Tips for adults working with complex coloring patterns and making their own books.
1. Start off by choosing a simple pattern or design if you haven't done these type of creations before. It can be more frustrating than stress relieving if you make a really bad mistake towards the end of a project.
2. Before printing, take the mandala or whichever pattern you are looking at coloring and load it to your graphics package, such as paintshop or photoshop. Study the image, there may be gaps around the edge you would like to fill in first before sending it to print. Have a look at the black lines - are they too dark for you? Try and establish whether your finished product will look as you want it to, or will those lines be too dark for you and dominate the artwork? Fade them if this is the case before printing.
3. Always use a print preview before printing in ink, because you will only be wasting valuable ink or toner if it isn't scaled correctly for your requirements.
4. This really depends on your level of skill and what kind of art you aim to produce, however, even if you are only looking at gradings of different shades of color at a very granular level (for example light blue straight to dark blue with nothing in between) it is always worth investing in a colored set of pencils which are ordered by color and shade. For best results - get more shades which means more pencils, you can step through them as needed, in the long run its better to have more than less and they are relatively inexpensive. - See more at: www.allfreeadultcoloringbooks.com/coloring_tips_and_books.html#sthash.jaNyJxu6.dpuf
