🎨 Arteza Adult Coloring Book, Mandala Designs, 72 Sheets, 100 lb, 6.4x6.4 Inches, Anxiety & Stress Relief, Relaxation, Detachable Pages Review

I like the elastic that holds the book together, the design is gray instead of the usual black. I like the variety of drawings, mainly mandala with some variations, as well as full page square drawings. The size is good, small which makes it a bit difficult to avoid bleeding with a regular sized marker, but I like the challenge. Thin markers or colored pencils work best. Highly recommended for mandala lovers!

I love that the cover is designed like a notepad, can be lifted at the top and the pages are easy to remove. An elastic band attaches and wraps around the back to keep it closed when not in use. The drawings are delicate but light gray (the camera kept wanting to increase the contrast, but I tried to show a comparison with the black cover of the book). Illustrations courtesy of Shutterstock (cited on inside cover). The pages are thick. Generally good.

1st: It's small but it's what I was looking for! 2nd: I can use markers, my favorite topic is markers. It does bleed a little (although it does bleed in some specs), but the paper is thick enough that you'll be fine if you put a piece of paper under the layer. 3rd: I was very surprised that the silver marks still showed up after using markers over them. 4th: It's only 75 pages but for this price it's still great, I'll order it again once I've gotten over it!

later Honestly I don't think the paper is as thick as advertised because it's from someone who has dozens of notepads with drawings and paintings. He bleeds horribly when using alcohol markers. The lines are so thin and so hard to see that the finished product can't look neat and will have you craning your neck to see what you do! Not a relaxing experience at all. If you used SUPER sharp crayons and a magnifying glass, you might be lucky. The design is definitely beautiful.
