Pusheen Coloring Book (A Pusheen Book) by Claire Belton

Pusheen Coloring Book (A Pusheen Book) by Claire Belton is This is a cute coloring book for any fan of Pusheen. The adorable kitty is up to all sorts of fun activities in this book. There are designs which are easy to color (especially good for children or anyone with vision or fine motor issues) as well as more detailed designs. There is nothing too intricate and you won't need specialty tip pencils or pens to work with this book.I like many of the designs in the book. There are lots of mandalas and themed pages. My favorites are the seasonal mandalas â€" extremely cute!The book is printed on both sides of white medium weight, slightly rough paper, non-perforated paper. The designs do not spread across two pages but the design elements do merge into the binding on most of them. The binding is glued, so you will have to cut pages out if you want to remove them.I found that alcohol-based markers bled through the page quickly. Water-based markers and India ink pens left slight shadows on the back of the page. Some colors of gel pens also left extremely light, indistinct shadows. What I found that worked best was colored pencils. Both oil and wax-based pencils worked equally well. I was able to layer the same color for deeper pigment, layer multiple colors, and to easily blend using a pencil style blender stick.

Pusheen Coloring Book (A Pusheen Book) by Claire Belton is Adorable Pusheen pictures. I wish the pages were perforated so they were easier to remove from the book. Also, it would be nice if the paper was thicker or if images were not double sided. We will probably only be able to color 50% of the pictures due to marker bleeding. However, gel pens also work well and do not bleed through. See my images for an example- I colored autumn Pusheen but summer Pusheen was sadly ruined.

Pusheen Coloring Book (A Pusheen Book) by Claire Belton is Adorably cute coloring book with mostly large designs that are ideal for someone who isn't into super detailed coloring. The paper is a nice, thick paper with a slight texture to it that helps in laying down color. My biggest issue with this book is that because the images are printed on both sides of each page, there is a high potential for bleed-through and also shadows. I would not use markers in this book. Pencils go down nicely .. BUT .. if you use pressure to get a darker, more full color, you will have shadowing on the following pages from the black printing. It will probably help to place a plain sheet of paper behind the page you're working on, especially once you start getting a few pages filled with color. (The color will also shadow/bleed). Also, images are edge to edge, which can be problematic when trying to color the parts right on the edge of the sheet.Pages are not perforated, so they won't tear easily from the book. If you want to save a particular image, you'll have to carefully cut it from the book.

Pusheen Coloring Book (A Pusheen Book) by Claire Belton is I agree with others about the shadow/bleed-through/transfer/registration issue. Be careful. I am using loose 67lb bristol sheets under the page I'm working on as well as the subsequent 2 pages to be safe. See first photo: the blank sheet I inserted shows the pressure transfer very cleary, but you can also see it on the backside of the page before I realized it was happening. I'm using a Crayola 50 color pencil set marketed at kids for ~$9. This book is otherwise SO cute. Love! I even started to color the inside title page (2nd photo). Looking forward to the next volume! Thank you for this publication. 12/11 - Decided to use an x-acto to cut out the pages and color separately. This works quite well.
