Doodle Mania: Zifflin's Coloring Book

The media could not be loaded.  This is the newest entry in Zifflin's Doodle series of books. I own several of the prior books and always have a ton of fun coloring the wild and intricate designs in these books. This book is by illustrator Rocky Villaruel. I really appreciate that each of the Doodle books is by an individual artist. While the subject matter of the books are similar (wild, quirky little creatures and strange bits of elements forming a larger design), seeing each artist interpretation makes each book unique.There are 50 designs in this book with lots of hours of coloring fun to be had. The designs are extremely detailed and many are quite intricate. I am currently using my sharp colored pencils to get to all the tiny spots to color.This is what I experienced while coloring in this book and testing the paper with my coloring medium.50 Imaginative Doodle Style line drawingsPrinted one side of the pagePaper is thin, white, slightly rough, and non-perforated. It is standard for any books published by CreateSpace.Glue BoundSome designs do merge into the binding areaBook opens fairly flat for coloring if you break or crease the spine.Alcohol-based markers bleed through the paper rapidly.Water-based markers bleed through in spots.Gel pens and India ink pens leave shadows on the back of the page which show colors easily. India ink pens can seep through in spots if used heavily or in multiple coats.Colored pencils worked nicely with this thin but slightly rough paper. I tested both oil and wax based pencils and got good color with multiple layers of the same color, good results from layers of different colors and nice blending results using a blending stick. Hard lead pencils easily dent through the page and can damage the page below.I suggest using a blotter page of card stock or a couple of sheets of heavier weight paper under your working page. It can keep seeping ink and marring dents from ruining the pages below.

Love these coloring books. While the pages are thin, they don't bleed onto the next page.

I love this coloring book and I'm so happy I decided to go ahead and buy it! Definitely different and is 100% Doodle Mania!

I’m excited to color in this book 💖 I own every volume of zifflins doodle books and they’re all amazing !

I am new to the adult coloring world but have fallen in love with it! Love the line; it is an explosion for the eyes!!

This was a gift

I had hoped the drawings would be more fun than they appear :-(

My granddaughter loved the designs in all their variety and complexity. Bought with a set of colouring pens it was enough to keep her occupied for hours during wet weekends. Some kids love this quieter activity as a break from racing around and being boisterous.Good value and quality paper.

Bin hochgradig enttäuscht. Das Papier ist das aller letzte für den Preis von 13,90 Euro absolut keine Kaufempfehlung.

Good book

not as good as previous Zifflin's colouring books

These books are so much fun and never ending. :-)
