Colourmorphia by Kerby Rosanes | Book Review, US/UK Comparison

[@rosemaryhatchett9694]

I think that your one of my favorite colorist because of the time you take to explain things and how you make beginners like myself very comfortable. Thank you💕

[@debbien.3315]

I love how your fish turned out. I love that they just had a single fish in this book. I loved coloring the double spread in the original book but I love the chance to color the fish again but trying something different without having to tackle a double page spread again.

[@michellewright5527]

I just took a screenshot of the page with the wolf. I have Wondermorphia. I'm going to attempt drawing the second half of it into the book so I can colour the whole thing. I love Kerby Rosanes artwork. Your fish looks amazing 💖

[@patriciacolors7178]

The UK version is just lovely.I got my U.S. version late March and I love the examples in the front and the pictures he choose.I had no Kerby books so this was wonderful.Great video👍

[@nathalieprudhomme]

You are SO talented. That fish is the most gorgeous drawing I ever saw. Amazing.

[@colourmered6800]

Beautiful piece....I love your work. I appreciate the speed color, with voice-over. Today I chanced upon this book at a book store and I cannot wait to get started. It's quite intimidating but your videos are extremely helpful! Thanks Claire.

[@tracyg7469]

I have the US edition and the spine opens nice and flat. I have found in the previous US versions of his books there was a white line down the middle of the spine and it wasn't bound very well. Michael O'Mara books have sewn spines and they are usually much better. I really love the paper in the US version and I think this may be the first of all of his books that I don't need to buy the UK version.

[@connieedwards6580]

These kind of books/pages are so intimidating to me. So when I see one colored, I'm in awe ❤⚘

[@lindseywarren44]

Absolutely beautiful, my dear! I loved this so much! I can't wait to try the sunlight shading in the water. As always, you enormously inspire me 💗 Blessings

[@cassieepouncy4375]

HOLY BEANS!! CLAIRE UR WORK IS BEAUTIFUL!! I COULD NEVER ATTEMPT TO COLOR IN BOOK LIKE THIS EVER! I WOULD BE SO NERVOUS ,THE ARTWORK IS SO INTRICATE. AND U KNO JUST HOW TO MATCH UR COLORS. SOO GORGEOUS 💙💙💙

[@deannaaddyman9719]

I absolutely love your videos!! I have watched them all!!! And have purchased many of the items I have reviewed!!

[@tonihouston8745]

What a fantastic idea. Great for kids, grandkids and adults as well. Good for those long car journeys, to keep the children happy. All contained within it self.

[@positronixartandlife4545]

12:48 Late comment but I didn't see anyone mention it - this is a kitsune (ki-tsu-neh) from Japanese mythology. The more tails a fox has, the older and wiser it is. It was indeed the inspiration for the Vulpix and Ninetails pokemon line :)

[@susanhoward7742]

This picture is stunning Claire well done I really enjoyed watching💖

[@callys2642]

Colouring has really helped me during my A-levels as a way to de-stress and your videos are my favourite to watch when I can’t get home and get the prismacolours out, Thank you!!

[@eileenduckett3012]

Loved the fish you coloured in and the way you made the rays of he sun. Iv just got my copy of the book bet mine won’t look as good as yours. Love you posts. Thanks.

[@kel06901]

I got my US version of this book today, which was ironic as you just started the Blog post. I can’t wait to see what all the artist come up with. Congratulations on being his first artist in the series. The fish looks awesome by the way. Love your work. 💖🐟

[@HillbillyTrash]

Oh Claire your Betta Fish was simply wonderful!! I got super lucky and found this at Walmart. I just haven't plucked up the courage to color anything in it

[@dellarosa24601]

Beth Myers Same!

[@TriedThat]

Fabulous Fish! Using the French grey on the bits and bobs was brilliant

[@janicebrown6238]

Great review Claire! Absolutely adored your finished picture too. I'm glad I brought the US edition of this book I prefer this one over the UK edition due to the paper it's thicker. I promised myself next time I brought one of his books I would buy the US edition as his last two books in UK were thin. Thanks again I love your channel very informative. x

[@meloniebolton3918]

Good Morning Ms. Claire it is so Amazing to watch your coloring tutorial. I always wanted to purchase Kerbys book but was scared to even try it.

[@pamscolouringplace1031]

Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful colour along Claire, as always your talent amazes me

[@patwallace3689]

Love your color palette and the sun rays!👍

[@frenchpoppy6531]

great colouring & review, thank you Claire. Loved the background

[@kimlivengood5916]

WOW, great coloring. It turned out so cool. I love it. I do plan to buy this book the next time I order a coloring book. Kurby truely makes dreamy art. Especially when a colorist like you brings them to life. TYFS

[@melissalong7387]

Wonderful review and I love your finished picture, the rays turned out great! 💖💖💖

[@camillanilsson2460]

I want to thank you for your hard work and effort. I have downloaded your colourcharts on your blog. They are so good. They give me really good practicing of clouring and blending. Also to get to know the pencils and how they work. I´ve just started with the Faber Castell colour combinations. Thank you again.

[@charmainegill9223]

Excellent job on the fish, and the sun rays as well!!

[@jamesventress8268]

This was so much fun, just what I needed to de-stress. Would you do a video showing how you color a mandala , choose the colors etc.?

[@michellestevens2056]

I love the way it turned out Claire. Thank you for an enjoyable video.

[@wiselittleknitter]

I quite like this tutorial Claire. You did a great job. I'm going to try something like this on my own artwork. Great work. I quite like that. The book itself is beautiful. I have 2 of Kerby's books- Imagimorphia and Mythomorphia. I personally love using my Prismacolor Premier pencils and Crayola markers in the books. I can't afford very expensive products like the Polychromos and such, however I do like bright colours. I have found that you can blend some with the crayola markers as well. I like your videos Claire. Take care.

[@joannecrampton1415]

Claire I love this picture. 5 or 6 hrs reduced to 48min, wow amazing. I really love your work.

[@rainbowlizzie211]

@colourwithclaire OMG, thank you for your Colour creation & inspiration. I have just ordered the American version of Colormorphia cuz the yhicker paper, plus being Dyslexic, black on white blurs or like spiders on the page. So I prrfer Ivory pages. I have also ordered a set of 36 Prisma Colour Pencils, with 36 canvas Pencil wrap. Also, found an excellent USB charged Electric Derwent Easer and Retractable Eraser, perfect. As well as a USB pencil sharpener, as am fed up with using usual pencil shapener braking leads, which wastes the core/pigment in the center of pencils. Thank you for your amazing colouring. Love the pic you coloured in ColorMorphia perfect! I will send pics to you and post in my colour page in fb. I look forward to see you in your next colour with claire video xxx 💜✌🎨

[@marrit3122]

Gorgeous book! Especially those coloured pictures in the beginning are a big inspiration!

[@tammygeorge1638]

Absolutely stunning! Did a really good job. Coloring the other things the basic colors worked out perfect. I love it! ❤❤❤

[@fa3ryg1rl1]

I really appreciate these comparisons. Thank you!

[@torisnyder1342]

Loved it! Learned a lil more about color choice and how to shadow...thank you!

[@camcab147]

Claire, you did a superb job on that! Thank you for demonstrating your skill 😎

[@sandrawheeler2295]

Another 150 perfect techniques to try out. I sooooo appreciate your tutorials.

[@kindonwazzagod]

Great review as always Claire very professional well done hun ❤️

[@veronicadunn565]

I love your reviews of Kerby books.

[@carlaandcaseydaniel1013]

Hi new to see your work and love love love it me and my girl just up colouring and leanent a lot in this one video so can't what to watch more xxx

[@pattigraham9130]

Claire, it was awesome! I loved this color selection! I have Kerby's books but now I feel I need to get this one anyway! It would be fun to re-do some of the old favorites! PS You missed a few bubbles at the bottom from that one fish - wonder if you would do bubbles or leave them blended in like you did? I always love to add bubbles!!!

[@riddleteresa]

I love this. I will be doing this soon. Thank you , you did an awesome job.

[@kokuinomusume]

Love your color choices

[@annainlovewithcolours5408]

Thank you so much for sharing Claire!!! You are perfect!!!👍💖

[@essye1009]

Awesome coloring. Thank you.

[@paulaqueiroz1738]

Hello form Brazil!! Love your work. Would be very nice to have by week a tutorial to follow. ;-). Tks to share.

[@bobbig.793]

Excellent video! The book is terrific also. BG in TX..😍🖍💗😍💗🖍

[@debbiethedoodler1074]

This is the first Kerry book I have ordered, very excited.

[@candicesartcorner3944]

Thanks for all the details Claire! Definitely going for the UK edition to match the others I have. 😊 Also I like the blue ribbon on the side better than the rainbow coloured title. I’m curious though of something your didn’t mention: how is the binding in the US edition? Usually US colouring books are just glued which I hate and found really cheap and fragile. That’s what I usually go for UK editions (it’s the case for JB’s books) for example

[@jennbickerstaff]

I loved this video and it turned out gorgeous!

[@AngiesPantry58]

Hello New to your channel. I tried your tip on using the ruler to make the beams. For my 1st time I don't think I did that bad of a job. My Beta was a yellow green one. I did # ya in my post on Instagram. If you want to see it. Thank you for teaching an ole dog a new trick. LOL You make it look easier then what it was to do. I used Gel pens for my Beta The Pentel Sparkle Pops. He looks kinda neat. I think. Thanks again. Have a great day!

[@swampmonkey22]

Beautiful. Great work and I enjoyed the video.

[@ireneurban3599]

gorgeous coloring😍👏👏👏

[@madhatterscrafts1233]

I love the line work but my heart is thumping in my chest LOL how on earth do you tackle the intricate bits. Have you done a vid on how one would tackle it in the way that you do it.? Thank for the flick through

[@BenKrefta]

Hey Claire. Great video and channel! I'm an illustrator looking to work on my next colouring book and I have some questions I'd love to get your thoughts on- I'll shoot over to your site and ask them there rather than clog up your comments feed :)

[@Victoria_H]

Wow I loved how it turned out. This is the first video that I seen of yours but I have now subscribed. Just one question, how would you say the paper thickness of the UK version of this book compares to the UK version of Mythomorphia (if you have it of course)? Thank you.

[@ColourwithClaire]

Yes it's the same x

[@Victoria_H]

@@ColourwithClaire Thank you 😊

[@tavanurses]

Love your picture love his art and don’t know what to do with his doodles at times here in the US his first edition of animorphia paper was not as thick as the copy I bought my friend this week my copy is like 2 or so years old I find I like the thicker paper and more tooth to grab my pencils but I am still learning so until I got better at coloring it sat on a shelve lol

[@tavanurses]

Also I always give you a thumbs up 👍 you are great even though yea I would sit through a long color in real time / color along because I learn better that way I can totally see why u speed it up though.

[@debbien.3315]

Valerie, I have that same edition with the thin paper. I can seem to color OK in it but I am afraid to do the pages where there is spaces to draw in it because I am afraid it will show through. It's such a shame they used such thin paper.

[@tavanurses]

Debbie N. Hello I agree I have all the other books but this one paper too thin I think I am going to get the 20 posters and hope with this Daniel Smith watercolor ground I can use the book if not I will just use the posters although of course a lot of the pics I like were not the ones chosen !

[@Ambigirlcolouring]

how is the binding in both editions? Sometimes pages get loose when binding is glued.

[@dellarosa24601]

I just bought the Colormorphia coloring book (in the US).

[@merylehawkins464]

Just listened to you talking about the doodles, they sort of drive me mad sometimes so I remove them, I colour over them or black them out. Sometimes I make them all one colour and just pick out an outline with white. Depends a lot on the picture.

[@daniellemetier660]

Magnifique BRAVO

[@lunawolfcrossing]

I ordered the US edition instead of getting the UK one as the paper seemed much better and thicker

[@carlaferguson5471]

There are less pages in the US edition

[@margarethernandez7205]

Love this! What kind of sharpener are you using in this video?

[@anabrito1693]

It’s my first Kerry book! 😀

[@aprilshowercolouring164]

Absolutely gutted that this is another amazing book that isnt single sided pictures :( great review and love the Beta

[@pamcarr4963]

absolutely stunning, loved every minute, and the grey's were the perfect colour choice

[@catlady256]

WOW this is Stunning 🤩

[@danettetrostle7173]

OMG Claire!!! Wonderfully Beautiful...😎

[@bluemoonlight680]

Absolutely beautiful 😍

[@ColourwithClaire]

Thank you! 😊

[@sharonwilson5489]

Love it you are an artist

[@merylehawkins464]

Your sun rays are gorgeous, I wonder if they get a bit wider at the bottom and a bit softer? They do look stunning and your fish is lovely

[@ColourwithClaire]

Yes I think you're right x

[@TriedThat]

Would love to win a copy of Masja's Mandalas "Spring". Thanks!

[@62presentosa]

Really love this book!

[@md6dodge]

Can you list ALL his books?

[@ColourwithClaire]

Animorphia, Imagimorphia, Mythomorphia, Fantamorphia, Geomorphia.

[@davidnikkicortes7462]

FANTASTIC ART 🐶

[@elainewines1134]

Great review

[@suzeh9535]

That looks amazing!!!!! X

[@misty0708]

Hello, it is beautiful.

[@ColourwithClaire]

Thank you so much!

[@brandonow82]

These morphia books being double sided prints is the only downfall

[@Marie-zx2cq]

Fantastic!!

[@nanwilder2853]

As soon as you added a new element into an already hyper-detailed background, you LOST the fish as the FOCAL point it should be... Using colors of the same intensity also helped to cancel out the fish. No idea why you made those choices, but they weren’t fun to watch!

[@ColourwithClaire]

I'm sorry you feel that way, I'm very happy with how it turned out.
