In his debut book, online drawing sensation Campbell offers readers the chance to explore his bright, lively colouring-in-reverse techniques in their own style.

This high-profile illustrator has long wowed hundreds of thousands of followers with fun online drawing demos and now delivers a master class in reverse colouring—a relaxing and therapeutic way for anyone to unleash their artistic side. Unlock better health and wellness through the simple joy of creativity—this drawing trend involves adding line, shape, and form to vibrant splashes of colour already on the page. With more than fifty original pages of colour, the reader can add their own line, shape the colour forms into illustrations, and bring the artworks to life.

The colours and shapes are in the author’s distinctive, mid-century style, with beautiful, quirky, and cute creatures in urban and domestic settings and lush patterns. From cats with personality and sleepy dogs to giraffes among the buildings, he wants the reader to have fun, relax, and, without trying, learn a little about line drawing. Simply add line to bright splashes of colour, give form to abstract and organic shapes, pick out areas in an array of dots, shade in subtle contours, build bold dynamic structures in strong outlines, and much more.

Campbell provides instructions, techniques, and inspirational suggestions for creating art, while leaving the reader with plenty of space to indulge their own creativity. All that is needed is a pen . . . and some imagination!
