Not all coloring books are created equal. You don’t want something that looks like a kid’s cartoon, unless that’s your vibe. You want detail, but not so much that you need a magnifying glass and a therapist.
Look for thick paper. Seriously. There’s nothing worse than your beautiful gel pen bleeding through to color a unicorn on the next page. Criminal.
The "Patterns" People vs. The "Nature" People
There’s a huge divide here, and you need to pick your tribe. Are you a mandala person? All those repeating circles and petals? That’s for when you want your brain to go completely numb, like watching a lava lamp.
Or are you a wildflower and forest creature person? You want to color a fox in a sweater or a mushroom with a tiny door. That’s for when you need a little story, a little fantasy escape from your 9-to-5.
