My 7 Illustrated Product Obsessions will return next week! In the meantime, let’s talk about Amelia’s Colorful Coloring Companion. This is a beautifully-illustrated book that’s in keeping with the adult coloring craze. 40 artists from across the world have created unique and unusual illustrations that are perfect for some tranquil coloring time.
The imagery is diverse and includes jungle scenes, urban environments, psychedelic views of the ocean, and much more. This diverseness came from an open brief to illustrate a double page spread for the book: a full-color image is on the left-hand side, while a black-and-white line drawing occupies the right. The two illustrations are similar (but not the same), and the colored side offers inspiration for how to tackle the right.
Want to score this book for yourself? You’re in luck! Amelia is raising the funds for production via Kickstarter. At the time of writing, you’ve got 3 days to pre-order your copy for delivery in December.
If you’ve long been a fan of illustration, the name Amelia might ring a bell. She’s the lady behind Amelia’s Magazine, which has been around for 11 years, first in print and now online. The Coloring Companion will be her fourth self-published illustration book.
Using the hashtag Instagram #ameliasccc, you can an example of colored pages. So many possibilities!
