Big Kids Coloring Book: Magical Mystical Menagerie60 line-art illustrations to color on single-sided pages plus bonus pages from the artist’s most popular coloring books This book (released 2018) is from the artist, Dawn D. Boyer, Ph.D., with full-page illustrations of animals, flowers, and inanimate objects framed in beautiful Baroque ornamental stylistic art frames. The artist has created a stunning array of Celtic crosses, flowers and floral influenced pictures, and Zendoodle-type of drawings to create beautiful line-art illustrations that range from simple to challenging to color. A full video of the illustrations and colored pages by the artist and cover contest entries is located at: https://youtu.be/vzk-ZBYtQkk The artist has labeled each illustration to assist the colorist in ‘identifying’ the center image and help decide the colors and hues to apply to increase the beauty of the line art. This book should appeal to all ages and ethnic groups. There are 60 line-art illustrations in this book as well as 26+ samples of line art from the artist’s other coloring books, for a total of over 85 images to color. There is also a list of coloring books in the back of the book that provides readers and colorists a ‘wish-list’ for purchasing the artist’s other Big Kid Coloring Books, ranging from line art to gray-scale (photo-based) coloring books. The book is standard publisher paper (60# weight) and non-perforated paper with glue binding. Colorists can choose to use dry media (crayons or colored pencils) or wet media (markers, gel pens, or paints). (It is advised to use thick blotter paper between pages to avoid bleed onto the next page to complete the beautiful and rich illustrations if the colorist uses markers, paints, or gel pens that bleed through paper.)
