Reviews
I enjoy both reading and coloring Brothers Grimm Fairy tales. This coloring book, by artist Forest Diver, has 40 different designs from a wide variety of tales. There are beautiful maidens, heroic young heroes and a few unpleasant villains. There is Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Snow White, Hansel and Gretel and much more. Most tales have two or more designs dedicated to them.It appears that Okami Coloring and Storytroll publishing companies are somehow connected as they list both publishers books at the end of this book. I really appreciate the quality of their artists though the CreateSpace paper always leaves something to be desired. I also appreciate that they have included the actual artist's name though they seem to be developing a specific name (Julia Rivers) to cover the coloring books they deliver. This is similar to what another publisher has done with the name Jade Summer.The designs are detailed but do not, for the most part, include intricate elements with lots of tiny spots to color.This is what I discovered while coloring in this book and testing my coloring medium on the paper:40 various Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale DesignsPrinted one side of the pagePaper is typical inexpensive quality by CreateSpace printing: white, thin, slightly rough and non-perforated.The designs do not merge into the binding. While most of the designs do not have a framing line at the outer edges of the designs, the rest have finished elements at the edges for ease of coloring.Glue BindingAlcohol-based markers bleed through the page quickly.Water-based markers bleed through in spots.Gel pens and India ink pens leave shadows on back of the page. India ink can bleed through if you apply heavily or multiple coats.Coloring Pencils work well with this paper. I found that I could layers the same color for deeper pigment or multiple colors and I could blend easily using a blending stick. I tested both oil and wax based pencils. I also found that hard lead pencils leave dents through the paper.I like to use a blotter when working in the book. I use a page of card stock or several sheets of heavyweight paper under my working page. It keeps seeping ink and marring dents from ruining the pages below.
