Life in colour(ing): How a Toronto artist became a creator of adult colouring books
Steve McDonald has published two popular adult colouring books and has a deal to create three more.
The man behind Fantastic Cities and Fantastic Structures is inspired by his travels and wants to create a visual architectural language for his fans. As an artist and illustrator, McDonald said it's his colouring books that have garnered the most meaningful feedback about his work.
Candy showed off some colouring books from her personal collection:
