Querkles: Icons Paperback – 1 October 2015

Atende muito bem ao que destina de preenchimento, mas é um livro fino e poderia ter muito mais paginas.

This coloring book is so much fun! Starting to color in the spaces (mostly circles of varying sizes), which are indicated by numbers 1 through 5 and seeing a face emerge is part of what makes it so fun. You can either use five varying shades of one color, or five different colors, as long as you have enough difference between light and dark. It's the light and dark contrast that help the faces come to life.This book contains 21 pictures to color, which includes one large 19"x14" poster, each of which is an "icon" such as Marilyn Monroe, Abraham Lincoln, Elvis Presley, etc. For most of the pictures, you won't be able to tell who it is when you first start coloring. You will be well into the coloring process before you can guess who it is.Each picture takes quite a long time to color, as there are a lot of spaces to fill in. But this book is different from most adult coloring books, and different from most color-by-number coloring books, too. This is a unique experience and I feel like I am creating a masterpiece each time I color one of these gorgeous pictures. I recommend this highly and plan to buy the other versions, including Animals, Masterpieces and Cats.The paper these pictures are printed on is heavier and is good quality. The book is glue-bound and the pages are perforated on the side so you can take them out easily if you would like to either work on them outside of the book or frame them once you complete them.

Just fabulous! So many colour and effect possibilities! I honestly didn’t think I would enjoy this as much as art books which allow more opportunities to create your own masterpieces through shading, colours, etc., however these designs are so beautiful, and your imagination can still shine through in the textures, colours and shading styles you use. I have bought the others in the series as well and can’t wait to get at them! The only caution is for those with any vision issues—you will definitely need your glasses and good lighting for these as some of the circles can be teeny.

This is such a unique coloring book idea. I can't wait to start on these pages. I have a lot of adult coloring books but this is so different from anything I've tried before. I had a few friends over visiting when this arrived in the mail, and two of them ordered their own copy after seeing me unbox mine.EDIT: This has turned out to be one of my all-time favorite coloring books. I've had it for over a year now, and I can say this is the first coloring book that I've completely finished. I hope more in this series are published! I'd love to see a dog book or a second volume of Icons.The pages are thick enough to withstand alcohol markers, but there is some bleedthrough so put a sheet between pages just in case. There are so many ways to color the images, and I love trying out different methods like crosshatch, dots, and monochrome.

I'm studying for an extremely boring licensure exam and this coloring book has been my saving grace. I listen to my study videos while coloring - it's challenging enough that I don't fall asleep but not too challenging that I can't focus on my audio book. Beautiful pictures and very satisfying to complete, I can't thank you enough!! Please release more!
