Welcome to my second favourite hobby: buying books. Followed closely by browsing books. I’ve had an urge to be more creative during this stay at home time so I decided to get back into colouring. I was inspired when I saw an Instagram post about anatomy colouring books! I thought to myself:
- I love books!
- I love learning more about health and fitness!
- I want to colour more!
- Books + health and fitness + colouring = what a perfect trio!
So here I am with two anatomy colouring books:
- The Yoga Anatomy Coloring Book by Kelly Solloway and Samantha Stutzman
- First impressions: nice thick paper that will allow me to use markers (my preferred colouring medium because I dislike smudges on the paper). I want to start practicing yoga so this will be a great scientific introduction. The illustrations are crisp, generally span the entire length of the page and sufficiently detailed. Can’t wait to dive in!
- The Anatomy Coloring Book by Wynn Kapit and Lawrence M. Elson
- First impressions: unfortunately the paper is quite thin and will show marker bleed through on the other side. But this gives me a reason to buy a pack of colouring pencils so all is well. Each section is divided into different bodily systems with detailed notes and illustrations to colour. This reminds me of Grade 11 Biology and I’m excited!
