25 x 2 Mythical and Beautiful Mermaid Fantasy Designs – printed on one side of page
“Mythical Mermaids” the latest fantasy coloring book by Selina Fenech. She is one of my favorite fantasy designers and this is my first book by her that is devoted to mermaids (though she does have an earlier coloring book with a similar subject.) The designs are of primarily mermaids though there are some mermen and a man or two who has been saved from a watery grave by a beautiful mermaid. Some of the designs include more than one mermaid but most of them focus on a single beautiful female. Once again with Ms. Fenech's books, I'm really happy that the book contains two of each design because it gives me the opportunity to explore each in different colorways. I generally go towards light and clean looking lines in my coloring but having a second copy of each design gives me an opportunity to try different techniques and darker colors and heavier shading. The mermaids are all gorgeous, of course. There is a hint of nudity but all of the female parts are well covered by hair and whatnot. The mermen are without shirts but that doesn't really matter in any case. There are no children in this book and most of the poses are highly romanticized while stressing the female form of the subject. For my first two projects, I chose to use alcohol-based markers. I have been using pencils to shade but for these two, I tried using my markers for shading as well. I will provide a more detailed description of the physical book below but here is a quick overview of what I found: 25 x 2 Mermaid Fantasy Designs Printed on one side of page Paper is white, thin, slightly rough (tooth) and non-perforated Designs do not merge into the binding and there is plenty of room to remove pages if you wish to do so. Glue Binding Alcohol and water-based markers bleed through the paper (though water-based is more spotty compared to alcohol-based) India ink pens and gel pens leave shadows on color on back of the page. Gel pens left dents on the back of the page. Coloring Pencils work well with this paper. I was able to put down good color, layer, and blend well with both wax and oil based pencils. Hard lead left dents on the back of the page. I recommend a blotter page below your working page to keep ink and dents from marring the page below. The artist has placed a “frame” around the majority of the designs in this coloring book. There are three that do not have the lines but for the most part have finished elements on the outer edges of the design. I really appreciate when an artist includes this thoughtful touch. It makes it easier for me to complete the project with a finished look and saves me time, trouble, and especially ink.
Another great addition!
Artist - Selina Fenech Pages - 108 Publisher - Fairies and Fantasy PTY LTD Book As with Selinas previous books, Mythical Mermaids is a subtle deep blue with a partially coloured image from the interior on the cover. The soft matte card cover is 27.9cm x 21.6cm and the book is 108 pages. The spine is glue bound, and quite pliable after some use. The paper is of moderate thickness and texture. A number of layers are easily achieved on the paper, with both oil and wax based pencils. Waterbased markers shadow, any other wet media will bleed. Make sure to have a few pages of standard paper behind the image to catch any bleedthrough. Images are single sided, and surrounded by a border to prevent the image from entering the spine. The facing page has the name of the image for easy reference to the original. This book contains , 25 different images, each one repeated, for a total of 50 images. Images As the title suggests, this is a book full of mermaids. The artwork has been converted from the original artwork done by Selina Fenech. The art style is consistent throughout the images. The artwork varies quite a bit, with singular mermaids staring through the page, mermaids embracing, spunky mermaids showing attitude, others swimming around a sunken ship. The line thickness is consistently thin throughout, although the artwork is clean and consistent, so it is not difficult to see and interpret the images. Intricacy varies a little, with most images containing smaller detailed areas and some larger areas perfect for blending and shading. Health The natural colour schemes that accompany mermaid/nautical scenes is quite soothing and would be very well suited for times of anxiety or pain, or just a low day. The fantasy theme is one of my favourites when you are in need of distraction, as the imagery and theme is perfect for escapism. Line thickness and intricacy means that those who have vision or fine motor skills impairments may struggle with some of these images, but as always, please do check the images and flipthrough before deciding. Thankyou for reading and I hope you have enjoyed this review, Batgirl xx
I LOVE this coloring book
I LOVE this coloring book! I am in my 30's and have always been teased about coloring because I love it so much, but the "adult" coloring books where you color abstract-ish pictures weren't exactly my thing. Honestly, my favorite coloring books were always Disney Princesses coloring books that I would steal from my nieces (shh....). But now I found these beautifully artistic adult-geared coloring books by Selina French and I couldn't be happier! The pages are single paged, also, so you could rip them out and frame them, or use them somehow. The only thing is I would still use a blocker behind the page if you like using markers. There is some bleed-through with markers, but I think that's probably to be expected.
It’s Mermazing
This book was everything I dreamed. The addition of the second set of pages is amazing because I always have so many ideas for the same picture and now I have the opportunity to express that! The only thing I would like to be different, is the thickness of the pages, they are slightly too thin to really be able to use a good set of markers on. Otherwise, great designs!
Loooooooove this!!!!
Selina is seriously my favorite artist when it comes to coloring books. Just amazing! It's so hard to choose which page to start on and I'm so glad there are two pages for each! I liked how in this book she has named a lot of the pictures, I know she bases most (if not all) on finished art that she does. I haven't tried a greyscale book of hers (or anyone's) yet but I hope my shading is decent enough - I do try a little. I just love these mermaids!!!! Wonderful :) (attached is a picture I started tonight after days of not being able to decide on a page and giving up instead of just picking one)
I love that there are two copies of each picture so ...
I love that there are two copies of each picture so you get the option to color it two different ways. Used markers, color pencils and gel pens and nothing bled through the paper. I went nuts buying coloring books and Selina Fenech is hands down my favorite! I even water colored some to give a cooler effect and still turned out amazing
Not adult. Maybe teen. For sure kid quality.
This is an adult book in the sense that it's a *little* provocative... But the lines are thick like a children's coloring book. I liked what I saw in the photos when I purchase but when I saw it in person nothing was screaming to me.. it's like... Eh. It looked like something I would print out online there was just nothing special about it. The thick lines are what bothers me the most. Even with the best technique it doesn't come out as good as it could be if she had used thinner lines. I also find it annoying that there's 2 copies of each page. I've never wanted to re-color a page even if I messed up. I honestly think they did it just to make the book look thicker and that makes me feel a little bit tricked. The paper used is crap. It even says in the beginning not to use any markers or pens and if you do place a paper underneath for bleeds. I use only gel pens and while it didn't leak through my gel pens didn't react well to the paper. I have the inkiest gel pens ever but with this paper they skipped often. Also wherever I drew it made the paper welt. When your finished with a page you have a piece of paper that's almost crumpled because it's so thin. You draw a line and it leaves a depression no matter how softly you go. The price is good for what it is I'm just more upset that this is called an adult coloring book. The idea here is great, just put it on QUALITY PAPER and use adult technique when drawing the outlines. I seriously believe this was drawn on a computer that I would've used in the 3rd grade. If you have to up the price to make that happen DO IT. Your drawings would be beautiful enough to be made in a quality more expensive coloring book. Right now as it is I would give this only to a 12-15 year old girl. I'm mad that I can't use gel pens without ruining the paper in the process. You pretty much have to use crayons with this and in that case it's for kids. Waste of money.
Best books!!
The Selena Fenech books are hands down my absolute favorite! I'm excited there's a new one out and I have all 5 of the regular ones. I LOVE that the pages all repeat once because of/when I mess up, I usually get so frustrated that I stop, but here, you can start over! BRILLIANT!
She has to be the best coloring book artist there is.
I haven't found anything I don't like about he books. She is a wonderful artist and I love that she has two copies of each picture so that I can try different mediums. I have gotten every one of her coloring books that aren't grayscale, they are next. She has just the right amount of detail without overdoing it. I just wish my coloring could do her the justice she deserves.
I really have enjoyed this book
I really have enjoyed this book. The pictures and nice to look at and easily colored. I have spent hours relaxing and enjoying this book. The thing I dont like about it, is that the pictures are doubled. I would have preferred different pictures to color throughout the whole book.
