It was especially helpful for me to see how she shaded the designs and they even list the drawing materials that she used to do so. I would definitely suggest getting this excellent book for taking breaks and relaxation."

[Debbie N · Rating 4 out of 5]

I received this cook as a gift for Christmas. I was intimidated at first because there are a lot of small spaces that are hard to color with colored pencils. I decided to try to color it with gel pens. It was so much fun. Since then I have also used very fine markers with some colored pencils. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is that it is almost symmetrical. Sometimes I will be coloring all like sections the same and one section will be slightly different.
