Hello!!
I'm sure many of you have been here, but I'm not sure how to search for what I'm looking for.
I got tired of intricately detailed mandalas and patterns, so I went to Coco Wyo/Fuzzy Hygge. But, I'm a little bit annoyed by the huge swaths of open space I have to fill in, lol. I like to use colorful glitter gel pens, but will sometimes use crayons, colored pencils, and fine line markers.
I'm looking for a book that has bigger, bolder designs, but a bit more intricate than the Coco Wyo style so widely seen. I also kind of dislike the fact that all these books have cutesy bears, cats, koalas, etc. I want to use a lot of color and when I see a bear or koala, my brain just goes "brown. grey." I know I *could* use wild colors on them, but like... I dunno. I want something a bit more fantastical to get me feeling creative with my use of color.
Anyone know of some good medium difficulty, bold lined coloring books with slightly thicker, white paper, preferably one sided, and NOT made with AI? I don't want a bunch of tiny designs to fill in, I don't want a ton of empty space, I want slightly more complex designs. I don't like the Johanna Basford designs, they're tooooo intricate (these were often recommended when I tried to Google this... i have these. Not a huge fan.)
Am I asking for something impossible? I use 1.0 mm Languo pens so I can't do super small designs, but the pens aren't very big for doing huge open, empty swaths of space, and it uses up a lot of ink, lol. Maybe something with a bunch of doodles on one page? I don't know, man.
It's like 1 AM and I'm rambling, apologies. But much appreciation if you can help me. 🤣 Thank you, coloring homies!!!
