THE WORLD OF OUTLANDER AWAITS
From the lush green of the Scottish Highlands to the military red of a British soldier’s coat or the vibrant hues of a tartan kilt, the colorful world of Claire Beauchamp Randall and Jamie Fraser is now yours to explore. Featuring gorgeous natural landscapes, detailed drawings of Claire’s medicinal herbs, depictions of the books’ most beloved scenes and characters, and intricately rendered clothing, weapons, and armor straight out of eighteenth-century Scotland, these exquisite black-and-white images—from renowned illustrators Juan Alarcón, Yvonne Gilbert, Craig Phillips, Jon Proctor, Tomislav Tomić, and Rebecca Zomchek—are designed to dazzle and inspire. Fans of the series, as well as lovers of history and art, can party like it’s 1743.
Beautiful adult coloring book with a wide variety of interpreted designs Attached to this review will be a silent flip-through of the entire coloring book so you can make an informed decision as to whether or not it will work for you.Rather than discuss how this is like or different from the books and/or TV series, I will discuss only how I feel about it as an adult coloring book.I really like this book. What is different about this one from others that I have is that six different artist have contributed to the designs. It makes for a variety of coloring opportunities. Some designs are simple – almost child-like. I can color those as-is or put some of my doodling/art skills to work and add some unique elements to the designs. Others are moderately challenging and will be good ones to work on when I simply want to color. Finally, there are designs with a lot of intricate and small detail. They can be colored, but it will be a challenge and one that I will enjoy because these designs are so beautiful.Physically, the book is very well made. The designs are printed on one side with details from the books written on the back of the page. The pages are thick and white; however, they are not perforated. The binding is glued rather than sewn, so removing pages from the book will be a little more difficult. Most of the designs merge into the binding, but the portions that might be lost if I cut the pages out are not the central theme of the design.None of my gel pens bled through to the back of the page. My colored pencils all worked well on the surface of the paper. My water-based markers did not leak through; however, my ultra-fine Sharpies and Copics did. In any case, I would recommend putting a waste sheet of some sort (chipboard, freezer paper, cardstock, etc.) under the page you are working on to keep ink from possibly getting on the following pages.In summary, an beautiful coloring book with very different interpretations of the subject by various designers. The book is very well made but could be improved upon if the pages were perforated for easy removal.Some pictures I loved, some I hated This was my first foray into coloring since my children were small and we colored Thomas The Tank Engine together. I'm a huge Outlander fan - have read all the books multiple times, watched the TV series, even have Claire's ring. So I didn't hesitate to order this book. After all, it's years before the next Big Book comes out.The good:- The paper is good quality and only one picture to a page- A couple of the artists seem to be familiar with the story and time period- Some of the pictures are complicated enough to get lost in for hours- Every page has an actual quote from the book to go with the picture- I loved the pictures with herbs, gardens and plantsThe So-So:- A lot of the pictures are too simple (like the boar tusk bracelet)- Some are just poorly drawn (like the prison cell)- How many pictures of Frank's car do we need?- Lallybroch had electric light fixtures outside the house?The Bad:- The Mill Scene - the artist didn't connect the mill, the wheel and the spout to anything- None of the pictures of Jamie and Claire really have them looking in love and happy- In fact nearly all of the people in the book are grim and looking down in apparent misery- The artists didn't really seem to know the story very well and just guessed- Claire's head is cut off in one picture- Jamie in his wedding kilt looked like something a child would draw.- The picture with the ladies in the shop has half-drawn baskets at the bottom - I didn't want to ruin it by trying to draw the rest.So overall, this isn't a terrible waste of money. I do hope they put out more coloring books based on DIA, Drums, etc. and I'll buy them because they keep me happy between books and TV seasons. But I hope they put more thought into the pictures next time. Those of us who would buy this book know the Big Books inside and out and expected better
