Color Super Cute Animals

Rating: 5 of 5

This is a really fun and cute coloring book filled with 56 different original designs by Jane Maday. There are so many animals in this book, including: dogs, cats, frog, fox, birds, horse, butterfly, fish, rabbits, and so much more. The animals are generally set in a background which can be as simple as a few flowers or more elaborate. Some of the animals include doodle elements while others are line drawings.

The designs are generally detailed but are not overly intricate or difficult to color. The book is well published with one small nit. In some cases, the designs cross over the perforations near the binding and you will lose some portion of the design if you remove it from the book. In some cases it causes the symmetry of the design to be lost. You can remove pages in whole by snipping the sewn binding, so I didn’t detract stars from this remove for this issue.

This is what I found while coloring in this book and testing the paper with my coloring medium:

37 Cute Original Animals Designs by Jane Maday

Printed on one side of the page

Paper is heavyweight, white, smooth and perforated

Sewn Binding

Some designs merge over the perforations and some designs merge into the binding area

Alcohol-based markers bleed through this paper

Water-based markers can leave shadows on the back of the page. I had this issue with both Stabilo 88, and Staedler triplus fineliners ultra-fine nib markers. My Tombows brush end did not leave shadows.

Gel pens and India ink pens did not leak through the page.

Colored pencils work well with the paper. Though it was smooth to the touch, it still had enough tooth to get good pigment with multiple layers of same color, layered well with multiple colors and blended well using a pencil style blender stick. I found that oil based and water-based pencils did equally well.

I use a blotter page of card stock or several sheets of heavyweight paper below my working page. That keeps seeping ink from damaging the pages below.
