WHEN I WAS BUT A WEE LAD I USED TO LOOOOVE TO BUY COLORING BOOKS. MOST KIDS COLOR IN THEIR COLORING BOOKS, BUT NOT ME (i was weird). I USED MINE AS REFERENCE MATERIAL. YES, EVEN AT A YOUNG AGE I WAS ALWAYS COLLECTING REFERENCE FOR THINGS I WAS INTERESTED IN DRAWING. OBSESSIVE MUCH?
I WOULD SCOUT COLORING BOOKS FOR ALL THE CARTOONS I LIKED AND USE THEM TO LEARN TO DRAW THE CHARACTERS. I WOULD SOMETIMES TRACE OVER THE LINES WITH TRACING PAPER AND A PENCIL SO MANY TIMES I WOULD WEAR A HOLE THROUGH THE PAGE! WHENEVER A NEW DISNEY FILM CAME OUT I WOULD GO RIGHT OUT AND SPEND ALL MY MONEY ON COLORING BOOKS SO I COULD SEE A CLEAR LINE DRAWING OF WHAT ALL THE CHARACTERS LOOKED LIKE.
I'VE NOTICED THAT KIDS NOW-A-DAYS DON'T REALLY HAVE COLORING BOOKS LIKE MY GENERATION DID. I NEVER SEE THEM ON SALE AT THE SUPERMARKET OR THE TOY STORE AS THEY WERE IN MY DAY (i make it sound like i'm 100!). THIS GAVE ME THE IDEA TO START MY NEW COLLECTION OF PRINT OUT COLORING PAGES FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES! MY COLORING PAGES ARE, OF COURSE, BASED AROUND MY LOVE/HATE OF ALL THINGS FASHION. AAAAND, I EVEN GIVE SOME HELPFUL HINTS TO ALL THE CREATIVE THINKERS OUT THERE RIGHT ON THE PAGE. HOW CONVENIENT!
JUST PRINT IT OUT AND GO KRAZY KIDDIES!
