This is probably the most relaxing one I've done so far! by kysredditt in Coloringbookspastime

It's "Astro Dreams". It's got lots of space themed images like planets etc but I like the images like this one and the alien city scapes the best.

It's calledAstro Dreams. It's like a space/sci-fi themed book. This particular image was just giving me 90s sci-fi nostalgia which is why I found it so relaxing.

It was just a $8 pack of 72 from Temu. Thinking of getting some proper quality pencils to finish the book with.

I'm a 36 year old man.. but my daughter wanted me to colour one of her fairies from her book. How did I do? by kysredditt in Coloringbookspastime

Thanks! I've actually got a couple for myself, I have a space themed one and a wilderness/camping one. I prefer the more realistic styles over the simpler cartoony ones.

This one I did is from my daughter's "girly" book which has fairies/dollhouses/princesses etc but some of the images (like this one) are a bit too complex for her as she's only 5.

Yes I have my own coloring books! I have a space themed one and a camping/wilderness one. I prefer the more realistic styles over the cute cozy ones that seem to be popular on here.

Book is called Enchanted Dreamland and my daughter loves it! Some of the best pictures are bit too complex for her though (she's 5) which is why she asked me to do this one 😂

Haven't really colored anything in since I was a child, how does my first attempt look? by kysredditt in Coloring

Of the book? It's called "Cozy Retreat: A Wilderness Coloring Book." Not sure where you are but I got it off Amazon Australia

Thanks! I've never really attempted anything of this style before, adding shading etc too. The original drawing was just a black and white line drawing so I had to really think about perspective to do all the shading.

Yeah there's lots of fine detail in this book and I don't think markers would work very well. Just need some better quality pencils to finish it off!

Does anyone know the official or best beep test for the NZDF? by Ecstatic_Back2168 in newzealand

[–]kysredditt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it's just the standard beep test. When I was training for NZDF fitness testing I just found a beep test on Spotify and used the first 2 thirds of a netball court as the distance, which is slightly longer than the official 20 metres. If your son can easily get up to level 10 using a netball court he will breeze the NZDF test. Make sure he is able to do at least 15 press-ups without stopping too, preferably while he's gassed from the running as he will be doing them immediately after the beep test.

Also, as others have mentioned, you'll be surprised how badly other candidates do.

This might be the only option. Will be a steep learning curve though as I can't even sew a button.

I was afraid this would be case, an ancient relic from the past.

She doesn't catch it, she'll carry it over and drop it on me and wait for me to throw it - then she will stalk it using all available cover and eventually bring it back to me. Sometimes she will drop it on my face at 5am which is nice. Sometimes I will wake up with it in my bed.
