Beautiful and Stylized Animals Coloring Book printed on one side of non-perforated paper
Adult Coloring Books: Wild and Free: Featuring Stress Relieving Animal Designs (Wild Animal) (Volume 3)
By: Adult Coloring Books
Rating: 5 of 5
This is a coloring book with animal designs from a variety of artists. As is common with these curated books, the images are licensed from artists via Shutterstock.com. It is an excellent way to provide colorists with a variety of styles and allows artists to get their work published.
The book contains 26 designs (27 if you include the preface to the title page which is the cover art image.) The designs range from highly stylized animals to a fun doodle style (which I find so much fun to color.) The animals include: elephants, tiger, lion, butterfly, ram, horse, and many more. Some designs have heavier black lines than the others. While many of the designs are intricate, I don’t consider them to be difficult to color as the spaces are a good size and I can get all of my various coloring medium into those spots.
The pages are printed on thin white paper which is not perforated. The designs are printed on one side of the page with the back left blank. There is room between the designs and the glue binding so you can remove the pages with a pen knife or by heating the edge (though that is something I have yet to attempt.)
My book has a publishing issue that I will note though it may not be in all copies. There is a black frame around all but one design and in my copy, that frame is off-set so that only three sides are complete. The top of the frame disappears on the near the margin. That isn’t an issue for me as I did not intend to color the background on these designs but I did want to note it in case it is a problem with the entire run of this book.
My gel pens and markers all leaked through this paper. Not a problem, though, as I can put a piece of chipboard or a couple of heavy weight pieces of paper under the page I am working on to keep the ink from leaking through. Coloring pencils work well with the paper.
I received a free sample of this coloring book for test and review purposes.
