Macstories:
Pigment works in a rather unsurprising way: the app launches to a library of digital coloring books, ranging from animal figures such as butterflies and birds filled with smaller patterns to flowers, geometric shapes, 3D structures, and the omnipresent mandalas for a total of 200 illustrated works. Most of the books’ artworks have been licensed from Shutterstock, but there are also books by independent artists as well as patterns created with Assembly, Pixite’s innovative design tool for iOS. It’s a good selection of themes and patterns, in line with popular trends in adult coloring books and a solid start for an app that wants to replicate the coloring experience on an iPhone and iPad.
Adult coloring books have been around for a while. As soon as I saw the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil, I knew they would be a good fit for people like me who can’t draw but like to color.
They should call them “all-ages coloring books” because “adult coloring books” sounds like you are going to be coloring pee-pees and ta-tas.
Sounds like it would be a good thing to sit back and relax with, but they lost me at a subscription payment system. If you spend a lot of time using it and/or go through physical coloring books quickly it would be worth it, but the cost is prohibitive for the once in awhile kind of use.
These are Magic Eye Mandalas. Stare at them long enough and you will see the pee-pees and ta-tas.
