I have another coloring book by this artist and another one on the way. I enjoy coloring manga characters and Christopher Hart is one of the better artists with respect to this type of characters in coloring books.

These are designs of girls and can range from a headshot to a full body pose. The designs all have backgrounds (mostly in a wall paper style.)

The backgrounds are there only as a backdrop to the girl, so the repeating patterns there don’t bother me. I can either choose to make them fade away using monochrome colors or bring them to life with bright and contrasting colorings.

The girls are the “thing” in this book and they are really well done. My husband likes to color this style of book as well, so either a tug-of-war ensues or we each buy our own book. This is one where we had to get two.

The designs are detailed because of those backgrounds. Otherwise, the girls are fun and fairly easy to color. I hope Mr. Hart continues to bring his artwork to coloring books in the future. I now he has a Christmas Chibi book that is winging its way to me as I write this. Look for that review soon!
