Shine Bright is part drawing tutorial, part introduction to bullet journaling, and part magic. Due out 14th Feb 2020 from Schiffer on their Better Day Books imprint, it's 96 pages and will be available in paperbound format.
This is a line drawn black and white book filled with drawing and writing prompts. The art is exuberant, simple, and appealing. Although aimed at younger/tween readers, this would also be a great selection for child minders, friends, and relations who are upping their 'draw with me' repertoires. I worked through a few of the drawing tutorials and managed a credible mermaid, cupcakes, and some flamingos. Lots and lots of fun. The drawing pages are perfect for coloring with pens, pencils, or crayons.
Hours and hours of intelligent fun with a positive message (you can do it, you are super fun, be silly, your imagination has no limits, etc etc). The vibe is upbeat and kind and a lot of fun.
Beautifully done. I enjoyed the tutorials and the message. And there are llamas wearing heart shaped sunglasses!
Five stars.
