Adult colouring in books were relaxing blooming well told fibs!!
Talk about the stress of trying to keep in the lines. Started out with fine tipped felt pens then abandoned that and went onto using pencils..
Any of you lot tried them or enjoy colouring in?  |

I love it and have been doing mental masturbation for years.
I've started on the colouring in book I was given as a birthday present.
Staying in the lines helps you focus on that and not worry about all the other things going on in your life.

"How utterly childish... 
I'll stick with my magic paint books if it's all the same to you? "
I want one! I haven't seen one of those for years. Please pop back to the early 1980s and get me one. Thank you.

I have one. It's something I'm trying to help me clear my head and unwind.
It is quite relaxing until the cats decide to "help", or decide they want the attention I'm paying to the book. |

"I can sit and draw/colour/paint for hours. I find it really therapeutic."

makes me think of sequin art and using pins to put them into a polysytrene model
or the black pictures that youve got to scrape away the surface to reveal a silver/gold/bronze picture |

Pencils? Yeah, cool.
Felt tips? The only ones that I've used that can produce a decent job are hideously expensive (and you need to colour in long, even strokes.

The pictures i colour in are really detailed so a normal width felt pen would look messy..
ive since opted to fill the image with 'mark making' or doodles.. in bright colours it looks mint |

It's a pixel sticker book thing. You stick the coloured blocks onto the pictures.

"I haven't tried one but I want one. I used to do it soooo neat when I was a child, I bet I could stay in the lines perfectly now "
lol i dont think it even matters if you dont,, its just setting time aside to engage in something fun that breaks the mundane day to day stuff.
creative and fun |

"I loved it as a kid and have rediscovered it Find it so relaxing.
I would love to be able to draw freehand, but can't even draw a straight line"
did art at GCSE and got an A but it killed my love for art, i hated forced deadlines and my work was rushed  |

You can get a really good choice of colouring books for grown ups.
My daughter(age 18) and I enjoy a bit of colouring in every so often - we use coloured pencils.
The only kind of art I'm really any good at
