I grew up with traditional coloring books, like many of us, and spent hours carefully (but usually not successfully, haha) filling in pages with pencils and markers. Then in college I got my iPad, and digital hobbies slowly became part of my relaxation routine.
Then enters Lake
Now I work for Lake (the best coloring app for iPads), so yes, I am a big stan, and I honestly love it for stress relief and when I want to be a little creative while watching something on TV. And don't get me wrong, traditional coloring still has its charm, but during busy weekdays, I usually reach for digital coloring on my iPad or iPhone because it is fast, convenient, and still relaxing.
What makes Lake special is that all drawings are created by real artists from around the world, not AI (!!!), and every time I color, I know I am supporting them. The app also has ASMR brush sounds that mimic real-life coloring, and with a paperlike screen protector on your iPad, you can even get that tactile pencil-on-paper feel, making it a truly immersive coloring experience.
Why is digital coloring working for me
Coloring on my iPad lets me build a consistent creative habit and makes the best stress-free corner in my life. For instance, the undo/redo button removes the fear of mistakes, the unlimited color palettes keep it fun and engaging and different art styles challange me to step out of my comfort zone. That's why Lake is my go-to iPad and iPhone app for mindful, creative relaxation.
