The Official Morgana and Oz Coloring Book is a coloring book featuring the very popular webcomic characters in their familiar style. Released 9th April 2024 by Quarto on their Walter Foster imprint, it's 96 pages and is available in paperback format.

The layout has a fresh and unusual (for Walter Foster) format. It's set up very much like a webcomic, with breakaway panels and a comics layout and flow. The introduction shows characters in colored panels side by side to color and/or embellish. There's also a QR code which links to online content/the latest episode of the webtoon.

This is a beginner to advanced book but full of good technique to copy and color for anime style art/cartooning and will provide some useful takeaways for the majority of readers/artists who are interested in copying and learning the style. The pages (and there are many) dealing with positioning, emotional expressions, and facial features are especially detailed and useful (not just for drawing these particular characters). 

Five stars. This would be an excellent choice for public or school library acquisition, home use, activity/makers' groups libraries, home studio, or gift giving, maybe with a sketch pad and markers/pens.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
