Alien Worlds by Kerby Rosanes

Description: This book is wonderful collection of Alien plant and animal forms. there is an Intrepid Astronaut that appears amongst them occasionally with his ship.

The book is extremely detailed. While printed on a heavier stock markers would almost be out of the question. This book is perfect for pencils and gel pens. Don't expect to be able to finish a page in an hour or two.

it includes a table of contents with a short description of the page. In the back there is an astronauts log with observations and descriptions of the illustrations from the book written from the perspective of the astronaut traveling through them. not going to lie I read this part in my best William Shatner Captain Kirk voice.

Some unfortunate details. The illustrations go into the binding of the book in that mad way that makes you wonder..do you even color bro? They are also double sided so if you do get brave enough to attempt markers bleed through will ruin half the book.

Upside this is a far walk away from the cute and fluffy books that so many of us enjoy. If you want to challenge yourself with an intricate illustration that can literally take days Kerby Rosanes is your guy.

I love this book and would definitely purchase more by this artist.

Finally finished months after starting it. it's good to be back.

This week's challenge: Sweet Treats! Let's be honest how many of us are tempted by the chocolate bunnies or yummy jelly beans in that basket. (even if it's not your's), or the delectable cupcakes and pastries in the bakery windows. How many of us turn into cookie monster when no one is looking?

Show us the sweet treats that tempt you!

Hoppy Easter Every Bunny!

As inspired by u/JustYourAvgHumanoid I planned out a few pages for our monthly theme and buddy colors

Earth Day is an annual global event observed on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First held in 1970, it is now the world's largest secular observance, mobilizing over one billion people in more than 193 countries.

It''s a venture that is near and dear to my heart, one people one planet. i'm happiest when i'm outside having a chat with Mother Earth.

To that end let's have a month of Earth Appreciation.

Show us your images of favorite outdoor settings or your eco messages of green. Visually share where and what we're working to save and how.

ok i'm off to color and hug a tree! As always feel free to explore previous monthly themes here:

BUDDY COLOR!! April

Welcome to our monthly buddy color collaborations!

***What is a "Buddy Color"?***

A buddy color is a collaboration where you and other people color the same page or theme together, as a project.

The purpose of this monthly post is to help you connect with others who are looking for a buddy coloring collaboration.

You can use the comments section here to join or create a collaboration!

***How to find a buddy:***

- Search the comments for someone who has suggested book(s)/page(s)/theme(s) you are interested in, and respond.

- Post a comment suggesting the book(s)/page(s)/theme(s) you would like to color with others.

Once you've found your collaborators, you can organize among yourselves when/how you want to share your pages with each other and the sub. If you are not sure, don’t be afraid to ask! Everyone here is friendly and this is a no-judgement zone.

Many organizers will post a gallery at the end of the month, to make it easy to flip through the pages and see back-to-back, what the group came up with.

Feel free to use the comments section here, connect via DM on Reddit, or use the sister [Discord](https://www.reddit.com/r/ColoringCozy/s/As4vym3JBt) to work out the details of sharing your pages.

***Can we post our completed pages?***

We definitely want to see your pages! Don’t forget to use the ***"Buddy Color" flair***! and if posting a gallery, tag your buddies by username in the comments! (Tags only work in comments, for some reason).

***Is there a deadline?***

Some collaborations have a monthly deadline, and others are ongoing; these are some of the details the organizer and group can decide among themselves.

***What if I don't own the book/page?***

To participate in a buddy colour, you need to own the page you are colouring. ***Do not make copies of a page and distribute it.*** This violates copyright laws and harms creators. If you do not own the page, please purchase it yourself.

Several buddy color groups use pages made freely available by the artist, that everyone can access.

***I am an artist. Can I share books/pages I have drawn?***

For buddy colors, you can provide a link to free downloadable page(s) you have created. However, please do not use the sub just as a sales platform. See our rule about self-promotion, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ColoringCozy/about/rules

***Alternative Buddy Ideas***

Don’t want to choose a specific page or just want some variety? Here are some other ways you can buddy color collaboratively:

- Choose or create a color palette that everyone will use, on their different pages

- Create a buddy color collaboration to raise awareness about a cause; here is one list of color options: https://theawarenesscompany.com/pages/your-guide-to-awareness-ribbon-color-meanings

- Choose a theme (i.e. “Winter,”“Cats,” “Mushrooms,” “Frogtober,” “Stained glass,” “Nighttime,” etc.)

- Feel free to browse our past Weekly Challenges and Monthly Themes in our wiki for more ideas!
