- Behind-the-scenes with me - I'm so excited to take you along for the process of creating something that will hopefully be sold in stores! Are coloring books relaxing and enjoyable for you? Let me know if you have any suggestions for pages and they might make it into the book!

A library with a window seat with a cat staring out the window would be cool. You could put all kinds of knick knacks on the shelves and see if people give the books titles.
Yesssss, coloring in all those books would be PERFECT
@@thegraytergood just donât forget the cat
@@thegraytergood yes the cat is very important
Maybe a vibey kinda bedroom that has leaves and a tv?
That's a great idea
Update: the secret preorder page is up!!! www.thegraytergood.net/good-things-grow-here
What I currently have drafted:
- some lettering/quote pages with illustrations around them
- a library
- a bookshelf
- a color testing page (so you can try your pencils/markers before starting on the page)
- a coffee shop
- a billboard (just wait haha)
- some pattern and simpler pages for more zen / chill experiences
Definitely a library!
maybe a classroom? or a theater?? or a bedroom!
You could do like, a empty or half full yoga class or something with nudes and, like, blunt greens would look nice maybe đ
@@elliechafinlove the theater idea!
maybe a graveyard, beach/poolside, haunted house or themepark
Just a small comment, the really detailed stuff that you did looks really cool, but as a coloring book user, that would be hard for me. Because itâs so small it would be tedious for me to stay within the lines and Iâm afraid it would be more of a hassle than a joy. The rest of your smaller details still had plenty of room to not be too small and stressful. But thatâs just my personal experience.
i think these pages are for a digital colouring book, so the user can zoom in and colour in those fine details much easier than in person
i'm not 100% sure on that though
Tysm for this feedback, thatâs very helpful! đ«Ąđ
yup same
@user-wh6ti2qc8bIâm trying to have a mix of both small details and large spaces because I donât want it to be overwhelming at all đ„° I really appreciate yâallâs feedback on this bc it is for you
I agree, I think a more minimalist approach would be best to allow the user to be more creative with their colouring and designs
Ugh this is adorable! A vanity and a closet
I love the idea of a vanity, I have a bestie table draft rn but it would be so fun to color makeup bottles and stuff
@@thegraytergood absolutely! It sounds so cute! :)
Maybe a greenhouse? Like a little glass or wooden greenhouse with different plants and flowers inside. I think it would be cute
Absolutely đ„°đ
Omg I would buy your coloring book so fast if you came out with one!!!! đ
Itâs coming out this fall, at least thatâs the plan anyways đ„čđđ» I would love to see you use it omg
you should a page where itâs like exotic flowers and plants thriving everywhere i think that would be cute :))đș
the music was raising my anxiety for no reasonđœ
Mine too (the music) it was weird how it triggered it đœ
@@adrian.d yaa
an abanoned cabin or room would be so cool, you can smother it in different camps and let it be overgrown
Iâm thinking a Carnival, or just a aesthetic calm bedroom theme, with vines, cds on the wall, messed up bed sheets, flower pillow, window with rain droplets, a music player on the bed with plugged in earbuds, and little music notes to show music is playing, some plushies like bunnies, and maybe like a side dresser with tulips in a vase, books, the cube candle, maybe a phone there? A cute wobbly flower carpet, a laundry basket with clothes, a closet with heart handles, and maybe a video game console like PlayStation, and some nice controllers, with cute little blossom or heart joy-con buttons :) đ
Here is some ideas from me đ
-a bedroom with one of those built in window seats
-a pet shop
-a sailboat with windows out to the sea
-a cute little grocery shop/japanese snack shop
-the mall
-an airplane with a window view
-a bus with an old couple or something
:)))
Good luck, and i also really like your art style
Please don't overwork yourself! It's nice to put in a mix of some high detailed pictures, some medium detailed, and some low detailed. Just to keep your sanity in check lol. The drawing was really gorgeous, I can't wait to see more, but please don't overwork yourself!!!
Thank you so much đ„°đ„čđ«¶
How about an old timey kitchen or a fancy ballroom maybe? Or a greenhouse/orangerie/orchard perhaps?
Yessssss!
A Cozy corner with a Window, Book, Cup of Tea and many fairy lights
I love that idea đ„°
i love coloring books. will buy when itâs ready.
-An office with a desk in the middle it would have bookshelves with gloves etc and there would be a window on the right side (the pov it the door which is in the facing the desk)
I have the same ipad cover! A bit on the heavy side but it's simply the best, glad to see someone having it, is not that common
Yes agreed, itâs great and helps save my neck:)
Maybe like a little playground scene or like a cafe/bakery
Some other ideas are
A drawing room/area
Laundry room
Boutique
Flower store
Grocery store
Bowling area
Backyard area
Greenhouse
Salon / nail salon
Def a bakery
NO BECAUSE THIS IS ADORABLE
Omg thank you so much:) more pages coming soon!
Omg an nail artist and a digital artist??!! Noo wayyy :000
Get you a girl who does both đ„°
A simple comfy window seat
Fooooooood
Anything simple or calming
What about a spooky abandoned attic ? That would look cool! U could add cobwebs and all kinds of spooky stuff
Yuuusssss đ·ïž
A beautiful gardenđž
I love that idea! đ
It should be a spooky home and you should do a old styled hunted dining room
ur fine liner jar is amazing i NEED IT
Ty I made it using my Cricut!
@@thegraytergood its soo cute!!!
Green house, and a secret garden, both with framed ghosts please. đđ„°đ€Łđ
Cozy grandma living room. Lots of trinkets and retro patterns on everything. Want it to feel homey and comfortable. But I think this idea isnât practical since it has so many details needed to create the feel of walking into an old grannyâs living room.â„ïž
Yeeessssss but I love the idea of coloring all the things:)
Love your cat!!!
Sheâs the best đ„°
@@thegraytergood i know â„ïž
A garden with fairies and cute creatures and this one cute smol bean of a demon that has a flower crown on his head having fun with a fairy! And trees and flowers everywhere! Idk my imaginationâs going WILD rn.
I like a mixture of really small spaces and really large spaces! So I think youâre doing an amazing job so far! đ
I like the wobbliness especially on the tiles cause they do be like that
Thank youuuu, yes the light reflecting makes them look like that!
đđđđ The music fits perfectly to every artist when drawing. We start of somewhere and get chaotic with it
It looks amazing though. 10/10 would colour a ghost haunting a bathroom ^^
1000% creative chaos đ€Łđđ»
A cute living room, with a modern spin, like phone wires and laptops on the side and like coffee cup on a coffee table
It looks really nice! Good luck on finishing your first coloring book!
Tysm, I need it! đźâđš
You should do study with plantâs overflowing around it!
Looks so good for your first time
Ty I really appreciate it:) more pages coming tomorrow!
Sweet shop!! Make it look like something out of Harry potter, crazy sweets and treats overflowing everywhere!!
Maybe A simple early morning? Set in a cozy kitchen, with a cup of tea on the table as the only reminder that someone was there recently. Very cottage in early summer or spring vibes
I love that idea đ„čđ
A garden would be nice with a bench and a little bird somewhere. A small workroom would be cute with a little pet ur choose
This is too cute! I love the ghost.
Thank you so so much đ„čđ»
That is a SERIOUS amount of detail and it looks amazing!
An art room with a really messy desk and in the backround a wall with fairy lights and vines
1000000%
Ooo maybe in a train seat reading a book a cup of coffee and a small piece of cake while the trees go by?
Cuteeeee yes đ„°đ
Could you draw a small pond covered with sea roses (maybe also some koi fish). In the background a small rowing boat or a bench and a weeping willow. If there's any space left to fill you could add a few cute froggies.
That sounds so sweet and magical đ„°đ„čđ«¶
I would create a house exterior including a lot of plants that sort of hide the house like a a fairy tale.
It looks amazing!
Iâm so glad you like it!
Bedrooms are cute đ„°
I have one done! Need to film it soon for yâall:)
I absolutely love this
I LOVE IT U SLAYED IT GIRLL
Wowđ
Part 2 coming soon!
Could you do like a dog daycare or something that has dogs
Iâve never drawn a dog đ« but I can try!
Omg this is adorable
Iâm really glad yâall like it đ„čđ«¶
Yard/outside it can have one massive tree with a tire swing, overgrown lawn with some big olâ rocks and a fence wi the vines growing over it
Leave some lines left unfinished or draw some things that could be filled in in different ways! The reason why I donât do colouring books is bc it feels like they leave no room for creativity, so if you could include some more interesting/challenging pieces of art thatâd be great for ppl like me and maybe open you up to a wider audience. Consider also adding a few pages that are meant to be âteachingâ the buyer different drawing techniques, either in the line art itself or by idk including a few different colouring options for inspo in the back of the book
Try a park or like a picnic spot with all the pretty picnic stuff or maybe a broader landscape with grass and river in front! Would be soo cute
again I confirm that I love your voice! You should perform some ASMR whispering đ
Maybe like a greenhouse with all kinds of exotic plants like BLUE BANANAS from Hawaii!
Oooooo that would be so cool!
Gorgeous!
Thank you so much đ„č
OMG I LOVE IT!!!
Maybe a park? Or a bedroom? Smthn where u can just have fun and spill personality into, yknow?
No way finally someone did this Iâve been waiting to see people make a coloring book on an iPad youâve inspired me to do the same thx âșïž
Maybe a garden and/or a greenhouse?
Definitely!
WHAT I'M SO INSPIRED
aahhhh yay I'm so glad!
Love your vids what about a backyard, a library, a bedroom, and a dining room
A bedroom with some shelf picture hanging. Some teddy bears. Some plants.
this looked good
I love it! I would love to colour it and I'm not really into colouring so thats it hahahaha the idea of tiles is super cute. I would say implement more of this creativity things, like leave the frames without nothing inside so the people can imagine what to to put inside, maybe an art gallery? Draw in some of the frames and leave other ones empty.
i would like to suggest the common city street but from the reflection of a puddle (bonus animal like a frog too maybe?)
Cute I love this!
An umbrella in a rainy day scenery outside in the street
Ugh yes I love it âïž
It's so nice đ«
Could you do a closet?
Oooo like this clothes spilling out? I think it would have to be messy for the realness
Omg so good!!
Just a suggestion, but maybe landscapes like a park with flowers or something with including the seasons. Another idea is a bedroom or office.
Okay I donât know about you guys but I loveee coloring kitchens
Iâd love to learn how to do this so so cuteee
Maybe something with big space to colour in, when there are tiny spaces to colour in it really makes me frustrated!
There will definitely be a mix of both! Iâll have pages that are simple, medium, and more complex so you have variety:)
one time in 1st grade I made a colouring book for all my classmates, it had Pokémon, Minecraft and other things in it, I was so happy to see my classmates colouring in it, also it was a pretty good book
Can you do some bonzai in a window with a view of a beautiful garden?? I just love plants and flowers so much, I think the vibe it's so cozy and cute
And inside pov shot of a greenhouse would be dope
Yessss all the plants đ
Could you do a teenager girls bedroom?
I can definitely try, Iâll add it to my list but everything has to be approved by my publisher
@@thegraytergood of course!
And also I think u should do a living maybe and also a bedroom and a kitchen!
I think a modern ball would be nifty (if you do fashion at all) like, people in modern takes of various fashions worn to balls.
Though that may be more work/research than you want to do/have time to do. But my first thought was library, and you already have that lol
I appreciate the idea - Iâm not skilled at drawing people so I probably wonât include any in this book but itâs definitely something I want to get better at :)
I'd buy it in a heartbeat omg
omg girl thatâs so good teach me đđ»đđ»đđ»đđ»â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
I really like the bathroom you drew! Itâs fun and somewhat cartoonish.
What about drawing animals like your black cat? Maybe some horses or exotic animals?
I would buy a coloring book with animals and zen placeâs like the ocean (beach, wharves, lighthouses, in the ocean with tropical fish), lush green hills, forests, etc.
cute little cottagecore kitchen
A kitchen with tiled walls, each tile has a floral pattern on it and there is another ghost painting in the corner, but it has a square frame. there is a window somewhere close to a dining table (6 chairs) on the table there is 3 candles and the kind of windows next to the table are the ones with the squaes on them, ofc some blinds or whatever and a wood looking floor. There you go!
a sunset reflection on the ocean with dolphins would be a good one
Fun!
Love it
Iâm so glad to hear it đ„č𫶠tysm!
i would definitely color that page
You should make each page a different room that would be in a house or something that would be in ever room
Also a cool balcony
I actually have a ton of zentangles that I want to make into a coloring book, but I didnât even know how to start or where to get them printed out or what kind of paper or anything. đ„
I've actually helped an artist self publish before and am taking new clients. A lot if it depends on dimensions of the final product. And unfortunately, you can't market them as "zentangles" as that word is trademarked, and your work can't be an exact copy of an existing, searchable design to sell as a coloring book. Scanning your designs to a PNG file is step one as it has the best image quality. Depending on what you want to do with those scans, the next steps will vary.
Hmmm⊠What about a toy shop? With tons of plushies. (Iâm obsessed with plushies, itâs so cuuuute)
I love that idea!
A coffee shop, or a scene outside a coffee shop on a rainy day.
OK I know this probably isnât what youâre thinking about doing at the moment and you donât have to do it I know you have a lot of request but, could you maybe do horses near a waterfall? Thanks!
I donât normally draw a lot of animals but maybe the waterfall? I can add it to my list đ
Ok!! Thanks!!!!!
It might be cool to have pages that progressively zoom into a part of a scene. Maybe create mini scenes that are only seen in the zoomed in pages.
I'm thinking movie theater, especially if people decide to try and draw a scene from a movie on the big screen!
Hey The Grayter Good.
What about a balcony with potted plants. A wooden frame with climbing roses.đč
Your bathroom is lovely.
Regards
BonđŁ
Soo pretty you should do a asthetic bedroom! đđđ
Oooooo I love the idea! With cute pillows and decor đ€
