About the Book
If you love to color abstract designs; if you love to color Zentangled Patterns; if you love to draw or color shading and patterns but are uncomfortable with drawing the base images, this book is for you! This book is full of light and dark line illustrations with >50+ coloring pages that will keep you busy for weeks or months! These images are hand-drawn, so the lines are organic and feel natural versus mechanically perfect. This book also includes bonus coloring pages from the artist's other coloring books - plus - discount codes for future purchases.
The artist, Dawn D. Boyer, Ph.D., has produced a compilation of delightful Zen doodles in this coloring book which allows the colorist to use their imagination in multiple ways with their choice of media. In this book you will find dozens of illustrations created from the artist's hand-drawn original inspired sketches. You will find intermediate to complicated images in this coloring book, including heavy lined drawings with simple shapes and designs and more fine-art styles with varied line weights (thin to medium).
