What To Look For When Buying Adult Coloring Books

By Donna Barnes


Many people are trying to find ways to relax and reduce the stress that they feel on a daily basis. One way to do this is through coloring. Adult coloring books have become incredibly popular and can be found in many different stores as well as online. If you think you might want to get in touch with your inner artist and try one, here are a few things to look for when you shop.

While some people love highly detailed images other people do not. You may want to look at examples of each and figure out which you find most appealing. You want to make sure that you will not get bored or frustrated if you are working on a page that has a lot of detail. Some books will offer a mix of both types of images.

You may think that these books only come in one size but this is not true. Some are very large and thick and may even have hard covers. Others are thinner and smaller and may have soft covers that can be bent or folded to fit in a pocket. You need to think about how and where you will color and this will help you pick the best book for your needs.

Shopping for these items is not difficult. You can find many options in department stores. Book stores, art supply stores and big box stores may also have some available for you to look at. Some stores may charge more than others do, so looking around may help you save money if you are still unsure if you will enjoy this new hobby.

Smooth, thick paper will usually make for a better book but it can also increase the price. You want to make sure that you can lay down a nice layer of color when you work and smoother paper will allow you to do so more easily. If you want to make sure that the color of your crayons or markers transfers accurately, make sure you look for a book that has very white pages.

It is also a good idea to choose a book that will lay flat when you open it to a specific page. Some books do not and it can become frustrating to try and color if the pages are always flipping shut. You may be able to get around this by choosing a book with removable pages as you will be able to remove them to work on and to display afterwards.

What you use to color with is as important as the book. Some individuals like to use markers while others prefer colored pencils. If you are working on images that have a lot of fine detail you might want to look for fine markers or pencils since they can be sharpened. You might also want to make sure that if there are images on the back of the pages that the color you add does not bleed through the paper.

Once you have your chosen book you will quickly begin to see just how enjoyable this pastime is. Its no wonder that these books have become such a popular way for people to reduce stress and put the demands of the day behind them.
