I Tested an Anxiety Relief Coloring Book *yikes*

Ойын-сауық

I tested an anxiety relief coloring book to see if it was helpful for relaxation. Will it pass the test? Watch until the end to find out! I used Prismacolor pencils and a coloring book that I cannot link in this video description. Why? Oh, the ending says it all... haha. Yikes.

    Hey everyone! I found the book on Amazon under a different listing. This book is slightly different, as it is spiral-bound. amzn.to/3VHrCug After further examination, I’ve learned the book I used in the video is self-published book through Amazon. That’s why the address is in the back. Anywayyyyy. Just wanted to post this here for anyone who wanted a link to the coloring book!

    I think I found the one you have, but with a different cover, and one of the reviews says: "BUT be aware that the content in this book is the same page by page from the other anxiety relief Coloring Book from the same publisher WITH DIFFERENT COVER. It looks different and they offer them as book 2 of 3 but they are not. I thought it was a printing mistake but shadily only the first page has a different draw so I must assume it was deliberately printed as presented." 😑 It's listed on amazon as "Anxiety Relief Coloring Book for Adults: Mindfulness and anti-stress Coloring To Soothe Anxiety" and it's by Andrew Kane. Price is $6.99. If you click on author's name it shows the one you have too, but it says it's out of print.

    I get the frustration there with the art not being double checked. They charge enough for those coloring books, so there's no excuse why there are so many mistakes. I'm a perfectionist too and this kind of corporatized thing annoys me. The person who did the line work was probably rushed and underpaid.

    The problem with adult coloring books for me is all the TINY areas you gotta fill in. That stresses me out. I want the satisfaction of staying in the lines, so give me some easy medium sizes areas, cuz I don't want huge areas either. Also, I want there to be coloring books for artists. Basically just a book of simple line drawings printed in a light gray ink so you can ink line art any way you want before coloring.

    For me, coloring in books with lots of details gives me more anxiety. When I want to relax I usually color in kids coloring books or color by number books so I don't have to think too much or worry about picking the perfect colors or shading. I just want to get my mind off things so I color silly little things while listening to music, a podcast, or audio book. It's a good way to escape because I have really bad anxiety and a lot of stress on me.

    The date and location on the back page is the day it was printed and the place of printing. Amazon let's small business coloring book sellers decide if they want to have their books printed by Amazon themselves. It saves the artist from needing to go through the trouble of printing actual books, and Amazon gets more product listing and more sales. I think it's great to give individuals a chance to self publish who would not have been able to otherwise. The downside is lack of oversight in product. Sometimes you get stuff that is subpar quality, repetitive, or pixellated.

    I don't have that coloring book, but the simple fact is that the book may not be the one for you. The nice thing about adult coloring books is that many of them are designed to not look perfect, and that you're allowed to make "mistakes," but still have the end result be super cool looking. That's the anxiety relieving part. One can also get creative to "fix" the mistakes if they choose to do so, and those extra pages could be practice for that.

    Two things: firstly, I have serious coloured pencil envy right now. I've had my 72 set of Prismacolors for a few years now and they really are my favourite pencils. Unfortunately some are getting super tiny now! I would love to be able to afford that gorgeous full set that you have, it's a dream art supply for me. 😂💜 Secondly, there are a bunch of those types of books available online and they're pretty much all the same. They're full of boring, generic, often repetitive images even a toddler would get bored of (more often than not given a "zentangle" style makeover to make them seem more adult directed and play into the self-care market which gets bigger and more lucrative by the day). If they're not just generic rubbish the images have often been stolen and slightly adapted/edited/zoomed/cropped etc or just put in as they are without the knowledge and/or consent of the actual artists. They are usually printed on cheap paper such as printer/copier paper which isn't very good for people who do want to put a lot of effort or details into their colouring as it is thin and has no texture whatsoever to help layer and blend coloured pencils. It will not hold up to any kind of added water etc so that rules out everything but pencils as pens will bleed through the pages very easily and markers will eat through the thin paper in seconds. I tend to swerve away from books like this (not only because their content is dull and not my taste at all but also because of the risks taken to artists I love and for the quality issues I mentioned before) by looking at the listing itself. If it has no artist credited on the front that can (but not always) be a red flag as these tend to signify a compilation of stock/generated images rather than the work of an actual artist. Also if the image of the back cover shows 2 or 3 of the pages they will often be the best pages in there and the rest will be much lower quality/a completely different style from the ones that draw you into wanting to buy. Check out the reviews and specifically ones with photos attached. These can give you a better idea of what is inside the book, the quality of the images and the paper and what can be achieved in that specific book (eg if someone is able to make the pages look full of depth and details vs someone who just block colours with a cheap set of felt tip pens) - these too will usually be the more in-depth and honest reviews as they're given by those who love colouring as adults and haven't just bought the cheapest one they can find to keep their kids quiet for a bit. Lastly I would suggest that you always look on KZread etc and find a 'flip-through' or review video to watch and check out adult colouring groups on Facebook etc to get opinions from people who actually enjoy the hobby and want to get quality books instead of cheap, mass-produced rubbish. Hope this helps anyone who wants to start this wonderful hobby but doesn't want to be ripped off and stressed out by cheap and nasty books like these! Oh, and just one more thing - a colouring book doesn't need to say "anti-anxiety" or "stress relieving" etc on it for it to be so. The hobby is a fantastic way to relax, de-stress and take time for yourself while creating something beautiful all on its own, regardless of what book/page/image you choose or how you choose to colour it. Don't waste your money on books claiming to be specifically for mental health and self-care because it's the colouring itself that gives you those benefits, not the lines and shapes on the page you choose to colour.

    I'm working on my own patterned animal colouring book and to have done the work I already have, seeing the mistakes and repetition in this book actually upsets me. That people spend that much on something that crappily made, yet will likely never even get to see the one I make if I ever get it finished, is kinda sad for people like me who try as hard as I am to make a genuinely good product, and but people get a book like that instead entirely because it's more easily available, and lies about quality. I don't mean to say people should feel bad for me, I'm more pointing a light at people who make quality products and are looked over because people prioritize (understandably of course) availability. My wish is that availability and quality could be the same thing. People who sell things should do their own quality control.

    Most people who buy adult colouring books much prefer artist's books rather than buy the first badly made book they come across. Artist's books are just as easily available on amazon, and many colouring book artists self publish on amazon because it's the easiest, cheapest option. You might want to do a bit more research into this before making assumptions.

Repeating pages, some even stealing the motives from other coloring book artists and have to be reported/removed, bad quality of lines or printing and of course mistakes. I have spotted a few minor mistakes in some of my coloring books that i simply can fix with a black fineliner :D But to be fair mistakes like the ones you had to face in this book would have drove me nuts - no way i would have kept coloring. 100% on your side with this, just very lazy and/or bad quality control.

I've started putting a piece of cardstock behind the page I color because the pressure from the pencils make whatever ink they use now to transfer the images on the pages together. They sure don't make them like they used to. When I was a kid, I never had that transfer problem and I pressed hard with those crayons. I think I started boticing it around the late 1990's.

    The real con is that by stating the product is stress reducing it makes you think that it is the actual item itself doing the stress relieving, for example in this case that this particular book will lower your anxiety while you colour it whereas the millions of other colouring books in the world won't do the same. It tricks your brain into thinking that you specifically need *that* book when really it's the colouring/creative process that actually aids your mental health and wellbeing, that lowers stress/anxiety and is used by many as a form of self care or to help with other mental health issues, pain management, to give structure/purpose/aims to their days and to provide a creative outlet for what they are feeling. What is actually on the page you're colouring doesn't matter in any other way than whether you enjoy colouring it. I really like alternative style art/gothic images/stuff from horror movies or that are darker fantasy style images but my friend doesn't like those books at all, preferring to colour cute animals, beautiful flowers, princess style castles and use lots of bright colours and pretty designs. Each of us colours something completely different but we both receive the same mental health benefits from the process, not the images themselves. If I had to colour images such as the ones in Mira's book I would be so bored and depressed in about 5 minutes! 😂

    Colouring books like this are usually very, very cheaply produced and printed on demand, I think. I have no problem with them existing, as not everyone wants to spend a lot on an expensive book with huge amounts of detail and thick paper - sometimes it's just about filling in shapes with colour for fun and throwing the book into the recycling when it's done. I usually like really intricate colouring books like Hanna Karlzon and Johanna Basford and I put lots of effort into making them look as good as I can, but there's definitely also a place in my life for just colouring in a bold pattern with markers while I watch TV or listen to an audiobook now and again, and not having to worry if I make a total mess of it. But all that said ... it's not OK for them to have so many mistakes or to duplicate images/parts of images across multiple pages. I had a couple of those Jade Summer colouring books, which are pretty cheap and don't use premium paper and are printed via Lulu I think, but although they're fairly basic I've never found any big mistakes in them.

    There’s a lot of people who produce low content books to sell on Amazon... journals, puzzle books, sudoku, colouring books, etc. It’s usually one person who puts these together, not a publishing company, hence more chances to miss mistakes.

    I'm sure whoever illustrated these coloring pages wasn't paid a fair wage for their work and probably had to get these pieces done at an unreasonable speed-- so either the mistakes were accidents, or they just weren't paid enough to care, and frankly, both are understandable explanations imo

    Enjoyed this video so much - mostly because I often look at a picture and wonder ... what is THIS? I know it must be something in the artist's mind, and I want to color it appropriately, but first I need to figure out what it is, and often have no clue. Hats off to you finding so many mistakes - unintentionally.

    I take the pages out of my books and put them in my scanner and print them out on card stock and it makes coloring a whole lot better to me anyway, and by copying the page, if I want to do the page again in different colors, I can.

    Amazon took a couple of the coloring books I was working on down also. One of them they did a new version with q different name so I kinda get that. The other one though... when I was looking for it again I found another coloring book under the same name but different artist with VERY similar images. I could tell they had used inspiration from one for the other. Now I feel kinda bad I've probably been working on a plagiarized coloring book but I already bought it

    Colouring can be fun and relaxing. I usually only do colouring books when I go somewhere with a small amount of art supplies. Gets out some creativity. It's a shame it has alot.of repeats and mistakes. There.are.some really nice colouring books out there though. At least you saw some cute dogs lol.

    I like how there's another view of the same room, even if perhaps it was just a bigger image that they cropped into two pages. The repeat that's just a zoomed in version of the fireplace is pretty weird though. I would still enjoy using this book, but I definitely wouldn't pay $15 for it!

    I hope in the book it tells you an illustrator. Because a lot of times, they also have books like this, and they just stole artwork from artists and put it together, illigal. Since the book is gone, away from amazon, it really is a bit suspicious.

    My thoughts precisely. Maybe it’s not, but that’s what generally happens when the original copyright holder(s) or their fans report them. It’s a HUGE issue for coloring book artists, sadly, especially those of us who offer freebies, samples, or sell digital downloads on our sites. Sometimes they even have the watermarks from the artist stolen from.

    I’m uniquely talented at finding mistakes. Pattern mistakes, spelling mistakes, continuity mistakes (like in moves- shirt buttons done up and not, or the amount in a drink, etc.). They leap off the page/screen. I saw a number of mistakes as you were flipping, and I thought ‘what, that’s a lot of mistakes…’. This book would make me CRAZY. I often choose colouring book ‘patterns’ because if it’s a repeating floral or something I’m totally fine with that. But when it’s supposed to be right, it would distract me beyond… pardon me, I have to go and colour to de-stress… 😉😃

    I have anxiety and tried the coloring books. They made me feel way worse. I think it was all the tiny decisions you have to make when the picture is so detailed. I found that diamond painting and jigsaw puzzles were way more relaxing where I got to see the picture come together but didn't have to make any decisions.

    I find that alot of coloringbooks have these mistakes that you only see if you are knee-deep coloring in every little detail. I love that the put the black back for the bleading, but it is really lazy to get cropped images. Maybe go deeper about what paper they used, how was the quality. If yoh were to use markers how would the paper react and stuff. I really love coloring and listening to podcasts. I limit my palet as well for the same reasons. I also love coloring flowers because you can use a little crazier colors instead of these muted, natury colors.

    I'm an coloring book illustrator, you spotting them mistakes made me want to go back and see if I've made mistakes like that. I have hand drawn mine. It made me realize that the computer generated illustrations are maybe made too quickly. It takes me months to illustrate a book. I back the zoomed in version, no matter how much it cost, but I would have added something to it, thought.

    Coloring in general gives me anxiety because of my tendencies toward perfection. If I go out of the lines I try to fix it and then it just gets worse. I like doodling and drawing more than coloring a prepared picture. but even more than that I like crafts such as making paper and molding soap. Lots of wiggle room there. Even more than that I get my creativity out through cooking, fashion, and design.

    I’ve been in the art my whole life whether it’s drawing or painting or coloring so when I got anxiety when I was in my late teens eyes started using coloring books the only thing was at that time the only coloring books that were available were like care Bears and Lisa frank because it was looked at is more of a child thing and I will tell people that it was relaxing to me and I helped my anxiety I still got made fun of but then about a decade later all of a sudden the adult coloring books became really popular and all the people that was making fun of me suddenly had coloring books and the one thing that I don’t like about it is a lot of people say that the patterns are theirs but they’re not with you flipping through this book I found at least four pages that are in a book I have here that was made five years ago so my thought is that’s probably why there’s so many mistakes in the world why they stop the patterns because of like a copyright thing or something I don’t know but if you would like I can recommend you to a book that I personally love I don’t remember who it’s by but it’s a kaleidoscope coloring book and it is my favorite hands-down it’s the only kaleidoscope coloring book I’ve ever found and it’s called bags called the kaleidoscope coloring book I am using my mic so I don’t know how well I am my voice has been captured some also in a rush but I did want to say that you did a lovely job and coloring the room 🥳 The color combination is warm and inviting I like it it’s not some thing I would’ve picked and if I would’ve did it it would’ve not looked that good because it would’ve just been a rainbow pattern lol have you heard of the reverse coloring book that’s pretty neat wait a minute I think your channel is the one that showed me that never mind

    Oof, yeah, hard pass especially since all the bandwagon-jumping of so many colouring books being labelled for mindfulness, anxiety relief etc, I find it gross after having such trouble with anxiety for so long, partly cos other diagnoses were missed, only getting welfare benefits if someone else decides I fit their criteria, doing extra work to let go of that extra stress, but anyone can sell something a bit rubbish. That aside, the greens and warm tones you used make a warm, homely picture. I really like that celadon green too.

    so i have anxiety and just looking at this book and all the lines is stressing me out... idk why because i like art and colouring... i wouldn't want to get this, too many lines stress me out a bit. i have lines sometimes blur together for me and just having that happen for me when looking at the pages would make me want to not get this even more. So i think its the extra lines that are doing it for me in reflection.

I found an adult coloring book in a store, and since there was not a big pack of colours, I decided to mix it up a little!
