See it on Etsy →The problem with most printable coloring pages is resolution. A design that looks fine as a thumbnail turns into fuzzy grey lines at A4, and no amount of good paper fixes it. Everything here is drawn at full print size from the start, so the fine work in a mandala or a ship's rigging is still crisp when it comes out of the tray.
Books are themed rather than generic. A tarot book that actually follows the Major Arcana. A deep-sea book with anglerfish and siphonophores rather than five cartoon dolphins. Many titles ship in both dark-line and light-line versions, because pencil and marker want different weights of outline.
These are books, not five-page samplers. Most titles run forty pages; the pirate and psychedelic collections run to a hundred.
Heavier lines for markers and gel pens, lighter ones for coloured pencil where a thick outline swallows the shading. Both are in the same download.
Pages are laid out to print single-sided so alcohol markers bleeding through cost you nothing but the sheet.
For coloured pencil, 160–200 gsm smooth cardstock. For alcohol markers, a marker paper or at minimum 200 gsm, and expect some ghosting. Plain 80 gsm copier paper is fine for pencils if you are just relaxing rather than making something to keep.
Yes, if you turn off "fit to page" and print at 100 per cent, or select "actual size". Each PDF is sized for both A4 and US Letter with margin to spare. Cropping almost always comes from a printer setting, not the file.
Instantly. Etsy makes the download available the moment payment clears, and the files stay in your Etsy account permanently — so a new laptop two years from now is not a problem.
As many times as you want. Colour one badly, print it again. That is the whole advantage over a physical book.
The adult books are drawn at adult complexity — fine detail, dense pages. Some titles carry mature humour or subject matter and are marked as such. There is a separate Coloring for Kids section for younger colourists.
Every file is an instant download and yours to print as many times as you like.
