Coloring book art is the artwork that appears in a coloring book. It can be made in many media including pencils, crayons, markers and paint. The best coloring book art tells a story, makes people look twice and is eye-catching. It can also help develop creative skills and is fun for adults and children of all ages.
The big players in the coloring book market include Joanna Basford, Blue Star Coloring, Adult Coloring Books, Paige Tait and Christian Art Publishers. They all use amazing illustrations and have a large following of fans on Instagram and elsewhere. They are also well stocked on Amazon and other online retailers.
If you’re thinking of creating your own coloring book you could either self-publish to sell on Amazon and in local stores or make it as a one-of-a-kind gift for friends and family. The most important thing is to create a great product. It can be a very profitable venture, especially if you can capture the current zeitgeist and market trend.
It’s essential to get your layout and format right before uploading your interior files to Createspace. This includes making sure that your bleed and trim lines are clearly set out so that the printer doesn’t cut off any of your beautiful art. It’s also helpful to have a blank page in between each artwork page in case coloring materials might bleed through.
