Creative Haven Grumpy Cat Hates Coloring (Adult Coloring Books: Pets)

The media could not be loaded. Grumpy Cat has such a cute little face, I knew that I would have fun coloring in a book dedicated to her. While I'm sure Grumpy Cat is a sweet kitty, her face seems to show superior attitude all of my cats have exhibited towards me over the years. I've had cats as pets for most of my adult life and recently lost my last kitty to old age at age 19 years. I miss my little friends from over the years and coloring kitties is my way of remembering them.Grumpy cat is the central theme of each of the designs. In some designs, there are abstract elements that surround her. They kind of remind me of a Klmit painting (another favorite of mine.) Other designs have an element or two which are floating around her in multiples. Some of the elements include sushi, junk food, fruit, and even calendar days showing Monday.The designs are not intricate but they are detailed and include abstract parts that you have to concentrate on to color. I had a lot of fun coloring my first project which was one of the ones that seemed a little more abstract in nature.This is what I experienced while coloring in this book and testing my coloring medium on the paper. In the comments section below, I will list the coloring medium I used for testing this book and which I usually use for coloring in my books.31 Grumpy Cat Designs with lots of doodle embellishmentPrinted on one side of the pagePaper is medium weight, white, lightly rough and perforatedGlue bound but you can easily remove pages at the perforation at perforationsDesigns stop before the perforationsAlcohol and water based markers bleed through to some degreeGel pens and India ink pens leave shadows of color on the back of the pageColoring pencils work well with this paper. Both wax and oil based pencils lay down good color, layer and blend well. Hard lead pencils leave dents on the back of the page.I usually take my pages out of these books for coloring. I suggest that or that you use a blotter page of card stock or several sheets of heavy weight paper to keep ink from seeping further into the book.

The designs in this thing are great! I bought one as a gift and loved it so much, I immediately got one for myself. Ugh. It's disgustingly cute. The pictures are pretty detailed, adorable, and creative. The pages are a good weight and single-sided so you can go to town with the gel pens and not worry about seepage. I don't get seepage for the most part (some gel pens will seep through, but it's OK because it's single-sided). I haven't tried coloring with pencils, but it's probably just as awesome as with gel pens. Just flipping through this book makes me smile. Also, the pages are perforated, which makes it easy to tear them out cleanly. Yay!

I absolutely love this coloring book. I am grateful that the artist who created the art for me to color is a true artist! He also does a great job playing homage to some famous artists, such as Klimt.Of course, he does a great homage to Grumpy herself, who I just adore.My only complaint is that the paper is a tiny bit thin and some markers bled through. Be sure to put a piece of paper behind whatever you are coloring to make sure this doesn't happen.10 stars for the art. :)

As previous reviewers noted, the print quality is surprisingly low. It looks like a book of photocopied pages with designs that include odd greyed-out sections, limiting the coloring areas. Some of the patterns are really strange combos that aren't coloring-page friendly. There's a basic cat shape with themed filler images, like umbrellas, that look more like a Magic Eye image than a coloring page.Overall, I've been disappointed with the quality of various Grumpy Cat products I've bought, but gift recipients always seem happy just to see the feline. This coloring book should feature better prints, but it does a good job appealing to a broad age of fans by including intricate and simple designs on medium-weight paper.

Bought it for a coworker as a gag gift. Loved it!

Wonderful , it reminds me of my recently departed kitty who was nicknamed "Mr Grumpy" by the vet, so many wonderful pictures and memories! Thank you so much!

I think this coloring book has seriously been the best coloring book I've seen in my entire life. All four of us in our family (Ages 8-43) have done one or more and they are currently hanging on our fridge. A fun and easy activity.

Image quality is just OK. Definitely not on par with highest quality adult coloring books.

great designs with adult flare.

A must have for all grumpy cat fans. My 11 year old loves colouring and loves grumpy cat so this was a fabulous stocking filler.

A gift but the recipient loved it.

Bought as a stocking filler, Daughter loved it. thank you

another great book
