Anacybele Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) I mean like, grabbing a coloring book and some crayons/pencils/whatever and going at it. I know doing this is usually a kid thing, but if you've been into any book stores or retailers that sell books, you might have noticed series of adult coloring books. These are actually a thing now, so adults who still love picking up the crayons and coloring they loved to do as a kid definitely have nothing to be ashamed of. If someone makes fun of you for that, just show them your adult book and watch as they start feeling stupid. lol Heck, I still buy the children's coloring books too, for the reason that they're easier to color and...well, I actually can't stay in the lines too well. I must not have great motor skills or hand-eye coordination or something... ._. Not to mention that there are coloring books for my favorite tv shows and movies (Scooby Doo, Disney, etc.). Another thing, even if adult coloring books didn't exist, coloring is perfectly fine anyway. It's been proven to be therapeutic and a great stress reliever. If you've ever been to a therapist's or counselor's office or other such place and seen crayons and coloring books on the shelves, this is why! My mom has a good friend who loves to color too. Anyone here like it too? Or did you love coloring books as a kid? (oh, but just to warn you, adult coloring books seem to be expensive... The one I bought was $13. o.o) Edited January 31, 2016 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I don't, but there are people at my office who color in coloring books when they have downtime (I read). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nym Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I like to color my own drawing. Since I draw so badly, this look like the drawing in children's book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex95 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I color my own work. That count? I don't remember the last time I drew in a coloring book... or the last time I used crayons. They were probably at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angienessyo Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I do a little coloring here and there http://comicsalliance.com/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-13-comic-book-preview/ http://comicsalliance.com/godzilla-half-century-war-5-preview/ https://pulllist.comixology.com/previews/DEC140480/3/ http://myfavoritecartoons.tumblr.com/post/137270101441/comixology-a-new-chapter-begins-gotham-academy it doesn't exactly relieve stress in my case haha, but I'm really happy to see so many adults starting to pick it up! I do it as a profession and have quite a few fellow colorist friends. So definitely not something just for kids :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricaofRenais Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I just look up coloring pages online of characters I like and print them off. I also really like Dover coloring books, I used to have a "stained glass" one where you could take the pages out of the book and tape them to the window and it would look just like stained glass.

Azz Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I like colouring. What is this 'coloring' you speak of? Joking aside, I like to doodle crappy shit and colour it badly. Or just getting my really old Scooby-Doo colouring book and colour in the stuff I didn't when I was five. Which is really weird, since when I do art in my art class, I use very little colour.

Midori Mage Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I don't really like to color, but my older sister does. My Christmas gift to her was a Harry Potter Coloring book, which I guess she was gonna use whenever she wasn't busy at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentacotus Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Coloring inside the lines was never my thing so I kinda sucked at it lol. My sister definitely got the artistic genes in the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrickzzz Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I enjoy doing it on my drawings, but when i was a kid i used to do it on anything, i have some manga that i regret coloring as a kid lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwlr Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I don't like the feel of paper so physical coloring no, sometimes when I have nothing better to do I'll digitally color something though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
