Grimm Fairy Tales Adult Coloring Book

Some of these images are going to be a challenge to color because of the thick black lines, but will give it a go

As an avid fan of coloring books I was very happy with my purchase of this book. I usually wait to order a coloring book until I can see what is inside of it (either in a store or from images posted by reviewer or the publisher), however, I took a gamble on the pre-order based on the cover alone and am I ever glad I did.Maturity Note: While there is no actual nudity the outfits in all of the images are as revealing as many of the adult women's Halloween customers I have seen in recent years. Its pretty ladies in sexy clothing, some slightly suggestive poses (i.e. on par with the lingerie section of a Victoria Secret catalog), and, I repeat, there is NO nudity. If I was uncomfortable with looking at a Victoria Secret catalog, or with the person I was buying this for doing so, I would not buy this. Simply put, if the image on the cover makes you uncomfortable then don't buy this book.The Images:I color a lot and am often frustrated by books that have a great image on the cover but very few good images inside. I was very happy to find that, of the 46 listed images, all but 5 of them are of the same style and quality of design as the image on the cover. The 5 of 46 "illustrations to color" advertised on the cover that did not match the cover style felt like section separator for the style of characters for that section. Of the 5 separator images only one, the card suits, felt overly simplistic and boring, however, it still fit with the theme of the images near it (Alice in Wonderland).The images are very fun and sexy, definitely an adult coloring book just as advertised.The Theme:The book does have a classic tales theme, however, some of the images I was not able to determine what tale they related to while other were clearly not related to any classic tale that I recognized and still others were steam punk. Maybe I am not as knowledge of classic tales as I would like to think but I was only confident in places 20 images into a respective tale, not that this bothered me since the other 21 images are still definitely on the same vain and fit the theme presented by the images themselves. I was excited to recognize some of the images from a few of my favorite artists on deviant art and the book could very well be considered an art book of black and white images with the quality.The Paper:I agree with M Holmes that, when using markers, the colorist would need to protect the other pages in some way from bleeding. Removing the pages is a good call to prevent this, I would suggest taking off the binding as the images go all the way to the binding (I bought a second copy just to do this), or using a thin piece of cardboard as a backing (I do this anyways for both testing markers and for page support). Pencil obviously does not have the issues of bleed that markers do and takes well to the paper. Regardless of coloring medium would recommend a supporting surface as the cover material is not as rigid as, for example, a Creative Haven coloring book.Conclusion:If you are an adult colorist that likes this type of art I highly recommend this coloring book for both its quality and quantity of content.Disclaimer:I purchased this book at full price and was NOT asked to write a review, likely because I rarely find things I consider worth reviewing. I do not know anyone involved in the making of this book or the creators of the art within it except that I have seen their artwork on deviant art. This is my honest review of this product as a highly picky paying customer.

Es un libro muy original con ilustraciones chulas y distintas,por poner pegas los dibujos parecen dificiles de colorear y en la mayoria no sabes a que cuento pertenece cada chica...algunas ilustraciones las vas deduciendo por los personajes pero otras es imposible.El gramaje del papel es tipo folio normal A4.

Love this coloring book. Me and my boyfriend like going thro it and trying to figure out which character to which fairytale. Lots of pictures to choose from bound to have the character your looking for. Good buy for the price for sure. Both me and my boyfriend enjoy this one. Good one to add to our collection.

Not as “adult” as expected, just a PG-13 type
