I’m showing you how to publish your very own, physical coloring book, and teaching you exactly how to sell it on Amazon, too.
I recently started designing and self-publishing coloring books as a fun side project, and, unexpectedly, they became some of the most enjoyable projects I’ve worked on in a long time. So in Publish A Coloring Book, I’m teaching you my entire process from start to finish
Self-publishing coloring books is not only creatively fulfilling, but it’s a fun way to earn real money from your artwork, too.
There’s a big market for coloring books, for both children and adults, so I’m sharing all the skills and nitty gritty technical details I’ve learned since I started publishing and selling my own.
In this comprehensive Skillshare course, I teach you how to:
— Choose a theme for your illustrations and gather inspiration
— Draw full-page line art with the right margins and specs for printing and selling
— Lay out your designs as a book in easy-to-use, free software
— Design an eye-catching cover that will attract buyers
— Self-publish your coloring book and start selling it immediately!
This class is for all artists, whether you prefer digital illustration or pen and ink!
So long as you have the tools to draw black and white line art, whether that’s with pen and ink or digitally on your iPad or computer, you can publish your very own coloring book – and much more easily than I bet you imagine.
I use the Procreate app for iPad to create my artwork in class, but you can follow along using any art-making tools you like, including good old pen and ink.
From inspiration to publication
I’ll walk you through the entire publishing process, starting with finding inspiration for your book’s theme and illustrating all the pages. Next we’ll lay out the interior and design an eye-catching cover using free and easy software anyone can access online. And finally, I’ll show you how to upload and publish your book on Amazon, so you can start selling it in a matter of days. As a bonus, I even answer some of your most pressing book marketing FAQs!
