JB, I'm glad you're considering doing a coloring book of any kind. I have
no advisements other than to have fun.

(Let's not ruin this, guys.)

The Marvel Essential lines were a perfect coloring book...for any artist including JB.
I'd buy a reading copy, and an extra one to tear up and scan to digitally color.
Aggravated as hell that this line was cancelled, as the FF, Hulk, Spider-Man and Thor lines had a few more volumes to go to hit some of my favorite runs.

If only this power...

Speaking of rubble, that was one of the first things I thought about when considering this project. I realized at once that the best way to do coloring book style drawing would be to rely on line thickness to create depth, much as I do in my other drawings, but that to keep the coloring book motif I'd include much less variation within those line. So, foreground would be thick lines, distant background very thin lines. But no thick-to-thin within them. And rubble depends upon a lot of line variance within the forms.

Of course, rubble also depends a lot on heavy shading, and there wouldn't be any of that, either!!

I'd love to see this project take off, JB. I hope some canny publisher (IDW?) is there for you if you'd like to do it.

I'll buy your coloring book JB, no matter if it's full of images of old people feeding birds in a park.

I would love to sit down with some Copic markers and a coloring book by John Byrne.

Or something like old aliens in a very weird looking park feeding the birds of that planet.
