Adult Coloring Books

[GoldHazel]

I'm not sure if you've ever heard of adult coloring books or if you already have them, but they are very popular. Here are some of my finished and a few unfinished pages I've done in the last year:

Close-up to see details on the eyes, etc.

Not finished yet.

Not finished yet. This one was done in gel pens (some metallic).

Please share your adult coloring book pieces now (@bluejay1919) and everyone else:

Oh, I love them. My Sister and I are addicted to them.
You done a great job. We use the sharpie's also. Just have to put
a page of copier paper under it.

@Hairless Blessing please share, I'd LOVE to see them. When I use something other than colored pencils, I put a thin piece of cardboard under the page I'm working on.

Ohhh those are so awesome @GoldHazel
Nicole and I have bought quite a few adult coloring books over the past year.
They are fun and pass the time, and we brought them on holiday in December for the plane ride.

I love the cat ones especially...cuz you know, I love cats.
Someone needs to make a sphynx specific one! I know i'd buy it! HAH

 

[Toa and Ross]

Wow that's very beautiful! Must be very relaxing. I failed learning how to colour in kindergarten, I still can not colour in between the lines.

@Nicolemorgan thank you. I too have brought them on planes. I colored on the planes and while on vacation. Please share your work (and Nicole's work), I'd love to see it.

@Toa and Ross thank you. It IS VERY relaxing. I'm sure you'd make it come out beautiful if you tried again one day.

These are stunning. Thank you for sharing. I'd love to see anyone else's colouring pages too. I'd colour if I could but gimped hands would make it look like a blind baby got ahold of the crayons and went mental on the page. LOL

@Xandria I too would LOVE others to share their pages. So what if you colored outside of the lines? It's fun and relaxing. That's all adult coloring books are all about.

 

[Xandria]

@GoldHazel -- aww, thanks. Unfortunately my wrists become very painful with any repetitive motion. Even washing my hair or scrubbing eye boogers off the wall causes pain. But thank you. I've considered finding a digital colouring book... hmmm... let me look... There is one app. I've installed it and will give it a go!!

 

[Xandria]

I did one!! Actually, this app is pretty nice. I might have to pay a couple dollars to unlock all the pages -- some look quite beautiful.

Thanks for your support and encouragement, @GoldHazel .

@Xandria I have the Colorfy app, is that what yours is from? Very pretty. See?...You figured out a great way to color and share. Thank you.

 

[Xandria]

@GoldHazel -- the one above is from a desktop coloring app. This one I did this morning in Colorfy:

 

[GoldHazel]

@Xandria beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Xandria]

@GoldHazel -- it was fun. I figured since Max had me trapped, and I'd read all the news I wanted to, I'd colour! While I can't justify +$50 a year for the Colorfy app, I am intrigued by the challenge of using the free "daily palette" in the colouring.

 

[GoldHazel]

@Xandria gee, that's a lot of money for Colorfy (and for a year???)!!!

I didn't pay for mine, so I guess I have very limited pics to color. Well, just think of it another way maybe: If you were able to color in an adult coloring book, you'd be spending a fortune on the best colored pencils and other coloring material. If it's fun and relaxing for you, it might be worth it.

 

[Hairless Blessing]

My Sister and I have paid quite a bit. Many different, pens, markers,
sharpies, books, totes, clipboards. It never ends.
I'll share some pics, when, I remember.

 

[GoldHazel]

@Hairless Blessing I can't wait to see yours.

 

[Xandria]

Another one from this morning.

 

[Hairless Blessing]

@GoldHazel
Here you go.

 

[GoldHazel]

@Hairless Blessing I'm REALLY happy you shared. I love your work and your color choices. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Nicolemorgan]

Oh, beautiful job @Hairless Blessing!!

I love seeing everyone's pictures.
Thanks for sharing.
Hope to see more.
It is interesting how everyone has a different approach to it.
