Animal Querkles: A puzzling colour-by-numbers book

Es un buen recurso para profesores su una actividad estupenda para niños y jóvenes.

I had never heard of Querkles before but I love adult colouring books so when I was offered this for review on Amazon Vine I put in my request immediately. I have to admit I was a little sceptical about a colour-by-numbers book, sure I loved paint-by-numbers pictures as a child but I was worried it would be far too boring for an adult to colour in. Rest assured this is in no way boring and I'm absolutely loving this colouring book so far! This book contains 20 different images to colour, all printed on a single sheet of A3 paper that is thick enough to colour with sharpie pens without damaging the next picture in the book. The pages are also perforated to make it easy to tear out the designs you're finished with in case you want to frame and display them. Each image is made up of hundreds of interconnected circles of all different sizes and they're all designed to be coloured in using five different colours or five shades of a single colour. Because of the way the images are created it's actually very difficult to tell before starting what animal you're actually going to be creating but there is a page showing black & grey thumbnails of each finished design at the back if you want to take a sneaky peak. Personally I prefer to be surprised as I start colouring. So before you get started you'll need to choose 5 colours for your image. They can be shades of the same colour or contrasting colours but you need to line them up from dark to light, 1 being the darkest and 5 being the lightest. I'd personally recommend using pens to colour the image since the area you'll be colouring is on the large side and pen also has the best chance of hiding the numbers once you're complete. I'm not going to lie you can still see the numbers even through my sharpies but from a slight distance they're not really noticeable and they don't detract from the finished image. I think the hardest part of this colouring book is actually selecting the colours you want to use but it's also a lot of fun. I'd recommend having some scrap paper on hand to try out different combinations before you start colouring the actual book, especially if you're planning on using bold or unusual colour combinations, so that you can get a better idea of what works and what doesn't. Half the fun of this book is going to be experimenting though so don't be afraid to take risks or try something new. I've attached a few pictures to this review: 1. Shows an uncoloured image to give you an idea of what the pages look like 2. A collage showing how the Giraffe picture slowly comes to life as you add each colour 3. A larger pic of the finished Giraffe 4. A collage showing the progress I made on the Camel (the second pic in the book) That should be enough to help you decide whether you want to buy this book or not (trust me you DO!) without giving you spoilers for most of the images in the book (there are 18 other designs I've not even coloured in yet!).

C'est livre est tellement magnifique que j'ai du mal à m'arrêter. Avec des feutres à alcool, le coloriage va vite, malgré la taille A3 du livre. Au début du coloriage, je n'ai aucune idée de ce que je colorie. C'est une surprise merveilleuse découvrir l'animal.

Carnet de bonne qualité, les feutres ne transpercent pas le papier. Je recommande à 100%😉😉

Best adult colouring book available on the market! It is simple enough for an older child to do but you can make it really challenging as an adult by trying different techniques like cross-hatching, paint or stippling.
