Review: Another beautifully illustrated coloring book by Kanoko Egusa – printed both sides of the page - This is second of two coloring books currently available by the wonderfully talented artist, Kanoko Egusa. This book (as was the first one) is printed in Japanese but the artwork is universal in nature and in appeal. Once again, the artist takes us on an adventure into her imaginative world of animals and flowers – this time with an emphasis on forest animals. The first book by this author was laid out in almost a story book fashion. This book is more straight-forward with lots of designs that are related by subject matter but less so as a story. The 87 pages of designs are, once again, well lined up in my book, which I appreciate as a number of the designs span across two pages. There are also two bonus pages of designs at the back of the book – one which is two postcards and the other which is five ornaments size designs. The designs are very detailed with some intricate to color areas. The paper is a warm white and has the very slightest of roughness to the tough which makes it great for colored pencils. I am very impressed by the artwork by this artist. I hope that she will be publishing more in the future as the two books that I purchased (from Japan through desertcart) are what I hope are just the beginning of my collection of her work. The book has a dust cover in warm beige. It has front and back flaps with line drawings but the interior of the dust cover is blank. The outside of the dust cover has a linen-like embossing and has beautiful line matte black art (front and back) that can be colored if you wish. The attached cover is light brown with red line art designs on the outside and deep muted red on the inside. This is what I found while coloring in this book and testing the paper with my coloring medium. I will list, in the comments section below, the coloring medium I used to test this book and which I generally use in my coloring projects. 87 Animal and Flower Fantasy Coloring book (includes title and introduction pages) plus two bonus pages Printed on both sides of the page Paper is heavyweight, warm white, slightly rough, and non-perforated Glue Bound Some designs spread across two pages Designs merge into the binding area. You will lose essential elements if you attempt to cut pages out. Alcohol-based markers bleed through this paper. If you use these, you will ruin the designs on the back of the page. Water-based markers, India ink and gel pens do not bleed through or leave shadows on the back of the page. I'm very impressed with how well this paper works with these wet mediums. Colored Pencils work very well with this paper. I tested both oil and wax-base pencils and got good results with both. My tests were for pigment lay down, layering the same color, layering multiple colors, and blending using a pencil style blending stick.
Review: Exceptional art work and beautifully presented! - These are Expensive as coloring books go, even the really good American ones don't cost $25.00. However, They are so charming and so well illustrated, in my opinion, they are worth it. They are illustrated on both sides of the page so one needs to be cautious about using pens & markers, but another desertcart customer told me she uses those coloring tools without bleed through on her book, so this is entirely up to the person who buys this book. I plan to use pencils as they are my favorite medium. The illustrations are just divine. The expressions and postures of the various animals dressed as humans, is totally lovable. Much like Beatrix Potter, this artist gives the creatures such endearment you will want to treat them with the best color mediums you own. There is an illustrated book cover that is removable and can also be colored. I plan to color it and then, when I've completed the whole book, put it back on and display it on my coffee table. Honestly, it is that precious! There is a little bit of issue with the designs migrating toward the book's spine, but not as much as some other coloring books I've purchased. I think it won't be too great a problem. This is primarily animal figures in various settings ( not all forest as the title implies ) with beautifully drawn settings that are detailed but not unbearably detailed. The paper is a good weight and off-white but not quite cream colored and the drawings are clear and distinct. There's a larger than usual variety of animals used in the illustrations which is fun to discover. As usual, the Japanese with their art, have hit it out of the ballpark!!
