Ninjas colouring book
On recent days selling my books face-to-face at markets and fairs, the one book which kids, both boys and girls, asked for was Ninjas! As a result, I have just published this Colouring book for kids – ninjas.
I set about drawing ninjas in various scenes and poses. Researching took quite a bit of time. I saw various ninja books on sale on Amazon, but despite having different covers by different authors, the contents looked the same. Maybe they have sourced their images from a stock library.
Fortunately, being able to draw, I was able to come up with my own scenarios. So I set about creating the fifty images which I felt would stir up the creativity of the kids. When I was a kid, I loved colouring books. As I did them, I made up stories and blurted out appropriate sounds. Even as an adult, I was doing this while creating these images. I guess it never leaves our imagination. My hope is these images bring out the same feelings and imagination for the kids how use my books.
Timescale
Although it’s a slow process, I get great satisfaction in drawing. These images took just over a month in total. The first thing is coming up with the scenarios with pencil and paper. Once they are complete, I photograph them and send them to my computer. From there, I import them to my drawing program and use them as a template. It’s quite a laborious process, but it’s one which works for me. Once they are all done, it’s a matter of selecting a ninja image to be on the front cover. As a result, I colour one in digitally rather than by coloured pencils. This gives a better reproduction when printed.
I hope you like the images here. Kids will be engaged with them and hopefully enjoy many hours of colouring. You can view it further on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B5KQKQ2X
