In the last few years there has been a coloring book printed on absolutely every subject that anyone might be interested in- no matter how much of a niche area it's in. Which brings us to this- I never thought I'd see a mainstream coloring book devoed solely to pictures of samurai warriors; yet I always wanted one and here it is! And it has well done drawings to boot that are even some what intricate/detailed. As usual with Dover books the paper is too thin so your markers will soak right through the paper ruining the book if you use them as sent. I prefer to use colored pencils instead to avoid that. You could transfer them to an artist sketch book by hand if you think it's worth the time. But the paper is fine if you stick with colored pencils such as the Lyra brand.
First let me temper the 3 star rating as saying the pictures in the book are fantastic, although I am a bit disappointed in the double sided pages. I prefer when Dover uses one image per sheet of paper. This particular book has some wonderful pictures for child and adult as well for those who might be "Samurai" enthusiasts. However the book was shipped in a yellow bubble wrap envelope with nothing to keep the book from being mishandled, bent or worse and sadly shipping for this one was painful, although that fault lies with the shipping company UPS as they shipped the book to a wonrg depot first and it ended up being an extra 2 days to receive. When it did arrive I was a bit taken aback by the shoddy packaging and upon opening further shocked to find the book bent and folded in several places. It is still workable but I will lose a few pictures thanks to damage.I don't understand why they would put a soft cover book in a padded envelope and it is the first time this has happened with the coloring books from , and I have about 45 now. In fact 2 others arrived at the same time also in a padded envelope, although without the damage.
Got this for my husband and he loves it. Coloring is a great stress reliever but I couldn't get him interested. He colored a samurai the first night i gave it to him. We color together often now. Great purchase.
The details are good, much expected from beloved Dover coloring books. I almost own all the Dover coloring books and some of the art books they supply and I love them all.This one to me, doesn't have a lot of interesting options but what coloring book has page turning intriguing options on each page? Well Dover does get the closest.
Another great coloring book by Dover. I've been coloring since before coloring was cool and have several Dover books. Detailed drawings come to life with a mix of pencils, crayons, and crayola markers. Sharpies tend to bleed through.
