A real must-have!!!! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 24 June 2017* I have been a fan of adult colouring for a few years now, but I really wanted to expand my colouring skills and develop and explore new ideas and possibilities rather than just colouring in blank spaces with lots of "flat" colour which I was beginning to find rather boring. I used to go on youtube a lot and watch tutorial colour alongs but these proved rather difficult to follow, and a book was really what I required.I came across The Colourists Special Effects on a colouring group, first time I'd ever heard of Helen's work before and I was eager to buy this book as it is exactly what I've been waiting for! It has EVERYTHING any colourist would ever need and MORE!! This gorgeous book is fully illustrated and split into the following chapters:.Shading and blending pencils, Light and shade on 3D spheres and boxes..Hair, lips, skin- and sunglasses.Nature- Water drops, air bubbles, shiny butterfly, red rose and daisy, clouds, glossy spotted mushrooms, soap and neon bubbles, mermaid scales, animal fur, translucent fairy wings..3D shapes and objects- 3D bows and wine glasses, balloons, crowns glowing candles and lanterns, chrome, tear shapes.Gems- 9 different types!.Backrounds- Snowfall, stained glass effect, red sunset- the list goes on!The book is printed on white paper of medium thickness, works well withy both pens and pencils, layering and blending. On each page there is always several spaces to practice the technique after reading the easy step- by- step guides which are just perfect for a beginner, no technical language at all, just plain, simple and nicely spaced and laid out. Each step by step instruction has a coloured example which is computer generated, which means you can see each part easily. Further Practice pages are also provided printed on single side to prevent any bleed through. There are also several scenes to colour in this book. At the back is a handy colour wheel with art tips on how to colour it. Next, are spaces for you to test how colours look together, always a must-have! Then follow "signature cards" which feature a certain item such as a gem or flower for you to colour in with space for your name, and finally, there are 10 pages to record your art supplies!Simply AMAZING. Helen has clearly put a huge amount of time and effort in to creating this book and it sure is worth it, a pleasure to colour in! Thank you Helen!I recommend purchasing the colour interior version as opposed to the greyscale, as colour interior allows you to see exactly how each piece should look when coloured.Oh, and I've heard that Helen is currently writing a sequel!!!!! Can't wait! Best book I've seen in a long time, a real must buy for adult colourists, artists, beginners, or people who just love all things pretty and colourful! Highly recommended!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend!!!! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 29 June 2021* I have literally just received this AMAZING book! It has got to be one of the Best Art books which I have purchased; it shows you step by step pictures and instructions on how to use tone within colour for eg a tear, eyes, bubbles.... It helps you to recognise exactly where and why light should fall in a certain area. I have already picked up so many tips!!!It gives you the opportunity to fill in your own example next to where it’s helped you.. .... it’s brilliant!!Well done to the author Helen Ellison for creating this book plus ... there are a series of these books, so I plan to buy them all as I can afford.I can not recommend this book enough... it delivers results.... I can see my art will go from strength to strength. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential Kit *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 9 March 2021* Great tutorials on how to make your adult colouring look amazing! It's a essential piece of kit and will help you make the most of those gorgeous colouring books we have. Aimed mainly at coloured pencils (so far anyway I haven't finished the book yet) and gives a good introduction into actual art theory that I've read in' traditional' art instruction books. I did however find the paper a tad difficult to use with my Prismacolors. The paper feels a bit shiny even though I can feel a tooth so it requires you to lay down super light layers. Perhaps oil based pencils might fair better. That said it is a very minor issue and Prismas do work just use a very light hand to ensure you don't burnish the paper in error and can't lay down anymore colour. All in all HIGHLY recommended! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/47870327-colorists-special-effects-color-interior-step-by-step-guides-to](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/47870327-colorists-special-effects-color-interior-step-by-step-guides-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
