Alcohol Markers

I was looking for a hobby i could do in the evenings and weekends. something cheap and that i could do with my kids. i thought id give coloring a try and bought some cheapo alcohol markers off amazon. turns out i really enjoy this!
i now spend about 30 minutes every evening coloring as me and my wife talk.


cheap amazon markers. my first page



first page with Ohuhu markers.







my friend gave me a batman coloring book. the paper is a lot thinner and harder to use but much more fun content



the page i am currently working on

Nice coloring you did here with your kids... Takes talent to color like this. I think this is a great hobby to get into myself.

I was an art teacher many moons ago. These were very popular, they are a good intro medium as well as a way to make more advanced art. I love them myself.

Cool coloring!

Back when i was a kid, they used to sell low cost coloring pens called 'felt tips'.
They offered a pack containing 50 or 100 (i forget) felt tip pens.
I would destroy the felt tip pens coloring in a single picture
It was good fun arranging the felt tip pens in order of yellow to orange to red to dark red etc. to make a Rainbow line up
