Querkles Icons: A Puzzling Color-By-Number Book

mi ricorda molto i vecchi set della ravensburger che chi come me è figlio degli anni 80 avrà sicuramente provato, tanti volti da colorare numerino per numerino creando varie ombreggiature

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 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.

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

I bought this for myself over the summer and I absolutely love this book. It's a very relaxing way to spend an afternoon. I will say that while this book is oversized, some parts you color in are quite small so you'll need a fine tip or a well sharpened pencil, but that's easily achieved. I've had a lot of fun playing around with different color palettes and the end result is always impressive. This is a great book for any detail oriented person.
