How to Create a Coloring Book From Scratch Using Free Tools

IMPORTANT: Always read and adhere to the individual image licence that accompanies the image you'd like to use in your work. Be aware that some licences place restrictions on commercial usage (for example, Vecteezy allows up to 50 copies of a work to be sold before you're required to purchase an extended licence). Please see this video's description for further information, as well as links to Vecteezy's image licence, and a link to my video on proper image attribution.

We ll never love you

Would you also do a tutorial with Inkscape? The Gravit Designer download sets off all sorts of spam/unsafe alerts on my security software and I just don't trust it. I can't find a download that doesn't spam you with ads and big click links that you can't tell if it's Gravit or spam.

This was a very great presentation, thank you! The method you explain looks great for children's coloring books, but how would you go about implementing this technique for adult coloring books?

I know this video is three years old but Gravit is now amalgamated with Corel Vector

Gravit
has changed and seems more difficult to get and use

Hello Rachel,
Thanks for a wonderful tutorial. I've imported an image jpg. I've been trying to separate it but nothing is working. Just trying to separate the image as you did. IF you have reply as soon as possible, it would be very help full for me.

Thank u so much! A dream come true of want to do a coloring book for years.

Hello, first of all thank you very much for the explications.
I dont know why, but on gravit, it is impossible to select one part of the picture and put it on another page ( I can't take move one animal from the first picture, the whole picture moves. or i can only move one tiny part of one animal) I ve tried to make a whole groupe but I guess I am doing something wrong, do you have any idea?

My account close 😢 Do you know other websites for sell low content?

This was just what I was looking for. However, I was trying to follow along with Illustrator and got lost almost immediately during the conversion part. I would absolutely love to watch you do the same thing in the current version of Illustrator. I haven't worked in Illustrator for years and have forgotten nearly everything. It's daunting. I love your channel. You are a calm voice with an exceptional eye amongst all the noise. Keep up the great work! Cheers!

Really Amizing

Hi Rachel can you please do a video how to choose a category for an adults coloring book to publish on Barnes and Noble Press.

Hi Rachel, can you do a video for Barnes & Noble how to choose categories for low content books. I have made an adults coloring book, and have no idea how to choose the category for it.

is gravit synonymous with coreldraw right now? the link you provided leads me to coreldraw site

What is the difference between vector program and illustrator, like Procrate, can we use it instead the vector one

Feb., '23. Sorry but your info is out of date! Gravit is now "Corel Vector" and vecteezy images are NOT supported on their platform. I tried downloading and importing several.

Gravit is no longer free :(

I love this🥰

Everything that I downloaded from vecteezy downloaded as jpeg. I am working on a PC. Any thoughts since I don't have a MAC?

Hi Rachel...could you please tell me the cover dimensions for this interior?

Is that for KDP or any other platform ?

Actually the free art on vecteezy asks you to give them credit when you use it.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this and just trying to figure things out. I am technically challenged but believe I can do this! I am embarrassed to say that I don't know what VECTOR is...

While downloading from free version of vecteezy they are asking to use attribution. But in your video it is showing no attribution required. I think you are using paid version of it.

I'm brand new to this and to vecteezy. The part where you are resizing, grabbing the image and making it fit. It's not doing that for me. It just draws boxes

When you download the picture it says “attribution required”, so does that mean you give credit to them in the coloring book?

"I am creating a coloring book using scratches from Creative Fabrica. Some of these images have a commercial use license, while others are in the public domain or have a free license. What should I include in the copyright notice at the beginning of the coloring book to make sure I am following the proper copyright procedures and respecting the rights of the artists? Can I just mention Creative Fabrica as the source, or do I need to list the individual artists and licenses for each image?"

Thank you so much!

nice work 👌how to add attribute on coloring book?

When I delete the background it deletes my picture..really struggling here

Wao..you are such a nice teacher. I really enjoyed the video. Thank you.

What if you want to draw your own pages and make them into a coloring book instead of using free vectors or someone else’s vectors? How do you take your drawings and turn them into the correct files, etc to create the coloring book?

How do we do color by numbers?

দারুণ 👌

Wow that was really great tutorial

Thank you so much, Rachel! words cannot explain how grateful I am! Thank you a million timesssss! This tutorial has just given me the confidence I need to create my first coloring book.

Thank you!!! I will be rewatching this for sure

Wait. How do you separately click the images to move them to separate pages?

Is it possible for u to do another video on the new version? it doesn't have all the options you used. .svg was not on the list to select from for example.

Amazing! Thank you, I really enjoyed the video

Hi Rachel, why am I unable to remove the white background of the picture and also not able to ungroup. I am also unable to download the file from Vecteezy in svg format. Please help. THanks so much.

I am always late to the game - I loved this video! However, Gravit is no longer free. Would Vectr give the same results ( I have a Mac)

use photopea

Thanks so much, this has been very helpful!

i am from Bangladesh. yours videos very helpful

the free version it's not giving me the option to modify the borders' color 🤔

Is there any one that can be used for phone
