The Awesome 3-D Art Coloring Guide by Yukari Mishima is an instructional how to to color pictures to make them look 3-D. The book includes 20 optical illusions to color with the instructions on how to color them to maximize the 3-D effect. I think this book is great for anyone interested practicing their coloring skills without worrying how to draw the pictures themselves.

Good wee book in showing u how to draw in a 3D way - it’s amazing to see glow things just pop out of the page and how this happens

I had so much fun working with this book! I was able to create colorful optical illusions. I think my favorite image to use was the butterflies. From a person who isn't artistic at all (I'm crafty though!), this book helped me create some awesome 3-D art that I don't think I would've been able to do without it.

It was a cute but limited instructional book. It was is a little pricey for instruction that you could easily find on a variety of free resources online.

Loved this coloring book! You can draw the illustrations on your own and if you can't, they have given cut-outs for convenience. The shading styles are explained and no complex tools are needed.
The format is very simple and easy to follow and anyone can make beautiful 3D art with this book, even with no prior art experience and upload them on social media. My favourite figures are the skateboarder and the windsurfer which are really dynamic.
Thank you, author for creating this book!

Do you want to make it seem like your drawing is floating off the page? This book will help you figure out how to color your drawings in a way to make the shapes seem 3-D.

Each drawing is from a specific angle so the best way to show off your hard work of coloring is by taking a photo of it, not physically bringing people to it. Some are really impressive while others are just okay. I liked the castle one best. This includes pages to cut out and color. The instructions are logical and explain pretty much everything you need to know.

I honestly didn't get any new information from this. This is just a guide for you to color their pages they drew in a way that makes them have depth. I had (mistakenly) thought that this was a book on how to draw in 3-D, but it's just a coloring book.

This is my second arts´ book by Yukari Mishima and I am again impressed by the content. This one teaches how to create 3D effects by colouring and drawing. You need limited art supplies and a lot of patience, but it is fully worth it. The tutorials are very easy although, if you want to create the images from scratch you have advanced arts skills. Otherwise, the black and white sheets are available at the end of the book. You will learn how to position the light, identify and create the ground shadows and how to play with shades and colours for 3D stunning effects.
A recommended book for the hobby artists, resourceful enough to make your weekend or your holidays meaningful in a very colourful way.

This was pretty awesome not only for 3D but sone basic art principles like coloring shadows that are easy to follow with step by step directions particularly regarding where the shadows should go. There’s a wide variety of art projects to do so I think there’s something there for everyone. I recommend this for anyone who likes art and wants to try something new.

A brilliant book. At first I was a little disappointed that you cut out the top part so it wasn't totally 3D but then i thought of all of the uses I could put this to when making cards and was excited all over again. It goes into some depth about shading too, which is an area I tend to have trouble with. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to give that little extra something to their artwork.

<i>I can't remember whether I requested this book and got approved or if it was on download, but either way, thanks to NetGalley and the publisher!</i>

I have always been in awe of 3D art; it's always boggled my mind and I have always wanted to learn it, even with my subpar art skills.

This little book is perfect to start trying it out! I was a bit confused about it at first and was daunted because there is no way I'd be able to draw the examples given, but then at the end I saw the coloring pages and it all started to make sense, haha! I had already given the balloon at the start a go, which obviously wasn't needed looking back, but I'm still very proud of it!

I have since printed out one of the coloring pages and hope to get to try it out soon! This book gives very clear step by step instructions on how to hold your pencils, how to color and shade, and also which colors to use. All of these are things I am very grateful for! I'm sure you could change the colors to your liking, of course, but as a beginner it's nice to have it chosen for you.

I really enjoyed my first foray into 3D art and I would definitely recommend this book if you are wanting to try it as well!

Great book not only for learning to do 3D art but also to just learn the basics of light, shading, and perspective. The best part is that the coloring sheets are provided, so even if your skills are not up to drawing the outlines, you can still practice the coloring/shading techniques. Would be good for anyone who wants to explore new ways to create and present art.

This is such an awesome book for learning how to do 3D art!

It has really detailed step by step instructions.
Information is provided about what all you would need, then where the highlights should go, and where the shadows should fall.

The coloring instructions are really thorough, and all the colors used in the various projects are shown as swatches, which is so helpful.

Complete details are given on how to add the finishing touches, and how and where to cut the picture precisely to give the amazing 3D effects.

The projects are so fun and pretty. There are butterflies, flowers, animals- such as a dog, a cat and a bird, and even fantasy creatures such as mermaids and witches. There is a large variety of projects to choose from!

At the end of the book are the 3D project pictures which you can print out and be on your way to starting the great 3D project by coloring and cutting out parts of the picture.

A must for all kids and adults who love art and are looking for more creative ways to make art!
