A write-in drill book by Miki Okuda, supervised by Yuzui Kotaki, that teaches how to color Buddhist paintings with colored pencils. The aim is warm, bright colors for the Buddhist figures.
The lessons go step by step. The first chapter practices basic blending and layering on skin, hair, hand gestures, robes, halos, lotus seats, the dharma wheel and lucky patterns. Next come faces, then full-length figures such as Shaka Nyorai and Bishamonten, and then sacred animals such as the white elephant, peacock, dragon, lion and Garuda.
The last chapter has twelve complete Buddhist paintings to color, including Dainichi Nyorai, Yakushi Nyorai, Fudo Myoo and Ashura. There are also pages of basic knowledge about the types of Buddhist figures, the patterns used in Buddhist paintings and how to tell the figures apart.
