While I'm sure Grumpy Cat is a sweet kitty, her face seems to show superior attitude all of my cats have exhibited towards me over the years. I've had cats as pets for most of my adult life and recently lost my last kitty to old age at age 19 years. I miss my little friends from over the years and coloring kitties is my way of remembering them.Grumpy cat is the central theme of each of the designs. In some designs, there are abstract elements that surround her. They kind of remind me of a Klmit painting (another favorite of mine.) Other designs have an element or two which are floating around her in multiples. Some of the elements include sushi, junk food, fruit, and even calendar days showing Monday.The designs are not intricate but they are detailed and include abstract parts that you have to concentrate on to color. I had a lot of fun coloring my first project which was one of the ones that seemed a little more abstract in nature.This is what I experienced while coloring in this book and testing my coloring medium on the paper. In the comments section below, I will list the coloring medium I used for testing this book and which I usually use for coloring in my books.31 Grumpy Cat Designs with lots of doodle embellishmentPrinted on one side of the pagePaper is medium weight, white, lightly rough and perforatedGlue bound but you can easily remove pages at the perforation at perforationsDesigns stop before the perforationsAlcohol and water based markers bleed through to some degreeGel pens and India ink pens leave shadows of color on the back of the pageColoring pencils work well with this paper. Both wax and oil based pencils lay down good color, layer and blend well. Hard lead pencils leave dents on the back of the page.I usually take my pages out of these books for coloring. I suggest that or that you use a blotter page of card stock or several sheets of heavy weight paper to keep ink from seeping further into the book.
