Reviews
I just have to say that I am totally in love with Querkles! I've bought all four books, and this author is amazing! If you are a creative type who loves adult coloring books, but also enjoys using your left brain for mind bending puzzles, then this is definitely the right fit for you. It is so much fun to start out with a bunch of random circles and end up with a masterpiece. I've used markers and colored pencils, and both turned out equally good (pictures are attached). I think it strictly comes down to personal preference, and I like to alternate what I use. I will say that I enjoyed the Animals and Masterpieces books the most because the Cats and Icons books get a little repetitive (cat after cat vs. person after person). I prefer being surprised by my work in progress, and hope that the author makes more books with a greater variety in the future. The perforated pages make it easy to share with others, and everyone I've shown these to has gotten themselves hooked and went on to order their own books. Give it a shot - I promise, you won't be disappointed!HINT: If you are going to use markers, I suggest starting with the lightest color first, and gradually working to the darkest. For instance, color all the 5's, then all the 4's, and so on till you get to all the 1's. This will prevent the darker colors from bleeding and give you crisper lines. I have attached a series of pictures so that you can see the process.
