I love it and have been doing mental masturbation for years.

I've started on the colouring in book I was given as a birthday present.

Staying in the lines helps you focus on that and not worry about all the other things going on in your life.

I want one! I haven't seen one of those for years. Please pop back to the early 1980s and get me one. Thank you.

I have one. It's something I'm trying to help me clear my head and unwind.

It is quite relaxing until the cats decide to "help", or decide they want the attention I'm paying to the book.

I can sit and draw/colour/paint for hours. I find it really therapeutic.

My mental masturbation involves sliding a cotton bud in and out of my ear.

OP, I've also got a pixel book. It's stupidly expensive but you stick blocks (pixels) onto a grid to make pictures.

or the black pictures that youve got to scrape away the surface to reveal a silver/gold/bronze picture

Pencils? Yeah, cool.

Felt tips? The only ones that I've used that can produce a decent job are hideously expensive (and you need to colour in long, even strokes.

The pictures i colour in are really detailed so a normal width felt pen would look messy..

ive since opted to fill the image with 'mark making' or doodles.. in bright colours it looks mint

It's a pixel sticker book thing. You stick the coloured blocks onto the pictures.

You can get a really good choice of colouring books for grown ups.

My daughter(age 18) and I enjoy a bit of colouring in every so often - we use coloured pencils.

The only kind of art I'm really any good at
