Heck of a lot of fun for a creative person!, Nov 27 2007
By labellepersonne - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Color Your Own Classic Movie Posters (Paperback)
Some things/subjects do not translate well into a line drawing--and movie posters are definitely one of those.The original movie posters had a lot of undefined colors, highlights and shapes in them. (Small thumbnails of the posters are featured on the inside front cover and inside back cover of the book for easy reference.)
The artist did the best he could--and I assume he was trying to help by outlining where highlights were in the pictures--but the extra lines just confused me. So I ended up having to ignore them and just had fun coloring the pictures however I felt like. I also had an absolute ball thinking up my own comic taglines for the films and dialog for the characters featured in the poster. So this ended up being one of the most fun coloring books I've ever done.
However, if a person wants to do this from a serious perspective--I think they might be somewhat disappointed. The pictures are difficult to render in a way that will make them actually look like the original poster--and the drawings do not look very much like the actor or actress they represent, for the most part.
Level of difficulty would depend on how accurate you want it to be in comparison to the actual poster.
