Color Squared: Color, Dot, Dash, or Stamp Your Way to Awesome Pixel Art

About the Author Lee Meredith calls herself a maker of things, doer of stuff; with a background in art and photography, a career in knitting pattern design, and a later-in-life education in graphic design, she has undertaken countless projects in the worlds of craft, art, and design. She brings her love of color, puzzles, and experimentation into her creative work, known for designing knitwear with unusual construction and often with game-like twists on the process of knitting itself, and thinking outside the norm in all pursuits.

Paint-by-number meets the traditional coloring book in this brand new format that showcases pixelated images of cool and quirky nostalgia objects. Doodlers, artists, and puzzlers alike will enjoy this new take on coloring. To fill them in, users have options to vary the colors, just vary the shading, or even use different shapes or lines. Color Squared can relieve stress or challenge the mind, depending on the approach the reader chooses--but either way, it will keep the head and hands busy, and make for a fun trip down memory lane.. With a focus on old favorites, pictures of things like cassette tapes, a rotary phone, and roller skates have been pixelated and rendered as numbered grids

R. Neff said Color by numbers meets pixel art. The premise of this book is simple: take six colors from light to dark and color the numbers to reveal the image. There are a variety of techniques outlined in the instructions, but my favorite is to color the squares in with solid colors. Instead of taking hours and hours to finish a single page, the numbers make it easy to finish a page in Color by numbers meets pixel art The premise of this book is simple: take six colors from light to dark and color the numbers to reveal the image.

I do not have an artistic bone in. This book is amazing. I do not have an artistic bone in my body. But, now I am an artist. I also have a hobby, a stress reliever, and an esteem booster. It's fun and easy and anyone can do this. I received this as a gift and then bought copies to give as gifts. It's a winner!. Fun for grown ups and kids! Caitlin D. This book is so fun--it's like a cross between a puzzle book and a coloring book, and there are so many different ways to color the pages (makes me want to go to the art store and buy lots of pens). I recommend it!When I got the book, I figured I'd have it all to myself, but my 5- and 7-year-old sons were excited to try it too. They used the different-colored marker
