Whimsical Wings from Streetlight Graphics LLC

Whimsical Wings is part of a series of colouring books released by Streetlight Graphics, the US publishing company of husband and wife creative team, Glendon and Tabatha Haddix. 

On first inspection this is a lovely soft-feel book with 21 quaint illustrations of winged creatures including birds, angels, insects and more. There is so much attention to detail in the designs, some more intricate than others but each as impressive as the last. The drawings are so charming and pleasant to look at, every one a delight to scruitinise before you even get colouring. With dragons, unicorns and fairies abound, you become enchanted by the combination of nature and magic within the pages.
Each page is one-sided, and the paper is of a good standard. There are some extremely small spaces on some of the pictures so get ready to put your fineliners to the test! If you're not someone who enjoys intricacy in your colouring then some of the illustrations may be slightly intimidating, but rest assured there are also some less elaborate designs included. 

Take a look at my finished pages. I really enjoyed falling down the rabbit hole and exploring this very whimsical fantasy world (and putting my touch on it by giving the dragon an interesting read!)

I wanted to do a book of wings. My publisher turned me down. Now that this and a few other 'winged' books are out, I'm rather glad we went with Dreams instead. :)
