Doctor Who Coloring Book

My comparison of the US version of this book compared to the UK version will be towards the bottom of this review. I really like the designs in this coloring book. Each of the Dr. Who's are represented in the book and are shown in an interesting silhouette style design with their heads literally filled with pertinent elements from their time as Dr. Who. There is a similar one for Missy as well. I took the time today to finish my personal favorite, the Tenth Doctor Who and the Tardis in Time and Space. The designs are well drawn with good black lines. Some designs are fairly open and easy to color while others are more intricate and will be a little more challenging but still a lot of fun. The book is well made. The designs are printed on one side of an off-white colored non-perforated paper. The paper has a very smooth, almost slick feel to it. On the back of each page is a thumbnail version of the design along with a quote that is applicable to the design and which Dr. Who it pertains to as well as the name of the episode and the year it was filmed. The cream colored cover can be colored as well and has lovely deep blue foil touches to make it look extra special. The publisher missed an opportunity by not providing designs on the inside of the fold-out, attached cover; however, there are two flaps you can color if you wish where the printing is white on blue background. The binding is sewn rather than glued, so removing pages is a matter of snipping threads. While a good number of designs merge into the binding, it will not matter if you remove the page by cutting the threads as you will retain the entire page. If you decide to cut the page out instead, you may lose portions of those designs. Only my alcohol-based markers bled through to the back of the page. My water-based markers left a shadow of color on the back of the page. My gel pens and India ink artist pens did not bled through the paper. My gel pens required extra drying time. My colored pencils all worked well on the surface of the paper and behaved as expected for the type of lead with soft lead going on thick and blending extremely well. I would recommend putting a blotter page of some sort – chipboard, card stock, etc. under the page you are working on to keep ink from possibly getting on the following pages. These are the coloring medium that I use for testing. If there is something else you feel I should be testing, please let me know and I will see if I can add it to my growing pile: Markers: 1) alcohol-based – Copic Sketch, Prismacolor double ended markers (brush and fine point), Sharpies (fine and ultra-fine) Bic Mark-its (fine and ultra-fine) and 2) water-based – Tombows dual end markers (brush and fine point), Stabilo 88, and Staedler triplus fineliners India Ink: Faber-Castell PITT artist pens (brush tip) Gel Pens: Sakura, Fiskars, Uni-ball Signo in the following sizes - 0.28/0.38/0.5/1.0 and Tekwriter Coloring Pencils: Prismacolor Premier Soft Core, Derwent Colorsoft, Prismacolor Verithins, and Faber-Castell Polychromos I ordered and received the UK version of this coloring book late last year. When I order more than one version, I try to do a comparison for others to benefit from. In some cases (like “Animorphia” and “Lost Ocean”) there are distinct differences. In the case of Dr. Who, the differences are more subtle. The books weight the same at 1.07 pounds. That tells me that the same grade of paper was used. The covers are different colors (UK is white with cyan foil and the US is cream with deep blue foil.) The books are bound the same and the same images appear in both book. The books are the same height, depth and width. The pages of the books are a different color. The pages in the UK book are a true cream color. The US version is more of an antique white – with beige tones rather than cream. The designs are printed more distinctly on the UK version and in a side by side comparison, the US version seems a little less distinct. My coloring mediums worked the same with both books. If my photos post, the US version is at the top and the UK version is at the bottom. In summary, I really like this book as a colorist. I find that I prefer the page color and ink of the UK version but if I had never seen it, I would have been completely happy with the US version. Getting two copies works well for my house as my husband wants one of his own. The subject matter of the coloring book is for a show that I have enjoyed for many years and I will be having a lot of fun with it. While the paper could have been improved and perforated pages would be appreciated, I didn't detract for those because the way the book was published made it less essential and more of a preference for my use of the book.

This is an excellent quality coloring book. The drawings are printed well and most are very intricate. The paper is smooth and off white in color. Many of the illustrations cover the page from edge to edge, while others have a void space. The binding is sewn and the pages not perforated. If you decide to remove pages, I'd recommend using a blade. You may, however, lose a small portion of the design on pages that go to the edge. I didn't have any trouble breaking in the binding while I was coloring with the book fully intact. Since the pages are sewn and not just glued there's little/no risk of the pages breaking loose from the spine. The illustrations are printed on the front of each page with a thumbnail and corresponding quote on the back. Doctor Who fans will quickly recognize heros and villans among other cast and characters. Not every character from the shows/movies are represented in the book, but as I flipped through the book I do believe that each Doctor, including the War Doctor is represented in some way (many by their own full page silhouette). I chose a mandala style illustration of Daleks and used my Marco Raffiné 7100 oil based color pencils when coloring my first page ( Colored Pencils, Arespark 72-color Soft Core Art Coloring Pencils, Professional Drawing Pencils for Secret Garden, Artist Sketch Set/ Coloring Book (Not Included)- Set of 72 Assorted Colors ). The colors went on smoothly and vibrantly. The paper probably wouldn't stand up to inks (pen or marker) without bleeding, so I would recommend using a blotter page of some sort so you don't ruin the next illustration. For $9.29 this book is also an excellent value! It would make a great gift for the Whovian in your life or provide you with countless hours of entertainment.

I got this coloring book for my son for Easter. I love it and so does he. There are a lot of intricate details to color, as well as more simple pages. Even though this is considered an adult coloring book, because of the detail and subject, I got this for my nine year old. I feel like this is a great coloring book for him because it isn't as simple as many other "children's" coloring books. He loves Doctor Who, so finding all the characters in the pages of the color book is great. There are 96 coloring pages in the book, which means that he'll be able to color in this for a long time. It's nice that these coloring pages are so well-done. I was a little worried that it would be cheesy, but overall the pages look good. One of our favorite aspects of this coloring book is that it has a lot of the catch phrases and wording throughout the book. This adds a fun and interesting element to the book. If you're looking for something fun and unique for a Doctor Who fan, make sure to check out this coloring book. It has all the favorite villains, companions, and doctors. Fans of all ages can get hours of fun out of this coloring book. Even though I got it for my child, I do feel that the quality of this coloring book is up to par with what adults are looking for in their coloring books, as well. I like that each page takes a lot of time to fully color, because it allows you to really get into the art.

I love all things Dr. Who. I have kids that love to color every day and I wanted a coloring book that wasn't filled with Paw Patrol or some kind of super hero. I also am a quilter and I liked the designs in this coloring book because I could blow them up and use them to piece together a very amazing square for a Dr. Who quilt I'm working on. The designs and patterns in this book are very detailed. The paper is thick enough so that you use pencils or colored markers it will not bleed through to the other side. I also like that there are quotes from The various Dr's and villains on the back of each page. The designs in the book are on one side of the paper only and that also is an added benefit in my opinion. The book is excellently bound and I would definitely buy another book in this series of adult coloring books. I purchased this item at full price and am providing this review for informational purposes only.

I love this coloring book and it's a lot of fun to color. However, I am disappointed that they left out some key characters...namely Martha, Donna, and worst of all, River! There were were a couple of pages that made no sense to have (A whole page dedicated to a snowman and snowflakes...both of which are white. And a page filled with a bunch of adipose...also white and limited scenery). I do like that they included silhouettes of all the doctors with collages inside he silhouettes. I feel like they overdid the cybermen. There were more cybermen than anything else in the book. It felt like every other picture was of them and it became redundant. I would have preferred less cybermen and more other aliens. There is one image ever other page so if you use specific types of markers they won't bleed onto another image. The pages are thick and I use gell pens which look amazing. A little variety would have been great. Otherwise I love the book!

My sons and I started watching the Dr Who episodes on Amazon Prime a few months back, and my 8 year old has become a real Whovian, spending time googling information about the different doctors and the things they have to fight against. He saw this coloring book online and begged me to get it for him so I decided to get it as I like to give them activities to do that don't always involve playing on their Kindles or computer. The coloring book is great quality. The blue on the cover is a metallic print. The pictures are on 1 side of the page and a little info box is on the back. He loves referring to the book, especially when we are watching a new episode to check what/who the new bad guy is. He is also enjoying coloring the pictures in the book. We have a few coloring books here as I run a home daycare, but he didn't want to color any of those pictures because he said they were too babyish. The is a huge variety of pictures in this book. A lot are full page. We highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys coloring and is also a Dr Who fan.

My husband is a huge Doctor Who fan and loves this! I did buy it used and about 8 of the pages were already colored in but this coloring book has a lot of coloring pages so it wasn't a big deal. My only complaint was these pages are impossible to tear/rip/cut out. The way it is bound, when I tried to remove the already colored in pages, the only way I could was to cut them out but it doesn't look great. If you're planning on tearing out a page to give someone or hang up, then it'll be a process but otherwise, this coloring book is a great adult coloring book!

I had seen the preorder for this coloring book, and debated getting it but decided against it because I just don't have time for myself. But I found some incredible colored pencils and figured the time was right to get this book. I am so happy I purchased the Doctor Who coloring book! The pictures are wonderful - there are 45 pictures, with a mini-rendering of each on the back side of the larger image. There is so much detail in each and every picture- from the TARDIS, to Cybermen, and beyond! I can easily spend hours with my colored pencils coloring away in this book. It is remarkable how relaxing coloring can be. The paper itself is heavy. I think most of my coloring adventures will be considered works of art and will gain a coveted place of honor on the fridge, next to my kids' renderings. This coloring book is a perfect gift for any Whovian - even if you just get it for yourself!

perfect but there was a bit of sticky label stuck on the front cover and was a bit of a pain to scratch off but i got there in the end no harm done, also there were crumbs of what seems to be chocolate smudged through the book but using my nail i could easily get them out, just a bit inconvenient to flick through the book getting them all out and a but off-putting really but i love the book amazing price and everything. 100% recommend

Tadellos, definitiv ist dies ein Muss für jeden Doctor Who Fan. Unzählige Möglichkeiten kreativ zu werden. Schöne edle Optik von außen.

O melhor livro de colorir que já vi. As folhas sao boas para colorir e não é preciso se preocupar na hora de colorir e o desenho borrar a folha de trás pois os desenhos são únicos em cada folha, sendo a parte de trás de cada folha, uma frase referente ao desenho dela e o episódio no qual ela foi dita. Um item perfeito para qualquer fã de Doctor Who.

Le livre est magnifique. J'en avais déjà acheté un exemplaire pour une amie et du coup j'en ai racheté un pour moi.

good quality fast delivery
