I love the pictures but the problem is that they are printed on front and back and my ink bled through so I can only use one side and have to pick carefully which side I want. The sides I have picked came out well. Here is an example:
It was great to see a new coloring book from Tom Tierney. I've colored his other fashion coloring books many times and will, no doubt, order this one again to color as well.The illustrations of the fashions are very well done, the artwork is excellent, the drawings are large and easy to color. It was interesting seeing the fashions and reading the brief text about them.I was mystified by some of the backgrounds--but that in no way deterred my enjoyment of this fine coloring book, as my main interest was the figures wearing the fashions and those are clearly and concisely drawn.Looking forward to more coloring books from Mr. Tierney.
Fun Drawings - Am enjoying coloring the dancers and people from the Roaring 20's. The only improvement was not to have a picture on every page. In a couple of cases, my coloring rubbed off on the page across from it. Not too much but just a little. Really am enjoying the variety of dancers and costumes. My imagination is running wild with the colors. Some of the costumes are very complex and have plenty of variety for your imagination. Loving it. The vendor shipped quickly and gets 5 stars.
Pretty cool coloring book for adults!There is enough detail to keep your interested but not so much that it's impossible to do. It was very fascinating, to me anyway, to see what people wore in the Roaring Twenties. Some of the styles were a hoot! Product arrived quickly in new condition. The text accompanying the pictures was interesting. HOWEVER having one picture on each side forced you to decide which one to color as at least some of the color would 'bleed' though on the other side. But unless you planned on framing your picture (or to just keep them for some reason) than it wasn't that big a deal. I have never framed a picture I colored and I don't keep them so it wasn't that big a deal to me. However I do realize that this will be a big deal for some. The only way around this is to buy two of the coloring books and that could present a problem for some people as well. I paid $5.99 for this including S&H but it's now selling for $3.99 so that makes it cheaper to buy two of them.IF this had only one picture per page I would rate this a perfect 10. However it didn't so my rating is a 8.25 to 8.75 out of 10.
Love this book. It's not so detailed that it becomes frustrating or a massive time commitment to complete a picture (as so many adult coloring books are to me). The detailing on the fashion is really fun, and I like that it's people focused as that's what I prefer to color.I do wish it included a section on historically accurate color combinations for the period as I sometimes felt at a loss for ideas. Also, as others have mentioned, it is two sided and the paper isn't super thick. I use colored pencils though and didn't experience any significant bleeding issues. Besides, the price is fabulous.
Really helped me with 1920s fashion. There's little explanations and descriptions so you know just what each piece of a costume is called. It wasn't all flapper dresses, and it explains when flapper dresses do start and such. It's a GREAT reference or guidebook for an artist looking to draw people in this era.
First, I received this two days before the ETA which makes me mighty impressed. Now that I have it, I can't stop coloring it. I have already colored three pages since I received this. It's a great coloring challenge and the illustrations are awesome.
GREAT 20's fashions!Lots of variety with realistic looking people and fashions.Printed on Double sided thin weight paper. (Which is the only draw back to this coloring book).Marker's, sharpies, and some gel pens bled though paper.
