Benefits of Adult Coloring Books
Coloring has the ability to calm a restless mind. It allows the brain to switch off from other thoughts by providing some quiet time while shading patterns and shapes. Just looking at a finished layer of colors already indulges the mind into a mesmerizing moment that makes you feel mentally clearer and delighted.

MANDALAS
Mandalas mean “circles” and they are patterns of symmetrical designs. In Sanskrit, they are noted as emblems for prayer, meditation, healing, and art therapy. Mandalas are popular to reduce stress, promote sleep, and ease depression.
Coloring a mandala symbolizes the gates of the cosmos which aids in meditation and reduces anxiety.

ZEN & ANTI-STRESS
Inspired by nature or being completely eccentric, Zen & Anti-Stress drawings are quite different from mandalas in the sense that they are not concentrated on complex points, but rather on consistent, aligned, and evenly-shaped patterns. It is often a drawing of beautiful images, curves, tunnels, hearts, and relaxing styles that carry soothing properties. The harmony of how you balance the colors will reflect your emotions at the moment.

How to Make Realistic Looking Pages
The secret is to create a contrast. Blending colors with a touch of variance will make a difference. For example, a base of fresh green in one detail matched with blue-green next to it will give you two slightly different shades. Another is orange opposite with violet, pink and turquoise all make a wonderful art that is so vivid.
Play it up with a few shades darker than your base colors. Blend, mix, make it subtle, make it strong. You can use overlapping strokes for more artistry. The more contrast and contradiction, the more your drawing will look full of life.
For the best result, think of quality. From your drawing to the pencil to choice of colors to different strokes – everything must be created with passion. The better tools you use the more picturesque the results. You can start with simple crayons or brightly colored pencils.
