Fragile World: Colour Nature's Wonders

I am in love with this book.It contains realistic animal drawings and each images corresponds with how the animal ecosystem cohabitates.It has a mixture of double and single pages for colouring. The book size and paper quality are the same as Worlds within Worlds.

This is a refreshingly different colouring book that measures around 24.75 cm square.With the cover illustrations included inside, the relatively intricate pictures generally have more in them than first meets the eye, offering something for everyone, IMO.The current ‘LOOK INSIDE’ facility above + the current stock images give an idea of the content to see if it is the style for you.I only use colouring pencils in my books so cannot comment on potential bleed through from a wet tip.ooOoo~ TITLE: FRAGILE WORLD: COLOUR NATURE'S WONDERS~ ILLUSTRATOR: KERBY ROSANES~ AUTHOR/EDITOR: IMOGEN CURRELL-WILLIAMS~ PUBLISHER: LOM ART (Michael O’Mara Books Limited)~ 2021‘Printed in China’The colourful thick card cover, designed by JOHN BIGWOOD, is enhanced in places, mischievously catching in the change of light and drawing the eye to the detail. The main title is loud & clear in white lettering.Inside are 96 good quality, numbered pages, the first offering the opportunity to claim ownership alongside a note about the UK registered charity ~ ‘David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation’.From the introduction:🐼 ‘DISCOVER OUR FRAGILE WORLD IN THIS COLOURING ADVENTURE.Step into my high-definition, super-detailed world, where you will discover some of the most endangered and vulnerable animals in their natural habitats.Each intricate illustration has been crafted with fineliner pens and can be coloured in any way you like.Find out more information about each animal at the back of the book.’The colouring in opportunities run from page 6-87 and are both sides of the page. Outlined in black on a white background throughout some areas are already shaded in grey, for definition.Some pictures are single page; others span 2, with the spine area being a bit tricky on the latter depending on where you are in the book.The last 9 pages are notes ‘ABOUT THE ANIMALS’, in order of appearance in the book, with a paragraph on each of the 56, which makes for interesting reading. Each includes the level of endangerment and the relevant page number, which is small in the bottom corner of each page.ooOooFrom the back cover:🦜 ‘Enter the enchanting world of artist Kerby Rosanes.Discover some of the Earth’s most endangered animals in their natural habitats and ecosystems and bring each creature to life with colour.Find out what threatens their survival and the vital roles they play in our fragile world.A royalty from the sale of this book will go to the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation.’[17 images attached © KERBY ROSANES, JOHN BIGWOOD & MICHAEL O’MARA BOOKS Limited/2021]

Having bought all Kerby Rosanes books I just had to add this one to the collection and I wasnt disappointed. His illustrations are as beautiful as always and there are alot to go at. Sadly, or more pictures for the money, they are double sided so you have to be careful what medium I/you use so not to bleed through to the back picture. At the back of the book is some information on all the animals included in this book which is both interesting and sad at the same time. All in all another beautiful book

Wow, wow ,well worth the wait,pics are fantastic as usual,the detail is out of this world,well priced fantastic value, KIRBY ROSANES you are an epic artist, I can't wait to start colouring, I have many, many other books,I can't get enough of your work, NEXT BOOK please, people, fans, just get this epic book you won't be disappointed FANTASTIC THE CHARITY WILL DO WELL.

Great thick pages, for mixed medium useage ie ink, water colours, or felt tips as well as my go to colour pencils. This is also a thick book with wonderful drawing after wonderful drawing, each as inspiring as the next!Its great to Google the more unusual animals if you want to faithfully colour them or let your imagination run and colour how you want.Worth buying two books so you can do just that.
