Review:
If you're fan of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series then you're guaranteed to be familiar with Paul Kidby's gorgeous artwork. He has been illustrating the Discworld covers since 2002 and has brought all of our favourite characters to life with his drawings so of course he was the obvious artist of choice for the Discworld Colouring Book.
This colouring book is absolutely stunning and a must have for any Discworld fan. It contains so many iconic images and even in black and white the characters practically leap off the pages. You'll find full page images of Rincewind, Death, Tiffany, Granny Weatherwax and the witches, Vimes and the Night Watch, the Librarian, the Wee Free Men and so many more of your favourite characters within this book.
The paper is a nice thickness and good quality although I can't confirm if pens give you any bleed through because I've only used coloured pencils. My one slight niggle is that a couple of the double page spreads ruin the image a little by splitting the page right through the middle of a character, it's nearly impossible to colour right up to the middle edge so you're left with characters who have a gap down the centre of their face. This isn't an issue on most of the pages though so I'm not going to mark it down because of that.
Towards the end of the book you'll even find full colour images of some of Paul Kidby's most well known images, I almost want to cut some of them out and frame them so I expect I'll be buying a second copy of the book before too long. Those images are also included in the book for you to colour so you can either copy the colour scheme from the original artwork or try out something completely different.
I've included a couple of the pictures that I've finished so far to give you an idea of some of the images included and I'll probably come back to this review to add more as I finish colouring them.
Nearly all of my favourite characters on one page!
