Colours!
- 1 minGetting started with my colouring book
I am using more of my time during the summers to listen to podcasts, follow along online courses or re watch movies and series.
To get rid of the habit of “second screening”, where people are on their phones, scrolling through news or social media while watching TV, I decided to pick up other things I can engage myself with.
I tried my hand at embroidery, but quickly noticed that it required far more concentration, and would compete for my focus when I was following a more technical podcast / video.
Instead, I decided to pick up my coloring book I had bought a few years ago in Germany. They claim to contribute to serenity and relaxation on the cover.
The Book :
I took out some pencil colors, and just went right in. There was not much rhyme or reason to the color choice. Except for trying that the 12 colors are more or less equally distributed through the picture.
Took me a couple days, and I think I am happy with the results.
I did find the experience very useful. Helped with my constant need to multi task while also reducing time spent on phone. Hopefully I shall fill in some more. I may eventually get into creating Mandala type designs from scratch, but for now, I shall stick to colouring in.
Here is the picture :
