Eventually, the brave enough to do hard things coloring page gets done. After enough procrastination, obviously.
Every word on this page is packed into bold, pattern-filled lettering that earns its real estate. ‘I am brave enough to do hard things, after enough procrastination’ runs top to bottom, with each word styled differently: curling scales on ‘brave,’ diagonal stripes across ‘HARD,’ tiny stars tucked inside ‘PROCRASTINATION.’ The border pulls together swirling flourishes, small hearts, stars, and paired laurel sprigs for a frame that feels celebratory rather than cluttered.
This is the kind of Real Lifermations page where the punchline lands hardest when it’s finished. The interior fills of each letter use distinct micro-patterns, dots, chevrons, waves, spirals, giving colorists a chance to treat every single letter as its own small project. Complexity sits firmly in the medium-to-high range, and the session leans meditative, the kind where you lose track of time and then feel weirdly proud of yourself.


Watercolor pencils reward the wavy and swirling micro-patterns inside the larger letters, letting you blend seamlessly across the curves without fighting tight edges. For the smaller lettering like ‘enough to do’ and ‘after enough,’ fine liners in coordinating colors can add subtle shading or outline contrast once the base color is down. Use alcohol markers cautiously here: the dense micro-patterns inside each letter leave very little wiggle room for blending before you hit an outline.

At standard 8.5 by 11 inches, the fine internal line work inside each letter is still coloring-friendly, but scaling up to 110 or 115 percent on a legal-size sheet gives noticeably more breathing room inside ‘PROCRASTINATION’ at the bottom. Cardstock in the 65 lb range keeps the sheet stable under watercolor pencils without buckling.
