Art of Coloring: Tsum Tsum: 100 Images to Inspire Creativity Paperback – Coloring Book, January 31, 2017

While the designs in this book are about Tsum Tsums, there are some pages that are surprisingly "intricate" (examples in attached photos). The paper is not too thin and not as thick as a cardstock. Every page is perforated really close to the binding. You can rip individual pages out, but be careful! The perforation is hidden pretty well. One main con about this book is that the pages are double sided (unless that doesn't matter to you). So if there is any bleedthrough it'll show on the other design. Moving on to the medias that can be used. I've tested watercolours, alcohol markers and COPIC markers, fineliners, Pilot Frixion markers and highlighters, and water based markers. Most alcohol/COPIC markers WILL bleed through. Everything else that I listed will work fine as long as you don't oversaturate the paper. Which brings me to the next thing, paper pilling. As with any water based markers, the paper will start pilling (coming off in little chunks) if you keep colouring over the same area. Eventually, this will tear the paper. Next up, some minimal watercolours are fine. The paper will not warp much so long as you are brushing very little water on it. Thus being said, watercolours cannot be layered on this paper without some negative consequences. If you are using watercolour coloured pencils, however, you should be mostly fine. Overall, I'd say this book is well worth the price and is a great buy.TL;DRPros:- paper isn't flimsy- every page is perforated- there are a bunch of designs to fill in- designs aren't too extreme nor too simple (i.e., the designs are rather time-consuming and not basic geometric shapes blobbed together)- handles most colouring media pretty wellCons:- designs are printed on both sides- heavy to oversaturation will cause bleedthrough- water based markers will pill the paper over time- might be hard to find the perforation which could cause pages to rip incorrectly if you are trying to remove a pageI might update this review over time if I decide to use more/different media or a numerous amount of various brand names. I mainly used Prismacolor, COPIC. BIC, Pilot, Staedtler, Crayola, and Kuretake to test out my first impression.

My daughter saw this at a local bookstore and wanted it, but it was so much cheaper on Amazon. The pictures are great and there is a variety of pages to color. She was super excited to see a Tsum Tsum coloring book that wasn't made just for little kids. This would be a great gift for anyone that loves Tsum Tsum's.

So cute! I collect tsums tsums, and this coloring book is a nice addition. The pictures are not as detailed as some of the other Disney coloring books, but that's more than okay with me! There are lots of images to color, and includes the tsums that are most loved, as well as some that are less well known. It's fun!

This is a great coloring book. Pages are good quality paper and perforated for easy removal. The variation in designs is great and includes some lesser characters (Scrump, Art, etc.)

The media could not be loaded. Attached to this review will be a silent flip-through of the entire coloring book and some photos so you can make an informed decision as to whether or not it will work for you.The designs in this coloring book are very cute and represent a number of the Disney Tsum Tsum designs. I would have liked more characters as after 124 of the same twelve or so, it became somewhat repetitive.The designs span from detailed to very simple. There are many wall-paper (repeating pattern) designs and there are really nice character studies. The designs range from simple line drawings to those where there are heavy lines and heavy use of black. Most of the designs have a bit of a wild background.The book is part of the “Art of Coloring” series and has changed format in a number of ways from the earlier books in this series. This book has a soft cover, is smaller, has thinner paper, has glue binding and has perforated pages. A nice change is that the designs are limited to one page (no two-page spreads.)The book is sized smaller at 10 7.8 x 7 inches (compared to approximately 11 1 /2 x 8 inches. For those who like to scan and print their pages on better paper, this will make it easier as it should work with most standard scanner/printers.The soft cover is okay but I would have hoped for a better value on the book if the quality of the publishing was being diminished. That is also true of the paper. This books has medium weight paper (compared to the heavy weight of the earlier books.)This is what I found while coloring in the book and testing my color medium on the paper.124 Disney Tsum Tsum inspired Design pagesPrinted on both sides of pagePaper is medium weight, white, very slightly rough, and perforatedGlue bindingMany designs extend across the perforations, some into the binding. The book can be opened fairly flat by breaking the spine.Alcohol-based markers bleed through the paperWater-based markers leave colorful shadows on the back of the page and can bleed through in spots.Gel pens and India ink pens left anywhere from colorful shadows to indistinct shadows on the back of the page but even at best, where still noticeable.Colored pencils worked well with this paper. I was able to get good, deep pigment. I could layer easily using both the same color and multiple colors. Blending was okay though the tooth of the paper was not optimal (a little smeary). I was able to blend with a pencil style blending stick.

Love it! Pictures are super cute. It has a good variety of characters in it. I also love how the pages are perforated. I recommend this coloring book for any Disney lover.

Paper is thin, so if you use markers they will bleed through. But lots of cute pictures!

I love this coloring book so much. Some adult coloring books overwhelm me by how intricate the details are, so this book was a relief when it didn't have any. Some people don't like the repetition in some of the pages but I think that the repetition made it easier for me to relax. I could zone out more without worrying that I would ruin the image.
