AColoring books for adults are not an absolute novelty as such. However, the real trend only really started when the “queen of coloring pictures” Johanna Basford published the book "My secret garden ” in 2013. The mixture of mandala, fantasy and nature hit number one on the bestseller list in both America and the UK. People realized that colouring books for adults are very suitable for relaxation and provide an adequate balance to stressful everyday life.

Since then, there have been many books making it easier to get started:

 

Color by numbers

The pictures are labeled with numbers, with each number representing a specific color.
They are reminiscent of the drawings from childhood, but are equipped with more difficult motifs for adults.
For example, you can paint the most famous works of art in history and also become a »great« artist.

 

Dot to dot

These coloring books follow a similar pattern. The only difference is that the entire outline consists of numbers that first have to be connected.
Only then does the actual motif become visible and can be colored in.

 

Mandalas

These are particularly suitable for beginners. One advantage of mandalas: the more colorful, the better.
Drawing enthusiasts can really go wild here.

 

The agony of choic

The question of the right pencil

Colored pencils, felt-tip pens or watercolors can be used to color in coloring books. However, colored pencils are particularly suitable for coloring the pictures. Not only can they be used to add subtle accents, but you can also change the intensity of the colors by applying different amounts of pressure to the pencil..

With water-soluble pencils, it is even possible to smudge the colors, allowing for soft shading and making the pictures look more vivid.
Felt-tip pens, on the other hand, have a higher color intensity, allowing users to highlight parts of the image as eye-catchers.
A combination of both types of pen is ideal for bringing the pictures to life.
