For a while I was making the same coloring books everyone else was: tiny mandalas, dense florals, a million little sections you need a fine-tip pen and 45 minutes of patience for.

Then I noticed something. The people telling me they loved coloring the most were also the ones telling me they never actually finished a page. It wasn't relaxing for them — it was just... another unfinished task staring back at them. For anyone with ADHD, anxiety, or just a fried brain at the end of the day, "intricate" isn't calming. It's homework.

So I flipped the brief: bold lines, big open shapes, zero precision required. You can finish a page in 10 minutes and it still looks good. No "correct" way to do it. The point isn't the finished product — it's the 10 minutes your brain got to stop thinking.

That's the whole idea behind Snug Sketches. Low-demand creativity, not another thing to optimize. If your "relaxing hobby" stresses you out, it's not doing its job.
