ARTFUL ILLUSTRATIONS FOR COLORING

GOING THROUGH SOME CHANGES!
PLEASE NOTE: As of August 22, 2026, I’ve had to remove my printable, downloadable PDF coloring pages from this website due to people/entities making fraudulent credit card purchases from my shop. Shopify, who has been no help whatsoever, has been billing me for these “chargebacks” ($15 each instance + the original price of the PDF, typically $2.50) instead of those committing the fraud, and I simply cannot afford to lose any more money. Very frustrating for an independent artist. Until I find a solution, I’ve simply removed all of my downloadabe products from this website.
That said, Ruby Charm Colors has a collection of over 200 hand-drawn, artful illustrations you can download as PDFs, print and then color on your favorite paper and the designs are available only on Etsy at this time. Most of these illustrations are also included in the books published by Ruby Charm Colors.
Three of my coloring book art journals (Volume 1, Volume 2 and Volume 3), feature full size pages to color plus extra “worksheet” pages where you can test your colors, take notes, practice or experiment.
Insectimaginary, Oceanimaginary, and Birdy, A Fanciful Bird Coloring Book, are also available online. Birdy can be found as an Artist Edition book which is printed on thicker paper and spiral bound, but supplies are limited as the book is only printed on occasion by the artist through a small, boutique printer.
While the original edition of the Big Book of Color Charts is available online, a slightly revised version is available as a downloadable, printable PDF so you can print the pages you need on your favorite paper. Stay tuned because a major revision of this book is in the works and should be available sometime in 2027.
The spiral-bound and tabbed Artist Edition of the Big Book of Color Charts has sold out five times, and is currently unavailable.
Ruby Charm Colors also has a number lined writing notebooks with artful covers for everyday use in addition to more structured yearly Creative Companion Organizer & Coloring Art Journals.
All of the designs in these books are hand-drawn by the artist⎯no AI (Artificial Intelligence) is used, so when you purchase a Ruby Charm Colors book, PDF or other product, you are supporting an independent artist and helping to keep an essential creative profession alive.
Blick helps support independent artists like me by offering a small commission on art supplies purchased online through my website.
