Christmas Colouring Book

I'm very excited to share this project that I've been working on, on and off, for almost the whole year.
A Christmas Colouring Book!

The book has 30 festive illustrations to colour in, including some drawing prompts and discussion starters. I would say this book is aimed at children but suitable for adults. I know I had fun trying it out.

Like the other books I've produced, I self-published this book using Create Space and it's available on Amazon. The paper is matte so it's perfect for colouring pencils.

I've managed to get the book finished and printed ready for my first Christmas craft fair of the season this Saturday. To appeal to present-buyers I've put together a gift pack which includes the colouring book, a set of colouring pencils and some colour in stickers which are illustrations taken from the book.

Pretty legit I think!

I can't wait to see how they go down at the fair tomorrow!

Colouring Books

I'm sure you're aware that adult colouring is a big thing at the moment, well the trend was apparent in my family's Christmas presents. Here's our family of colouring books we gave each other.

Mine's the anatomy book in the middle. My sister bought it for me from a charity shop, which I know because I was there when she pulled it from the shelf and I said, "That's cool! Buy it for me."

And it is cool. It's an actual textbook but the illustrations are line drawings that you can colour in. You get to colour and learn at the same time!

 I thought about going for realistic colours but then realised there's a lot of bones in the book and colouring the same whitey yellowy colour would get boring. So, blue skull? Yaaaas!

Are you into colouring? What's your preferred  medium? I like to use coloured pencils, but my sister is all about the felt tip pens, and when I was younger I was wax crayons all the way.
