Do you color line art with strong black outlines?
Black outlines can be great for beginners!
Coloring books and black digital stamps have easy to read shapes which makes for a stress-free coloring experience.

What once was helpful becomes the thing holding you back.
Psssttt… If your coloring skills have stagnated and your artistic growth has plateaued…
My latest video shares the dangers of black line art and why it prevents you from moving beyond beginner coloring.
