My-oh-my, this is something that when I know existed makes me jumped with joy! Adult Coloring Books, I am not ashamed to confess I am one of those adults that still goes to the stores to get some "more" complicated children coloring book for myself. When this is made available I can't even help myself, I got to have all of them (if it is even possible). Here I am reviewing one by one, which I find interesting and which is just moderate. I have more coming so this is sort of just Part 1.
This one I have here is called "Coloring Book For Grown-Ups : Discovering Your Inner Creative". Initially when I was browsing it, I thought it was pretty amazing because they got like a lot of different motives, shapes and patterns for coloring. After receiving this book (I bought them mainly online from MPH Malaysia) I found out that the ones they put online for browsing are the only interesting ones out of the over 150 pages. There are too many darkened motives like the one I showed above. Plus some of the pages and patterns are just cut short abruptly and it is not even the edge of the page yet. The only thing great about this book is that the pages are quite thick so you could actually use markers and water colors on it. I find the work of this author so-so as of compare to other coloring books I bought. Overall if you ran out of things to color (in which you won't) only consider buying this. I wouldn't get this if I didnt buy it online! *Peace*
The second one here is called the "Secret Garden An Inky Treasure Hunt and Coloring Book" This is a best-seller for a reason. I do not even have to review why I love this, I believe that everyone who shrieked with joy after discovering adult coloring books existed is to go buy this one. It has a lot of carefully thought out motives, patterns and flowers for us to color and be lost in our very own garden. Truly a book worth the wait (I waited for a month for it). The pages are made of good quality thick papers, so I can erase when I color them wrongly and also paint them with magic color, markers, sharpie and water colors. The only thing I find challenging is there are pages that says "Draw here" or "Add in your own" or "Fill in with more" this are the words that makes me go "ah-oh". The reason I love painting and coloring is because I CAN'T draw! Not at all! I can color and paint but drawing? (Hmmm remembering the days when my mom used to do all my drawings for me during my primary and secondary school years.) I certainly can't get my mom to draw them in for me this time! Isn't it! (Or maybe... errr maybe NOT). I will get to drawing "something" in and then I will surely show the damage I've done when I finally gathered the courage to do it. So for those who loves coloring do not let that small details bothers you. We can still color around the pages and not draw them. Anyway this is a book worth buying and "waiting". Go ahead!
So here I am signing off this time because I am going to go into my Secret Garden and do some damage to it. Till then! Happy coloring.
