This book was cute, but I felt that it lacked enough content. I do like that it had full color pages in addition to the coloring pages. I hope for an extended version in the future!

How fun is this! A coloring book featuring a slew of queer WEBTOON comics and not only does it give a side by side of the original art with the lineart only for YOU to color, but there's descriptors of each comic AND a page of QR codes to go check out titles that may be brand new to you but pique interest in the coloring book.

Pretty clever, honestly.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Walter Foster | Walter Foster Publishing for the eARC in exchange for review!

This was a really fun and diverse coloring book! I really liked that there was an example of each coloring page colored, probably from the comic where the scene came from! It was great for inspiration and had me trying out different styles and color palettes. I also felt like there was a good range in art styles, and there was really something for everyone here. Some of the pages were a bit plain, and some had a lot of white space that make it more challenging as a coloring page, but I can see some people enjoying that even if it's not my preferred style for coloring books! Overall, there's something for everyone here, and I can't wait to color more pages!

No sabia que existía un libro para colorear de las historias de webtoon , ya llevo tiempo siendo fan de los comics publicados en la aplicación, me parece una gran oportunidad para todos los creadores que deseen contar una historia , ademas de que su sección de historias originales es muy interesante y nunca decepcionan. Respecto al libro se nota que fue hecho con mucho amor para nosotros los fans tiene ilustraciones muy bonitas que he estado coloreando , me he divertido en el proceso un montón también esta padre que incluyan y una imagen coloreada por si deseas guiarte de esa misma en cuando a los colores y al sombreado , si te gustan algunas de las historias que participan o quieres colorear personajes bonitos adelante vale la pena totalmente !! Ademas conocí otras historias por este libro que me llamaron la atención para empezar a leerlas.

I wasn’t familiar with WEBTOON, but I like comics and graphic novels and I love to color, so I was delighted to receive an electronic review copy of this coloring book. It contains 45 line art pages to color, each with the full-color reference art on the facing page so you can see how the artist originally colored the image. The images are drawn from 15 different WEBTOON Originals series exploring different types of love among diverse characters. I liked some of the images more than others, but I appreciated the diversity and being introduced to the different webcomics, some of which I’d like to read. Conveniently, the last two pages feature QR codes that take you directly to each of the comics.

I recommend this collection to adults or older teens who enjoy coloring, independent comics and anime style art, and depictions of LGBTQIA+ love stories. Some of the coloring pages are fairly complex and will be challenging if you don’t already have some experience with adult coloring books.

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group and Walter Foster Publishing for providing me with an eARC through NetGalley. I volunteered to provide an honest review.

I didn't know the particular webtoons featured in this, but I loved the art style and the coloured pages offered as a reference. I loved having that next to the pages to colour in, since you can opt to try to copy it, or try to do something completely different. Sometimes it can be daunting to have a detailed picture to colour, so it's nice to have that support to give you some ideas.
I also liked that the colouring pages aren't as detailed as the originals (they only have the line art work, and details that are only added in colour in the original, won't appear), so that you have even more freedom in your own design.

Thanks to Netgalley for an advanced ARC. This was something cute and fun to do! I loved the WEBTOONs and it’s so much fun to cookie on my favorite scenes.

The Official WEBTOON Pride Coloring Book Collection is perfect for all ages! The artwork style from each webcomic author is front and center in each of the coloring pages. The combination of full-page colored artwork from the artists paired with the matching black & white coloring pages makes you feel like you're watching the comic unfold and are capturing those little moments in time with your own art.

As you go through the coloring book collection, a synopsis of each WEBTOON title is provided along with original artwork created by the authors that correspond to the coloring sheets provided. In this way you can discover new stories to read as well as experience the webcomics art first hand.

If you're unfamiliar with the stories featured in the collection, the full-page colored renditions give you a starting point on how to potentially color your own works of art. However, you don't feel as if you have to follow the art exactly. Instead, the setup still makes you feel like you can completely go off-script in terms of colors and shading styles.

At the end of the book there are QR codes linking you to each individual webcomic featured in the collection, so it's easy to start reading any that spark your interest. Since WEBTOON is a free platform available on mobile and desktop devices, it's the perfect way to start reading a new series and supporting up-and-coming artists!

Thank you to NetGalley and Walter Foster Publishing for providing me with an advanced copy to review. I look forward to seeing this coloring book in its printed form. I will be recommending this title for our library's collection!

While this isn't a typical review (I didn't print these off and color them), as a webcomic aficionado, I was excited to see the exclusive art and new works from some artists I have been following for years. Especially with work from so many different artists, there is a style and story for everyone in this coloring book. I appreciated the short summary of the source comics at the beginning of each section - it let me know which new comics would be up my alley and gave me a refresher for ones I read a while ago. There are a few comics featured in this book that I still need to read, but the character designs alone are enough to pique intrigue. My favorite sets were Daybreak and The Doctors Are Out. I enjoyed the variation in line weight and overall lighter line weight. I also thought including QR codes at the end was brilliant! Overall, this coloring book is adorable, wholesome, and has definitely given me some new reading recommendations.

I absolutely love this colour book. It was fun it was stunning. I love the character and we interact with each other but this also entice me to read the manga so I will actually be starting the manga because I haven’t read it before and I thought this was a really cool colouring book, and it shows a lot of personalities with a different characters.

I'm just not wild about having full-color facing pages. I like a little more imagination when I'm coloring. I might however check out a few of the books featured here.

This book contains art from popular Webtoons as well as a coloring page of the same art so that you can color the page as well. For me the coloring pages are a little too simple for my taste but if you love manga and love to color then I'm sure you'll enjoy the book.

This was my first experience with Webtoon and I don’t think it will be my last. What a unique style of colouring book, it really stands out from a sometimes saturated market.

I loved how one side of the page showed the original artwork and the other was blank to let your creative side flourish. On some of the pages you been got story.

Like many others, I came to know about Webtoons from the comic Lore Olympus. But I have been wanting to read more comics on the app. There are so many that I feel a little intimidated. So when I saw this coloring book, I thought it would be a great way to get a sense of some of the series.

This was a fun coloring book because it not only has beautiful coloring pages, it also has full color illustrations from the comic next to each. It also give a small summary of each comic represented. From this book, I found several series that I’m looking forward to trying!

If you love coloring and enjoy comic style art, or you are just looking for a new series to binge, check this one out!

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC. I have not read the webtoon and I started before starting this coloring book. Loved the art, the guide pages and the coloring ones. I would love a few quote colorings as well.. thanks

I love this colouring book style! It gives synopsises for each WEBTOON and each colouring picture is alongside the original image so gives a perfect sneak peak at the art styles for each comic.

This wonderful colouring book is an absolute joy. Featuring the best characters from Webtoon favourites, this book offers the opportunity to colour in perfect scenes alongside the full colour images. Thoughtful, meditative, inclusive romantic and fantasy fun. A great selection including Mage & Demon Queen, Boyfriends and more. I adore the narratives featured with each scene. A great idea for a colouring book.
