How would you like to learn how to create a new, popular coloring book?

 Even if you can't draw a stick man or a straight line?

Oh, and by the way, is searched for on Google around 5000 times a month in the US alone.



If the answer is yes to one or both of these questions, we have the answers and to be honest; when we first found out about this type of coloring image we couldn't believe our eyes.

People were actually buying these coloring books. One of the best sellers sells 613 copies per month with a PROFIT of over $1175 per month. 

Hi, let me introduce us.

We are a duo of course and product designers who've been creating products for Amazon and Etsy for over 10 years.  We are Jayne Willingale of SylverZone Printables and Marian Blake of Marian's Design. Although we both create courses and products for the digital product markets, we do not step on each other's toes because we use different software to create the products.

This is our first course together but by no means our first course.

So what's the new coloring book we have found?

What do you think of when you think of a coloring book? Most people think coloring books are where you get line drawings and you color in between the lines. OR you have a greyscale image and you use the depth of the color grey as a way to shade your image. To be honest, so did we.

This new type of book turns these answers on their head. Quite literally. The images the customer gets are colored already and they have to fill in the black! And even more bizzare, there are different sub-niches of images, so you can pick one and make a book empire in one sub-niche.

This may all sound hard to do, but it isn't. If you can follow simple instructions, you can do this. In some sub-niches, you don't even have to draw and color the original design, you can download free to commercially use images and with a few clicks of your mouse have an image for your book. Other niches may take a little more time to master, but you still don't have to be a Van Gough or Michaelangelo to create useable images.

These three images show some of the images you can create for this type of coloring book.

The one above is an example of layering images using Affinity Software.

The one on the top right shows a squared background image for doodling and the one of the bottom right is a flower design with the black removed. These were created using free software.

We are so happy to announce our new course

A quick word about the software.

The Affinity software suit is an award-winning photo editing, graphic design, and page layout software. It is made up of 3 individual software - Designer, Photo, and Publisher. Jayne, who uses them all the time and has created courses on how to use the software, will guide you through the affinity section of the course so you will quickly learn the creative steps.

Gimp and Inkscape are similar, but not a copy, of Photo and Designer. They are free to use and Marian will guide you through this section of the course. The techniques she teaches do not take long to learn.
