Rooms of Wonder Coloring Book – Features

• available as US and UK editions
• the US edition, which I have reviewed, differs from the UK edition – it does not have fold-out flaps on the cover, the paper is white and the paper is apparently the same as used in the US in Kerby Rosane’s books
• the cover features gold foiling and has printing on the inside as well which can be colored
• illustrations are printed in a dull black with a medium line weight
• the coloring book is interactive with a key to find on each page
• nameplate page for you to color at the start of the book
• color palette test page (front and back) at the rear of the book
• the theme of the book is rooms and there are a variety of illustrations featuring rooms and scenes of rooms but there are many illustrations included in the book that don’t fit this theme
• there are illustrations with different levels of complexity and many smaller-sized images/elements for times when you just want to color quickly

Note –    Some colorists in the US have reported printing problems with their coloring book – black smudges, lines, and others have stated that they are unhappy with the change to the white paper, the paper feels smooth without any texture and some of the coloring products that they are using do not perform the same as in other books.

Johanna has published a post on Facebook addressing these concerns and is endeavoring to understand what has happened in the printing process so it can be rectified.

The book that I have does not have any printing smudge marks/lines and the paper although white has a faint texture to it.   You can see the mediums that I used on the color testing page in the video above.   I haven’t experienced the issues that other colorists have, no doubt due to different print runs.    If these issues are of concern to you, you can always order the UK edition from Book Depository here (free shipping).

About the author

coloringqueen

I'm Lea and I love everything to do with coloring! If it is a coloring book, a poster or even a bookmark that you can color in, I'm all over it. Of course, a girl has to have some pencils, markers, gelly rolls, pastels and what not to make those pictures pretty and I love those as well.

Whilst my coloring style lacks skill, I am enthusiastic and focused on enjoying the moment and having fun.

About the author

Johanna basford.

I'm on a mission to inspire the world to be creative!

Tumble down the rabbit hole and find yourself in my inky black and white Wonderland... I'm an illustrator and ink evangelist who prefers pens and pencils to pixels. I create intricate, hand drawn illustrations that adorn colouring books, coffee cups, trainers, walls, beer bottles and even walls!

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.

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. I'm on a mission to vanquish the vector and champion the (wobbly) hand drawn line.
