Rating: 5 of 5

This is my first coloring book by Selena Fenech which is focused on simple and easy to color designs of young girls in fantasy. The style is very different from that of her adult fantasy girls. The young girls have sweet round faces, tiny shy eyes with a fringe of eyelashes and small little mouths turned up in tiny smiles.

The designs cover a nice range of fantasy with mermaids, fairies, witches, dragons, unicorns and more. The designs are fairly simple to color and have open and easy line drawings. These would be great designs for someone with slight fine motor issues and/or visions issues as there is nothing detailed or intricate about them.
I also really appreciate that this artist provides you with two copies of each design. That makes it easy to share or to try two different colorways or mediums.
This is what I experienced while coloring in this book and testing my coloring medium on the paper:
25 x 2 Cute Little Girls Fantasy Designs
Printed one side of the page
Paper is white, thin, slightly rough and non-perforated
Designs do not merge into the binding and there is plenty of room to cut out pages if you choose to do so. Some designs have a framing line around the outer edge
Glue Binding
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 pencils style blending stick. Both wax and oil based pencils worked well with the paper. Hard lead pencils can leave dents through the page.
I like to use a blotter when working in the 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.
