Chibi Samurai with Oversized Helmet coloring page
Cute chibi samurai with the big haunting helmet -what a fun color-in combining cartoon style, tradition, and warrior spirit.
This chibi samurai coloring page represents the best intersection of tradition and cute with the small warrior wearing a helmet that almost covers his entire body. The cartoonish proportions and large eyes, combined with the cutesy posture make the design light and fun, enjoyable among kids and adults alike. The details of the samurai armor provide the texture, historical-flavored flair, and the huge helmet provides some humor and imagination to the scene. The large, clear lines make this page simple to color yet allows enough space to shade and detail. The coloring book is a wonderful way to pass the time to those who like chibi-style art and Japanese imagery or just to use it as a soothing form of art therapy.
How to Colour: Start with the anime-sized helmet, apply the traditional colors of samurai to it such as the dark red, gold, black, or make it more whimsical with pastel or rainbow hues to highlight the style of chibi. The armor may be darkened in metallic silvers, blacks or even blues and small accents be in gold or white. Eyes of the chibi must be very bright and expressive: blue, green or brown with some sparkles. To contrast the background, plain but soft tones such as pale blue skies, pale pink cherry trees or muted grays on temple rocks will help bring out the samurai in the picture. Blending elements on the armor look fine with colored pencils, and the helmet receives bright, decisive color with markers. A gold highlight to the helmet using metallic or gel pens will have the page glowing with personality.
