Stop in for a cup of coffee

One of the things that also sets my coloriing book images apart is using shades of gray in the images so that simple coloring gives a much better result by automatically shading the image in the right places. My research today made me realize that the very best coloring books for adults across all categories use this subtlety and the customers love it.

Like this for example...just color the bricks with one color pencil and watch them come alive!

I put an idea out years ago. Suggested a mural kit. Several overlays to create a given image.
His flames were really good,figured he could market something like that.

What im getting at, is say coloring book had wheel choice templates. Or scoops. Spoilers..

That might work in an online image selection program, but very hard to do in a coloring book. There would need to be far more pages of templates than images and every image would require a full set of supporting templates. Might not be a bad idea for a stand alone software program for printing “custom” images to color.
 
If you look carefully at this original colored image of the B&W one above, you will realized that no more than 6-8 colors are actually used. The gradient of color is achieved by the gray-scale, lightening and darkening each color by itself.

Post game on ESPN showed. It's nasty looking but not as bad as Theisman's. And was that really only 20 years ago?! I thought that happened in the mid 80s?
