How long did it take you to make the whole book of designs? Nice post.
Thank you ! I drew the designs over a period of a couple of months (mainly in the evenings when I watched a movie), after that it took me a weeks time to clean the drawings up and vector the designs and fit them to my page format and to set the book up in InDesign.. and then there was the cover design, that took some time too !
Nice! I always thought it would be cool to try to do a book like this. I like mandala work calms me.... and I would like to see what others would color the designs.
I have made quite a few Mandala books, and also large mandalas, you should go for it, make your mandala book , that would be awesome !
Thanks for the inspiration.
You are welcome ... if you need advise on how to ... just hit me up I have published about 200 books and worked with over 150 different artists in the adult coloring category... so I know quite a lot about the subject of publishing adult coloring books
Thanks globaldooflegums. That is so cool! You have inspired me to test out the waters here. To see if my pages are colorable (and if people are interested in my work) I am gonna make up some pages and throw a coloring contest. If it is popular and the entries look like people enjoyed themselves I would strongly consider making my own book.
That is great ... do remember ... clean your drawing before making it for coloring ... and depending on type of drawin vectorizing it might also help ... the better a product you put out ... the better a response you will get ...
This is amazing @globaldoodlegems. Love your colori ng 🙂
Thank you so much ... the book is only 6x6 inches, I like that size for patterns as they don't become too repetative
Ahhh I see that's why it's a mini book. Too repetitive would make me bored too LOL.
I did make a larger edition, where a larger part of the pattern is visible 8,5x8,5 inches for those that like it ( that had to be 2 books of 125 designs as they were too big to put all 250 in one ) I also might midnight editions editions, and I use them on my redbubble as they are so versatile
Yep. I reused my designs for redbubble too.
I have only had a few sales on redbubble though ... it needs a lot of constant promoting, that I just don't have time for ... How are you finding it ?
No success so far because I just have very little time to promote
same here, but I always have it in the back of my head and I do keep adding there ...I guess you just never know ... maybe one day ... it has a great potential .. the products look so cool with the art on them
hello,
Would not be for me but is beautiful
my kids do it also
greetings
Thank you very much ... coloring is not for all ... I prefer coloring my own drawings ... luckily a lot of people like to color ( hence the books) all ages also kids ... I actually find that a lot of kids like the "adult" coloring books more than the kids books, as they have smaller spaces
