I have some of these, I love them but they bring out some kind of OCD in me. I get so frustrated when I color in a wrong bit in a wrong color! ALL those triangles were supposed to be green, but I miss like 1 triangle and accidentally color it blue and for me the whole book is ruined

I get so lost in them though!

I hate this too! Thats why iv started using colored pencils more... even though you cant totally erase them, i can at least make them light enough to color over. xD

I've seen a few online, but been a bit hesitant to buy one. Whats the paper like? Is it thin like kids coloring books, or is it thick enough to use markers like copics on it without disintegrating?

The adult coloring books are usually a heavier paper, not like cardstock heavy, but not thin either. Theyre also usually only one sided, so if your pens do bleed through, you dont have to worry about ruining a picture on the backside. I usually keep a piece of blank paper in each of my books that I use behind whatever picture im coloring in, just in case it bleeds a bit beyond the back side.

These sure have blossomed in popularity lately!

I bought one that focuses on cats about 6 months ago. I haven't colored in it yet.

Here is my problem. I am an artist. Instead of coloring in someone else's art, I feel like I should be doing my own stuff to color. But dang it sound soooooooo fun to color! And I saw some coloring books at Wal-Mart for adults and they look so super fun! Uuuuugh I am so stubborn.

Someone.....please.....talk me in to coloring. Maybe it will cure my artists' block.

You should color, it's a good stress reliever and it can help with art blocks. I've printed my own work just top color it in different mediums to shake things up LOL. It can be fun to experiment!

Saw a huge kiosk brimming with intricate design adult coloring books at Michael's today. Coloring books are certainly trending!

I got two a while ago, Millie Marotta's Tropical Wonderland, and one offbrand(?) kind of thing from WHS called Wild At Heart. I only started the Wild At heart, but I love it so far <3

What does everyone use to color in these. I figured colored pencils would be best to start with for me instead of using markers or gel pens. I didn't want the color to bleed on to the other pages. I started coloring with Crayola Twistable colored pencils but would love to hear recommendations from everyone.

I use Polychromos pencils from Faber Castell, they're amazing.

I've been making my own crayons with the Crayola machine... SO MUCH FUN!

I use coloured pencils as I have a tons. I would love to use markers but I have too few that works, I need to get some more with the next paycheck.

I guess I will stick to colored pencils for now. I might try different things later but I would hate to use markers and then find out that they bledthrough to the next picture.

Princess Lala can you post a picture of the Disney adult coloring books? I was just at Barnes and Noble this weekend and didn't see any.

Beldarna. I have the same book.

It was the first adult coloring book that really grabbed me. In the US it's called Lost Ocean but I think Secret of the Seas is a great name too.

My, the Lost Ocean one seems to have grabbed me too! It's just ... well, I really feel like I should be doing my own art, too. Also I don't know where to even begin with so many empty fields. Of course, if you post more coloured in pages I might change my mind.
