Q:We’re glad to meet you, can you tell us a little something about yourself?

A : Hi, I’m Gabb Prizo, 24 years old, living and doing a major in Geography from Rio de Janeiro – Brazil.

 

Q:  How did you start to color? When did this attraction begin?

A:  I started coloring as a hobby two years ago, during the “Coloring Boom” in Brazil, when the books from Johanna Basford became a true fever here.

Q:Do you use coloring as a small getaway from the real world?

A : I don’t  consider it as a getaway, but rather a moment when I can relax and meditate about my day.

 

Q:Is coloring time­ consuming? How often do you color on a weekly basis?

A :  Yes, it is a time-consuming task. Usually, I spend almost twenty hours a week . In the most detailed ones, I spend more than eight hours. In my days off, I like to coloring watching my favorite TV Shows. And in the weekends I’m always coloring.

Q:How do you prepare before coloring? Any special preps?

A:  Some drawings, when I saw for the first time, I knew instantly what do. Sometimes, for inspiration, I research on the Internet for real images, to see the lighting schemes and so on. But usually, I just put all my colored pencils on the desk and let my imagination flowing. I love to hear music, and watch my favorite shows at the same time when coloring! And some days I watch only tutorials, to improve and learn new techniques.

 

Q:What are your favorite supplies for coloring? Do you always use the same or you like to experiment with it?

A: I really like to try new kinds of coloring supplies. But I mostly use the watercolor pencils in my arts. They’re amazing. About brands, currently I use (and love them all) Faber-Castell,Staedtler[/easyazon_link], and [easyazon_link identifier=”B01HF15TLQ” locale=”US” tag=”color-planer-20″]Bruynzeel[/easyazon_link].

Q:Do you have special techniques and color mixes that you’d like to share with us?

Any tips and tricks?

A :I have a few tips and tricks, which I will share thru my Instagram and my new Youtube Channel. So folks, stay tuned.

 

Q: Do you have a specific “signature” in your art?

A: I consider myself an adventurous in coloring. Always searching for new techniques and realistic coloring. My coloring arts are my signature itself.

 

Q: Which books and patterns you find most enjoyable to color?

A : I love the floral patterns and the Doodles by [easyazon_link identifier=”1631061755″ locale=”US” tag=”color-planer-20″]Kerby Rosanes[/easyazon_link].

 

Q:Do you have a favorite author? How did he/she earn your admirations?

My first books are from Johanna Basford (I bought twice each book). And Kerby Rosanes, I’m totally crazy for Doodles. I love them a lot.
