Geomorphia: An Extreme Coloring and Search Challenge

I love Kerby Rosanes artwork but the biggest pet peeve is that most of his books are printed double sided. It is truly a shame because you must limit yourself on what medium you use or you ruin the image on the other side. And don't get me started on those two page spreads - beautiful beyond compare, but you need to break the spine of the book to get them flat enough to properly color across the seam, and even then... well you all know what I am talking about :-)Now THIS book is SINGLE sided - and though there are of course, no two page spreads, it is going to make coloring the images so much more enjoyable because I don't have to limit my media or keep checking to be sure I didn't 'go through' and ruin the image on the other side. And they did not go to a cheaper paper either, this is still the same thick, nice paper that we've come to expect from Kerby Rosanes books. The images are all lovely, though some are duplicated in other books I have, but that is fine with me as it means I can experiment with different color schemes.I strongly call out to the printers (and to Kerby if he has any say here!) of these books to start making them ALL single sided - this can be done even with double page spreads, so there is NO reason to keep making such beautiful images so difficult to color due to the limitations on media or the choice needing to be made to sacrifice one of the images in order to color the other.

This book is so awesome. Great pictures to color

Love this book

I really enjoy the art work in this book. I have only utilized one page so far just to get an estimated time it would take me to finish a page. I didn't actually track my time, but it took a few days to complete. This will be great for me during the fall and winter when I need my adhd brain stimulated from being closed inside, that's if I can leave it alone before then.

Is it his best work?.. No, probably not. But I still like it. Kerby's work is very distinct and unlike anything else prior. Would I have been upset had I pre-ordered it sight unseen (who does that anyway???) for list price (~$12)?.. Yep, probably. But I waited and I knew what i was getting for the money (~$6) I was spending. I feel like this is a $5-$6 book. His first books were definitely worth the $10+ they were priced at and his newest book (Worlds within worlds) IMO is worth what it's listed at. I'd probably still want worlds within worlds if it was twice as much. If this one isn't "good enough" for you check out the newer one. I think it's my favorite so far. I get it the first books and the newest release are amazing pre-colored. This one just seems to fall short. However, this book becomes AMAZING once colored. Check out the finished work from this book in videos online and you will see what I mean. I love this little book. Perfect for using wet media because it's not double sided. I'm assuming that was what he had in mind and I would suggest this book for someone that likes to "paint" in there coloring books or use markers. Still make sure you test before using any sort of wet media and always put a piece of paper behind the picture your coloring. If you have never tried inktense pencils with a tombow colorless blender, I highly recommend, you don't know what your missing. If you own inktense or some other water soluble pencils, this maybe what you're looking for. I can't wait to try all my water/ink pencils in this book. Finally something without pictures on both side. Regular colored pencils in everything gets old. Thanks Kerby, I'm still a fan, not mad at all.

Bought as time-killer activity for adult male kid (30 yrs old) on camping trip with no tv/wifi. Wouldnt regularly anticipate "coloring" as a cool passtime for full-grown dudes, but all the girls got books too, so why not? The artwork in this series is absolutely AMAZE-balls. No foo-foo fluffy flowery stuff, serious artwork. Extensive and intense detailing. I paired with set of 48 ultra fine tip markers that were a great buy, also from Amazon. At one point I looked up from stirring sauce during a rainstorm, and every person in our group was engaged in "coloring" these adult books or simply thumbing thru to appreciate the artwork...highly recommend.

I love all Kerry Rosanes books! They are so unique and awesome I think I pretty much have them all collected by now. Definitely recommend them 💯

I only colored in Teresa Goodridge's books, but was ready for a small change. Well, this book is a big change for me and I love it. Lots of detail but challenges are calming for me (weird I know). The artwork takes you to another place beyond eccentric. So fascinating. I also purchased Mythamorphia and just wow. I'll finish this one first to familiarize myself with this artist since there are one one-sided pages to color. Then, I'll graduate to the double-sided pages in Mythamorphia. Get this one first if you're new to Kerby Rosanes art. I highly recommend. Can't wait for Fragile World to come out in March.

Bought this for my granddaughter, who does a lot of art, and she loved it

Me encanta!! Las hojas son muy gruesas para pintar con plumones.

As described
