A different type of coloring book, "S M Coloring and Shading Books" and "Nature's Patterns and Designs Coloring Books" are grayscale coloring books that can be as challenging or as simple to color as you wish. The pictures are sketch-like and intentionally printed lighter, so that you can color over the gray. (Read below for more details.) Visit our Facebook page "S M Coloring and Shading Books" for examples, ideas, techniques and more. For a more challenging experience, use the gray shading in the picture as a guide to work on shading techniques. We like to color over or outline the darker areas with one or a few shades of a color, then color the lighter areas with a contrasting or lighter shade. For a simple coloring experience just color the picture, the gray may show through depending on what you are coloring with and your technique, this will give some depth to the picture. You can always outline in black if you prefer that look. Do you collect seashells? Do you like the different patterns and shapes? Nature's Patterns and Designs Coloring Books, Volume 11: More Shells , contains 30 more pictures of shells to color. (Check out Volume 7: Shells and More.) Some of the pictures are close up for more detail, others are of numerous shells. Nature provides some interesting patterns and designs, why not color them? Nature's Patterns and Designs Coloring Books are a bit more challenging then other coloring books, the pictures are taken right from nature including rocks, leaves, shells, animals, wood and more. Color the interesting patterns and designs how ever you want, abstract or realistic. Each book contains 30 pictures and the name of each so if you wish, you can research the right colors to get you started. Pull out your pastel pencils, colored pencils, crayons, markers or whatever you like and start coloring. (Some techniques may bleed through the paper so put extra paper in between if needed.) The pages are one-sided to enable you to take a picture out if needed for technique, framing, or a gift and not miss out on coloring the other side or have it bleed through.
