Book Review: Reflections - A Celebration of Strange Symmetry by Kerby Rosanes

Reflections: A Celebration of Strange Symmetry Paperback – Coloring Book
by Kerby Rosanes
March 26, 2024
From the bestselling illustrator who has the whole word coloring, a sensational compilation of Kerby Rosanes’s iconic mirror imagery

Reflections brings together the most intricate and mesmerizing twin designs from Kerby’s spectacular universe. In his signature style of whimsy and fantasy, each of the scenes in this book is made of two halves, twinning counterparts, inviting readers to choose between harmonies and contradictions as they color the stunning images with subtle, wondrous differences between the two sides.

Featuring ninety-six double-sided pages of Kerby’s swirling symmetrical images printed on high-quality paper, this is Kerby’s most joyous coloring challenge yet. The colored-in artwork in the opening pages celebrates Kerby’s dedicated fan base by featuring their unique interpretations of his illustrations, inspiring all colorists, from beginners to experts, as they begin their colorful journeys and immerse themselves in the world of Reflections.

In Reflections, each design is mirrored on the opposite page so you can practice using color theory differently for the same design to see the difference it can make. Rosanes gives a brief description of color theory in the introduction. Six different artists picked a design to color and Rosanes gives an explanation of their techniques so you can learn from those too.

As always, Rosanes' art is detailed and rich. Lots of opportunity to express your creativity.

 Another coloring book from Kerby Rosanes! The artwork is curated from other coloring books by Kerby, so nothing new. But it is a chance to color again...maybe differently this time. The beginning includes some of the artwork colored by some talented colorists. He then talks about each piece and the techniques they used and gives some tips on how to use those techniques in your coloring.




 So much detail to play with! Have fun.

Publisher: Plume
A horror coloring book sequel to Dark Art, featuring intricate and macabre gothic artwork by illustrator François Gautier

The perfect coloring book for fans of all things spooky and colorists who love other intricate coloring books like those by Kerby Rosanes and Johanna Basford. This book will be packed with beautiful, complex illustrations of all the gothic classics: brooding ravens, gargoyles, creepy castles, and more!

This might be the most beautiful coloring book I've seen! I would call it expert level. Very detailed coloring will be needed. The artwork composition is fabulous! Gautier has outdone himself with this one!

Check out this coloring feast!
