"Bought this from Michael's. I have to admit it" according to CS. Bought this from Michael's. I have to admit it sat for a really long time. Just recently started coloring it with Copic markers. I'm really enjoying myself a lot more than I thought I would. The pictures are imaginative and I'm using unusual color schemes from my norm. The line work is very detailed so it gives the opportunity to add a lot of shading with different colors. The individual pictures ends up as a final large panoramic but you can also cut the pieces to make smaller scenes. The individual pages also will match the line work if you decide to skip a page. Overall very enjoyable for youngsters or adults.. More than I expected. Debbie Winn These are very detailed pictures. The "book" is actually a long panoramic picture, but it can be used as separate pages also. On the back side of the panels is another, bigger dragon, on a grid. There is another few panels is empty grid you can use to draw your own dragon. So yes, it is printed on both sides. Honestly, I didn't pay much attention to the description when I ordered thisI was more like" ooooh dragons!" I love John Howe's work, so this is great.. "I LOVE the pictures" according to Misty. I LOVE the pictures!!! I grew up with the old animated hobbit movie and the animation style is amazing! This feels like it jumped right out of that movie. I love dragons and this has several different kinds in different styles and scenes. It can even be hung up as art when I'm finshed coloring it! It can all be one long piece or in different panels as individual pieces. Each piece connectsto the others, yet also stands alone beautifully! It has many intricate designs and things to keep me entertained coloring for quite a while. Highly recommended for dragon loving adults and young adults!
