The Story of Pandora: A Fantasy Coloring Book

In this coloring book we follow Pandora through a dreamlike world full of weird and wonderful flora and fauna. The landscapes she explores are strange and beautiful, and though her adventure is very much based on Alice in Wonderland, Pandora is an interesting character of her own. Her mushroom-like dress, feather collar and ribbon ties/rabbit ears certainly are different than what we are used to seeing with Alice, and like the world that surrounds her, are a great pleasure to color.While this is an exquisite coloring book with every page full of whimsical and ornate illustrations, due to all of the small details, this is definitely a coloring book for those who enjoy coloring more complex designs. Despite the fact there is a large amount of white space on each page, the images are anything but simple. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell what a particular line is part of.Though I find the art incredible, other aspects of this coloring book could be improved. The paper is fairly thick and bright white, but the designs are printed on both sides of the page. This makes it impossible to use markers or gel pens unless you don't mind ruining the other side, as they go right through. Also, the pages are not perforated and quite a bit of the image is lost in the binding, especially when so many of the illustrations span two pages. Lastly, the frequent use of large areas of white space in much of the artwork is a bit of a letdown, but this is a more minor complaint.In the end, I wish this book didn't have art on both sides and had pages that could be removed easily, but it is absolutely worth buying for the gorgeous art. That is, if you don't mind coloring something with many small, but amazing, details.

Nice book with medium paper and cute images. The line work and detail can get a little small for my taste but it's workable. Medium weight paper. It's nice for what it is, it takes Pencil quite well

I have around 30 coloring books and I have to say this is at the top of my list, if not my very favorite!! The paper is excellent quality, the designs have everything from detailed to bigger coloring spaces in it and the story line is super cute. I really hope Kim Sun Hyun does more coloring books!

This book is so fun and weird all at the same time!It leads me to be creative and want to color outside the lines (not literally but figuratively).Phenomenal book!

So, nearly ever page is a double page spread where major elements are lost into the binding crease. I will probably never use this book for anything other than a tester. The artwork is beautiful so it’s a real shame that they put the book together in this manner.

Plenty of whimsical pages to color.

Beautiful. Gave as a gift

Bought for a Christmas present. Was very pleased when it arrived on time and the recipient loved it!

Aww my I’ve so enjoyed doing this magical colouring book .the details are just lovely and intricate quality of paper is excellent. Feel bad but my granddaughter saw it and so wanted it ....if you ask Granny she’ll get it for you so I’m buying another

Very nice colouring book.

Das Ausmalbuch von Kim Sun Hyun und Song Geum Jin enthält 30 doppelseitige Bilder, die in eine traumhafte Welt entführen.Die Motive sind anspruchsvoll, das wundervolle Cover-Motiv gibt es gleich zwei mal. Folgt man dem Original, sollte man sich qualitativ hochwertige Buntstifte anschaffen, um ein entsprechendes Ergebniss zu erzielen (ich male mit Polychromos dunkelrot, caput mortuum violett, purpurrosa hell...) Alice (Pandora) - hier nicht im blauen Kleid - lässt sich zwischen Versatzstücken aus der traditionellen Alice-im-Wunderland-Geschichte durch eine phantastische Tier- und Pflanzenwelt (enchanted-forest-Variante) treiben, eine moderne Interpretation. Ich habe das Buch gefunden, weil ich nach Ausmalbüchern aus Korea und Mangas gesucht habe.Dem Buch liegt eine Philosophie zugrunde (über vier Seiten), die unter anderem mit der Behauptung punktet: Kreativität ist das Geheimnis eines langen Lebens (na, ja), entstresst (wenn man nicht zu ehrgeizig und zielorientiert damit umgeht) , verhilft zu neuer Vitalität usw. Das hätte ich jetzt nicht gebraucht! zumal ich Ausmalbücher nutze, um Praxis mit Farben und Materialien zu bekommen.Die Bilder enthalten viele kleinteilige Motive (gut angespitzte Buntstifte sind hilfreich), bieten aber auch größere Flächen für Farbverläufe. Die Empfehlung im Buch lautet: sorglos mit den Linien umgehen. Das langwierige Ausmalen der Hintergründe ist nicht immer nötig, alles bleibt schwebend, losgelöst, leicht.Das Papier ist weiß, glatt, hat ausreichende Dichte für Gel Pens. Auch vorsichtiges Aquarellieren (nicht zu nass) funktioniert. Auf den letzten Seiten gibt es eine Übersicht über die Zeichnungen und deren Titel. Das Malen nahe am Falz ist schwierig und nervt. Trotzdem: Das Buch gefällt mir sehr gut!

Such a lovely book. The illustrations are pretty and not too complicated. Paper is thick enough for color pencil and a light hand at watercolor brush pens but alcohol markers will bleed through.

Es muy lindo , el papel es bueno , aunque no se si aguantara la tinta del marcador , la pasta es suave como encerada , contiene texto pero lo es algo tan poético . Llego rápido y en muy buen estado
