Chibi Girls 2: A Cute Coloring Book with Adorable Girls, Playful Scenes, and Fun Adventures

By: Jade Summer

Rating: 5 of 5

This is the second coloring book of Chibi Girls designs by Jade Summer. There are 30 different designs (with 2 copies of each design for a total of 60 coloring pages.) The designs show a lot of fun little Chibi girls in a variety of places and occupations. The designs include a Samurai girl, a fairy princess, an elf, a surfer, a birthday girl and many more. Each design is cuter than the last. There are no repeats from the last book.

The word chibi is a Japanese slang term for small person. The cute little girls in this book are small but have beautiful big eyes and even bigger personalities. The designs are detailed with full backgrounds; however, they are not intricate and hard to color.
While you can have access to .PDFs when you purchase this book, my review is based on the book as it is received from Amazon. That way you will know what the pages look like and how they accept color. I like that the publisher provides the digital version as well so you can choose the paper you wish to use and/or to color the pictures as many times as you choose.
This is what I found while coloring in this book and testing the paper with my coloring medium:
30 unique designs x 2 each cute Chibi girl designs for a total of 60 coloring pages
Designs are printed on one side of the page
Paper is typical of CreateSpace: white, thin, slightly rough and non-perforated. The back of the page is printed black.
The designs do not merge into the binding. There is a heavy framing line at the outer edges of the design to give the project a more finished look, especially for framing.
Glue Binding (there is room to cut the pages out if you choose to do so.)
Though you cannot see the bleed-through easily due to the back of the page being printed in black, I recommend the use of a blotter page when working in this 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 well with this paper. I found that I could layers the same color for deeper pigment or multiple colors and I could blend easily using a blending stick. I tested both oil and wax based pencils. I also found that hard lead pencils leave dents through the paper.
