It's nice to see this book completed! It so happens this is one of the first books I was gifted last year when I started my coloring journey, and it's the book I'm working to complete as my first book to finish. I'm about 1/3rd of the way done, and I definitely have some pages I dislike already, but hey, that's what coloring is for. Trying stuff out, learning and growing and not everything will turn out a work of art and that's ok.

Yes! That’s a great ethos 👍 I think a book is complete when you have coloured all the pages you want to colour regardless of how many you don’t want to colour. Happy colouring!

I’m not one to finish most books. I have to like the picture to colour it, and I’ll try to only buy books I know I’ll colour enough to make it worth having. I love flip throughs for this very reason, and that is how I found you - I’ve been tossing up whether or not I want Worlds of Wonder and have been watching people’s completed videos to see what I could possibly do and if I would do them. I’m thinking I have enough Johanna Basford books for now, though, but it might go on my Amazon wish list in case family want to give it to me. Your book looks wonderful, and congratulations on completing it.

I absolutely loved watching this. I like your opinion and I love that you share it unabashedly. It doesn't change my opinion on my love for Johanna but I see all you're points and am so so glad to have heard them. I so appreciate you sharing and it's seriously impressive to have finished this book! With every video you put out, I feel like we're buds!

Hi Jackie, Completing a book cover to cover is quite an accomplishment 👏 Its nice to see the different styles, its beautiful. While watching and listening made me think of a product I'm pretty certain you would enjoy. Do have or have you seen the Kuretake REAL brush water based markers? They aren't a marker, and its not just water based ink, they are filled with watercolor compounds, and can be activated with water once applied. I have yet to see any colorist use them, or speak of them. They are called ZIG CLEAN COLOR. Now they come with a very fine brush that takes a little minute to get accustomed to. They have sets of 60, 80, & 120 colors. These are one of my personal favorite 'toys' I believe Amazon still has them. I do think based on what mediums you seem most fond of you would sincerely love them😊

The Kuretake Zig Clean Colors are great pens, really old now, I got mine in the 1990s. Other manufacturers have replicated these type of pens (for a keener price) which I think is the reason they're not mentioned much these days.

Hi Jacky, i did finish a book but it was a small sized one with 74 coloring pages. I do try to complete books, i don’t know why but i like that. I start at the beginning and work to the end and when i come across a coloring page that i don’t really like i color that with easy materials like chalk, panpastel, distress inks, chalk pencils, markers and go over it with pencils. When i do like a page i wil color it with pencils only. This way i can manage it. Also a big blanc background is easily colored with chalk or distress ink and stencils. But a big sized book like this one is a lot diffrent…..well done!

Coloursoft are such a weird pencil.. I think the best way for me to describe them is "hard pastel" which seems like a complete contradiction and that is really what it's like to color with them, a contradiction, and thus why they are so frustrating. They are hard so you want to push on them.. but if you do they shatter.. soft so they go down a bit chunky and want to be blended out.. but don't layer well at all. I had a small handful for a couple of years, and would pull them out every once in a while to try to work with them on a printed design to try to figure them out.. then get frustrated and put them back in a drawer. I finally determined it's best to be very simple with them, single or two color layers at most. They do respond well to a blending pencil so I treat them as one of the ways I do my Prisma.. lay down heavy color in the darkest areas with a little feathering on the edge and blend them out over white paper for dimension. I tend to reserve them for simple coloring, like mandalas, where the shapes are very distinct and just need some color. The colors are lovely, lots of soft violets, peaches, warm blues, cream yellows.. your swan is so pretty, very art nouveau.

Yes, they are a very strange pencil which is a shame, as you said - they have a lovely colour palette. I find them to work okay over alcohol markers and a watercolour base in my Aussie Amazon books so that is the only time I really use them now (and they weren’t cheap either 🙄).

I would never color a book from cover to cover. I would die of boredom. That's why I prefer to buy different pdfs and print one page at a time
