How to Create a Coloring Book in Canva Using ChatGPT, Whisk, or Other AI
If you’ve been thinking about creating a coloring book (kids, adults, affirmations, faith, seasonal, niche-based), this is one of the easiest ways to do it using AI + Canva.
You do not need drawing skills.
STEP 1: Decide Your Coloring Book Theme
Start with a clear theme. This makes everything else easier.
Examples:
- Affirmations for Women
- Black History Icons
- Kids Alphabet Animals
- Faith-Based Coloring Pages
- Stress Relief Mandalas
- Seasonal (Valentine’s, Easter, Back to School)
Pick one audience + one purpose.
STEP 2: Use ChatGPT to Plan the Book
Come to ChatGPT first to map everything out.
Prompt example:
Create a 20-page coloring book outline for [THEME]. Include page ideas and short captions suitable for coloring books.
ChatGPT can give you:
- Page ideas (what each illustration should be)
- Optional captions or affirmations
- Title ideas
- Age-appropriate wording
Save this outline. This becomes your blueprint.
STEP 3: Generate Coloring Page Art with AI (Whisk or Others)
Now create the actual black-and-white line art.
Whisk / AI Image Prompt Example:
Black and white coloring page illustration of a confident Black woman with natural hair, simple bold outlines, no shading, no grayscale, clean line art, large open spaces for coloring, white background, printable style.
Important tips for coloring pages:
- Say black and white
- Say no shading
- Say bold outlines
- Say white background
- Say printable coloring page
Generate multiple images until you have enough pages.
STEP 4: Upload Everything to Canva
Open Canva → Create a custom size:
- 8.5 x 11 inches (standard coloring book size)
Upload your AI images.
For each page:
- Place one image per page
- Center it
- Keep margins clean
- Optional: add a short caption or affirmation at the bottom
Example caption pages:
- “I am strong.”
- “God is with me.”
- “I can do hard things.”
STEP 5: Create the Cover in Canva
Your cover matters.
Include:
- Book title
- Subtitle
- Clean, eye-catching design
- Color (covers should be colorful, inside pages stay black & white)
Example title ideas:
- Coloring Confidence: 20 Pages of Empowerment
- Faith & Calm: A Coloring Book for Peace
- Little Leaders Coloring Book
STEP 6: Export Correctly
When finished:
- Download as PDF (Print)
- Make sure “flatten” is on
- Test print 1 page to check line thickness
STEP 7: Selling Options
You can sell your coloring book:
- Etsy (digital download)
- Stan Store / Beacon
- Shopify
- Gumroad
- Bundle it with planners or journals
You can also:
- Create multiple volumes
- Niche down (teachers, moms, kids, faith, mental health)
- Offer PLR if you own the rights to the art
BONUS: Fast Page Creation Hack
Ask ChatGPT for 50–100 image prompts for your theme, then batch-generate your pages in Whisk or another AI tool. This saves hours.
Final Encouragement
You don’t need to overthink this. One solid coloring book can turn into:
- A series
- A bundle
- A passive income product
- A lead magnet
If you’re building digital products, coloring books are one of the simplest places to start.
