Cute coloring pages for a non-traditional princess. Lots of fun scenes to look at and enjoy coloring.

I was excited to start colouring in The Official Cursed Princess Club Colouring Book as I'm a major fan of the WEBTOON series Cursed Princess Club. With 46 unique pictures of Gwendolyn and her other princesses, each page in this book is a visual feast for fans, showcasing full-color artwork with line drawings in black and white. It's ideal for all of your favourite colouring supplies, including coloured pencils and markers, thanks to the superior paper quality. This colouring book is a fun and imaginative way to enjoy the universe of Cursed Princess Club, whether you want to recreate famous scenes from the show or just add your own unique touch.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. This is not a lets color something funny coloring book. You have to know the characters. So when I realized it, I turned and found the actual books first. Then I enjoyed this one, particularly the pages with the musical notes, they came out perfectly. Thanks to make me recognized these lovely characters

In a Nutshell: A good option for CPC fans who also like to colour.

While we all must have used colouring books in our childhood, the last few years have seen a boom in colouring books for adults. These are supposed to relieve stress, help with anxiety, and improve focus. But I don’t see myself using colouring books. In fact, I have not touched a colouring book since my childhood (unless you count the ones I “touched” when I handed them over to my kiddos.)

As my friends can guess, I got this mainly for the CPC characters. I have no idea how to review a colouring book! 😆
Here are just some ramblings that are hopefully helpful:

🦞 This book has 46 full-page illustrations. The coloured version is on the left and the B&W sketch outline is on the right.

🦙 The graphics cover almost all the main characters of the CPC series. The only key characters who aren’t present here are King Leland and his wife Isolde.

🐯 The artwork is stunning, as expected. Even comparing the images on the left and the right shows how much difference a talented artist can make with the right colouring technique.

🕷️ You will enjoy the graphics even better if you know the CPC series as there are many hidden elements that only we fans will be able to decipher. There are also some new scenes herein.

🐈 The images are fairly intricate on most pages, with the finer detailing possibly requiring greater finesse and focus to colour well.

🦢 Some of the chosen graphics are challenging, as they involve darker tints or lustrous highlights. I am not sure how easy these would be to colour accurately on paper. Digital art is very different from hand colouring, so these might be the trickiest to match to the original.

ִִֶֶָָ🐰 Then again, it is a colouring book. There are no rules about how you should colour in your own book. Go wild with your imagination!

On the whole, I am sure this book would be a great addition to the libraries of CPC fans who want a look at their favourite characters and try their hand at colouring as well. If you aren’t already a fan, I hope this colouring book motivates you to give the series a go. It is available on the Webtoon app, and is also being adapted into a graphic novel series, of which three books are already out.

4 stars.

My thanks to Quarto Publishing Group for providing the DRC of “The Official Cursed Princess Club Coloring Book” via NetGalley. This review is voluntary and contains my honest opinion about the book.

(CPC fans: Easter egg for you. Do you recognise the significance of each animal emoji in this review?)

The book is filled with many beautiful scenes and for every drawing you have the original version, so you can see how it looks like and copy it, or you can change it however you want

This book is definitely one for Cursed Princess Club fans. The graphics and tales behind some of them are more than clear to those who have already dived into the novels. But that doesn't mean that these are all pulled right out of the novels, either. While the scenes and backstories will pop-up in fans' minds, there are original settings which play on the personalities of the characters. It's a fun way to sink in and enjoy the personalities...a great fandom experience.

There are 46 images in total. A fully colored version is presented on the left side of each two-page spread, and then, the same image is shown on the left side but with just the lines. The images allow for simple coloring or for the fantasy to flow freely.

It's an enjoyable book, and the only drawback is that non-knowers will feel a bit disconnected. But for fans, it's quite cute. I received a DRC and enjoyed the binding to the series.

This is absolutely amazing! I love this series and am so excited that they are coming out with coloring pages of all the characters!

Laverne is a personal favorite, so I can't wait to get a hand on one of these and start coloring in all the pastel glory!

A perfect companion book to the Cursed Princess Club graphic novel series. Colour illustrations paired with colouring sheets make this both an art book and colouring book. Perfect for fans of the series.

I really loved this coloring book. I especially enjoyed the fact that you have the finished examples to the left of the blanks. My only complaint is with the format in which this is downloaded. Unless you're going to print it physically, there isn't much you can do with it. I wish I could have downloaded this as a regular PDF so I could open it anywhere other than Adobe Digital Editions. That app is a nightmare.

Thank you, NetGalley, for this ARC.

This is a cute and fun coloring book with really pretty art. The opposite page is in color meaning that you can copy the original or make it your own. For me personally, this would be an issue due to the pens I use causing bleedthrough, but if you used pencils or crayons I could see hat being a fun edition for younger budding artists.

This is such a cute fun coloring book! I love how the opposite page is in color so you can totally copy the original or make it your own. Thank you for including coloring pages of Laverne. I don’t think it would have been complete without them! I love this coloring book so much! Thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for an early copy for an honest review!

Thank you to the Publisher, Author & Netgalley for giving me an opportunity to review this colouring book. The illustrations are very pretty and its a very neat concept. I was unfamiliar with the "Cursed Princess Club", storyline. But I can see fans of the series would really enjoy this colouring book. I like how there's the original suggested prints and then a page following up giving the readers an opportunity to colour however they want/follow the page.

Love the character profiles for this coloring book and the art is just amazing! I really love how webtoons does the colored pages that show you what it looks like and then gives you the coloring page. I really wanna read the story that goes with this coloring book. It's super cute looking.

A cool coloring book for fans of The Cursed Princess Club! It includes the colorized versions beside the lines-only coloring pages. It's a neat "behind the scenes" look at the line art of the graphic novel before the colorist phase. Some of the shapes, though, are grayscale shaded instead of pure line art, but maybe this will be corrected before publication.

Engaging coloring book featuring scenes from the series "Cursed Princess Club". It starts with a description and synopsis of the series so that even people not familiar can connect with the content. There are several pages to color. Each spread includes a full color version of the picture and the blank version for the child to either copy of create their own masterpiece. Eye-catching and fun coloring book.
