Do you like adult coloring?

I wanted to share some of my favorite adult coloring photos I have colored....just for fun. Not sure how many know about this fun and relaxing hobby. It's coloring, but for adults (no, not dirty...just photos with a lot more detail than in kids coloring books). I have many adult coloring books, and love using sharpies to color in them. Now there are even adult coloring apps you can download on your phone. This photo is one I colored in one of those apps....called ColorWolf. - So what do you all think of this hobby (if you want to call it that)?

Wow. This is fascinating. I would love to do as well. Reconnecting with our inner child.

Yes, that is so true...and if you don't want to go all out and spend the money on the books and something to color with; the apps are always free!

I have failed to reach this level of art unfortunately. You have done a marvelous job with this art.

That's okay, and it's just coloring in an app.

I have several adult coloring books and colored pencils. I also like children's books and regular crayons. It's relaxing and soothing.

That's good that you have them though for if you want to/have time to color in them though. I understand the not having time though...was easier to find time before my son started school.

Yes, I do like adult coloring but I only do it on apps. My app is colorfy. I find it therapeutic and entertaining. I am yet to buy real adult coloring books and pens.

@MommyOfEli2013 I love them. The pictures are mostly cute critters, leaves, things like that in the book I am doing now.

My honest answer: Each to their own. I would never do this. If I feel like painting, I will paint freely and not fill in pre-made patterns.

Well some, like me, do better with this than actually painting. But good point; to each their own. Painting freely is nice as well.

I used to see it in our mall. It was indeed a good business but it just vanished, i find it very relaxing. If you want to start a business, maybe this is a good idea,

@MommyOfEli2013 yes, there are so many stressed adults and teenagers. Coloring books are not just for them. They are for everyone. You can sell them online. A profitable business indeed.

@Janet357 I definitely agree, that's one reason I love them and have so many! Well I may look into seeing about making one and see how that goes!

That's cool that you used to see it in your mall. I never saw it in a mall! So do you mean make my own coloring books? I think it would be really fun to turn my art designs into coloring books!

My wife loves "adult coloring" I can be fishing on the boat, and she is relaxing coloring! It makes for a peaceful day!
