Adult colouring books

6e7c6-fox2.png

 

So I have to admit, I'm really digging this adult colouring book phase that's sweeping across the nation. I even have a nifty little up on my phone that lets me colour on the go! Plus, you can download free pictures you can print off as well (like the one above).

 

Not only is it super satisftying to finish an awesome picture (I'm way better at staying in the lines then I use to be, haha), but apparently there's been research to show that colouring in can act as a good method of stress relief which I think is super awesome!

 

Are any of you guys into it at the moment ? It'd be awesome to see a photo of something you coloured in! Or, if you have a favourite blank ones you've saved off the internet it could be awesome if you shared so we could collect some! If you're interested in the books you can pick them up at Kmart (oh, Kmart <3). They're pretty cheap, only like $12 for some I think!

 

Show me all your crafty colouring in 😄

This is a really cool thread! I love adult colouring books! I have a Harry Potter one and a Parisian one, and I'm hoping to add to my collection soon!

That's so cool @lokifish!

 

One of my friends got me a colouring book for Christmas and I'm aiming on waiting until then to start colouring, but I may not last that long, haha

I so want to get the Avatar the Last Airbender and Legend of Korra colouring books. Dark Horse is coming out with adult colouring books and those are two of them. Only ATLA is out now though.

What do you use to colour @lokifish? I'm considering pulling out my textas for mine 😄

I usually use pencils @N1ghtW1ng ðŸ™‚ Have you managed to get your hands on the ATLA book?

@lokifish nice. I haven't got it yet though. Maybe I should just buy it, and then save the rest of my wishlist for after Christmas like I've been planning. 🙂

Thanks @lokifish, I try pencil but it's just so light, I much prefer the darker/bolder (as in texta :P) colours.

Lets bring some life back to this thread. Here's some I've done since posting here. I have way too many to choose from. But here's some favs. I've not got my most recent ones scanned in yet, so this will have to do 🙂

@Ben-RO & @ j95 thank you both! I'm well untruly addicted to them! It's my me time. It's been the one thing that's been helping me ensure I always take time for me 🙂

That bottom one looks fantastic @Bee, did you use watercolours on that? (it looks a bit shiny :P)
 
 
 
 
 
Bee
BeePosted 18-12-2017 08:25 PM
@N1ghtW1ng Yes it is watercolour 🙂 It looks shiny because I took the photo straight after spraying it with water 😛 so it's the light reflecting in the water. I wanted to be messy so I chose watercolour 😛
I have another to upload too that I finished today. I just need to take a photo 🙂

Colourings so far this year! I have 2 others but they're boring 😛

The last two I've used tiny pencils trying to use them up so I can start a new packet of pencils!
