adult coloring books

I just started getting back into the adult coloring books. I had one a few years ago and threw it out. Then when i was in the hospital i started up again and it was relaxing. I have one here at the motel and started out doing one a day and now I'm up to doing 2 pictures a day. It keeps me busy for a little bit while i'm in my room.

I like those too unless my OCD is really bad then I can't stop checking what I've coloured 🙈🙈🙈 they are relaxing tho almost to the point if meditation after a while I think. I try to use as many bright colours as possible 👍

I find adult colouring so stressful 😱😂

I’ve never understood how it is relaxing! Really glad you’ve found something to help you relax though. Do you use pens or pencils? Fineliner pens are really good for the ones with tiny sections!

i use colored pencils. I do try and find ones that are not so intracit to color in. THe one i have is from crayola that i found in staples. THey had one with skulls, a graffiti one and i'm not sure what the other one was.
