DTIYS Challenges and New Coloring Page • YamPuff's Stuff

I’ve had a great time this summer with some DTIYS challenges on Instagram. It’s been a really fun way to kind of kick back and get creative without having to design a character, think of a pose, or come up with an outfit. As well, I’ve enjoyed trying to let the art style of the DTIYS challengers influence my chibi style. I’ve tried to be a little more fluid and less same-y with the chibis I’ve drawn. I think as artists it can be easy to get stuck into a kind of comfort zone or style that just works for you that you stick with all the time that, even when you are bored of it yourself, can be hard to get out of.

These are some of the DTIYS challenges that I’ve participated in so far! You can check them out in more detail on my Instagram.

For today though, I have an extra special surprise – a new DTIYS challenge and an accompanying coloring page! This one really caught my eye because of the gorgeous colors and rainbow gradient. You can see the original art by Silkdxll on her Instagram account! I saved this one a while back to my little DTIYS inspiration folder for a rainy day. Looking at it, I just knew it would make a fantastic chibi. And here we are!

I had a blast drawing her and coloring her in, and I tried a few new coloring techniques for her skin, hair and eyes. Overall I’m happy with the result! AND, thanks to Silkydxll’s generosity, she is now also available as a free coloring page!

My Rainbow Girl Chibi coloring page is available for coloring – click for the full-size image!

You can download the linearts for digital coloring, or print them for traditional coloring and/or card making. You can upload your finished, colored image or photo anywhere on the web as long as credit and/or link back is provided! If you tag or message me on any of my social media pages I’ll like it and maybe share it to my page! On DeviantArt I’ll add the work to my coloring Fanclub. I love seeing the creativity that goes into the coloring process!

Please note that my linearts are for personal, non-commercial use only. Do not download the lineart and upload it somewhere else uncolored. If you want to share my lineart, link back. Do not submit your coloring of my lineart as a print, or as a t-shirt on a site like Zazzle or Etsy. If you’re interested in a collaboration to sell stuff with my work, contact me and we’ll see if something can be worked out.

If you’re not sure about anything, just contact me!
