Reviews
I love dot-to-dot books, Marvel, and Thomas Pavitte, so I was ecstatic to see that he was coming out with a book that combined all of those things. I pre-ordered this one and I have not been disappointed. The numbers are definitely very small, but with a bright light, I haven't had much difficulty deciphering the numbers. I've included a couple images of the small dots to give you a better idea of their size. It's certainly something to consider, and if you struggle to see small images you may need to use a magnifying glass for this one. It does help that all of Thomas's dot-to-dot books use a different ink color for each 100 numbers, so that makes it easier to find each number. Also, because each image has so many dots, you never have to draw very long lines. With other dot-to-dot books I often have to use a ruler because the lines can criss-cross across the entire page, but this book doesn't do that, so I haven't need to use a ruler at all to create clean straight lines. The numbers can get very close together, so be sure to use a fine-point pen or marker or you'll be drawing over your numbers a lot. I usually use between a 0.1mm- and 0.4mm size pigment liner. Sakura Pigma Micron's are my favorite for this book. I recommend tearing out each page before you begin working so you can lay it completely flat on a hard surface. I have several of the completed images hanging on my fridge and I get a lot of compliments about them.
