Dominion of Giants
Coloring Book:
Behemoths of the Fantasy World, by Eric Messinger, is an 80-page
book of wonderful hand-drawn images of giants. The large fantasy
drawings cover one side of each page with fun fantasy inspirational
quotes and mini drawings on the back of each page. The pages
of the book are thick and perforated for easy removal. The
best medium to use in this book are colored pencils, as both
gel pens and markers bleed through and shadow the back of
the page. I found it best, if using pens or markers, to use
heavy card stock in between the pages while coloring. Many
of the drawings are quite intricate and have a variety of
thick and thin lines. The first section of the book has a
color wheel, color terminology and step-by-step directions
on how to color shadows, midtones and highlights. This is
followed by professionally colored samples of the pages to
follow. I found this helped to get my color juices flowing.
This is a wonderfully-crafted fantasy coloring book jammed
pack of giants of all shapes and sizes.
