Antique Dolls Colouring Book

Although the pages are double sided, the images have nice thick lines and coloured pencils are fine. There are a few nice images to colour. I got it as I wanted to practise skin tones with coloured pencils so it's perfect for my needs. The faces are very similar but I think if you like dolls or fashion history this is a good book.

I am a 29 year old doll collector most of my dolls are antique, I am beyond obsessed with them lol. So when I seen there was a coloring book that had older dolls in it, I just had to have it, I am really enjoying my latest coloring book alot. Would definitely recommend to buy this for any doll lover!

I bought one of these years ago and enjoyed it immensely. Bought to put into a doll club raffle.

Pretty sketches. Coloring them is a pleasure. Great price.

I'm not typically a colorist, but couldn't resist this book due to the subject. Illustrator Brenda Sneathen Mattox did an excellent job with creating illustrations that look like real dolls rather than people, which I assume might have been challenging. I really like how she included crease details in the clothing, since those are helpful in determining where shading should go.There are such dolls as Jumeau, Bru, and Simon & Halbig. I would have liked to have seen perennial favorite Bleuette, but there are similar dolls included. The educational information is minimal, but it's a nice added touch that will make the book worth keeping.There's one notable negative, though! If you're coloring with colored pencils and doing shading by pressing hard, the black print on the opposing page works a bit like carbon paper and can ruin another picture. It helps to put a blank piece of paper between pages to protect the pictures from getting unwanted print on them.In the customer images section, I uploaded a colored page as an example.
