Loved seeing your artistic progression! I’ve never completely finished one book completely much less the same book twice. What an achievement!

[marshabraswell]

Seeing your two versions was absolutely fascinating! Your progression as an artist is clearly seen, as is your confidence. I'm a beginner and my pages show that I am a new colorist; but your two versions give me hope. Thank you so much for sharing!

The bottom one, omg, such vibrant colors, so inspiring!

First of all - I am super impressed that you have actually finished BOTH copies! Wow - what an achievement! I lapped up looking at each comparison - so interesting to see how you coloured in each version and all of them an inspiration.

I didn't think I'd sit thru your video, but it was really interesting! I feel encouraged, even excited to complete the book myself, thank you! Right now I'm still learning to color individual items such that completing whole pages seems a long ways off but Im getting there. God bless you! And you did great on those two copies!

I've been coloring for years, but picked up many things that will improve my art. Particularly you techniques of shading, highlighting, and creating depth. Thanks for being such a giving person.

It is great to see your colouring transformation. I love the way you added some background and they are quite lovely. I am a beginner, and my stage is at your first book. Need to hone my skills, my patience and my hand stroke. Your video gives me hope towards that aim. so thank you!!

[YuliyaAnts]

Beautiful work! It's amazing that you've completed both books. Comparing the two, it's evident that you've made significant progress—the newer pieces are richer in color and detail. I also see how well-coordinated the colors are in your new book; they complement each other beautifully. Thank you for sharing this with us!

Absolutely beautiful 🥰❤️ it's a great feeling when I finished my first adult coloring book. Haven't finished any of the others yet. Enchanted forest was the one I finished. I loved it so much. I bought a second one. Happy coloring to you and have a wonderful Saturday! ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌺🌼🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄

That was fascinating Rachel. Both books are lovely but you can really see how your style and confidence has grown - gives me hope!

[gagaforgluing]

Love these sort of comparison videos. Its really interesting to see how your colouring has changed. Xxx

[kermit]

Absolutely stunning work! I’m trying to complete the book right now myself and I think you’ve inspired me to buy a second one. What a fantastic way to sharpen your skills, eh? Absolutely gorgeous work. Love seeing your progress.

[JenniferHRoss]

Wow. You just turned up as a recommended video, and I was absolutely riveted the entire time. I'm a beginning colourist and there are some lovely ideas in both the 2013 and the 2020 versions for colours and approaches. This is wonderful. Thank you so much. Now I'm off to investigate your other videos.

[taniamello]

Rachel, it is simply astonishing how much more vibrant your colors have become in a few years !!!! First time I see anything like it ! You are amazing! Congratulations! 🦋😉😎

[JustNatasha]

Wow! I really love the page with the sunset background and black flowers.

[nancyhappily]

What a beautiful accomplishment to color 2 books completely. Your evolving style and skills are very encouraging to a beginner like me. Thanks for being such a positive influence.

[loveincolors]

Love watching it! Your colorings are so inspiring! And it was quite interesting to see the changes, and how you became more bold, trying out different things - even drawing! I'm glad Youtube popped your video up in my timeline! 💖

[MiaFoxColoring]

Great video! I enjoyed it very much. I didn’t finish even one coloring book, and u finished two same ones😀 That’s impressive. I must be the slowest colorist ever🙈 I’m trying to finish Secret Garden postcards, so hopefully soon..🤞🏻 Anyway thanks for sharing your progress with all of us😘

[Patracat]

Wow, like others here, I am floored that you have completed two of the same book! Absolutely love seeing the differences on each page. Sometimes I like the first book best, other times I prefer the second😀 It is a great reference for someone like me who relies heavily on You tube for inspiration🙂
