Colouring Books suitable for pens?

[StuckInTheSameOld]

I've recently got into doing some colouring to de-stress, but the ink always goes through, can someone recommend me any that are suitable for pens and they won't go through the page or that are single sided?

It will definitely depend on the type of pen. I got a great set of gel pens and, when I got them, they had a free set of refills for each colour. I can’t seem to find the same brand now, but something like this.

Millie Marotta books are usually good quality and lots of fun designs.

I do colouring books. Becuase if u have bad hands colouring pencils mean I have to press too hard. So I use markers. Huhu art markers.

But I have yet not managed to find a colouring book that doesn’t bleed through. I’m just picky as to what page I really want to do. I also keep a plastic type of sheet under it. So the markers don’t go though more than just the underside page.

The Wildergorn book and posters are absolutely wonderful with so much detail, and my pretty standard felt tips don’t bleed through. Expensive to buy, but works out very cheap per hour as there’s so much to do.

Here’s an excerpt from the website re pens. The artist is also great at answering any questions via the website, so might be able to advise re your specific pens.

“32 colouring pages printed on a beautiful high quality 300gsm card, the book represents a major creative project, perfect for colouring with felt-tips, gel pens, brush pens, bottled inks and brushes, watercolours, coloured pencils or just about anything you like.

Exquisitely printed and bound in England by Hartgraph of Amersham, the pages are double-sided and crafted from 300gsm uncoated card which is thick enough to prevent most types of ink from bleed-through. To be on the safe side, we have included a dedicated blank page at the end of the book and thoroughly recommend that markers should be tested before setting out in earnest.”

Thank you, I will have a look at those. At the moment I have brush pens, may look at others if I can't find a book.
