Coloring DC: Batman-Hush Vol. 1 (Dc Comics Coloring Book)

Love this book . Hush has been my favorite Batman story since I first read it. While the story is fantastic what really had me hooked was the amazing art of Jim Lee. If you have ever wanted a book that let's you color some of the best art comics have to offer then look no further. The only improvement I can think of for this book is if there was some way to see what colors the original art had. I have resorted to breaking out the original comic several times to get an idea of what colors would work best . Though I can see why others might not want this as it might derail their own creativity . Personally a little guidance helps at times. Fully recommend this book to all coloring fans and comic fans. Just be aware that this is detailed and long so it will require a time commitment.

The media could not be loaded. I was hoping for exactly what I received – a black and white version of a graphic novel. It seems to be exactly the same artwork but with the colors removed. There is a lot of heavy black but that's okay with me. If I want to darken the black, I can always use my coloring pencils over it.Additionally, there are areas that look more like gray tone water color that would be hard to color using traditional methods. I've recently learned how to use coloring pencils for gray scale images and that is what I will do with these images.What I really appreciate is that I can now color my characters in traditional ways or pick my own color palette and go for it. In the past, I've tried drawing some of my favorite characters but in the end, I wasn't happy with the result. This book will be great for my use.I think it's a fantastic idea for publishing companies to pull out their classics from the archive and give us the opportunity to color. I hope to see more coloring books from graphic novels in the near future.I will provide more details below for anyone interested in the nuts and bolts, but here is an overview of what I found in this coloring book:102 pages of black and white graphic novel plus title pageDesign printed on both sides of pagePaper is heavyweight and non-perforatedDesigns merge into the bindingBinding is both sewn and gluedAll markers (alcohol and water) and India ink pens bleed through the pageGel pens leave a shadow of color on the reverse sideColoring pencils work fantastic with this paperThe designs are printed on both sides of the white, heavyweight, non-perforated page. I really didn't expect anything other than this as it follows the format of a graphic novel. The binding is glued and sewn which makes it really sturdy but almost impossible to remove pages from the book. I don't intend to do so anyway, so no problem for me.The designs merge into the binding and some of the designs spread across the binding onto two pages. I was able to get the book to lay fairly flat but it took some effort to crease the spine enough. As I said before, the binding is really sturdy in this book.I test a large variety of coloring medium on my books. I'll list those I used for this book in the comments section below. Here is what I found:Alcohol and water-based markers and India ink pens bleed through the page and will ruin the designs on the backside of the page. Gel pens leave a shadow of color that is easily seen on the reverse of the page. In the end, I can only recommend coloring pencils for this book and those I recommend highly. My soft lead pencils went on thick and I was able to blend them really easily. My hard lead pencils went on sharp and are perfect for the tiny spots in the designs.

One of the best of the adult coloring books out there so far- especially if you like the character- a graphic novel where you choose the hues for the pictures yourself. High quality paper and detailed art- using this almost makes you feel like a real colorist collaborating with the artist who did the line work; lots of detail and interesting poses and backgrounds to keep your attention along with a fair number of pages to color in. A pleasure to use. Get the colored pencils from your utility belt.

Okay first I have to admit I'm a huge Batman fan and an even bigger Jim Lee fan so for someone new into adult coloring this was perfect. Firstly you will recieve a book that has some of the most amazing pictures from te Hush series drawn by Jim Lee. The detail in this pictures is amazing and fun to color. I have to give this item 4 stars for the fact that the pages are not easily removable from the book unless you use a knife yourself. It's a lot easier to color when you don't have to compete with a seam bumping against your wrist. Secondly the pages are not listed in the order of the series which isn't all that bad as its not the complete storyline anyway. I will point out there are a lot of really great pages to color on with beautiful drawings of Batman, Killer Croc, Catwoman and Poisen Ivy however there are some pages where it's Dr Thomas Elliot walking out of the hospital or the flashback scenes of Bruce and Tommy playing with toy solider that are not that much fun to color. I use Prismacolors 132 pencil set even. Though I'm just coloring pictures they have the widest range of colors. Originally I started out using a cheap pencil set where I could the leads to be too hard and didn't allow me to get the color I wanted just right. With the wide range of colors I can really bring out the detail from Jim Lee's art. I love this coloring book and would find it perfect for any adult fan of Batman. I can imagine this will keep me busy for several months and will bring me a lot of fun. For someone knew to coloring it's almost a dream I get to color images drawn by Jim Lee. I highly reccomend this item for any fan of Batman or Jim Lee. You will not be disappointed.

I got this as a gift for 11 year old boy and he loved it! And there must be alot going on it this book to because he told me he brings it to school for reading!

Muy buen estado y bien empacado

El cómic de Hushen su completo (por lo menos el primer tomo) realizado para colorear.Mucho chulo. Y muy buena edición y gramaje

Good paper and good pictures.

Just amazing. I'm really looking forward to tackling this, just trying to decide what to use to colour it with..

Kompletter erster Teil in schwarz weiß. Zum Ausmalen oder nur lesen. Papier fühlt sich gut an. Aber Vorsicht beim Malen mit Markern, Buntst sind besser geeignet.
