Querkles: A Puzzling Colour-By-Numbers Book

I have been coloring for over 30 years. I am so excited to see adult coloring taking off. I am constantly looking for amazing adult coloring books, but this is my absolute favorite of them all. To date, I have purchased and colored two of each of Thomas's Querkle books. I am very excited to see a new book will be released in June.

I am amazed by this book. I was so excited when it came and I saw how big it was. I expected it to be a standard size coloring book, but it's much bigger. Big enough that the photos can (easily) be torn out and framed nicely. I had posted a photo of this book on Facebook when I got it because I was so excited about it and a ton of people messaged me and were interested in where they could purchase it. I love that you can use any 5 colors or shades which means you can really make these more original or match whatever decor you have if you decide to frame them. The back page has the photos of each person in the order they are in in the book. I found this very handy because you can't really tell who is in the photo until you start to color it. Sometimes I look in the back and choose a specific person, other times I just open it to any uncolored page and like to be surprised at which photo I'm coloring in.You choose colors 5 different colors or you can choose 5 shades of one color, basically any combination you would like as long as you choose colors that go from light to dark. Color number 5 is the darkest and color number 1 is the lightest. I've mostly been using colored pencils, which are okay, but I would definitely recommend marker (especially if you can afford to purchase a set of prismacolor markers) and you could even use paint/watercolor if you wanted as the photos are only on one side with the other side blank.

Very relaxing and fun

Very fun and entertaining.

Just remember this isn't your "typical" coloring book...it's also big so don't expect to fit it into your backpack! Super relaxing and fun to see the faces emerge.

I absolutely love these books but I will mention that the pages of this book are larger than that of the masterpieces collection and it does not include the poster size version that the other book includes. Neither of these are a big deal to me but I wanted to mention it to potential future buyers. I hope they create more.

I had gotten into coloring, a couple of months ago. I use Markers, Colored Pencils, and Pencils. I absolutely love Spiroglyphics. It's Stress Relieving.

What a unique and diferent concept. Tired of all the same coloring books out there. What a nice refreshing challenge.
