Detailed and Intricate Designs based on the members of The Inklings and their works printed one side of the page

The Inklings Coloring Book

By: James A. Owen

Rating: 5 of 5

This coloring book contains 15 very detailed and intricate designs. The blurb on the back of the books says that the designs are based on the works of the group known as The Inklings. What I found was that the majority of the designs were of the actual members of the group.

There are some designs which are based on works and the Bandersnatch makes his way (in one way or another) into each of the designs of the members. It’s kind of fun to search for how Bandersnatch was incorporated.
This is what I experienced while coloring in this book and testing it with my coloring medium:
15 Designs inspired by The Inklings and their works
Printed on one side of the page
Paper is white, medium/heavy weight, slightly rough and non-perforated
Stapled binding (book can be taken completely apart by removing two staples.
Alcohol-based markers bleed through the paper
Water-based markers, India ink pens and gel pens did not bleed but did leave slight shadows on the back of the page.
Colored pencils worked very well with this paper. I tested both oil and wax based pencils with good results. I was able to get good, deep pigment. I could layer easily (both same and different colors.) Blending was also excellent using a pencil style blending stick.
