Intricate Ink Animals In Detail Volume 3

Three's a Charm!

by Tim Jeffs


25 images to color in a casebound book on high-quality paper


Available to order here:


With the release of 25 all new animal drawing in my latest coloring book "Intricate Ink Animals in Detail Volume 3" colorist will now have a total of 100 of my drawings to color between my three books in any way they can dream up. I've been overwhelmed with excitement to be publishing my 3rd coloring book in this series. Published by Pomegranate Communications of Portland Oregon it is another beautifully printed casebound coloring book with a special lay-flat binding and sturdy flexible cover. It's the same size as my previous two coloring books 8 1/2" x 11" and each coloring page is blank on the back so they can be cut out and displayed after coloring. It's been another ground breaking year of creativity for me and the support and inspiration I have received from my social media followers has been more than I could have ever imagined! The outpouring of joy from animal lovers and colorist from around the world to color in my books has driven me to draw more than I ever have in years past. 

Educating myself as well as others

I've included it this volume 25 new animals, many that are endangered or threatened. Like the Clouded Leopard which lives in the Himalayan foothills of Southeast Asia. Only 10,000 of them exist in the wild today. Also, the Resplendent Quetzal of Central America. An exquisitely beautiful bird that is also threatened. And the Pangolin of Africa and Asia. This incredibly interesting species has been put on the Red List of Threatened Species due to poaching and has now been properly listed as being threatened with extinction. As I decide which animals I want to draw and include in my books a big consideration is to pass on the fragile state that many of these animals are facing and hopefully educate others to the need for conservation efforts to save them.

A circle of creativity continues to grow

Many of the animals in Volume 3 were also suggestions from the users of Volume 1 and 2. This collaboration between me and the coloring artist has been so wonderful to experience. Having direct contact with the users of my book from all around the world, many that have become social media friends, is a truly incredible way of becoming inspired myself. This creative environment really motivates me like nothing I have ever encountered before. These coloring artists are incredibly talented thinkers and constantly amaze me with their work! Seeing the vast and imaginative ways they finish my drawings with color is extremely creative and motivates me to continue the collaborative circle by producing more drawings for them. I owe so much of my creative drive over the last few years directly to their support, and want to personally thank them for it.

Sharing my creative knowledge on YouTube


This year I'm very excited to announce that I am launching a YouTube Channel. It will become a place where I can give back creativity to the community of colorists that have made publishing my books possible. Going forward I will post videos talking about how I approach drawing and coloring. I'll share my drawing techniques and the tools I use to create my drawings and also take users of my books through step by step instructional videos of how fun my animal drawings can be to color. I'll also post videos as I create my animal drawings letting people experience my drawing process from the initial idea of a drawing to the published product. Please subscribe and join me in being more creative together!

  1. Dear Mr. Jeffs,
    I bought your book entitled Animals in detail. Your drawings are very beautiful. However, I found that some of them are too dark grey on the inside. Even using Prismacolor coloured pencils, I was unable to obtain bright colours. Could you recommend a brand of coloured pencils that could work on the dark grey areas of the drawings? Or are there lighter grey editions of your book? Thank you for your kind attention and help. Best regards, Elisabeth.
