This is a lovely grayscale coloring book. It is, apparently, the third in a series by this artist. It is the first that I have purchased, so I can’t speak for any changes from the first and second stylings to the ones in this book. Also, for those who don’t care for grayscale, it seems that there is now a line drawing version of this book (which did not exist when I purchased my copy some time ago.)

There are 20 designs in this book. The female characters all have a similar look (very, very thin with slightly oversize heads and large features.) The result is rather an elfin type look than an emaciated “Twiggy” look.

It is definitely grayscale, so be aware that there is a use of light gray on each design. Grayscale is a type of coloring which calls for coloring over gray to get shading rather than simply coloring each element on its own. I used to use markers with pencil over top but as my health issues no longer allow me to use markers, I use pencils by themselves. A different look and feel but fun nonetheless.
