This is Ironpower Publishing's first volume of Precious Pooches Dog coloring books. This is the first in a series, and has been designed to give coloring pleasure for both kids and adults alike. If you love both dogs and coloring, then this is the right book for you. Some of the dog breeds included in the book are Alaskan Malamute, Beagle, Bichon, Bull Dog, Burnese Mountain Dog, Cavalier Spaniel, Chihuahua, Chow Chow, Cocker Spaniel, Corgi, Dachshund, English Sheep Dog, French Mastiff, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Labrador, Maltese, Mongrel Dachshund Yorkshire, Poodle, Pug, Rottweiler, Schnauzer, Shih Tzu and more. Both puppies and older dogs are included.  We have used an advanced hybrid effect, where the line drawings for coloring have been enhanced with subtle shading and tones. This provides depth to the images, and makes realistic coloring more easily achieved. It is suitable for both children and adults because young children may choose to disregard the tonal guide outlines, and just color to the traditional solid lines used in normal coloring books; whereas adults may choose to adopt a much more advanced coloring style, by using the tonal shading as a guide to where to create color gradations and variations. In this way we hope to satisfy the coloring needs of both the very young, and not so young.  All the line drawings in the book have been rendered from our Precious Pooches volume 1 colored photo images book. All 46 images in this volume have been printed on one side of the paper only, for the best coloring experience. Doing this minimizes the chances of colors bleeding through pages and spoiling other images.  Photocopying of the images for personal use is allowed, so you can color the images multiple times if you so desire. This is good if you wish to frame your colored images into your own unique works of art, without pulling this book apart, or if you just want to have a practice before coloring directly into the book.  For the coloring medium, most colorists will prefer using colored pencils, but there are many other great mediums, such as pastels and crayons. So use whichever you prefer, and let your artistic talents shine! We hope you enjoy coloring these images as much as we enjoyed creating them :)
