Pop Manga Mermaids and Other Sea Creatures: A Coloring Book

the pages are very of good quality and can sustain both water and dry colors.....for markers, there may be some bleeding.... the pictures in the book are very good ....

Too expensive.

Book content is itself beautiful.. But the piece delivered to me is not in good condition.. the cover and backcover seems little odd in color and turned out there was something greasy oily inside cover which results in stains on cover.. even invoice was translucent due to this oily thing..

Hermoso! Llego en perfectas condiciones

Haven't had a chance to start this book yet but know I am going to love coloring it when I do.

i have used watercolor to coloring this page. The paper can take a lot of water and can do color mix pretty good. It did get uneven after the water is dry . But I can still paint on it . I think it will get better after pressed under heavy books for a few days.

I am a huge fan of Camilla d'Errico and have the previous adult colouring book of hers. Again this is truly a fantastic book and i've already been having fun with it. The drawings are beautiful and well designed, couldn't be happier!

This is my second coloring book by Camilla d’Errico. The coloring book is filled with imaginative and unusual Manga style designs base on the artist original artwork. The main subject are the mermaid girls with their big, pensive eyes. There are other sea creatures, too, sometimes incorporated into the headgear of the girl. As with the first book, many of the images are simply headshots with unusual looks to them (including the unusual headgear.) There are full and partial body designs as well, most of which are printed on one page but some spread across two pages (more so in this book than in the previous one.) The designs and how they are printed are consistent with the first book and met my expectations. The artwork is, once again, unusual and inventive and will make coloring in this book fun. The designs are detailed and some are intricate. Coloring them is definitely akin to coloring artwork rather than simple line drawings. There is also more shading in a few of the designs in this book which border on grayscale. This is what I found in this book 70 pages of imaginative and unusual Manga style mermaid and sea creature designs Printed on both sides of the page Paper is heavy weight, white, slightly rough and non-perforated Glue binding Designs merge into the binding area and a number of them cross over the binding for a two-page design Book can be opened fairly flat but takes some effort and breaks the spine of the book. Alcohol-based markers bleed through the paper. If you use this medium, you will mar the designs on the back of the page with the bleed through. You can minimize the damage to just the back of the page if you use a card stock blotter below your working page. Water-based markers, India ink pens, and gel pens do not bleed through or leave shadows. Some gel pens require additional drying time. Colored 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 blending stick. I tested both oil and wax based pencils. My choice of medium with this book, as with the first by this artist, will be colored pencils.
