Mehndi Mandalas Adult Coloring Book: Black Background

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  I found this to be a fun coloring book of mandalas. The designs have a bit of detail but not so much to be overwhelming. I like coloring mandalas but some have such intricate spots to color, I have problems with both my eyes and getting the nibs of my pens/pencils into the spots to color. This is not that type of coloring book.While the coloring book is Mehndi in nature, I find a lot of floral inspiration in it as well. I enjoy it no matter the inspiration and will enjoy coloring in it.I like the black background as it can hide the times I color outside the lines if I am using markers. I've found that is not as true with pencils as the color can show up slightly on the background.I did note that the copy I received from the publisher had an issue with the background not being fully printed in black (the unbound edge of the last few pages had approximately a quarter inch of white showing on the unbound edge. The copy I purchased did not have the issue (which was as well as I bought it as a gift for a family member.) With this kind of issue, a quick call to Amazon usually results in a rapid replacement copy being ordered.This is what I found in this coloring book:31 Mehndi inspired Designs with black backgrounds in the bookPrinted one side of the pagePaper is typical inexpensive quality by CreateSpace printing: white with black printed backgrounds, thin, slightly rough and non-perforated.The designs do not merge into the binding. The designs are centered on the page with all elements finished at the outer edges.Glue BindingCreate Space Paper/Media QualityAlcohol-based markers bleed through the page quickly.Water-based markers bleed through in spots.Gel pens and India ink pens leave shadows on back of the page. India ink can bleed through if you apply heavily or multiple coats.Coloring Pencils work fairly well with this publisher's paper provided you don't press extremely hard while coloring. I find that I can layers the same color for deeper pigment or multiple colors. I prefer to use a liquid blender rather than a pencil style blender due to the black background and heavier black lines. I find that these sometimes will smear with a blending pencil. This is true of both oil and wax based pencils. I have also found that hard lead pencils leave dents through the paper.I like to use a blotter when working in this type of book. I use a page of card stock or several sheets of heavyweight paper under my working page. It keeps seeping ink and marring dents from ruining the pages below.In addition to the copy of this book that I purchased on Amazon, I was provided a copy of the coloring book by the publisher.

Loving this book so far. The paper isn't as thick as Colorit or Johanna Botsford pages but it's not extremely thin and cheap feeling either. The pictures are one sided so no worries about bleeding through with water based markers. For alcohol markers I still needed a blank paper as to not ruin the next picture. I included a pic of the back and front of one I used alcohol markers on and one with water based markers. The black is nice and dark as really makes the colors pop. The pictures themselves range from pretty simple to more detailed but nothing crazy difficult. Would definitely purchase again for myself or for gifts.

I was quite surprised as I colored through the designs in this book. Some designs appeared to be rather boring at first, but when colored - looked wonderful. This book does have the black backgrounds - that make the colors pop vividly when you are done. Of the many books I have colored, this one rates up there with the best. We all have different experience levels, and different tastes when it comes to designs to color. For me, this book was a joy and I have searched for other coloring books by this author and have purchased them..

It arrived quickly and doesn't have any damaged. There's plenty of pages to keep me busy, and the mandala designs themselves are gorgeous! I added a video and pics to give a visual of what I received. Overall, I definitely recommend this for anyone who needs a creative outlet while being at home all time during the pandemic.

I love this coloring book! The black background really makes the colors pop. You'll need a backing sheet if you use watercolor pens, but the designs are printed only on one side, so it works fine with backing. The designs are intricate and mesmerizing - I get lost in here for hours!

A mixed bag on designs, but I like them well enough, however I'm disappointed that there are no perforated edges. It makes it difficult to remove pages without tearing or damaging, and attempting to colour the pages in any type of marker without removing them first causes the colours to bleed onto the next page.

I was very disappointed with this book, it has black lines through out its pages all in the same place and it does not have a all black background. I have always ignored reviews as each of us have different taste and styles, but now burned and will not be burned again. The worst part is that the only picture I saw before buying, I liked the rest are just carbon copies of other mandala books.

I ordered the coloring book with the black backgrounds. I thought it would be interesting to try with neon and metallic gel pens. The book itself is very cheap looking. The pages are thin, and not really a nice clean black color. More a washed out black. The designs as well are very bland. I will keep it, but doubt I will do more than a couple of the designs.
