Radial Designs to Color and Draw
Available for purchase via Amazon.
Radial Designs to Color and Draw is a combination coloring and drawing book. Pages alternate, half of them filled with eye-catching radial designs to color, and half with base grids to guide drawing your own radial designs. Somewhat complex designs means that this book is best for older children through adults, ages nine and up.
Reviews for Radial Designs to Color and Draw
“Nice coloring book focused on radial designs, that is, repetitive designs in a circular pattern. I liked the variety of designs to color — some have only straight lines and are very geometrical, others have softer shapes. Some even seem to be inspired by nature, with shapes that look like leaves or waves. What really sets this book apart is its innovative approach — after each design is a spoke and wheel-like outline for you to draw your own radial design. Well suited for older elementary kids through adults.”

“This is a wonderful coloring book. Although aimed at adults and teens, my 8 year old son loves it too. It’s been fun working on our creations together. And I really like that the author includes some grids/templates for us to create our own designs, too. What a perfect mix!”
