My continuing craze of adult colouring...

Is anyone else still enjoying it?

After seeing it brought up in here last August and starting out with a cheap book and 50 felt tips, I now have 20+ books, over 150 pencils and close to 200 pens... though I bought Imagimorphia yesterday - Kerby Rosanes who also designed Animorphia - and I LOVE it already.

I've seen Anne Stokes' work, that must be really rewarding to work on

I prefer Enchanted Forest to SG but that's personal preference.

My own little world

I love it.

I have a load of geometric ones, heart ones and a tattoo inspired colouring book.

It helps to destress me. Before I know 2 hours has passed

I think I remember the Scrooge book as I think it was really popular in a few colouring groups on FB

I have a couple of copies of Relax With Art.

I haven't got that one yet, have you got his first book?

Some of his pictures are available as large prints you can colour in, but none of the ones that have been in his books.

I've probably got almost as many books as you but I don't dare count the number of pens and pencils I've got

I still love colouring, I totally zone out

Yeah, I have Animorphia but Imagimorphia is on another level!

I actually counted all my bits up earlier... 24 books - including all three of Johanna Basford's books and the first two Millie Marotta's - a set of 72 Marco Raffine pencils, 36 WHSmith pencils, 50 Wilkinson pencils, 12 metallic pencils. 150 felt tips, around 100 fine liners/gels/ballpoints, 28 Sharpies and 20 Faber-Castell markers which are currently my favourites. Treasure trove.

Faber-Castell are my favourites, I use their pens, pencils and pastels for other things too.

Before Animorphia there was Doodle Invasion, his first book, it's good but not as good as Animorphia. Can't wait to get Imagimorphia though.

I only picked up the pens a couple of weeks ago - whenever I use pencils I feel the urge to shade and I'm too lazy ATM - for 6.99 in WHSmiths and I love them! I find that they give as good coverage as Sharpies but those bleed like mad.

I've seen some pictures from Doodle Invasion but it's never appealed really, and I like Animorphia but I found that it got a bit samey after a while. I couldn't work straight through it, like I did with Enchanted Forest by Johanna Basford. I definitely definitely suggest Imagimorphia though, it's got a really brilliant variety of pictures in there and there's only one picture where you HAVE to complete the images. And I like how he shades the images so it doesn't need shading

I love doing my own shading though and I hate the books that have already got bits in gold or coloured patches. I bought Alice's Nightmares in Wonderland, it's a fantasic book but so much of it is already shaded to the point that I wouldn't be able to do much other than just plain colour so I've kept it as it is because it's the story book as well.

I love Kerby Rosanes though, I've got a board on Pinterest of his work so I can print them off but you can buy large prints on his website.
