A while ago, I was posting announcements about collecting artwork for a DST project this term.

For my digital media class, our final assessment is to creatively solve a global problem close to our hearts, and mine is about how many individual and budding artists don't always get the recognition they deserve. My idea was to compile drawings from lots of artists and publish their lineart in a mindfulness colouring book. That way, people get to relax while colouring all the lovely drawings, and the artists get the attention they deserve.

On the flipside, it provides a coping mechanism and method to unwind with for anyone super stressed or anxious.

Anywayyy, I got tons of gorgeous pictures from people everywhere, and although it was slow progress at first, I managed to include everyone, including the lovely AdorkableLoki and the spectacular  bohemianrasberry!

We went and picked up the final product today, and I think, just by looking at it, that I'm going to get a pretty good mark :)

I also never got to DM Val their pages, so here they are:

They're absolutely gorgeous, thank you so much, Val!!!

A few people told me that they'd like to see some pages once they're completed, and use them for some of their own mindfulness colouring, so I've attached some of the prints below with the authors :)

I hope you have fun if you're thinking of colouring these in, I'm sure they were made with a lot of love <3
