The blending of these elements provides several benefits. It can serve as a creative outlet, encouraging artistic expression and fine motor skill development. The familiar imagery may also act as an accessible entry point into artistic pursuits for individuals drawn to the specific aesthetic. This hybrid form draws upon the popularity of both anime and coloring, potentially widening the appeal and accessibility of each.
