Querkles: Cats

I have been searching to get another cat querkle book as I finished my last one, I had a really hard time finding them, but then found bookland on amazon had them, I was so happy and ordered 2, when recieved the packaging was awsome, they took a lot of care in shipping my books. I love, love , love these books. I definetly recommend both cat querkles and bookland

Another Querkles book from Thomas Pavitte, this time nothing but cats. Not only housecats but a couple of big cats - a lion, tiger, and cheetah. This are all full-face portraits so that feline gaze is central to the picture. The housecats are varied - many tabbies but also a Siamese, a Persian, and an Abyssinian. (There may be other breeds but it is hard to tell with the small thumbnails.) Oversized 10" x 14" format means more coloring pleasure and the pages are single-sided and perforated for a great experience; 20 pages plus a fold-out 19" x 14" poster. If you've looked at the Querkles series and been intimidated, don't be. Although a page may look like a difficult maze of areas, it is really quite relaxing to fill in the different areas, watching the image gradually come into being. (The big picture and numbers could be too much for a child; also you want good lighting to work on these, as the printing for the lightest areas is quite light to not show through. To get started, pick out one of the less complex drawings and choose five colors with a variety of shades. For your first, maybe just use five shades of the same color to get started; either browns or greys will work great with these cats. You'll quickly see how the drawings fill in and figure out your own approach for the most fun. (I tend to go from lightest to darkest so if I misapply a light color and catch it later, the dark color can cover it.)

No sólo son gatos sino que también incluye: Un tigre Lince Jaguar León El calidad del papel es muy buena, como el resto de los libros de Thomas Pavitte

I love these Querkles books. I started with "Masterpieces", which is a very fine volume, and moved on to this book of felines. It has a nice mix of big cats and domestic cats, kittens and adults, beautiful and comical. The size of the book is larger than a typical coloring book, as befits pictures you might want to display, and the paper quality is excellent -- thick and smooth, and very receptive to pen and marker ink. It is not bad for Prismacolor pencils, either. The pages are perforated to facilitate removal. I like experimenting with different techniques, like marker pointillism and filling in the sections with short fur-like strokes. The Siamese, which I did entirely with different densities of brown and black "fur" strokes (except for light blue in the eyes), came out looking just like my two dear departed seal points. I fear I'll never want to go back to regular "boring" adult coloring books!

Our entire family family loves querkles! They’re fun to work on alone (almost meditative!) or as a family and they look super cool when you’re done. We received the Animals book as a gift and loved them so much we bought Cats. Highly recommended.
