Costumed Coloring Time!

It’s time for this month’s coloring pages and they’re also Halloween themed to boot! I’ve dressed the Princess Pups in lots of fun costumes in the past and love putting them in new costumes. It took some time to decide that I wanted them to coordinate their costumes a bit more this year and all dress up as other animals! Almost all of the pups are on the first coloring page trick-or-treating!

Fluff Pup, Scruffy Pup, Teacup Pup, and Corgi Pup dressed for getting treats!

Pug Pup is missing from that coloring page though. But there’s a reason…it’s because she already ate too much candy, got a sugar crash, and fell asleep! She managed to fall asleep on a group of confused jack-o-lanterns though, whoops! She did get a lot of candy in a recent comic…

For this month’s timelapse, here’s a sleepy Pug Pup! Can you spot when I had to shuffle around a jack-o-lantern’s eyes? Remember you can nab these Halloween-riffic coloring pages and even more on the coloring pages section of the site!

Birthday (Coloring) Party!

It’s September, dang! That means I get a year older and the pups have a party! I mean, they usually have parties…but for the purpose of this month’s coloring pages, it’s a birthday theme! First up are Teacup Pup and Corgi Pup bringing some birthday balloons. They’ve got a tight grip on them and luckily aren’t going to float away!

Teacup Pup and Corgi Pup are wrangling birthday balloons for you to color!

Our other Princess Pup pals are taking in the wonderful sight of birthday cupcakes! Pug Pup, Scruffy Pup, and Fluff Pup are all sporting fun and pointy birthday party hats. I made sure to give each cupcake a different topping to make for a variety of coloring options. I may have had to look up too many delicious reference images of cupcakes in the process though, and I don’t have any at home!

Pug Pup, Scruffy Pup, and Fluff Pup are ready for cupcakes!

I picked this coloring page for this month’s time lapse. See if you can spot when I saw the awful tangent where Scruffy Pup’s eye was touching Fluff Pup’s snout and I absolutely had to fix it! Remember to download these and other coloring pages (including birthday ones) over on the Coloring Pages section!

Ice Cream Social of Coloring?!

Dang, August, where’d you come from? It’s still summery weather for at least another month, so the Princess Pups are throwing an ice cream social and enjoying large quantities of ice cream for this month’s coloring pages! Ice cream parties are some of the best parties!

First up we have Scruffy Pup, Pug Pup and Fluff Pup enjoying bowls of ice cream. But somehow, Scruffy Pup and Pug Pup have a very large bowl filled with very large scoops of ice cream! Good thing Pug Pup brought a very large spoon. Fluff Pup still seems confused about how this happened, including the massive cherry at the top of the sundae, as she enjoys as sensible-sized bowl of ice cream.

Wait, that’s a giant bowl with giant scoops of ice cream, where’d that come from?

Meanwhile, Corgi Pup gets assistance from TeaCup Pup in stacking the perfect ice cream cone! TeaCup Pup enjoys using her magic wand to help her friends. She might be overdoing it though – that stack of scoops is gonna be taller than Corgi Pup! TeaCup Pup should stick with one or two scoops like in a recent comic

So many scoops!

I really like how both of these turned out! The timelapse for the scoopy illustration looked more interesting to me though. Maybe because I felt like I got the the inks the way I wanted them from the sketches of the pups? In either case, I need to buy some ice cream the next time I’m grocery shopping, Really, I should have gotten some for photo references?…Remember there’s these and tons of more coloring pages for you over here!

Princess Pups Coloring Plaza is Available Now!

Hooray! The second collection of Princess Pups coloring pages is available for you to enjoy: Princess Pups Coloring Plaza! I wrapped up the final touches on the layout in mid-June and finally smashed that “publish” button at the end of June!

This book collects a nice helping of Princess Pups coloring pages (without the URL, mind you) printed one-sided in a handy book so there’s less chance for colors to bleed through to your next coloring adventure! It’s also got some rad activities made just for this book, like mazes, spot the differences, and some drawing prompts! Not only that, but we also get Space Pups activities and coloring pages like the one sampled below:

Somehow July slipped away from me, in part because I’ve been working on some other illustration projects on the side. The next planned coloring pages posted to the site will show up in the wee days of August. August? What happened, why is it almost August?

For a timelapse treat, here’s a 30 second timelapse of the creation of the cover art! Marvel at the doodles of ideas before I choose one to blow up and actually draw completely! See where I leave plain text notes about where the title text goes! After you’ve done that, go ahead and pick up a copy of Princess Pups Coloring Plaza for you or for a coloring friend.
