These little elements are spontaneously combined to create massive compositions depicting his everyday experiences or anything that inspires him.

Animorphia Sea and Sky: Selections from Kerby’s Bestselling Animorphia

Kerby has hinted at issues with his publisher which is why we are having to wait so long for the new book I’d imagine because he has changed publishers. If you are someone that likes one-sided images, then this might be the book for you.

A handfull selection of Kerby Rosanes’ work from the previous publication Animorphia. Reprinted into a smaller book of easy to pull out, frame optional, single-sided quality cardstock.

His first coloring book was Animorphia & Imagimorphia. then Mythomorphia. In the later books, Rosanes was able to publish with better paper so personally, I am enjoying those more than the first, however, the European versions of the book seem to have a nice paper in both. Exciting news, Kerby has a new book coming out, and this time it is one-sided! For those of you that struggled with all the double-page spreads in the first three, your prayers have been answered with his newest book Geomorphia joins Fantomorphia.

Johanna Basford has returned to her roots with her latest coloring masterpiece, “World of Flowers” This book takes you around the world in flowers using her grandfather’s old botanical book to draw from and adding that Johanna flair of whimsy and fun to each page. She has gone back to double-sided pages in this one (which I prefer as I adore her two page spreads and you get more lovely coloring for your buck.

World of Flowers: A Coloring Book and Floral Adventure by Johanna Basford

Johanna’s latest coloring book, “World of Flowers” is sure to delight her fans! If you look through the reviews on Amazon you’ll see quite a few interior photos of some of the unique and interesting flower-filled designs Ms. Basford has created. I was a bit worried that this book would be too much of a copy of “Secret Garden” but if you know Johanna’s background you know that she possesses her gardening grandfather’s botanical books so she has so many other flowers to use for inspiration. Some US colorists have complained that the binding in this book is not as good as in past editions but most likely the publisher has fixed those problems. One idea is to order the UK edition of the book via Book Depository which has free shipping every day.

Ivy and the Inky Butterfly: A Storybook to Color

I have just received my preview copy of this book and I am blown away! I keep thinking “This will probably be her last book, she’s covered everything that beautiful” but then she has a revelation and poof! Another book that could be the most beautiful of her collection yet. Many of the pages have the story written on them with an equal amount just illustrations. However, the storybook pages look like they are from an old bible where the pages each have illustrations depicting the story. I have a very excited Facebook LIVE unboxing video here and some giddy girly photos of the nameplate that Johanna personally illustrated for me. I had a BIT of a fangirl moment and might have cried a bit.. well I’m a cryer, but still it was magical to see my name illustrated by the actual Queen of Coloring, Ms Basford herself. You can see on my Insta here.

From coloring book queen, Johanna Basford comes a new spin on the world of adult coloring: a lavishly illustrated fable about a little girl named Ivy who stumbles upon a secret door leading to the magical world of Enchantia. Ivy embarks on a quest through its many realms in pursuit of her inky butterfly, meeting whimsical characters and discovering many wondrous things along the way. A charming story that interacts playfully with beautiful, colorable artwork in Johanna’s signature style, Ivy, and the Inky Butterfly is a one-of-a-kind adventure for readers of all ages to customize, color, and cherish.

Johanna Basford’s First Story Coloring Book Ivy & the Inky Butterfly

Ivy & the Inky Butterfly by Johanna Basford

This book is quite different from Ms. Basford’s usual size in that it’s more of a storybook size versus the large square format we are used to and of course her story is illustrated throughout. The book will have more pages than her others as well, around 120 at last count. Johanna has picked a crisp ivory paper that accentuates and compliments your chosen colour palette. The smooth, untextured pages allow for beautiful blending or gradient techniques with coloured pencils, or are perfect for pens, allowing the nib to glide evenly over the surface without feathering.

Butterflies are everywhere in Johanna’s new book so here are her tips and techniques for coloring in Flutterby’s.

Here’s a little lesson from Johanna on how to color one of the dragons in Ivy & the Inky Butterfly

Tutorial: How to Colour Dragons! by Johanna Basford

This beautiful new coloring book features loads of Cherry Blossoms and Johanna shows how she colors them in using her favorite coloring supplies.

Cherry Blossoms Tutorial for Ivy & the Inky Butterfly

Scottish illustrator Johanna Basford talks about her inspiration for her beautiful best-selling coloring (coloring) books “Secret Garden,” “Enchanted Forest” and “Lost Ocean” Inky Quest & Colouring Books.

Watching the video below you will hear Johanna’s story from her own lips and get to hear the wonderful Scottish accent as well. She talks about her inspiration for the two coloring books so far being from her childhood. Her grandfather was the master gardener at a castle and lived in a home with a vast enchanted forest just behind it. How glorious! In her bio, she states:

I’m an illustrator and ink evangelist who prefers pens and pencils to pixels. I create intricate, hand drawn illustrations predominately, although not exclusively, in black and white.
My creativity is cultivated by a curious imagination and a delight in the fantastic. Much of my work has roots in the flora and fauna that surrounded me growing up on my parent’s fish farm in rural Scotland.

I graduated in 2005 from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee with my degree in Printed Textiles and a portfolio stuffed with monochrome silk screen prints and drawings. Following that, I set-up my little studio and began on my mission to vanquish the vector and champion the (wobbly) hand drawn line.

Every piece I create starts life as a simple pencil sketch, evolving into a rambling pen and ink drawing usually spanning several sheets of paper. I love the tactile nature of the materials I use and the joy of smudgy fingerprints. My delicate hand inked designs intend to charm and delight, inviting you to peer closer and discover the hidden intricacies.

For me, computer generated graphics can feel cold and soulless whereas hand drawing captures a sense of energy and character which no pixel can ever replicate.

Secret Garden Coloring Book by Johanna Basford SAMPLE pages

The cover of the Secret Garden is lovely with metallic gold accents. It is removable and ready to color and it reveals another huge intricate drawing of flowers also ready to color.
“Secret Garden” is at the top of the Amazon Best Sellers list as well as the New York Times list. “Enchanted Forest” is not far behind. “Secret Garden” has sold 2,000,000 copies.. yes you read that right… two million copies.

In her interview below I love how she feels about coloring books being a collaboration with the colorist .that’s the cool word we grownups call ourselves when we color in coloring books now)

People often ask which of the two coloring books they should purchase. I advise them that if they love flowers then “Secret Garden” is the place to start.

“Tumble down the rabbit hole and find yourself in my inky black and white Wonderland… Johanna says…”My creativity is cultivated by a curious imagination and a delight in the fantastic. Much of my work has roots in the flora and fauna that surrounded me growing up on my parent’s fish farm in rural Scotland.”

Secret Garden Colouring Book by Johanna Basford

The very detailed two-page spreads of Johanna’s beautiful designs may well take you several days to over a week to complete depending on how much time you have to spend… that’s OK! Coloring isn’t a race.. in fact, just the opposite is true. Adult Coloring is all about slowing down… unplugging… and losing yourself in the calming world of color and the magic of creating beauty. This isn’t art class where you are graded.. do you want to make all the leaves on the tree pink? Fantastic! The butterfly blue… perfect choice… use the colors that speak to you and make your soul happy. Sometimes I will just sit and turn the pages of the Secret Garden.. some of the pages I’ve started and haven’t finished yet, that’s ok too. It’s YOUR book! It’s YOUR journey and its YOUR choice.

Johanna Basford’s first adult coloring book, Secret Garden, has been translated into 14 languages, outselling the most popular cookbook in Paris. “I love the idea of chic French ladies shunning saucepans for coloring pencils,” says Johanna.

Johanna basford illustrated coloring book enchanted forest

If you love green and tree’s and owls…. then you should journey into the “Enchanted Forest first.

The one thing I had trouble with in the first book is where Johanna would leave pages blank with instructions for you to fill in the illustration. I’m not the amazing artist that she is so I skipped those pages. She doesn’t do that in the Enchanted Forest book so I’m sure she read the thousands of reviews written by coloring enthusiasts across the world. This book has 9 square images hidden throughout the illustrations along with dozens of other hidden surprises for the colorist to find as they are exploring the pages… towards the end of the book, you need those secret keys to open the gates to the secrets that lie beyond the castle gates with the finale of the book being two huge double-spread illustrations for you to discover. It’s brilliant. If you get tired of green leaves and trees… imagine it’s your own Alice in Wonderland forest and paint the leaves blue and the tree’s purple.. it’s ok.. it is YOUR Enchanted Forest to play in.

Just take a look at the fun images you’ll be playing within the forest.

Just look through this lovely illustration closely.. you’ll see a basket of blackberries hanging in the tree a spider’s web, butterflies and a wee door leading to??? Something magical for sure!

enchanted forest coloring book by johanna basford

“Enchanted Forest” is another magical coloring book that takes colorists through an enchanted forest to discover what lies in the castle. Similarly interactive like SECRET GARDEN, ENCHANTED FOREST also features hidden objects and fun mazes. Beginning at the entrance to a fairy-tale forest, the journey progresses through highly embellished woods and through intricate flora. Castles, treasure chests, and other magical elements add a fairy tale narrative to the designs. Special features include a gate-folded two-page spread and a colorable jacket. Source: Amazon
Amazon Reviews

Johanna believes that giving some designs away for free before her newest books are available was what helped launch her amazing global success. So if you have been unable to get your hands on the “Enchanted Forest” here are a few free downloadable PDFs to keep you happy.

The Secret Garden took 9 months to complete as Johanna was still working as a commercial illustrator while she created it. In this fun interview, Johanna shows how she creates her images and shares her recommendations for pens and pencils to use to color them.

Johanna Basford’s recommendations for supplies to use to color her books are:

Staedtler Colored Pencils

Johanna really likes these colored pencils for use in her books because you can sharpen them to a very fine point and they blend nicely. They have a coating around the led that produces less breakage than other pencils. Click here to Order US ~ UK ~ Canada

I was set a gorgeous tin of 36 Staedtler Ergosoft Colored Pencils from the manufacturer and I adore them, however, they still don’t seem to be available to the public. The tin has Johanna Basford designs on it so it’s even more special. As soon as they are available I’ll alert everyone on social media.

Johanna also recommends Staedtler Pigment Triplus Liners because of their vibrant colors that really pop and are very fine-tipped so you can get in the details needed for her books and they do NOT bleed through the paper. In fact, none of the suggestions below will bleed through the nice thick paper in Johanna’s books.

Click to Order Amazon US, UK or Canada

Staedtler Triplus Fineliner Pens – look for the set with the stand-up case that is very handy for your coloring station at home or when you take them with you as well as keeping them protected. There are 2 larger sets but they don’t come with their stand up plastic case which I adore.

Click to Order: Amazon US ~ UK ~ Canada

30 Staedtler Triplus Fine Liner Pens

Staedtler Triplus Fine Line Markers Set of 42 Colors

A new addition to the Johanna Recommended supplies is these Staedtler Metallic Markers. Ms. Basford always has fun metallic details in her drawings like a mouse door in a tree complete with cool hinges and doorknob or jewels in a rabbit hutch. These metallic markers would be perfect. These are not fine-tipped and are quite opaque so use with care.

These Metallic Staedtler Markers are a joy to use. I rave about MY favorite metallic & sparkly pens below!

Many colorists in the Inky Facebook group also recommend Stabilo 88 Fine liner pens. They don’t bleed through and are quite fine

Daria Song’s Gorgeous Imaginative Illustrated Coloring Books

March 1, 2021 By Addicted Colorist 14 Comments

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, 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.

The tabby cat you see in this image is throughout the book for you cat lovers that 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 on a magical journey to distribute gifts around the globe. 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 or Book Depository Worldwide.

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.

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.

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 is going to want it for 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!

February 12, 2021 By Addicted Colorist 3 Comments

Hanna Karlzon has done it again!

Hanna Karlzon lives in Umeå, Sweden where she enjoys the nature and wildlife that surrounds her as you can see from her coloring book subject matter. Each of her books is printed as a real hardbacked book with glorious paper to color on. Each page is two-sided so do take care with your coloring mediums but the paper can handle quite a bit of layering and even careful watercolor application.

Tales from the Forest Kingdom Coloring Book

This book’s original title in Sweden is Skogsriket. In Hanna Karlzon’s newest coloring book, you are invited to a magical kingdom in a forest full of elaborate flowers and trees and whimsical animals and their abodes.

This gorgeous book will be in her signature size and printing style, a hardbound “keep forever” type of coloring book we just don’t find in the US. Hanna shares that the inspiration for Jewelry Box aka Smyckeskrinet is an old Edwardian house and its garden. Hanna’s one of a kind style put to subjects of people, animals, flowers, clocks, and vases reminiscent of the turn of the century. We can’t wait to get our hands on it, as always, we might have to snag the Swedish version as well. This gorgeous Swedish Coloring Book launches August 21, 2018 in the US.

The Magical Lands of Jane F. Hankins

January 22, 2021 By Addicted Colorist Leave a Comment

Welcome to the Imaginary World of Jane F. Hankins Coloring Books. I believe that you will be just as enchanted as I was after seeing the first book. Jane’s books are professionally published on thick artist paper and several of them are huge oversized books suitable for framing and giving as gifts. Most books contain 25 single-side, 11″ x 14″ prints of original drawings, on HEAVY 80lb. Cover Stock paper, created specifically for this book! Pages are perforated for easy removal, display, and framing.

This is adult coloring, for adults who appreciate real art, not hastily drawn elephants or flowers, filled with computer-generated polygons.

Each book has its own theme and magical qualities so take a look. I have video flip throughs of a few and I’ll link to Jane’s social so you can see even more wondrousness.

Santa’s Magical Christmas Helpers

In this book, she illustrates the spirited antics of Santa’s Helpers. These merry wee Elves have their own version of “The 12 Days of Christmas”, which is quite charming… even if a bit unusual. See how they go about decorating and placing toys under the tree – sprinkling their special Elf Magic wherever they go!

So, take a break this busy season and color your new Christmas Heirloom. I guarantee you will catch yourself smiling!

Jane Hankins books are just a treat, below you’ll find links to each along with a few flip-thru videos. We think you’ll fall in love like we did.

The Imaginary Garden – A Fine Art Coloring Book

Take a look at my flip through back in 2017. You literally can HEAR how thick and unctuous the paper is.

I have all but two of Jane Hankins coloring books, that alone says a great deal regarding how I feel about her art. These books truly are, as noted on each book, “fine art coloring book(s)”. At first glance they may appear to be on the expensive side. But the old saying;”you get what you pay for” definitely speaks volumes in this case. The art is truly beyond adorable. You will smile even when you are just thinking about these books.

If you aren’t familiar with her books they are quite remarkable. A HUGE size 11×17 on 80pound artist quality paper. So, if you’ve been frustrated that you can’t use your fancy markers or paints, this is the book to do that all in. Each of the pages in all her books are perforated and spiral bound. Yes, they are more expensive than your average coloring book but once you have one in your hand you’ll know why.

When we feature an artist we like to give our colorists a little peek behind the artistic genius in our Meet the Artist Q&A.

Q&A with Jane F. Hankins – Illustrator, Author, Artist

Q1. What do you enjoy drawing the most?

Adorable characters and creatures that dwell in the land between my ears. In other words, all my drawings are from my own Imaginary World. What you are seeing in the coloring books are the creatures I love, and they are what I enjoy drawing the most.

Q2. How did you get started?

I was creative as a child and that started it all! I had lots of crayons, paper, and playdoh and by the age of 4, I declared myself an artist… as well as a dancer and singer. By the time I was in my second year of college, I decided I would concentrate on visual art. I did art sales as a student, juried arts and craft shows and then galleries and museum exhibits. Now, I’m delighted to be creating coloring books that allow collaborative art with colorists from around the world.

It had not occurred to me to do a coloring book until my daughter suggested it in 2017, “Just do what you draw!” Then my dear cousin, Meg, said, “I’ll make it happen!” And that she certainly did!

Q3. Who or what has inspired you?

Literature is an inspiration! Everything from Harry Potter to Fannie Flagg’s wonderful novels has influenced my work. Nature and music are always excellent sources of inspiration. Artists that have inspired me include illustrators Hillary Knight and Maurice Spendak, Garth Williams, who did the Giant Golden Book of Elves and Fairies that my aunt gave me when I was six years old.

Q4. What materials do you enjoy using?

When I draw I use Micron or Stadler drawing pens. I also love watercolor and color pencils for works on paper. All my artwork is original. I draw freehand, and nothing is computer-generated, enhanced or projected. I work in sculpture, paintings, and drawings. I sculpt using porcelain and stoneware clay which I “cold finish” with acrylic paint and sometimes embellish with found objects (marbles, beads, buttons…). The paintings are acrylic on canvas.

Q5. Do you like to color in your designs or prefer to have others do that?

Prior to developing coloring books, I only colored my own drawings. Now that I’ve developed 8 print books and 3 digital books, I’m so busy drawing that I don’t have as much time to color. I really LOVE seeing how others interpret the drawings and the incredible talent when coloring them. I’m always delighted and surprised by the amazing work of the many colorists that share their pictures.

Q6. What supplies (brands) do you recommend for your book(s)?

As far as a brand, I recommend Prismacolor pencils. I use different brands of watercolor paint, but I only use it sparingly. I’ve seen on social media works that use alcohol markers and other various mediums, and I think they look beautiful!

Q7. What is your favorite coloring book other than your own?

Kerby Rosanes specifically Mythomorphia. I love the detail and creativity of the drawings especially the dragons.

Q8. What is your favorite thing to do when you are not doing your art?

When I’m not creating art, I enjoy writing on my novels, reading, being outdoors, going to movies and, of course, creative playtime with my husband and my granddaughters!

Q9. Who is your favorite coloring book artist?

Kerby Rosanes is my favorite coloring book artist. I’m fascinated by his work and the juxtaposition of the imaginary creatures, with castles and buildings coming out of them. As an artist, I appreciate that they are not computer-generated and are original works.

Q10. Can you tell us about any other projects you are working on?

My current project is an angel-themed coloring book. Over the past 2 years have been doing a series of paintings of “Our Better Angels”. I’m also looking forward to illustrating and writing a children’s book with my husband. On top of all of that, I’m working on the third volume in my trilogy of “The Peavine Chronicles“.

Bonus Q – Anything else I should be asking you or other artists that would be interesting for your fans or future fans?

Perhaps ask them the importance and/or impact on other mediums artists work with. For me, I’m working in writing, painting, drawing and sculpture and this results in more options as far as artistic expression. Each area inspires artworks in a different medium.

One little known fact about me is I’m fascinated by theoretical physics. It’s a great exercise for the imagination.

Millie Marotta is one of the “must buy” illustrators if you are a dedicated coloring book addicted colorist.

Her images are quite different and distinct from other illustrators, you will recognize her books in an instant once you color in one. Many that are new to coloring see all the signature Millie Marotta tiny spaces and think they need to color each one individually.
