Cute Cats

This is a coloring book about cats. They are quite cute. What I like most is that most of the designs are of cats are simply being cats. They are not being given human qualities though a few are a bit dressed up.
Personally, the most I could ever get my cats to wear was their collar and tag. Having said that, my youngest daughter, as a child, would take our cats and dress them in her doll clothes and put them in her doll stroller. And they loved it! If I had tried it, they would have tried to remove my spleen through a nostril or something. That this book brings back those memories is a special add-on for me while I am coloring.
The designs in this book are nicely detailed with a fun use of background as a integral part of the design. While I don’t consider these designs to be intricate or hard to color, there is enough going on that a project will take a bit of time to complete.
You can receive a digital download of the book as part of the purchase of the print copy (instructions in the book). While printing those copies is a great plus, I will be reviewing (and videoing and photo images) from the print copy.
This is what I found in this coloring book:
25 Unique Cat Designs with 2 copies of each for 50 coloring pages plus a couple of bonus pages from other books
Printed one side of the page
Paper is typical inexpensive quality by CreateSpace printing: white (with black printed on the back of each page), thin, slightly rough and non-perforated.
The designs do not merge into the binding. There is a thick framing line on each of the design pages,
There are is a thumbprint index of all images at the front of the book.
Glue Binding
Create Space Paper/Media Quality
While the back of the is printed black to show less bleed through, be aware that there is bleed through and protect your work. I like to use a blotter when working in this type of book. I use a page of card stock or several sheets of heavyweight paper under my working page. It keeps seeping ink and marring dents from ruining the pages below.
Alcohol-based markers bleed through the page quickly.
Water-based markers bleed through in spots.
Gel pens and India ink pens leave shadows on back of the page. India ink can bleed through if you apply heavily or multiple coats.
Coloring Pencils work fairly well with this publisher’s paper provided you don’t press extremely hard while coloring. I find that I can layers the same color for deeper pigment or multiple colors and blended easily with a pencil style blending stick. This is true of both oil and wax based pencils. I have also found that hard lead pencils leave dents through the paper.
Here are some samples of designs in the coloring book:
