Some evenings the planner is done, the to-do list is closed, and scrolling feels like the opposite of rest. That’s where Procreate coloring pages earn their spot on the iPad: you import one line-art page, pick a palette, and fill shapes until your shoulders drop. No blank canvas, no drawing skills needed, and no pile of pencils to tidy up afterwards.
Below are 8 coloring page sets I’d keep in Procreate for cozy evenings, from cozy rooms and cocoa mugs to detailed mandalas. After the list: what to look for, which file type works best, free vs paid pages, how to import and color a page step by step, and a simple evening coloring routine.
The Best Procreate Coloring Pages I Found
I skipped books made only for publishing on Amazon, pages aimed at small children and anything Halloween-only, and kept sets that say they work for digital coloring in Procreate. The list goes in four groups: cozy homes and mugs (1–2), bold and easy pages for tired evenings (3–4), holiday books for November and December (5–6), and detailed pages for slow sessions (7–8). All of them are PNG or PDF files that you import into Procreate; the steps are right after the list.
TL;DR: 8 coloring page sets for Procreate on the iPad, in four groups: cozy corners and homes (1–2), bold and easy pages for tired evenings (3–4), holiday books for November and December (5–6), and detailed pages for slow sessions (7–8). Every set is a PNG or PDF file you import into Procreate as a page; none of them is a coloring app.

1. 30 Cozy Home Sweet Home Coloring Pages (AnnaDigitalStudio)
Layouts: 30 pages: indoor, front porch, gardenFormat: PNG 300 DPI, 25.4 × 37.9 cm
Best for: detail lovers, cozy interiors, long sessions. Designed by AnnaDigitalStudio.
- 30 hand-drawn coloring pages in 3 themes: indoor rooms, front porches and garden scenes
- Warm interiors such as kitchens and reading nooks, porches with lanterns, gardens with ducks and lilies
- 30 high-resolution PNG files at 300 DPI, 25.4 × 37.9 cm
- The description names digital coloring in Procreate
These pages are more realistic than the kawaii sets: a bed with a patterned quilt, slippers on a wooden floor, a lantern on the porch. The cover shows a colored version next to the line art, which is handy as a palette idea if blank pages make you freeze. Pick this one if you like long, detailed coloring with lots of small shapes.
Best for a cocoa-and-blanket night
2. Cozy Mugs and Cocoa Coloring Pages (DESIGN POWER)
Layouts: 30 mug, tea and cocoa scenesFormat: 29 PNG + JPG, 300 DPI
Best for: cozy evenings, short sessions, tea and coffee lovers. Designed by DESIGN POWER.
- 30 coloring pages about coffee, tea, hot cocoa and the mugs that hold them
- House-shaped mugs with chimneys, star mugs with marshmallows, stacked teacups, sleepy pandas in blankets, mugs with books and letters
- 29 high-resolution PNG and JPG files, 300 DPI, bold line art without grayscale
- The description names Procreate and GoodNotes
The most on-theme set for cozy evenings: almost every page is a mug, and many come with a little story around them, like a letter, reading glasses or a snowy window. The pages range from very simple outlines to patterned cups, so the same file works on a tired night and on a slow Sunday. It's a new listing without favorites yet, which on Creative Fabrica often just means it hasn't been found.
Best for quick coloring breaks
3. Cute Storefronts Coloring Pages (Mimoshi Design)
Layouts: 10 bold and easy storefront pagesFormat: 10 PNG + PDF, 300 DPI, 8.5 × 11 in
Best for: beginners, quick breaks, Color Drop fans. Designed by Mimoshi Design.
- 10 bold and easy coloring pages of tiny shops: bakery, ramen stand, pizza place, coffee shop, burger and fries buildings
- 10 PNG files plus 1 PDF, 300 DPI, letter size (8.5 × 11 inches)
- Thick outlines that work well with Color Drop in Procreate
- The description names Procreate; rated 5.0 on Creative Fabrica
The most favorited set in this list, and it's easy to see why: the shops are funny, the lines are thick, and a page takes about as long as a cup of tea. Thick closed outlines are exactly what Color Drop needs, so you can fill a whole wall in one drag and spend the time on small details. Only 10 pages, so think of it as a starter set.
Best for a page a night
4. Simple Art: Bold and Easy Coloring Pages (TintZelo)
Layouts: 104 bold and easy pages + 21 coversFormat: PNG + JPG 300 DPI, 8.5 × 8.5 in; SVG, PDF, EPS
Best for: beginners, page-a-night colorists, minimalists. Designed by TintZelo.
- 104 bold, minimalist coloring pages: nature scenes, flowers, animals, objects and seasonal scenes
- 104 PNG and 104 JPG files at 300 DPI, 8.5 × 8.5 inches, plus SVG, PDF and EPS
- 21 extra cover images
- The description names Procreate for digital projects
If quantity matters, this is the big one: over a hundred square pages with very simple shapes, from a palm tree to a sleigh with gifts. The geometric frames make each page look finished even with flat colors, which suits nights when I only want to relax, not shade. The listing also talks a lot about publishing coloring books; for personal coloring in Procreate you only need the PNG folder.
Best for holiday evenings
5. Cozy Christmas Coloring Book (Kream Digital)
Layouts: 50 cozy Christmas scenesFormat: 50 transparent PNG + PDF
Best for: Christmas lovers, layer coloring, pet lovers. Designed by Kream Digital.
- 50 cute holiday scenes: cats napping under the tree, dogs in reindeer sweaters by the fireplace, cocoa and gingerbread
- 50 high-resolution PNG files with transparent backgrounds for digital coloring, plus a print-ready PDF
- The description names Procreate and GoodNotes and coloring on a separate layer
- Designed with the help of AI tools, as the description says
Transparent PNGs are the detail I care about most here: the line art drops onto its own layer, so you color underneath and the lines stay crisp. Fifty pages cover the whole holiday season, from a snowy window in November to a gift pile on Christmas Eve. The style is round and cute; if you prefer realistic scenes, look at the Home Sweet Home set above instead.
Best for festive drinks
6. Christmas Drinks Coloring Book (ADCPArt)
Layouts: 25 holiday drink pages + coverFormat: PDF, 8.5 × 11 in
Best for: holiday colorists, cocoa lovers, beginners. Designed by ADCPArt.
- 25 coloring pages plus a cover: hot cocoa with marshmallows, Christmas lattes, candy canes, gingerbread cookies, reindeer mugs
- Bold and easy thick outlines, no grayscale or shading
- 1 PDF file, 8.5 × 11 inches
- The description names editing in Procreate; the cover says 'Use digitally or print'
A fresh listing from October that pairs nicely with the cocoa set above if you want the same mood with a Christmas twist. It comes as a PDF only, so you import pages into Procreate one at a time (the steps are below). The thick outlines make it one of the easier holiday books to finish with Color Drop.
Best for still life fans
7. 30 Still Life Coloring Pages for Adults (AnnaDigitalStudio)
Layouts: 30 still life pagesFormat: PDF, 8.5 × 8.5 in
Best for: art-class fans, shading practice, grown-up colorists. Designed by AnnaDigitalStudio.
- 30 still life illustrations: fruit bowls, flowers in vases, jugs, teapots and cozy table corners (one classic page includes a skull)
- Aesthetic, minimalist bold and easy line art for all skill levels
- 1 high-resolution PDF, 8.5 × 8.5 inches
- The description names Procreate and GoodNotes
This feels like an art class you can take in pajamas: grapes, oranges, a flower jug, a teapot on a folded cloth. Still life is a nice way to practice shading with a soft brush, because the shapes are big and simple. Like the Home Sweet Home set from the same studio, the cover shows a colored example you can borrow a palette from.
Best for slow, detailed coloring
8. Intricate Mandala Coloring Pages Set (GFXexprt)
Layouts: 10 detailed floral mandalasFormat: PNG, JPG, PDF, 8.5 × 11 in
Best for: mindful coloring, detail lovers, mandala fans. Designed by GFXexprt.
- 10 detailed floral mandala pages with black linework
- PNG, JPG and PDF files, 8.5 × 11 inches
- The description names digital coloring in Procreate
- Rated 5.0 on Creative Fabrica
The opposite of bold and easy: tiny petals, dots and rings that take a whole evening. Several pages have large solid black areas, so they look striking even with only two or three colors. I'd keep this one for nights when I want to switch off completely and just fill shapes one after another.

What I Look For in Coloring Pages for Procreate
- Closed outlines. Color Drop fills a shape only if its line is closed. Thick, clean outlines (the bold and easy style) fill in one drag; sketchy lines leak color into the background.
- High resolution. 300 DPI files stay sharp when you zoom in to color tiny details. Every set in this list states 300 DPI or a large pixel size.
- A file you can import easily. One PNG per page is the simplest. A transparent background is even better, because the line art can sit on its own layer.
- A mood that fits your evenings. Simple pages for nights when you’re tired, detailed ones for weekends. A mix of both covers most weeks.
- No dates. None of these pages carries a year, so they work in any season you pull them out.
PNG, Transparent PNG or PDF: Which File Works Best
- Transparent PNG is the easiest to color. The lines arrive on a clear background, so you color on a layer underneath and the outlines stay crisp. The Cozy Christmas book in this list comes this way.
- PNG or JPG with a white background works just as well with one extra tap: set the line layer to the Multiply blend mode and the white turns see-through, so color on the layer below shows through.
- PDF holds the whole book in one file. Procreate can import a PDF, but a book of 25 or 30 pages is easier to handle if you bring in only the page you want to color tonight.
Free vs Paid Procreate Coloring Pages
Free coloring pages for Procreate are easy to find: artists share single pages on their blogs, and many designers offer one sample page from a bigger book. They’re a good test to see whether digital coloring is for you before you spend anything.
Paid books win on consistency and quantity. A free page is one picture; a full set gives you 30, 50 or even 104 pages in one style, enough for a page a night for months. With a Creative Fabrica All Access plan, books like these are included instead of bought one by one.
Free Inking Brushes for Drawing Your Own Page
If you’d like to draw a page of your own to color, two free inking brushes on Creative Fabrica are made for exactly that kind of line art. They’re offered as freebies, so there’s nothing to pay and no trial to start. Both come from the same designer and give rough, hand-drawn lines.
Free bold inker
Free Brash Inker Procreate Brush
Brushes: 1 Procreate brushLook: Chunky, slightly rough ink line
Best for: bold outlines, doodled characters, mandalas. Designed by HG Designs.
- One Procreate .brush file for iPad
- Expressive, imperfect ink lines with a slightly distressed edge
- Named uses include coloring page line art, doodles and folk art
- Rated 5.0 on Creative Fabrica (one review)
Thick outlines are what make a page relaxing to color, because Color Drop fills the shapes cleanly. Draw a few big shapes with this brush on a reference layer, and you have a page made to your own theme.
Free sketchy inker
Free Scruffy Inker Procreate Brush
Brushes: 1 Procreate brushLook: Loose, sketchy ink strokes
Best for: floral doodles, playful characters, detailed patterns. Designed by HG Designs.
- Loose, textured ink strokes for Procreate
- Suggested for doodles, comics, florals, mandalas and coloring pages
- Rough, organic lines rather than a clean pen
- From the same designer as Brash Inker
This one is lighter and messier than Brash Inker, which suits flowers and small details inside a bigger outline. I’d keep the two together: the bold brush for shapes, the scruffy one for texture.
How to Import a Coloring Page into Procreate
- Save the file from Creative Fabrica to the Files app on your iPad. If it’s a ZIP, tap it to unzip.
- Open Procreate, tap Import in the top right corner of the Gallery and choose the PNG, JPG or PDF. Procreate creates a new canvas with the page on it.
- For a PDF, Procreate asks how to bring the pages in; pick the option that gives each page its own canvas, or import just one page.
- Open the Layers panel. If the line art has a white background, tap the N next to the layer and set the blend mode to Multiply.
- Add a new layer under the line art. This is where all your color goes, so the outlines never get painted over.
How to Color in Procreate: Reference Layer and Color Drop
The trick that makes digital coloring fast is the Reference setting. Tap the line art layer, choose Reference, then select your empty color layer. Now when you drag the color circle from the top right corner into a shape, Color Drop fills it on the color layer while reading the outlines from the line art.
- Color leaks out? Keep your Pencil on the screen after dropping and slide left to lower the Color Drop threshold, or close the gap in the outline with a small brush.
- Shading. Add another layer, turn on Alpha Lock or use it as a clipping mask, and brush a darker tone along one side with a soft airbrush.
- Texture. A pencil or gouache brush over flat color makes a page look hand-colored. My Procreate brushes for planners list has a few that work here too.
- Colors that go together. Pick a palette before you start instead of choosing each shape. Ready palettes from my Procreate color palettes guide keep a whole page in one mood.
A Cozy Evening Coloring Routine
Coloring works best as an evening ritual when it has a clear start and a clear end. Here is the 30-minute version I’d follow:
- Close the day first (5 minutes). Tick off today in your planner and write tomorrow’s top three tasks, so your head doesn’t keep listing them while you color.
- Make a drink and pick one page (2 minutes). Choose by energy: a bold and easy storefront when you’re tired, a still life or mandala when you have more patience.
- Choose a palette (3 minutes). Five or six colors are enough. Fewer choices means more coloring and less deciding.
- Color for 20 minutes. Big shapes first with Color Drop, then small details, then a little shading if you feel like it. Unfinished pages are fine; they’re waiting for tomorrow.
- Save and stop. Rename the canvas with the date or the book name and close the iPad.
If you like evening rituals, my Sunday reset ideas and self-care planners pair well with a coloring night.
Procreate or a Coloring App?
Coloring apps on the iPad come with their own page libraries and very simple tools, usually by subscription. Procreate is a one-time purchase and a full drawing app, so it takes a few minutes to learn, but you can color any page you own, use any brush and keep every finished page as a PNG. If you already have Procreate for planner stickers or lettering, coloring pages are an easy way to get more out of it.
Keep a note about the colors you chose when you save a finished page. For a next session built around your own marks, these beginner art journal prompts include two-color blocks and a palette from a personal photo, each paired with a small observation.
Who These Coloring Pages Are For
- Planner people who need an off switch at the end of the day, without another screen full of notifications.
- Beginners in Procreate who want to learn layers, Color Drop and palettes without drawing from scratch.
- Former paper colorists who miss coloring books but not the pencil sharpener.
- Cozy season fans who want mugs, quilts and Christmas scenes from November to January.
FAQ
Are there coloring pages inside Procreate?
No. Procreate is a drawing app without a coloring library. You import coloring pages as PNG, JPG or PDF files, like the sets in this list, and color them on layers.
Is Procreate easy for beginners?
For coloring, yes. You need four things: Import, a new layer, the Reference setting and Color Drop. Thick bold and easy pages, like the storefronts set, are the friendliest way to learn them.
Do I need an Apple Pencil to color in Procreate?
Not for filling shapes: Color Drop works with a finger. An Apple Pencil helps with small details, shading and texture brushes.
Can I color these pages in GoodNotes?
You can import a PNG or PDF into GoodNotes and color with the pen and highlighter, but there are no layers or fill tool, so it’s slower. Several of these sets name GoodNotes as an option; Procreate is the more comfortable choice.
Where can I find transparent coloring pages for Procreate?
Look for "transparent background" in the file list. In this roundup, the Cozy Christmas book comes with transparent PNGs. Any page with a white background works the same way once you set its layer to Multiply.
Can coloring help with stress or anxiety?
Many people find coloring calming, and a slow, screen-light routine can make evenings feel softer. It isn’t a treatment, though. If stress, low mood or anxiety stay with you for weeks or get in the way of daily life, talk to a doctor or a licensed mental health professional.
Can I sell or share my colored pages?
Sharing a finished page on social media is usually fine for personal use, but selling depends on each designer’s license. Check the license on the product page, and never share the original line art files.
Final Thoughts
A cozy evening on the iPad doesn’t need a new app, only a few good Procreate coloring pages and twenty quiet minutes. Keep one easy set for tired nights, one detailed set for weekends and one holiday book for December, and you’ll always have a page ready after closing your planner. For more ways to use Procreate, see my Procreate brushes for planners and color palettes, or browse all how-to guides.
If you would rather draw your own outlines before coloring, compare these Procreate sketch brushes for the initial drawing stage. For a separate floral drawing project after coloring, compare these Procreate flower brushes instead of starting with another outline page.
