Faber Castell Polychromos colored pencils perfect for adult coloring books

Many addicted colorists like to have their coloring books handy wherever they go and the easiest way to do that is to have at least a couple of the coloring postcard mini books. Several of your favorite artists and illustrators create smaller versions of their favorite designs in these postcard-sized books. The paper is also sturdier so they stay nice if you tuck them into your bag, backpack or purse. With coloring postcards, you can use markers that might leak through on your coloring books and watercolors. They are also the perfect size for stocking stuffers and gift exchanges!

Originally Published in Sweden as “Vinterdrömmar” is my favorite! Hanna Karlzon’s images in this postcard collection aren’t taken from a regular-sized coloring book but were specifically drawn as postcards so the size of the images is a really nice size to color.

Johanna Basford Coloring Postcards

Johanna has all four of her coloring books available in the postcard size. I find the best supplies to use on Johanna’s cards are the Staedtler Fine Liners or Gel Pens. Her detail is so delicate that it may be hard to get into the tiny spaces with your colored pencils. Markers and Gel Pens are easier for on the go coloring anyway as you don’t have to carry a sharpener and eraser.

millie marotta curious creatures coloring book

Millie Marotta is one of the “must buy” illustrators if you are a dedicated coloring book addicted colorist.

Her images are quite different and distinct from other illustrators, you will recognize her books in an instant once you color in one. Many that are new to coloring see all the signature Millie Marotta tiny spaces and think they need to color each one individually. I chose to see those tiny lines as detail behind my shading and highlighting with colored pencils. Just get creative and give her books a try, you will be a fan in no time.

Reviewers have things like this to say about Millie’s second coloring book:

“A colouring book filled with art so beautiful and intricate, you’ll be hesitant to colour it in, even though your own shading only serves to enhance these amazing illustrations.”—Buzzfeed.com

“In her books, you’ll find whimsical images of idiosyncratic animals, flowers in bloom, and sophisticated patterns at play. Who doesn’t love the idea of immersing oneself into a fantastical world of monochromatic illustrations and bringing them to (colorful) life?” —MarthaStewart.com

“Coloring can be weirdly calming, even for grown-ups. “Animal Kingdom” is a coloring book for adults, filled with stunning, intricate illustrations of various fauna and foliage that’ll ensure hours of relaxation.” —RealSimple.com

Reviewers have things like this to say about Millie’s second coloring book:

“In her books, you’ll find whimsical images of idiosyncratic animals, flowers in bloom, and sophisticated patterns at play. Who doesn’t love the idea of immersing oneself into a fantastical world of monochromatic illustrations and bringing them to (colorful) life?” —MarthaStewart.com

Wild Savannah – A Coloring Book Adventure 2016

wild savannah by millie marotta

Wild Savannah was released in 2016 and it’s my favorite of the three, with lots of big cats, endangered animals and flora and fauna of the Savannah.

Color by Number Animal Coloring Books for Adults

Trianimals Color Me Cat

60 cat designs are made up of hundreds of triangles that, when filled in, transform a flat illustration or 2D piece of work into a 3D image. Each page has a different breed of cat from the ordinary to the rare. The color keys on each page allow you to use either traditional colors or bright non-realistic colors for a pop art look. Some of the cats have quite tiny spaces to color while other’s are a bit larger. This reminds me of those picture puzzles in crossword books where you didn’t know how the picture would turn out until the end.

Which Adult Coloring Books should you pre-order so you get them first

The thing to know about pre-ordering books on Amazon is that it always works out best for you the customer. You are guaranteed to get whatever the lowest price that was offered during the time of your hold on that book. So if the price goes way up a few weeks before the launch, you are still charged that lower price. You also always have an opportunity to cancel the order before it ships by visiting your orders page.
