Magical Worlds: An Enchanted Coloring Adventure

I absolutely love this coloring book. The illustrations are beautiful, detailed without being overwhelming, and really thoughtfully designed. It feels like stepping into a tiny magical world every time I open it. I use coloring as a way to calm my nervous system and give my brain a break, and this book is perfect for that. The pages are thick enough that markers and gel pens don’t easily bleed through, and colored pencils work great too. I also really appreciate the variety in the designs. Some pages are more intricate for when I want to focus, and some are simpler for low-energy days. It makes it easy to come back to over and over. If you’re looking for something relaxing, creative, and genuinely soothing, this is a great choice. It’s been a really lovely addition to my self-care routine, and I’d definitely recommend it!

This is my third Johanna Basford coloring book and each one has been as fabulous as the last. All of my kids (ages 3-9) as well as myself love to color her books, especially with gel pens. There are so many little details and mystical drawings that keep us quietly occupied for a long time. I love that there are full size coloring pages as well as multiple smaller items on pages so it's easy to just color for 5 minutes. These would make a great gift for anybody who loves to color, both young and old. It's a great size, the paper is quality, I like the square shaped book and there is plenty of room to cut the entire page out without messing up the picture. My only qualm is that the pages should be perforated for quick removal, but that doesn't lower my rating. Joanna Basford is so talented and draws the most darling homes in each of her books. I look forward to purchasing the rest of them.

Very pretty whimsical pictures, just what I wanted. Great for markers or colored pencil.

This was fun and super cute

Love love these books! My friend had one do now I have purchased 3 of her books! My favorites, a huge variety of different things to color they are awesome! So happy with my purchases plus I got them at a great price!

I absolutely agonize over which picture I want to color. Please don’t judge too harshly on my yellow jewel, I have color regret SO bad on that one 🤣 when I first got the book I was a bit annoyed with how many pages had the “little” drawings on them, but honestly they are SO satisfying to color. Maybe just instant gratification bc each page is so elaborate and detailed. But they’re so pretty and I just absolutely love this book. Flip back and forth between loving colored pencils and brush tip markers. Was worried because there are images on both sides of the paper, but even being heavy handed with the markers doesn’t produce any bleed through. I’d love a pack of acrylic paint markers to try out in this book! Also I wish I could have like 3 more exact copies of the gem page because I’m so obsessed with it lol. SO SATISFYING.

For the most part, I think this new book is cute and lovely. I love the dragons, the wizardish stuff, and the pumpkin house. The underwater scenic items, cute castles and houses, some space stuff, a flying boat, and two Rita Berman-esque style circular building pages. Nice little vignettes abound. Lots to love. However, there also quite a few adult coloring clichés here: a tortoise with stuff on its back? Really? Why? I am so incredibly tired of turtles carrying stuff on their shells (or stuff growing out of their shells). We don't need any more tortises as moving vans. A swan, two pegasus facing each other, and a sloth hanging from something. Beetles, snails, and moths (moths, and more moths) overkill. I don't understand the obsession with insects popularity with artists that drive the adult coloring trend buses. And, even more food obsession--especially sweets. I live on a fixed income, and have food allergies, so the food obsessiveness is annoying. What's with all the buildings with the onion shaped domes? Is Johanna obsessed with Russia, Arabia, and India? While I love the variety of animals and birds that are included, I wish they weren't so entangled with patterns. Again, there's lots to love here, but at the same time, there's not much that's "fresh" here in concept. However, overall, I'm glad I ordered it. Johanna has already said that the release slated for next year is going to largely botanical. I'm not really a fan of just coloring flora. As a result, I may skip the next one. I'd actually like to see someone publish anti-floral themed books, because florals seem to overwhelm adult coloring books. Time will tell, as Johanna reveals more teasers. If I do decide to skip it, World of Wonders, 30 days of Creativity, Small Victories, and Rooms of Wonder all have things that aren't as floral. And, I also have most of the rest of her back catalog. I don't pressure myself into coloring what doesn't interest me. So I'm not part of the crowd that it's absolutely important to completely finish books.

I love her coloring books! I love to do these during movies my husband wants to watch.

Confesso que comprei Magical Worlds por impulso, mas não me arrependi. Pra quem gosta de colorir uma temática mais fantástica, certamente vai adorar. O livro tem algumas das ilustrações mais bacanas da Johanna, poucas páginas enche linguiça (algo me decepcionou no Rooms of Wonder, que achei repetitivo). A qualidade da folha também está muito boa, embora lápis muito amanteigado talvez não sejam a melhor opção por ser muita lisa. Num geral é um livro que pode agradar quem já gosta dos outros 2 livros dela com a mesma vibe e também quem espera algo diferente, achei algumas ilustrações com traços que lembram outros artistas como o Kerby, Maria e Hanna, o que demonstra que ela ainda está experimentando. P.S. Pra quem tem medo ou não curte ilustrações muito grandes e complexas pra colorir, o Magical Worlds é uma boa opção também. Existem muitos desenhos de pequenos pra médios e a maioria não chega a ocupar a folha toda.

Magnifique livre ou j'ai déjà colorie dedans .papier de belle qualité pour le coloriage

ما تخيلت ان جميل في الدفتر

Absolutely beautiful book, with a variety of fantasy based images. A very great depth of detail used in every picture, which made it so fun to colour in.
