Setup and Preparation
Before you begin your coloring journey, ensure you have your preferred coloring tools ready. This book is compatible with various mediums, including colored pencils, gel pens, and markers.
Paper Quality and Bleed-Through Prevention:
The Cozy Friends Coloring Book features 40 hand-drawn, single-sided pages. This design helps to prevent bleed-through, especially when using markers. However, to ensure optimal results and protect subsequent pages, it is highly recommended to place a protective sheet (such as a piece of cardstock or thick paper) behind the page you are currently coloring.

Test Color Page:
A dedicated "Test Color Page" is included at the beginning of the book. Utilize this page to swatch your markers or test your chosen colors and mediums. This allows you to familiarize yourself with how different colors appear on the paper and helps in planning your palette for each illustration.

Maintenance and Care
To preserve the quality of your Cozy Friends Coloring Book and your completed artworks, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Storage: Store the coloring book flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent pages from warping or colors from fading.
- Handling: Handle pages carefully to avoid creases, tears, or smudges.
- Protection: Always use a protective sheet behind the page you are coloring, especially with wet mediums like markers, to prevent ink transfer to the next illustration.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Ink bleed-through to next page | Using markers or wet mediums without a protective barrier. | Place a blank sheet of paper or cardstock behind the page you are coloring. |
