ABOUT
COCOA LINES

What this is

Cocoa Lines makes coloring pages for grown-ups who want the same thing out of an hour with a pencil that other people want out of a long bath. Warm rooms, rain on the glass, a cat asleep somewhere it shouldn’t be, shelves with too much on them. Scenes you can sit inside, not motivational lettering.

Every sheet is drawn as one continuous illustration — a real place with a floor and a window and a corner — rather than an object floating on white. That is the whole difference, and it is why a sheet takes an evening instead of four minutes.

How the sheets are made

Scenes are written first as a brief — what is in the room, what the light is doing, what the eye should land on. They are drawn with AI image tools under that brief, then checked one by one and thrown out when they fail: broken perspective, lines too thin to hold a marker, shapes too closed to colour, anything with lettering in it. Roughly one in three survives.

What survives is cleaned up, thresholded to pure black on pure white, and laid out to fill a whole sheet at 300 dpi. We say this plainly because you deserve to know what you are printing, and because the checking is the part that actually costs time.

Free and paid

Eight sheets from every collection are free, forever, with no email required and no account. They carry a small line at the foot of the page saying where they came from. The paid pack is the rest of the collection — more scenes, two line weights, both paper sizes, no footer, and a licence that covers a classroom or a group.

Nothing is on a subscription. Nothing expires. If we add scenes to a pack you already bought, they turn up in your library for nothing.

Who it is for

• Adults who colour to put the phone down for an hour.
• Teachers, librarians and carers who need something calm to print for a room full of people.
• Occupational and art therapists who want big closed shapes and honest print quality.
• Anyone who has downloaded a “free printable” that turned out to be a 900-pixel JPEG.

Talking to us

One inbox, read by a person: agent.atelier@yahoo.com. Requests for scenes are genuinely welcome — a good part of what gets drawn comes from someone writing in to ask for it.
