I bought a set of 150 Prisimacolor colored pencils and I doubt these challenges could be completed with anything less. There is a wide spectrum in the color keys and even with 150 pencils it was often difficult to match the shade. 2. Check the thumbnails before selecting your pencils for each project. Some might call this “cheating” but it reality it helps to choose distinct shades that will enhance the integrity of the image. 3. Challenges with blank white space between each colored shape (EXS: parrot, owl, crab) are much easier to color and the images are obviously identifiable in the end. The challenges with identical repeating geometric shapes (EXS: penguins, snail, flamingos) are much more difficult because you can’t incorporate important artistic distinctions without first identifying lines between the colors that are intentionally “hidden.” TAKEAWAY. These challenges were fun and relaxing, colorful and diverse and extremely addicting. I ordered the City Scapes edition as soon as I finished Color Quest. Review: Love this coloring book! - Love this coloring book! Paper quality is good and thick. One page of coloring takes hours to complete! The coloring is relaxing and makes time passes by super fast.

Very fun and exciting
I am a big fan of this coloring series! I love how, on most of the pages, you have no idea what you are coloring until after you follow the color-by-number key and make progress. The mosaic picture are also a lot of fun and really pop once color is added. The finished pictures look great. Also, the price cannot be beat. The book is oversized (so don’t expect to fit it in a backpack or on your lap) and there are 30 big pictures to color (each of which will take hours!). Highly recommended as a great investment of fun over time.

Overall a fun book that can keep you busy for a while
This book has a bunch of pages to color. I only colored a few pages, but from just those few pages, it does seem to take time to color it in. I should say it could take 1 to a couple of days to finish one page unless you work on it constantly with no breaks. I do think it's a fun book, and after you finish coloring it, you can see how it turns out and what it's suppose to be.

Amazing Books!
As a amateur colorist since a couple years before the adult coloring “phenomena” hit a few years ago, I’ve really come to love these few Color Quest books! Even those the so called craze has died down, I sure hope Mr. Woodcock and the publisher keep making them! I’ll start by saying—these are definitely not for everyone. They’re time consuming and some would call tedious. Despite that, I adore them! The final products look amazing, especially once you learn to make your own tweaks with colors and technique. Here are a few tips that might help some folks out: -With the color by number books, it definitely is a bummer to see numbers in your finished product. I’ve tried everything from erasing to using a tiny dab of white acrylic paint, etc. Nothing works great, so what I generally do is try to substitute from deeper, darker colors. I plan out my colors before I start a piece and mark notes in the left margin by the suggested colors. I realize that the publishers need to weigh how dark to make the numbers with how easily most people can see them. -I believe the pictures look better when you outline with a sharp point before filling in. I outline, sometimes very lightly, with Prisma Verithins , Prisma Scholars, and Prisma Col-erase. I fill in with a variety-from Prisma Prisma Premiers (but the softness ugh), Polychromos, anything really. The pieces def look better with the most opaque pencils possible, whether that’s from a heavy hand or layering. I have used pens, but my preference is pencil for almost everything I do. -If I’m finding a piece sort of monotonous-I’ll outline for a while, switch colors, or even take a break to do an easier picture. It’s pretty cool once your pic comes together though! -This last point is a plea to Barron’s, John Woodcock, etc. PLEASE make more of the mosaic style pieces, with the white in between. The final product looks SO much better and for obviously take s a bit less time to complete with less to color. I do both styles but the mosaics are killer! I think they’ve figured that out, because the last buildings book has many more mosaics. I would love all of these animals pics to be mosaics! Overall, really love the Color Quest books. Sadly, I’m not impressed with “coloring quest” similar looking books. There’s just no comparison. If you’re an adult or teen colorist who loves a challenge, give them a try!

Fun, creative!
This is such a fun coloring book! My husband and I have used several of the pages already and can't wait to finish the book! I also bought one for my 86 year old grandma, as she is an avid colorer (it helps keep her brain healthy and active), she likes it also, but it is hard for her to see the numbers and lines, so she uses a magnifying glass and a bright light. But if you don't have any vision issues, then it could be the perfect book for you!

This book is even better than the first one in the series!
This is the second book in the Color Quest series, and it is fantastic! It's even better than the first book which I was completely in love with. I cannot say enough good things about this newest addition. My only complaint is that I wish there were more books like this to purchase (hint, hint). The pages are gigantic, and the paper is heavy weight and of good quality so that the ink does not bleed through to the other pages behind it. Perforated pages make it easy to share with a friend or take a page on-the-go. The variety of the pictures help to keep this book interesting from start to finish, and with 30 large pictures to color, this book will last you a long time. I highly recommend this book! Note: I have included some completed pictures to give you an idea of what types of images you can expect.

When adult colouring books were all the craze I probably got 10 of them but never really coloured them... Cut to, being introduced to this book. Colour by numbers is mind-numbingly addictive. A fun and great way to wind down after a long day of work (better than looking at my phone for hours on end). Would recommend if you are looking for a creative way to unwind/not have to think much and don't want to be on your phone/tablet/watch tv.

Je suis très enchantée de mon achat. Ce cahier est de grand format, avec une couverture solide et les feuilles sont faites de papier de qualité. Chacune des pages comportent des défis différents, soit mosaique, hexagone, carré... et les pages se détachent facilement. Les chartes de couleurs sont simples donc il en devient facile de trouver la bonne teinte. Toujours un plaisir de colorier et de découvrir le beau résultat. Color Quest est tout simplement devenu ma marque, je recommande.
