This is a nice collection of animal designs, with a wide variety of animals A-Z.I tend to like designs to color with some detail, but not so detailed that you lose your patience and eyesight. So I prefer less complex designs, as in this book. Most of the animals are centered on the page with some background details around them, so it isn't too intimidating for me. I easily finished my page(see my photos) in one evening. I think these animals will appear to young and older people--they are cute and whimsical, but not juvenile.Features of the book:-50 designs are on the front of the page only--nothing on the back-Crisp, clean line art (I hate it when the lines are blurry)-8.5x8.5â Bright white paper--the same as all the Createspace publications.-Pages are not perforated-Designs are suitable for markers (some pages will require a fine tip), colored pencils, and gel pens.-Crayons will work for even some of the images.-Markers may bleed through, so use a blank page as a "color protector page".-Glossy front and back coversOverall, this book provides some really charming animal designs, and should keep you busy coloring for many days!I received a free copy of this book to test and give an unbiased review, and my opinions are based on actually using and coloring the book. I used Caran D'ache colored pencils and some watercolor pencils for my page.
I have a lot of fun coloring Samantha Snyder's designs. She is able to bring a real sense of whimsy to the 50 animals designs in this book. She does a little bit of âdoodlesâ within each of them but not to the point of being tiny and intricate and hard to color. I find that I can finish one of these designs fairly quickly in an hour or so while watching (really listening) to a television show. I love using markers for bright and bold colors that make the animals jump off the page.The animals are generally placed in a setting that is appropriate but which has still has the fun and comical feel as the animal. At the end of this review, I will list the animal designs included in the book.The coloring book is a smaller format than most other coloring books. That seems to be the style of the Doodle Art Alley books. I like it for these designs as they are well centered on the page without dead space around them.The designs are printed on one side of bright white non-perforated paper. The binding is glued rather than sewn, so you can cut pages out if you choose to do so. I was able to break the spine enough to get the book to lay fairly flat and it was easy to get to all parts of the design to color.Each of the designs has a framing line around them. This seems to be the style of this artist. I appreciate it as it gives me a natural stopping point, saving me time and ink.I test all of my coloring books with various types of coloring medium (which I will list in the comments section below.) Here are the results of my tests:All of my markers (water and alcohol-based, fine, ultra-fine, and brush end) bled through this paper. My India ink brush pen also bled through. My gel pens (all brands and nib sizes) all left a color shadow on the back of the page. My coloring pencils worked well for their lead type. The soft lead blended really well. The hard lead left indents at the page of the page if I pressed hard when coloring.When using markers, I cut down a piece of chipboard and place it beneath my working page to keep the ink from leaking through and marring the page below.The animals in this coloring book include: alligator, anteater, bird, bison, blowfish, bugs, camel, cat, cow, dinosaur, dog, dolphin, dragon, dragonflies, duck, eagle, elephant, flamingo, fox, frog, giraffe, hedgehog, hermit crab, iguana, jellyfish, kangaroo, kiwi, lemur, meerkat, house, owl, panda, peacock, penguin, pig, porcupine, rabbit, raccoon, rhinoceros, seahorse, shark, sheep, skunk, snail, tiger, turtle, unicorn, walrus, and zebra.I received a free sample of this coloring book for test and review purposes.
I actually purchased this book for our nine year old daughter who LOVES to color. Of course when it arrived I had to "try" it out! (See pic.) With the designs in this book not being so filled in as some of the other adult coloring books out there, it does not take the same length of time to complete a picture. For busy moms (and kids) this keeps things fresh. I was able to finish this picture in between schooling the kids.There are 50 different animal pictures featured in alphabetical order. Each picture is on its own page i.e. the back is plain. Paper is white and the size of each image box (not page) is 7" x 7". Although marketed as an Adult Coloring Book I think the author/artist is missing out on a massive audience by not marketing this to youngsters. In my opinion the images in this book are more "kid" appealing than "adult".Anything I would like to see different? Yes! Perforated pages please so that when completed the "artist" at home can display their work by tearing out the page easily. OR as in our case, where two or more are coloring it would be nice to be able to tear the pages out easily before starting to color.Some of the animals are obvious, others a little more obscure so it would be nice to have the titles under the picture. Just so you know I took several pictures of the pages but the one I colored is "Bugs".Overall a great book and I know our daughter will have many hours of pleasure using it. Thanks, Liz
