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 😄

First Christmas Colouring page this year! (Sorry the edges blurred a little) Also there is a lot of silver pencil which doesn't sparkle so well under the camera 😛

I wanted to share my first two pages for this year! Heart The blue tinted one I started last year and finished new years day, it took about 3-4 days for me to do, but I wasn't colouring straight lol

The 2019 one is my title page for my display book! (Yep I photocopy and store in display books! - I actually find it really difficult to colour in the actual books, mainly because each book is different and I like using a mix of pencils through to permanent markers which bleed through the page!)

Colouring in one of my go to's for self-care. And I thought I would upload my recent works. I recently got these two books in the post that I pre-ordered months ago - and I'm just in love with these artists

Love those @Bee!

I'm planning to do a bit of colouring this afternoon 🙂

I've recently found out about spirographs, which enable you to draw your own mandalas to colour in. You can buy them cheaply (they're available in $2 shops) and they seem like an additional way to bring creativity into colouring!

@MB95😄 woooo hooo Colouring for everyone!!!

 

Thank you! Here is one I finished tonight. I started this Wednesday when things were feeling really hard. I knew I needed to colour but didn't want to mess the owl I was working on, so printed this one. And just let the colours reflect my emotions/mood.

@letitgo OMG I had spirographs when I was younger! I had a mini set in a little cary box which had the circle thing on the top! And I remember when I went to questacon in year 5 they had one that had a pen on a strong and it went around drew one - it was soooo cool! I wonder if I still have the drawing it made... I think I may still have the spirograph set somewhere 😛 Although I do recall seeing a HUGE one for chalk at the reject shop a couple of months back that you had to put together! I was so tempted to get it, but didn't lol

How did you go with your colouring?

I've done a couple more pages since those above. But alas I've shared them on facebook so thus can't share here.
