INKLINGS colouring book by Tanya Bond: Coloring book for adults & children, featuring 24 single sided fantasy art illustrations by Tanya Bond. In this ... animals & other charming creatures.: Volume 1

I have found this colouring book to be very enjoyable and I love the different designs. It is suitable for both children as well as adults. The theme is mystical fairies, pixies, princesses, queens and each young girl has a fantasy creature. The pictures are all different and the spaces on the pages for colouring in range from small to larger areas. I found it really relaxing and enjoyable and I used copic sketch pens. The pages bleed if using alcohol inks but they are fine for waterbased pens/pencils or paints.The pages are not perforated so it would be advisable to be careful when tearing out the pages so that you do not tear them. The left side pages are blank.Each picture has a name, the one I enjoyed colouring in was called "Ugly Duckling" some of the others included names such as Winter rose, Hope, Luna and Robyn. The animal choices are all lovely and the details on the girl tie in with the animal, for example Queen of dragon and she has a small dragon.I enjoyed the 24 different designs in this book and look forward to Tanya's next book.I have added photographs for your convenience.

This is a really gorgeous book and I can't wait to get started on it. The paper quality is pretty poor, but the designs are printed on one side of each page only, so there's no worries about damaging the next image. Some layers of thick paper or card between the pages to protect them is an easy work around. None of the prints merge into the binding area and there's enough of a margin to cut them out if you want to. For anyone thinking of purchasing this book, I would advise that they don't let the paper quality put them off. The artwork is just so beautiful that I think it's well worth working around that one issue for the pleasure of colouring such wonderful pictures.

The artwork in this colour book is amazing, I absolutely love her art. And that's the only reason i am giving this five stars, The quality of the paper and book is not so good though. The paper is terribly thin, and the book feels very cheap and flimsy, Which is very disappointing for how much it cost to be honest. But with that being said Ive enjoyed colouring the pictures and will probably buy Inklings 2. But only because i just adore her art.

This is a very nice colouring book. There's many interesting pictures of girls, usually with an animal + trees + flowers in the background, to colour.The paper is decent enough but markers will bleed through so you'll need to put a few pieces of thin card behind the picture you are colouring to protect the picture on the next page.I'd never been a fan of the Inkling books but I decided to purchase the Astro-Inklings book + was hooked. I immediately purchased the other 3 colouring books in the Inklings series + was not disappointed.

Love these designs. Cartoony, but large enough for you to do your won shading in, which can be hard to find as a lot of adult colouring books try to be as intricate as possible. I like that too, but it doesn't leave you much room for creativity!

Gorgeous cover with thumbnails on the back for inspiration. The paper quality could have been better but I usually copy my books onto super smooth card so I can use my Copics. The images are lovely and fun to colour. One thought though...did it need to be A4? I copied mine onto A5 card and they were still easy to colour.

Great book but paper quality in this version is terrible, barley better than copy paper. A better quality paper version is available from her website but costs about £17.
