Some years ago now, my friend Judy gave me a beautiful coloring book with Scandinavian motifs. She actually gave me several, but there was one that spoke to me and I began to color.
As I colored the drawings, I realized that the quality of the pencils were of the utmost importance. I believe the ones Judy gave me came from Barnes & Noble and I don't think you could find a better set.
I have taken it up again and I'm right now working on a beautiful ram. I hope I can do him justice. I hope I'm doing all of them justice because the drawings are excellent.
I would recommend this very peaceful activity in times of trouble, like right now. You don't have to be good at drawing since that's already done, all you have to do is pick your colors and try to stay within the lines.
Note:
Thank you for your kind comments on the story I wrote when I was eight. I was a good kid, I respected my parents and believed they were right when they warned me about things. I believe this has helped me navigate my life safely. Being cautious while having adventures.
