30 Cute and Fun Cat Coloring Designs printed on one side of white non-perforated paper
Adult Coloring Book: Cats
By: Two Hoots Coloring
Rating: 5 of 5
I love coloring books with cats and this book has 30 fun designs to color. The designs are stylized with lots of doodles which allows me to use a variety of colors. The designs range from open and easy to color to those that are more intricate. The lines are thin on some while others have heavy black lines which stand out boldly in a finished project.
These cat coloring designs have been curated by the publishers from a variety of image licensing companies. That means that we get a variety of designers work in a single book, which is generally a great thing to get at a reasonable price. While most of the designs are new to me, I found that a couple of them are ones that I have seen in other books before but in a larger format. I will include a silent video which will show all of the designs included in this book.
The designs are printed on one side of thin white paper. The book is a smaller than usual format. The pages are not perforated but the artist has left ample room to cut a page out if you choose to do so. The binding is glued rather than sewn, so you can have it cut off if you wish to have sheets rather than a book. The designs all have finished elements or framing around them so I have a natural stopping point when I am coloring. I really like this as it helps give work a more polished a finished look.
All of my markers and gel pens bleed through this paper and coloring pencils work well with it. You can see a list below of the coloring medium that I tested on this book. As the backside of the page is blank, I can use a heavyweight paper or chipboard beneath my working page to keep ink from leaking through. Chipboard can be purchased at an office supply store or on-line fairly inexpensively. I can reuse it many times over, so that is becoming my standard blotter sheet.
These are the coloring medium that I use for testing. If there is something else you feel I should be testing, please let me know and I will see if I can add it to my growing pile:
Markers: 1) alcohol-based Copic Sketch, Prismacolor double ended markers (brush and fine point), Sharpies (fine and ultra-fine) and 2) water-based Tombows dual end markers (brush and fine point), Stabilo 88, Staedler triplus fineliners, and Pentel markers
Gel Pens: Sakura, Fiskars, and Tekwriter
Coloring Pencils: Prismacolor Premier Soft Core, Derwent Colorsoft, Prismacolor Verithins, and Faber-Castel Polychromos
