I'll only do the colouring books if I can go outside the lines.

You can do what you like!

Add extra lines and colour those in!

Loving the shaking of her head after the hand waving.

Where is this from? I'm really loving it. Makes me laugh every time I see her face and that head shaking.

Ages ago I used to do pencil drawings. I think I might get back into it.

You can then colour them in.

Yeah, I imagine there must be some benefits for sure. Even just a way to relax and unwind. And you're right about the creative outlet. I feel like, in a way, adults are supposed to or expected to draw their own lines and colour things in, and you know some people can't draw so perhaps they're put off art completely. There definitely is a certain artistry when it comes to colouring in.

Yes true. I guess most people would like to be able to draw but not many can, at least not very well, so it's still a good gateway into experiencing some creative satisfaction even without the skill.

I say! What a sporting idea, @iJake. I'll be sure to have a spiffing time with this jolly good colouring book.

Enid Blyton? Is that you? I suggest colouring in while enjoying lashings of ginger beer!

I haven't seen any in shops yet, but I'll start looking. I remember years ago seeing a Law and Order: Criminal Intent colouring book. I think you'd need extra red Derwents, KK!

Oh my god. There is a "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" colouring book??? I want it!!

 

[Jam]

Hastings.

Well, there you have it. “Unless you are good at guessing, it is not much use being a detective.”

Clearly, I'm no detective!

 

[Columbo]

Does it have a 'Goren leans over and stares intensely at the suspect.'?

 

[Jam]

Actually, I think that might have been wishful thinking. There is a Law and Order colouring book, though.

And a colouring book for lawyers.

Oh, I have so many intense feelings for Goren. So many. Intense ones.

sorry to butt in ... but there are some great ones on etsy & pinterest also is a great source - but you can loose yourself for hours and travel the world for examples ... what I love are the more intricate geometrical ones (i have a thing for symmetry...) and the knowledge that no two finished products will ever be the same ... some calligraphy designs are great too ...

my latest find

I love colouring in, I like to colour the opposite of what an object should be, just because, I love outlining with textas too. You all have to understand when you have kids, this is the most fun you can have really haha[DOUBLEPOST=1429792742][/DOUBLEPOST]

Don't apologise for butting in, your most very welcome here

That would require my utmost control to stay in lines haha

@SeanE could teach us all a thing or two about colouring. He is the master!

At an airport bookshop discount table I once saw the Joy of Sex Dot-to-Dot book.

I just remembered the design on the front of my diary for uni is actually meant for colouring in, but I haven't bothered to do it. And here I am wishing there were things for me to colour in!

Did you buy it?

 

[Witty Banter]

Did you buy it?

I regret not buying them all as Christmas presents. It was before digital cameras, but now I would love to film fellow passenger reactions as I fastidiously completed it during a flight.
