Colouring Book Therapy Posts:

If you’re a first time reader here, or have missed a few posts, here’s a list of all my “Colouring Book Therapy” posts so far! I missed a week or two recently due to the craziness of the Stamping Bella release preview posts, but I finally found some time to unwind with my colouring books, and I’m back to share that process with you.

Harry Potter Colouring Book – Magical Creatures Postcard Edition:

If you follow me on Instagram you may be aware that I love most things Harry Potter related. So, naturally I had to pick up some Harry Potter colouring books to play with!

I have a few of the Harry Potter Colouring Books in different sizes:

Here in the UK all of the books are published by Studio Press and are of a decent quality. The larger and compact editions feature double sided page designs, the postcard editions are single-sided with the usual postcard markings on the reverse and the postcards are a nice heavyweight cardstock.

The larger editions include some full colour images from the films in the back, which is a nice touch for reference purposes.

Because I wanted to colour using Copic Markers UK link*/US link*, I opted to colour a page from the postcard edition so that bleed-through wouldn’t be a concern. I really like the postcard editions for this, and the fact that they take less time to complete also doesn’t hurt!

Coloured Page:

The pixies were electric blue and about eight inches high, with pointed faces and voices so shrill it was like listening to a lot of budgies arguing. The moment the cover had been removed, they had started jabbering and rocketing around, rattling the bars and pulling bizarre faces at the people nearest them. – Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling

Colouring using Copic Markers on the postcard was not dissimilar to colouring on Bristol Board using markers.

A light touch is generally advisable as the ink may “travel” a little more than you might be used to on specialist marker papers, and lighter colours or the colourless blender may also “push” darker colours around more. With a light hand and avoiding the temptation to over-blend however, you can achieve some nice results!

I have created a Copic Colour Map for the page I coloured in the Harry Potter Magical Creatures Postcard Edition UK Link* / US Link*. I hope you find it useful!
