How to use the Cat Coloring Book...
LOTS and LOTS of beautiful and ornate coloring book pages for hours and hours of relaxing calm and peace. And isn't that what coloring is really about. Turn on some music, sit back, and let your creative juices flow while you turn a page of black and white into the embodiment of your mind's ultimate color scheme!
This is a coloring book devoted to the Cats. Half of our population shares a love of cats in their many and wondrous forms. Whether it's your house cat, the lazy fat cat down the street that steals all of your cat food, or the sleek and elegant jungle cat that we see on television, we love cats. Unlike dogs, cats have a personality that requires a certain amount of patience and effort if you intend to receive any affection. Cats don't just extend us their love, they make us earn it!
We decided to focus not just on images of cats, but beautiful and intricate designs that you can spend hours coloring until they become majestic pieces of artwork, worthy of your wall, Facebook or the Guggenheim Gallery!
This book has been a collaborative effort between artists, designers, and psychologists. This book not only soothes you, but also increases mental stimulation. The pictures and designs may seem random at first glance, but they're anything but. We also added some really cool coloring pages that are just for you to zone out after reading our madness. We think you'll love the designs and create some incredible pieces of art!
Our idea with this project was to both inspire you, and increase neuronal activity and stimulation in a way that activates very unique parts of your mind. There are fields of research suggesting that both children and adults who work with coloring books and designs can effectively raise their IQ.
So have fun, relax, let the markers and pens do what they will, and hang on for an incredible, mind altering ride!We hope to give the designer (you) a very introspective and mind expanding experience.
To help you bring your full art and color to life, we've left the outlines slightly gray instead of harsh black. Your ideas and the beauty you create are more important than the original designs. This is for you!
MARKER NOTE:
If you feel like using markers, we suggest Staedtler Triplus Fineliner marker pens. They're easy to use and are very good when it comes to bleeding issues. We've chosen a paper that we feel offers the best compromise between durability and brightness so that your ideas come to life without being encumbered by the paper. (Ideally, you would use colored pencils or crayons that won't bleed through the paper!)
-Also, place a piece of white paper underneath your current pages to soak up any extra ink! Depending on the markets you choose, there may be a little bleed through. The piece of extra paper will also assist you in leaving just the right amount of color on the current page you're working on.
-PLEASE SHARE your work with us. Simply go to Amazon and leave a review and it will allow you to post your own pictures! We want to see what you've got. And each week we will choose one of the images as our best in class and you'll receive one of our new coloring books absolutely FREE! Just color, Post, and win!
