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 😄

@Bee I love the cat one! Very cool.

 

I love that there's a thread for adult colouring! I have a copy of Secret Garden by Johanna Basford but have not coloured very much. I think I'm put off by how ugly mine turn out Smiley Frustrated. Perhaps I'm more suited to the less intricate Mindfulness colouring books!

@Bee aaaaahhh so pretty! I don't know if I ever posted my octopus... probably not but I should really get back into doing them. I kind of stopped because I got sad that I lost my red pen 😞 Anyways, maybe I'll do some tomorrow.

It's one of my regular self-care activites 🙂

Here are some of my recent ones

@DuidChild @pepperminpeony @Chessca_H @N1ghtW1ng Thank you all! I do love me some colouring it 😄 I'll have to take some more pictures and post some more 😄

 

Peppermintpeony please don't be put off by how they turn out! Sometimes mine look like scribble too, which is what I love about it, because those are the times when I find I needed the exercise the most 😛 I'll have to upload some of my first ones for you, some are messy af lol

 


Remember everyone has their strengths, I personally like a mixture 🙂

Has anyone done any colouring recently?

 

This one I just finished last night or today, I can't remember lol

Excuse the the glare, it's in my display book when I took the photo

Thankyou @Ben-RO, it's a book by Millie Marotta that I bought from kmart a while ago, but they are also at typo currently if anyone reading this is interested! I love it too. That is an excellent idea for mod training! They are great mindfulness tools

@Craycray17 I've got that book as well. You've probably already realised that from my deer picture earlier on in this thread.

I've got so many books! So many pictures have been started, but not finished. Hahaha. I guess that is just how I roll.

Also awesome @Craycray17! So much purple in that one 🙂

Are these from a book? or have you drawn them completely? Where did you get them from? Or what inspired you to creat them? I want to get a stack for our moderator workshop this year 🙂

Thats awesome, I did one of an octopus with tentacles covering the page, and i used a silver pen which added so much depth to it! It looked professional 😉
