I have a coloring book ready to publish and my questions are: 1. How can I copyright the individual designs? I only found info online about copyrighting entire books. 2. Can I use those designs in other places like postcards, journal covers, mugs etc? 3. If someone takes my copyrighted uncolored design, colors it, and sells it, is that infringement? 4. If I take my uncolored design, color it, and put it on a product, is that a new design that I would have to copyright? 5. With art being stolen so often, is it worth it to copyright my designs?
