Reviews for "Color Outside the Lines: Johanne Basford's Magical Jungle and the Art of Expression"
- Sarah - 1/5 - I was really disappointed with "Magical Jungle" by Johanne Basford. I found the illustrations to be overly intricate and fussy, making it difficult for me to enjoy the coloring experience. The images were so busy that it was overwhelming, and I ended up feeling frustrated instead of relaxed. Additionally, the paper quality wasn't great, and even though I used colored pencils, the colors didn't blend well and left a lot of streaks. Overall, this coloring book was not what I expected, and I wouldn't recommend it.
- Mark - 2/5 - As an avid coloring book enthusiast, I was excited to try out "Magical Jungle" by Johanne Basford, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. While I appreciate the attention to detail in the illustrations, I found them to be too intricate and time-consuming to complete. The paper quality was also disappointing; it was too thin, and my markers bled through the pages, making it impossible to use both sides. Additionally, I felt like the theme of the jungle wasn't explored to its full potential, and many of the designs lacked creativity. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this coloring book unless you have a lot of time and patience on your hands.
