I can see how perfectionism could make it feel more daunting than enjoyable. Gotta have multiple tools in that box...it's taken me awhile to be okay with my imperfections when doing crafts, can relate to what you're saying. I've began seeing the "mistakes" as a part of my personality since I'm just as quirky and far from perfect.
 
Yeah, I bought 2 and they are awesone. Very detailed which keeps my attention. Ive been using colored pencil but I think sharpie would be good on it. Ive got fine print for the small areas.

Im an artist and not used to laying flat color. I usually put shade, shadow, & light to kid's coloring books. But it does keep my attention and Im hoping that it may get me back into my art. I used to sit in a place and draw people before i was terrified they'd hurt me so im hoping to get back there.

But yeah, I had read about adult coloring books all over the site but never thought it would work as well as it does. Im thinking of bringing one to work as I always have to keep my hands busy. Im getting tired of picking the lock I have over and over on a call; now that I can do it in a few seconds. So it would be great at work.
