Adult Colouring Books

An adult colouring book is basically a normal colouring book that children use, but with more intricate and harder designs to colour in! I know a lot of you aren't technically 'adults' but does anyone have any?

We sell them at work for £1.99 which is pretty cheap for around 120 pages to colour, and I have 2 of them and a mini mandala one I got from The Works, and one my sister bought me for Christmas, but I've misplaced that one. I find them very relaxing and originally I didn't see the point in them, but some of them look really nice when they're finished!

What are your views on them and would you ever be tempted to buy any?

are there terms and conditions before i buy one
do i need proof of age

is there a monthly subscription

I have two and a calendar (so I have a new one every day)!
It sounds stupid, but it's really relaxing just to sit down and colour in, only focusing on the drawing.
After a stressfull day it's the perfect thing to do.

I was bought a James Franco colouring book for my birthday this year, beat that

I bought my mum a Jeremy Corbyn colouring book for christmas (cos she's obsessed yh)

Personally not my thing but I can see why people use them when theyre stressed etc

Thay are honestly so good, i just do them when im feeling a bit stressed or anxious and i do them for hours on end, soo fun!

i never knew it was such a big thing, i love doodling and just colouring randomly, think ill have to buy myself one tho and have some fun. i remember my sister was always using my nephews colouring books to colour in, so would be a nice gift for her

I have two and like them but haven't done any colouring in them for ages. They're really good tho and would recommend to any1

I've got one, but I haven't done anything on it for ages. They're quite relaxing if you can find time to do it. :P

No, seems like a childrens kinda thing.

colouring is probably my least favourite part of drawing haha.. i did buy a few for my mum for mother's day, they were like $11.99 each though u.u;

It's better and more relaxing to paint our own drawings

A friend of mine is obsessed with them. She uses it to relax and keeps trying to get me to buy one... I would if I had the time and patience to colour.

Yeah my boyfriend loves Batman so I suggested buying the Batman one they have, but he doesn't have the patience to do it either! I don't want to have a lot of them, but I have hinted that I'm fine with people buying me the colouring books for my birthday, just not colouring pencils as I have far too many.

do they do adult colour by numbers

I used to do buildings ones (adult) when I was like 12. Used to draw my own town plans when I was like 10 and younger too haha.

Now I read planning permission applications... :P

According to Amazon they actually do ;).

You might enjoy the app Colorfy or whatever it's called, you only need to tap a place and it'll colour it in whatever colour you pick - some of them even pick the colour for you. I don't like those ones though, takes the fun out of it a bit.

Just adding to this, I have now gained 2 more adult colouring books, one was on sale and it was my birthday so my boyfriend said "Anything you want, I'll get it." so I got another one! He also bought me a funny one for my birthday where you get to colour in swear words, even though I don't swear really, I thought it was hilarious - apparently it was that or a Harry Potter one, I prefer the one he got me as I'm not overly into Harry Potter.

Yeah, I've had one since Christmas and haven't even finished a page yet. I end up getting bored and giving up :( I think I need a less complicated one lol :')
