Coloring books are a fun way to pass the time. You don’t need impressive artistic skills to turn a coloring template into your own work. Just pick up a book or print a page with designs, grab your crayons, and let your inner artist out.
This is exactly what users on the r/ColoringCorruptions subreddit have done. The only difference is that their vision involves turning children’s coloring templates into slightly more adult ones. These artists have taken cartoon images and corrupted them into malevolent yet hilarious versions instead. Although some are pretty gnarly, you have to admire the artists’ creative skill at adapting the templates.
Bored Panda reached out to the founder of the r/ColoringCorruptions subreddit to learn more. Plus, we spoke with Dr. Pam Spurr and Gretchen Miller, two art therapy professionals, for their insights into the power of coloring books. Read on for our interviews with them.
Here’s our latest picks for the best corrupted coloring books. You can check out our other collections of them here, here and here. Look away if you don’t want to ruin your childhood!
