Despite what you may have been told, colouring books are not just for kids. Just look at this urban colouring book and sticker kit from [Sanithna Phansavanh](http://sircle.net/fyah)! It integrates black and white photographs of city scenes, then lays over black outlines, like the ones in a kids colouring book that you can decorate yourself.

You can perfect your [tagging skills by colouring in graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masterpeace-painting) or spunk up people's outfits by adding some vibrancy to their outlines. The kit comes with a bunch of neat layouts to colour and all the tools you'll need to make each city scene a work of your own.

These are by far the [coolest coloring books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorjoy) I've seen; way better than filling in images of Shrek or drawing on restaurant layouts. They're also a lot less controversial than TopShop's colouring books...
