Let me start by saying, I’m onto colouring a snake sketch now, and the day I started it, I dreamt about snakes (horned vipers), that too a brilliant green, blue one. Just goes to show into it I was.

I loved colouring this dapper, horse with lush mane. I was, am going through a difficult time in life right now and this has helped me calm down, it has meditative properties, so don’t watch something while doing it (preferably), if you concentrate well, how the pencil colours feel when they come into contact with the paper, does the paper feel smooth or rough, how do you feel about the trippy colours?

Remember when you had to colour that hut brown and that apple red? Hell with it. I feel great letting my inner artist nurture. The horse has 40 shades? So be it. Like Priyanka Chopra’s character in The Sky is Pink says, “If you think the sky is pink, then the sky is pink!”

It’s called the art of anti-stress for a reason. Colouring books are keenly priced, so I suggest you grab a copy now and do your brain a favour!

Good luck! And happy colouring!
