Teacup Kittens Coloring Book (Design Originals) 32 Adorable Expressive-Eyed Cat Designs from Illustrator Kayomi Harai on Extra-Thick Perforated Pages that Resist Bleed Through

Cute cat coloring book! The pictures are large and crisp. Lots of different cats and teacups. The author also shares good coloring tips. Great buy for any cat lover. I highly recommend.

Quality, and a teaching tool

Very cute pictures to color.

The kittens are adorable. Looks really easy to do. I don't think I would want to ever send it back! One thing I like is you don't have to listen to the news, I been watching tv and coloring at the same time. Some people think I should take vacations instead!

I really like the designs in this book. The artist, Kayomi Harai is new to me but I will certainly be looking for her books after purchasing the two that are now available. The kittens in the book are designed in what seems to be a hybrid of line drawing and grayscale as much of the cat fur details are done in shades of gray. The kittens are adorable and range from those in teacups to fairy kittens, a kitten in bath and many other cute poses. In my first project, I used gray marker which almost completely obscured the shading so I will be careful with my use of gray in the future and use darker colors on the shading prior to using an all-over color to begin with. My only issue with the book has to do with the publishing. Designs Originals has, this year, begun “shrinking” a number of the designs to include coloring information on the design page. It's been disappointing to me as it renders to the designs harder to color by making the details too small. In this book, ten of the designs are reduced. I like the coloring information but think it could be limited to the colored sample pages or to a page of its own rather than reducing the coloring pages. Because of this issue, I dropped my rating a star from a five to a four. Apart from that, I am really enjoying the book. With these particular designs, shrinking has made the designs a bit more difficult to color but, thankfully, it has not made them intricate or too tiny to deal with. There are many pages, at the front of the book, with coloring hints and colored samples of designs as well. This is what I experienced while coloring in this book and testing the paper with my coloring mediums. 32 Kitten designs – 22 full size and 10 reduced size designs Designs are printed on one side of the page with cute quotes and journal lines on the back of the page. Paper is medium weight, white, slightly rough and perforated. It is also noted as acid-free archival quality. Glue Binding Designs stop before the perforations Alcohol and water-based markers bleed through the page Gel pens and India ink pens leave shadows on the back of the page. India ink pens can spot through as well depending on how heavily they are applied. Colored pencils work well with the paper. Both oil and wax based pencils provide good color, layer the same or multiple colors well, and blend easily using a blending stick. Hard lead pencils can dent through the page. I like to use a blotter page below my working page to keep seeping ink and dents from marring the pages below. I use card stock but two sheets of heavyweight paper work well, too. You can also simply remove pages before coloring to keep the rest of the book in good condition as well.

I love my coloring books 📕 helps to make me stop thinking and focus on my colors.

Adorable coloring book.

I love this coloring book. The pictures are so adorable and so much fun to color. I liked it so much I bought one to give to my elderly mom as well (who can use coloring to alleviate stress, who loves coloring, and loves kittens as much as I do!) Probably what I like most is the examples of many of the pictures which show the colors used to get the same effect. It has been fun to try to duplicate the pictures when I don’t feel like creatively selecting my own colors. I have the set of 132 Prismacolor Premier colored pencils so it was easy to find matches for the examples.

Lovely book and really like that some designs had suggestions of colours to use!

great coloring!

This book has very pretty pictures but there are too many precoloured as examples and some of the illustrations I find difficult but that’s just me. Beautiful cats throughout the book.

動物系 特に猫のぬりえが好きで、表紙の愛らしいイラストに惹かれて購入しました。裏表紙が折れていたのが少し気にかかりましたが、許容範囲かなと思います。中のイラストはどれも愛らしくて、どれから塗ろうか思案中です。
