Hey! you have caught my attention. Try it! I assure you that those books can be your salvation when you need to disconnect from reality, I've been trying art therapy with those books for a while now.
Just a while ago I got these from the line you show at the beginning (by Johanna Basford), and I was delighted with them, however, I accept that they are difficult drawings, you may need to try with some simpler ones first, I did it and now I love these more complex ones.
Your crocs turned out spectacular hehe, what's left for us? Try to pamper our inner child from time to time so that adult life doesn't consume us completely.
Love your post! and loved your books, your Hotel Transylvania pencil case looks great. I think I'll buy some stuff to decorate my crocs alhora 😅😅.
Cheers Erika, thanks for sharing your experience and I hope you get to like drawing in the books enough to give use to those wonders you had saved. love them! 💕
