Absolutely lovely adult coloring book. I love all things owl, and the owls presented in this book were perfect. Rich with detail, the designs range from pretty owls with paisleys and flowers, to whimsical owls wearing top hats and playing instruments. The pages are a thicker card stock and hold up nicely with gel pens and markers, but beware of over-saturation as the paper will start to pill in spots. I used gel pens with some, shading pencils with others, and art markers with the rest. Pencils Absolutely lovely adult coloring book.

You don't have to be a huge fan of owls (though it would probably help) to enjoy this coloring book. You will find that there are 31 different highly detailed owl designs to get lost in.

Each design takes up the page and is single sided. Being single sided is fantastic if you are a fan of coloring with marker. The paper does seem to have some thickness to it, but to be on the safe side I would recommend placing a separate sheet between the designs in case markers decide to bleed through.

That way the design on the following page will not get ruined.

What is also really nice about this coloring book is that each page is perforated. This will allow you to remove any design you wish with ease. This feature will allow you to display your work once you have completed it without the worry of ruining it.

This adult coloring book is sure to give hours of enjoyment.

Complexity: Moderate
Paper Quality: Standard weight (similar to printer/fax paper) perforated pages
Illustrations: 31 owlish drawings on single-sided pages

The illustrations in Owls has a whimsical feel that is almost similar to the Zentangle method but not as busy. As seen in the above image, Sarnet mixes pattern styles which makes the illustrations pop more once you add color. I loved Sarnet’s illustration style so much that I purchased two different coloring books by her—Creative Cats being the Complexity: Moderate

I loved Sarnet’s illustration style so much that I purchased two different coloring books by her—Creative Cats being the other book. I would recommend this coloring book for anyone that enjoys owls, whimsical imagery, and mix-n-match patterns.

Creative Haven coloring books use some of the best standard weight paper quality I have experienced. I rated this coloring book as moderate since the illustration style feels appropriate for moderate to experienced colorists due to the heavy detailing, but a beginner colorist could easily enjoy this coloring book since the paper quality is so versatile with different coloring mediums. The framing lines around each illustration makes for a cleaner coloring experience as there are defined ending points to each illustration. Also, this illustrator is not afraid of using extensive detailing so be prepared to spend several hours coloring a single page, but the coloring experience is well worth the time and effort.

I found that almost every coloring medium works well with Creative Haven coloring books since they use some of the best quality paper in their coloring books. Even though the paper quality is still standard weight, the pulp level of the page is smooth like the gloss on laser printer or portfolio paper. The smoother surface works amazing with soft lead color pencils and allows for a smooth blending process, but the extensive detailing can cause some complications so make sure to keep a sharp tip at all times for those tighter spaces. I noticed that even hard lead color pencils apply smooth on the page like the soft lead color pencils—cheap or expensive, the quality of the coloring utensil doesn’t matter as everything applies like high quality. For the smaller detailed areas, I would recommend using a fine-tipped marker, gel pen, or an extremely sharp color pencil. Similar to other Creative Haven coloring books, I noticed similar issues with bleed-through levels while using both water and permanent based markers. So consider taking advantage of the perforated edges or place wax paper between pages to prevent bleed-through issues.

Karácsonyi ajándékként került hozzám az illusztrátor egy másik műve, a Macskák című felnőtt színező, ami annyira kedvemre való volt, hogy aztán muszáj volt megrendelnem a baglyos kifestőt is. Szeretem a baglyokat, szóval örültem, hogy a grafikus kezei közül kikerült másik színező fő témájául ezek a madarak szolgáltak. A könyv tökéletesen megfelelt az elvárásaimnak; a benne található illusztrációk nagyon tetszettek és szívesen dolgoztam rajtuk. A rajzok jópofák, választékosak és kidolgozottak – Karácsonyi ajándékként került hozzám az illusztrátor egy másik műve, a Macskák című felnőtt színező, ami annyira kedvemre való volt, hogy aztán muszáj volt megrendelnem a baglyos kifestőt is.

Annyira bele lehet merülni a képekbe, hogy az ember meg is feledkezik a körülötte lévő dolgokról. ...more

There are a lot of great pictures and you don't need to spend a lot to get this book. It is perfect for a gift or for those who love animals as well as coloring. This is another great coloring book by Creative Heaven andi highly recommend it. It's not so challenging as to be frustrating, but is more difficult than a child's book.

This is definitely one of my favourite colouring books, although the different pages can feel a tad samey if you don't just dip in and out.

The paper is quite thin, but then the images are only one sided.

The book is full of fun and quite cartoony owl drawings that suit quite a range of crazy colours.

These are very complex pictures. I wish that some of them would be drawn a bit simpler, but coloring them does help me relax. It always has. These allow me to concentrate on the finer details while I am coloring.

Fun, but too repetitive. You can tell some of the images are just mirrors of each other with a couple small changes.
