Hi, Micka; I know this was quite a while back but I found it in a search of the forum; it sounds like you know something about online coloring? I'm just starting to get into it. I've found a couple of sites to color online at but have found that I need to use the sites that you just click on an area to be colored and the site colors it in for you; I have very little agility in my hands--never have since I was a kid, guess that's why the only thing I can stand to do with my hands is operate a mouse or a keyboard, lol--so I can't use the sites where you have to manipulate the pencil, pen or brush yourself. And the only sites I can find so far that color for you are kids sites with kind of plain, too-simple drawings. Thanks for any info. :)

Okay, I think I found some free MS adult coloring software that has the tap-to-fill option; can't wait to get started, lol. But if anybody does know of good coloring sites or software, free or not, I'd still love to hear about 'em. :love:

@officerripley I did a google search and I came up with a few results. I haven’t tried any of them myself but in glancing through them, I saw several that looked like there might be some intricacy to them. I kind of like coloring mandalas, from time to time but I couldn’t tell you the last time I thought I’d like it. It’ll just be best said as a while ago. Anyway, here’s that link for you, enjoy!

Wow, thanks, Chris; I'm definitely going to check those out! One I looked at real quick had in the list of categories, "Unclassifiable" and "Swear Words"; I love that! 😁

Hi, officerripley......the sites i'm using on my ipad, for coloring / paint by #, are ones you just have to tap.
Colors are numbered, just select, and tap away.
I hope this helps you.
I don't use any kind of software.
 
Very pretty artwork Diva! I love it! Yes, you must hang that one up. Do the colors ever fade in sunlight?
If sun is going to hit it you may want to frame it under a special glass that keeps it from fading.
Art Supply stores have that as well as frame shops.
Although I've never tried it though because I always paint on canvas with mostly use acrylics.
 
For my birthday Brenda bought me a adult coloring book with "100 tattoos " They are varied, some are fantasy themes, while others are more real worldly. I use bright neon color pens. I always store them tip down, so they don't dry out so fast. It is something that I can pick up and do, then leave it for something else. The 'paint by numbers " books are to me kind of child like, with less intricate designs. Not as much satisfaction as the free hand type. JimB.

Thank you Smooth Seas but T-shirts is something I don't need any more of! I just got another unexpected free one last week from Ocean's resort.
@officerripley do you do any coloring on your tablet? I don't use the coloring sheets found online. There are two apps that I've used on my tablet (probably be hard to use on a phone). One is Happy Color which is a color by number. I'm not always crazy about their color choices. The other is Color Me. They have color palettes with lots of choices, but sometimes it's hard to keep track of a color I want to go back to and use again. The other major problem for me is they started showing too many ads. If not for the last issue, I'd prefer Color me. Here's something I did in about 3 minutes using the Color Me app. They have much more intricate pictures in many different categories. Both apps have several options for sharing your finished picture.

Hi, Diva, I do coloring on my laptop; the online sites I use are thecolor.com and online-coloring.com (they both have simpler pictures to color but can be very relaxing when needing something easy); supercoloring.com (more intricate pictures which is challenging but fun); and Coloring+ which I got from the Microsoft store for free, there is a paid version which lets you save pix and do more, and Coloring+ also has more intricate, challenging stuff. I'll check in to the Color Me app, I see there is a windows version and I think it's free.

I'm so glad you all got me interested in coloring; it is so relaxing! :love:

Glad you're getting pleasure from it Officer. I never thought about finding sites on my desktop. The last time I was made aware of them, it required printing the designs. Not having to do that is way better. I tried each of the ones you mentioned. Each have their pros and cons. The color.com and online-coloring's pictures are too simple, as you mentioned but I could access them and color immediately on my computer. I don't like that I have to try to use the pencil or brush tool on Supercoloring although I like their picture choices. I don't have the patience for that one. When I tried to install Coloring+ on my desktop, Google Play installed it on my tablet instead. I didn't see the option to install it on my Mac. :unsure: I do like their pictures, so perhaps if there's not a lot of ads and I can choose my own colors, I'll keep it on my tablet. Thank you for the information.

@officerripley I found an app I like, simply called Coloring in the Google Play Store. I think it's the same as the Coloring+ app you mentioned, which wound up not installing on my desktop. I like that this app gives choices. Some pictures must be paid for with 5 or 10 "coins" to access. I started out with 50 bonus coins and can add more in increments of 5 for watching short videos. I'm used to that from playing Words With Friends. Other pictures are free. I was allowed to finish the first simple page I started and color for a good amount of time on the second picture without being interrupted with annoying ads like when I used the Color Me app, so I'm hoping it's like that all the time. I also like the way the palette is set up; It's much easier to choose colors from the same group and go back to the colors I want to use again. Thank you for expanding my creative options. :D
