Poll Adult Coloring Books

I have one or two but rarely use them. However, I do collage art and find it very fulfilling.

I have one. Tried it, enjoyed it for a short period of time but now I'm back at drawing, doodling and coloring my own stuff :)

I have 2 but can't relax enough to color. I start one then I get very critical of how I am coloring-i end up scribbling all over or ripping it up.

Maybe "Wreck this journal" by Keri Smith is something you'd enjoy ;)

Yes, I would get frustrated coloring in a coloring book. I wanted something that has more expressive freedom and collage for me works but that journal might be a good idea. I want to be able to do whatever I want. If i wanna tear piece glue them together and draw over it I can. If I want to be meticulous I can. Many choices.

prisma colors and gel pens are easier to use than other brands.

Gel pens! Good idea. Id think ultra fine sharpies would be good as they are like pens.

Yes, I have a few and just started using them since I've been off work. They do help me relax. I'll take anything right now. I got the colored pencils and they work great. Not that I'm going to showcase my artwork or anything ;)

I only have one right now, but I think it is going to turn into a collection so that's the option I picked. I think it is very relaxing. I have been incorporating pieces of them into my journal. I have been using them to practice new techniques, and I like that there isn't as big of a commitment as there would be if I did a project completely from scratch. I've been using them to get used to using brush pens.

@Nessa7 I received a gift from a friend not long ago...It was an Adult Coloring Journal. There are coloring pages as well as notebook pages. I thought, "what a great idea someone had."

 

[Nessa7]

@trying2movefwd I'll have to look into that. I'd like to do more artistic things in my journal, but my concerns about having things bleed onto other pages always gets me too paranoid.

Yes, mainly mandalas. I go through a lot of art supplies.

I have one, but if I start a picture I have to finish it all the way before I will allow myself to do something else and coloring for hours is not enjoyable. When my hand was broken I stopped coloring for obvious reasons, and now I know if I started a picture, by the time I finished it my hand would be in pain. (Would be self harm.)

My wife loves these. Maybe my wife and I should get a pile from the drug store
