Color Quest: Cityscapes: 30 Extreme Challenges to Complete and Color

If you have the right expectations, this book can be a great deal of fun! The idea is that you color in areas according to a color key and reveal an architectural landscape. In addition there is a page of thumbnail coloring guides to the design. This is a very large format coloring book - almost 11 by 15 inches, with the design on single-sided, perforated pages. There are 20 different designs, in a range of complexities, though most are fairly complex. Things to consider if you are thinking of getting this book: --the individual areas to color can be quite small, the size of a match head in some. With the large page size, it will require some sustained effort to finish an image. So if you like quick-to-complete designs, you may find it frustrating. If you like a prolonged coloring project though, this will likely satisfy. --between the small areas to color and the fact that the outlines and color number are printed in a very light gray (so as not to interfere with your finished colored page), you will want to have very good light to work on the designs. You may also want a piece of cardboard underneath to help stabilize the book as you work, if you don't have a desk/table to work on. With the very light gray lines, this is not a coloring book for someone with poor eyesight, problems with eyestrain, or low lighting situations. -- if you really want to get fairly close to the colors in the color keys, you'll need many more than just primary colors, or patience with mixing, Some of the designs are very geometric and pattern-like - almost like a quilt, and others more realistic but still stylized, like a graphic travel poster A nice selection of buildings from around the world.

The pictures in this book are beautiful. I initially thought 30 pictures was too little and was concerned I would go through them quickly but the level of detail that you have to color in is quite high and this will take a good amount of time to work through. About half of the pictures are made up of small hexagons or squares and the other half are made of different shapes, including very tiny spaces to fill in. Definitely need markers with fine tips or gel pens if you're not using colored pencils. I thought the quality of the paper was good and each picture is printed on only one side so you don't have to worry about bleed through. I used Crayola Supertips and you can barely see any bleed through in the back. The pages are also perforated so I can easily remove each page as I'm working on it. Makes it much easier to color in the fine details.

Fell in love with this during deployment as it came inside a care package. Repurchased it and now my kids color with me.

I absolutely love these books!! If you color & are thinking about giving color by number a whirl , be prepared to be addicted!!!! Or if you are just looking to add to your Color Quest books, you will not be disappointed!!! I travel a lot so this is one of my favorite Color Quest books! With Color Quest , your picture is a mystery until you are finished. You might have an idea half way through coloring that you may be seeing the Empire State Building but it is not until you are completely finished that you know for sure & all the little details come to life!!! Coloring is most relaxing for me & helps me escape from my stressful day at work. Color Quest books are my favorite!!!

I first saw these in a bookstore but i just knew i could find this coloring book and others for way cheaper on here. As a big fan of adult coloring books i was really excited about this one as it is different than you typical color by number. I really enjoyed the pixel like squares to color in and that the numbers were easy to read. On some of the pictures it was hard to match the colors given but i just used what I had was the closest color to that and picture still came out great! I hope they make more books!

Ganz tolle Bilder, viele davon in Mosaik Form ( ca die Hälfte ),der Rest in Quadrat, Sechseck und Dreieck Form, ganz toll zu malen,da es sich um eine sehr gute Papierqualität handelt, einseitig bedruckt ohne das sich etwas durchdrückt. Ich kann alle drei Bände dieser Serie nur zu gern empfehlen, bisher nichts höherwertiges und schöneres gefunden. Schade, daß es davon noch nicht mehr gibt. Die Zahlen sind gut lesbar aber nur grau gedruckt, so daß sie nach der Colorierung gar nicht oder nur noch schwach zu sehen sind. Ich bevorzuge Gel pens und Buntstifte aber auch für Wasserfarben gut geeignet, Papier wellt sich nicht.

Me paso horas pintando y este libro m gusta mucho las hojas grandes y gruesas yo m e gogido todos lo e ido coleccionando la pena k no hay muchos

Great book - for some reason it is bigger than anticipated, making it easier to use ! This is a gift for someone but I looked through it and am jealous and want one myself ! Bigger than A4. So pretty and well layed out! Just wished the site gave the option to buy the pencils that go with as the ones i bought separately are not 100% an exact colour match :) Perfect and would recommend !

Adorei os desenhos.

Great book beautiful pictures but why do you put different covers on coloring books when I already have the book but it has a different cover on it
