Daria Song’s Gorgeous Imaginative Illustrated Coloring Books

Daria Song’s Gorgeous Imaginative Illustrated Coloring Books

The first time I saw one of Daria Song’s coloring books I fell completely in love with her illustration style.

These are simply GORGEOUS Adult coloring books.

DARIA SONG is an author and artist from Seoul, Korea. Winner of the Kyung Hyang Arts Contest, Song has a master’s degree in fiber arts and has exhibited at numerous galleries and museums in Korea, Singapore, Turkey, and Hong Kong. She spent five years of her childhood in San Francisco, California, before returning to Korea, and the sense of wonder and mystery that comes from living in a far-off place inspired The Time Garden.

Daria has gone and done it again, created a magical book that is completely different from anything else on the market. I received the book from her publishers and still can’t bring myself to color in it or cut out anything because it’s just that perfect. There are paper doll sets to cut out, puzzles to do, search for treasure and mostly just enjoying the amazing artwork throughout the book. This is much more than a coloring book. I did a flip-through for the members of the Facebook group here, so join us to see.

The Mysterious Mansion

A young girl, playing in the countryside, enters a mysterious mansion and must solve a variety of puzzles and riddles to get out. With a range of different activities—from dot-to-dot, to intricate mazes, to optical illusions and coloring pages.

The Time Garden A Magical Journey and Coloring Book

I was so excited to receive Daria’s first book “The Time Garden” from Amazon and it is spectacular, gorgeous, intricate, and whimsical I could gush on and on. If you like Johanna Basford’s style of illustration I think you will love these intricate coloring books too. They are completely different in subject matter yet for some reason they seem similar to me. Perhaps it is the luscious thick paper printed with pictures on both sides of the paper telling a story.

Daria Song’s Christmas Book  “The Gift” or.. “Night Voyage”

The third book in Daria Song’s “Time” series is available for pre-order in the US. Known throughout Asia as “The Gift,” or “All Gifts of the World.” The English version is called “The Night Voyage: A Magical Adventure and Coloring Book” I think I like “The Gift” better but I’m not in charge. I have seen Daria sharing images from this book since October and am beyond excited to get my hands on one of them.

Daria Songs Christmas Book
The Gift or All Gifts of the World or the Night Voyage are all alternate names for Daria Song’s Christmas book.
Daria Songs Christmas Book The Gift

The tabby cat you see in this image is throughout the book for you cat lovers who are also Daria Song fans. Her Christmas book follows the little girl on a new nighttime adventure when the conductor of her toy train comes to life and helps her distribute gifts across the world.

The Night Voyage is an evocatively illustrated story of a little girl who is swept away on the eve of her birthday by her toy train conductor, taking devotees of The Time Garden and The Time Chamber on an imaginative new adventure. The Night Voyage continues Daria Song’s wildly successful series with the beautifully intricate art that her fans have come to love, featuring a world of paper cranes, penny-farthing bicycles, trolleys, cityscapes, and hot air balloon-filled skies.

This gorgeous Christmas book is available on Amazon US – UK –  Canada Spain, Italy, Sweden & France 

In both of Daria’s books, you get to travel along with her to her childhood imagination and then out into the pages that her talented hands create and illustrate. This first book “The Time Garden” has a little red-headed girl escaping from a coo-coo clock and exploring the big beautiful world outside. My best advice is to not stick to a traditional color palette and let your creativity wander while you fill in these gorgeous illustrations with color. Order Online from US     UK     Canada  Spain, Italy, Sweden & France

A dazzlingly beautiful coloring book for all ages, The Time Garden will sweep you away into a whimsical cuckoo clock–inspired world, created in intricate pen and ink by the internationally best-selling Korean artist Daria Song. Then, explore the magical world outside the clock through the eyes of a fairy in the sequel, The Time Chamber: A Magical Story and Coloring Book.

Journey through the doors of a mysterious cuckoo clock into its inky inner workings to discover a magical land of clock gears, rooftops, starry skies, and giant flying owls—all ready for you to customize with whatever colors you can dream up.

The Time Chamber: A Magical Story and Coloring Book

Korean artist Daria Song’s sequel to The Time Garden takes readers on a visual journey into a magical nighttime world seen through the eyes of that same little ginger girl.

Time Chamber Coloring Book for adults by Daria Song

This second book in best-selling Korean artist Daria Song’s coloring series features the voyage of a fairy who, when the cuckoo clock chimes midnight, enters the human world. To the tiny fairy, everything seems enormous and magical, from the curtains to the chandelier to a mystical rowboat that takes her further into an inky adventure. Filled with the imaginative, intricately detailed illustrations Song’s readers have come to love, The Time Chamber presents a view of our world made new—and ready for coloring.

We are not kidding you need this book if you love intriguing detailed coloring books.  You probably should get two because someone else will want it as a gift once they see it.

All of Daria’s books feature extra-thick craft paper, ideal for non-bleed-through coloring, and the jacketed cover with flaps is removable and colorable. Special gold-foil stamping on the cover and spine and a To/From page make it perfect for gifting to adults and kids alike.

Daria Song’s Christmas Coloring Book “The Gift”

Daria has created an AMAZING Christmas Coloring book this year as well but it is only available in Korea, Viet Nam, and the Philippines right now. If you follow her on social media I’m sure you have seen many of the colored images. It’s fantastic and amazing and has everything wonderful about Christmas in it. At least Johanna gave us 4 intricate Christmas illustrations to color in this year but I am really hoping and praying for both these talented illustrators to give the UK and the US Christmas coloring books in 2016!

This is a picture from inside that Daria colored with Staedtler pencils & Staedtler fine liners

I just received Daria’s first book “The Time Garden” and it is spectacular. This gorgeous book has arrived! See the Instagram video below and images of the boat picture I’m working on first on the Coloring Book Addicts FB page.

Daria Song’s two books are in the large square format and printed on both sides of the luscious thick paper like Secret Garden. Here is a quick flip through of the Time Garden.

These are the four I’m excited about receiving… Let me know in the comments if I have missed any of your favorites.

    I see that you’ve used the staedtler karat aquarelles on the page with the girl in the tree. Did you use water as well, or is the picture shown dry colored? I’ve not seen the karat’s in use, but they appear to color gorgeously! I couldn’t tell though, if water had been used or not. The third book looks like one I will “need”. Lol. Her books haven’t really appealed to me previously, but a lot of people in my coloring groups order from Amazon Japan and other sites, and this book is really pretty. Just found your site today-will definitely be returning frequently. Thank you.

      I believe they were activated with water just looking at the depth of color. I’ve loved all of her books even though they are a bit intimidating, they are so enchanting.

        Oh, dear. Lol. I guess I read through the blurb too fast. I thought YOU had colored that picture–but now, from rereading, I see it is one the author colored. SMH! Sorry, that’ s what not getting enough sleep does to me! 🙂

    I have just bought The Time Chamber and The Time Garden, both printed in Italy, and the paper seems to be a lot softer and more porous than Johanna Basford’s books? Have you coloured any of the pages from the Daria Song books , yet? Would be interested to know if there is bleed through at all, before i start?

      Hi Denise, my two Daria Song books have paper very similar to Johanna Basford, I’m not good with markers so I haven’t used them but I have seen other people’s colorings that have used them. It sounds like your version may have different paper than the US/ UK versions though. As always I recommend using the last page in the book to test markers, gel pens and even colored pencils as I find there are certain papers that do best with certain pencils. Please share your colorings on our Facebook page.

        Hello!
        I’ve read that there are differences in the paper used in the different editions. I don’t know if this applies to Daria Song’s books but I know it does to Johanna Basford’s. I read some colorists’ comments saying that the paper used in the UK edition is better than the one used in the US (it has more “teeth”). So I’ve ordered all my coloring books from The Book Depository and taken care to choose the UK editions.

          I haven’t heard that about Daria’s books but yes for Johanna’s, particularly her first two. I think her latest two have very similar paper, she realized how picky we colorists all are! I still want to get a UK version of Secret Garden, but since I have two US editions (1 I bought and the other received as a gift) I figured I should probably just wait. 🙂

    Great, One of my favorite book from Daria Song books is “The time Garden” It’s a little different than most other coloring books that are out there right now. It is not only just a coloring book, it is also a story. There are some words to the story, but the pictures that you get to color are what really tell the story. It is a beautiful journey to get to take.
    Thank you.

    My absolute favorite coloring book in my collection is The Time Chamber. Daria Song created something that includes both of my favorite hobbies… adult coloring and reading. The actual book of course has no words but it starts off with a paragraph and then it’s up to you to make up the rest! Can’t wait to see her other books.
