Extremely Detailed Fairy Tale Coloring Books

Korean artist Jae-Eun Lee does absolutely GORGEOUS illustrations and her coloring books have just been released in the US / UK Market. We are so excited to be able to share them. Please note that these books are not based on the Disney versions of these Fairy Tales but on the original books. I would consider these QUITE detailed so keep that in mind before ordering.

Color the Classics: Beauty and the Beast: A Deeply Romantic Coloring Book

Color your way into the Beast’s heart, in this visual retelling of the classic French fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast. The images are suited to more advanced colorists that enjoy details with tiny spaces and areas to shade. It is a two-sided book with the classic story told on various pages throughout and non-perforated. The paper is a quite nice heavyweight suitable for pencils, water-based markers or gel pens (be sure to leave time to dry). Alcohol pens will bleed through to the other side of the paper. Always put a piece of paper behind your work just in case and use the pages at the back of the book to test your particular pens. This paper and supplies review is for all of Jae-Eun Lee‘s Fairy Tale coloring books.

Color the Classics: Alice in Wonderland: A Curiouser Coloring Book

Another fairy tale coloring book from Jae-Eun Lee which has the story sprinkled on several of the 75 intricately drawn designs in this gorgeous book. For whatever reason, Alice in Wonderland seems to be the most popular coloring book choice for illustrators. The tale portrayed on these pages is the illustrator’s adaptation of the classic Alice in Wonderland.  A visual retelling of the classic Alice in Wonderland, with gorgeously detailed artwork for hours of coloring pleasure

The book has double-sided non-perforated pages with nice thick paper that takes pencils quite nicely for shading and blending. Water-based markers won’t bleed nor will gel pens. Please test your variety of coloring mediums on a back page just to be sure, you won’t want to wreck this gorgeous plunge down the rabbit hole.

Color the Classics: The Wizard of Oz: A Coloring Book Trip Down the Yellow-Brick Road

The Wizard of Oz takes colorists down the nostalgic yellow brick road, reimagining many of the story’s beloved characters in Jae-Eun Lee’s whimsical and highly-detailed illustrations. Enjoy hours of calming creativity as you re-experience this classic story like you’ve never seen it before. This book was released on June 7, 2016.

Color the Classics: The Snow Queen: A Frozen Fantasy Coloring Book

The latest fairy tale coloring book in illustrator Jae-Eun Lee‘s pretty line of colouring books depicting a lesser-known fairy tale in splendid detail. The Snow Queen invites colorists into the world of Gerda and Kai, two young friends whose lives are changed when they come across a magic mirror. Kai is whisked away by the beautiful Snow Queen, and Gerda must travel to her castle to rescue him. Artist Jae-Eun Lee bewitchingly renders the characters, landscapes, and settings from the classic tale in an unforgettable coloring book rendition. The Snow Queen was published on August 9, 2016.

The first of Jae-Eun Lee‘s coloring books isn’t as well-received as the previously highlighted ones because it doesn’t have as many pages to color as it does those that just illustrate the words of the story but the images included are fabulous so if you are an Anne of Green Gables fan you might want to check it out as well.

Tomoko Tashiro Illustrated Coloring Books

Tomoko Tashiro has illustrated several absolutely gorgeous coloring books. The one I just purchased is “Fairy Tale Coloring Book.” The illustrations are completely gorgeous, however, unless you like to color in very tiny detailed places this book may not be for you. I adore looking at other peoples’ colorings in this book but discovered it’s just not MY particular happy place to color in. Your results may vary. Little Red Riding Hood. Hansel and Gretl. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs are included in this book. Color in beloved characters and scenes from your favorite fairy tales, along with fantasy-filled flowers, animals, and landscapes.

The Fairy Tale Colouring Book (Japanese Edition)

is one I’ve been anxiously awaiting the release of. Japanese coloring books are quite different in style from their American and English counterparts and have delicate intricate designs in them, not recommended for new colorists unless you are up for a challenge or just want to gaze at the beautiful illustrations while you are learning colorist skills. The book is printed double-sided with medium paper, not recommended for alcohol markers as they will bleed through. Test all coloring materials on back pages before you try them on your project. According to reviews, the binding lays flatter on the US version but the paper is nicer in the Japanese version so you can take your pick. See my personal review of the US version above.

My Review, I adore the images in this book unfortunately the paper is just awful if you are a person who uses colored pencils for layering. You are going to need to copy your favorite images over to card stock!

Our UK Coloring Book reviewer Kemberlee Shortland is quite pleased with the Good Wives & Warriors Colouring Book. Here’s what she has to say. 

Escape to Wonderland – A Colouring Book Adventure

I not a huge Alice in Wonderland fan, but the story does take me back to my early years. Seeing a colouring book with this theme seemed like a lot of fun. I found a copy on the shelf of my local bookstore and decided to give it a go.

This is a smaller book than traditional books…a little more than 18cm/7 inches square. It seemed tiny compared to the larger books I’ve been coloring in, but actually turned out to be wonderfully manageable for when I color while sitting on the sofa.

I enjoyed most of the quirky designs. Many are distinctly Wonderland-inspired, while some are from the designer’s imagination. A few are a little weird, but fitting with the theme, although not directly taken from the book.

There is a good balance between easy and more difficult options which I liked. The paper is a thicker stock which means I can press harder and not destroy paper integrity. I used Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils and they worked a treat on this paper.

Again, paper quality showed up when I needed to erase the color…the black lines didn’t smudge or erase off with the pencil color. While the page held onto some of the color, this is natural for most pencils. Because this is a more rugged paper, I was able to lay down several colors when blending and saw little bloom from my soft pencils until I had over-layered the colors.

escape to wonderland coloring by Kemberlee Shortland

I tested pen bleed-through in a superfluous page in the book. Colored gel pens didn’t bleed-through, but felt tip pens did slightly…areas where I went over twice for better coverage. What helps protect from this happening is laying down a similar color in hard pencil, then putting the ink on top. The bleed-through is minimal.

Will I colour in this book again? Undoubtedly! I can’t wait to get my Shakespeare book next!

Alice in Wonderland Adult Coloring Book

The sexy side of the Alice in Wonderland fairy tale comes to life in this book by the same team that created the Grimm Brothers book. This book has the same bad paper as the others but has fewer actual Alice images to color because 15 of the pages are just pattern pages. A pretty big disappointment. The pages that are there are fabulous so if you are an Alice enthusiast it still might be worth adding it to your collection. I recommend copying to decent paper to color in these books.

Well, now you can find out – and take part.
