It's been a long time coming, but I finally got a chance to upload it!

In this video I show you guys how I create a few of my coloring journal pages using canva. I have been creating, and ordering prints of my custom planner journals using blurb and canva for a while now, and thought I could share a bit of my process.

This is more so  a brief overview of what I do rather than an in depth tutorial.

I mostly use PNG images with transparent backgrounds so that I don't  have an issue combining multiple images.

I converted all the illustrations from vectors to PNG ahead of time.

Most of the wonderful images of the cute girl drawings are from Adobe Stock, but I also edited them myself so the original images won't exactly look like the ones I edited in the video, but the look will still be somewhat similar.

I used adobe photoshop, and an XP-PEN tablet by the way.

A quick throwback to a 3 steampunk digital art photo manipulations I made a while ago featuring three main spunky protagonist: Laura, Amber, and Eve.

I was inspired to create a colorful flaming Phoenix illustration from a few black, and white Phoenix images I saw while casually surfing the web a few days ago.
