Cute! I want that book but i've already got too many. It's so neat when it's just leaves but an animal too.

Yeah I think at least some people have a different personal  "handwriting" while coloring, like I tend to pick the same color combos over and over again and have to make some effort to deviate from that.  

I got this book solely because of @Fascinated's posts here.    I had just pulled about 30 pages out of different books to color, so I haven't had a chance to do anything from this one yet.

There is no such thing as "too many coloring books!"

got so busy with the comment, I forgot to leave my own comment on the post.   You did this with colored pencils @Fascinated?   My colored pencils are never this vibrant.  What brand are you using?  How hard to you press while coloring?

I love everything you have posted from this book.   Did you ever finish that big cat that you posted the WIP of?   I've been waiting to see him turn up here  

This is gorgeous!  I love the beautiful colors and the way they all set each other off, yet complement each other and flow so smoothly.  It reminds me of a Roman mosaic!  Truly a lovely page...amazing job!

Yes, I tend to press hard with them, and sometimes go over everything to the point that I've really coloured it twice!  For this I used some Indigo brand pencils, which is a bookstore in Canada similar to Barnes and Noble. They are a bit more vivid than the crayola but have weird shaped tips. 

I posted a really bad photo of the finished cat under the other WIP post. But here he is again. I just can't get a good photo. It looks much better in real life. It ended up being a lot of work and I never really did fix his poor ears. 

Try taking the page out into natural indirect light outside to take a photo and don't use a flash. My page/art photos are coming out better that way. 

I love that fox picture so much! I think your color choices are perfect.

      I am playing around with some crayola watercolor pencils i found in our supply box. I used to draw then go over with a water dipped brush, I tried dipping the pencil tip in water and I get a really vibrant color. I know that prism color pencils are awesome but pricy.

weird, I went back and followed every post on the blog so I'd get notices and somehow missed this one on the WIP post.

It turned out really gorgeous!   I don't think the ears look bad in the finished one.
