I was into adult coloring big time not too long ago.  I must have more than a dozen sets of various coloring implements!  And I have enough coloring books to last a lifetime and then some.  Some I bought myself.  Some I gifted.  I framed some of my finished pages that I was partiularly fond of and they hang in my dining room.  I'll get back to it one day, because I found it so relaxing, yet somewhat challenging in deciding on color schemes.  I then found adult dot-to-dot, and that took over my spare time for a good bit.

However, I make all my own greeing cards and I have been spending most of my spare time work on paper crafting these days.  

(But when push comes to shove, I can get immersed for hours doing jigsaw puzzles on my laptop!!!!!!!) 

(Your projects are beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I also bought these to try, but I haven't opened them yet.

So if you color, what materials do you like to use?

@lolakimono . . . .   Your designs are lovely - nice color combos. I've been coloring for about three years. I've tried many different types of things to color with, and these Prismacolor pencils are by far my favorite, and are the only thing I use. They can be pricey, but I have found the best place to buy them is ****** Blick Art Supply (dickblick.com). They also have some nifty accessories that I love such as blender pencils, extender handles (for when the pencils get really short), erasers and good sharpeners, all also at good prices.

I use pencils and gel pens ... depending on my mood and the picture I'm coloring.

Mine are just in books. I'm not talented enough to do freehand.  I'd love to do something looking like the log cabin quilts.  Maybe that'll give me something to look into this winter. Little projects help get me through the winter.

I know you're a DOG person, but I also found this one (haven't started it though).

Have you ever dipped just the tips in water, to create a watercolor effect?  I do this with my Prang colored pencils, which are at school, but I wondered if you can do the same with these.

@lolakimono, how smart you are. I need to try and remember that, for a watercolor effect.  So smart!

I like to use pencils best. I like to shade and sometimes put color on top of color. Gel pens don't work very well for that.I have a set of gelpens and don't use them to color. I use them more for making posters etc.
