About Do It Before Me
Do It Before Me is a free collection of printable coloring pages, drawing ideas and simple creative resources. Most people arrive because they want one thing: a page they can actually print and use without digging through a long article first. That is what we try to make easier.
Our library includes simple pages for younger children, more detailed designs for older kids and adults, animal collections, drawing references and a smaller selection of wallpapers and design inspiration.
What we try to do well
We do not want every page on the site to be another generic introduction wrapped around a few images. A useful page should tell you what is included, who it is suitable for, how to save or print it, and what to try next.
- Make the artwork easy to reach. Printable images should be clearly linked and described.
- Write for the person using the page. We add practical notes such as difficulty, printing tips, tool choice and ideas for using the finished artwork when they genuinely help.
- Keep older pages maintained. We update confusing titles, broken links, outdated dates and thin descriptions instead of publishing endlessly and forgetting what is already here.
- Describe images properly. We use descriptive file names and alternative text where possible so images are easier to understand and navigate.
- Be clear about AI-assisted work. Some visuals or text may be created or refined with AI tools. Our AI Disclaimer explains how we use them.
How the site is maintained
Pages are reviewed and updated individually rather than treated as finished forever. We check the artwork, file links, titles, descriptions and practical instructions, and we try to correct older pages when something is unclear, outdated or no longer useful. We would rather improve an existing collection than add another near-identical page.
Our editorial rules for older content
- Do not fake freshness. We do not change an old page to “2026 Edition” simply to make it look new. If the content is evergreen, the title should stay evergreen.
- Use real file information. If an image is 1024 × 1536, we should not call it native 4K because of an old filename or search phrase.
- Separate similar pages by purpose. When several galleries cover the same broad topic, we try to make the difference clear—for example, easy pages, realistic pages, wildlife scenes or habitat-focused pages.
- Prefer useful instructions over filler. Printing settings, difficulty, paper choice, image dimensions and practical coloring tips are more valuable than a long generic introduction.
- Correct factual context when it matters. Creative pages can be fictional, but the surrounding explanation should not turn fiction into a factual claim.
Corrections and visitor feedback
We cannot guarantee that every older page is perfect. If you find a broken image, outdated statement, misleading title, accessibility problem or confusing instruction, send the exact page URL through our Contact Us page. Specific reports help us review the right page instead of guessing which asset is affected.
A note for parents and teachers
Our coloring pages are intended for creative, recreational and educational use. Difficulty varies from page to page, so it is worth checking the design before printing for a younger child. Ordinary crayons and colored pencils work well on standard printer paper; markers are usually better on heavier paper with a spare sheet underneath.
If you are unsure how to save an image, choose A4 or US Letter paper, or fix a cropped print, use the Print & Save Help guide.
