Bloomin Besties is the second of three coloring books recently released by Sherri Baldiy. Her My Besties illustrations have a world-wide following but I only recently discovered her adorable big eyed girls. As I love to garden, the Bloomin girls are especially cute for me to color. A good number of the designs actually show the little gardeners at work but others are lovely girls with lots and lots of flowers. There are also a couple of cute animal designs as well. I really appreciate getting two copies of each design. That gives me the opportunity to try two colorways or to share a copy with my husband who also colors along with me.
I really like these designs for fun and quick projects I can use my markers for base color and then shade with a variety of pencils and finish it in one sitting. I chose a cute little garden girl who is helping her flowers become just a tad more colorful as my first project and used alcohol-based makers to color the design and then oil-based pencils for shading.
Here is what I found within this book:
25 x 2 (50) My Besties Garden/Flower Girl Designs
Printed on one side of the page
Page is white, slightly rough, and is non-perforated
Glue Bound
Designs do not merge into the binding
Room enough to cut pages out if you wish to do so
Alcohol and water-based markers bleed through the page
Gel pens and India ink pens leave color shadows on back of the page
Coloring pencils work well: soft lead lay down color, layer, and blend well; hard lead dent the back of the page but lay down good color
