Hockey Player in Mid-Spin coloring page
Hockey player with spinning and clean lines and giant-size coloring areas. One fun and active colouring page is ideal when it comes to kids and hockey fans.
In this coloring page entitled the Hockey Player in Mid-Spin, the author has immortalized a moment when the hockey is in the main action of the sport at a speed. The picture depicts a player turning sharply in the ice with his accurate stick angled to either get out of the path of an opponent, protect the ball, or create an advantageous way out. There is clean bold linework to bring out the flowing movement of the spin - bent knees, [shifting balance], and the sweep of the stick- even then, with large areas in which young artists can work with great ease. The very simple backgrounds allow the maximum focus to be provided to the sport movement of the athlete, also allowing children the opportunity to add ice cracks, motion lines, lights in the arena, or other players in the distance. The page is a combination of action, speed and fluidity and I enjoy it as the sport fans and children who like active scenes enjoy the page. It suits well in a classroom, a hockey programme and silent creative moments at home and helps to build imagination, develop motor skills, and enjoy watching how a hockey player is agile and deft in play.
How to ColorĀ
For colouring this mid-spin picture, you had better begin with a passage of vivid colours in the jersey, which may be reds, blues, greens, yellows, or black, in order that the movement of spinning should be conspicuous. Draw shade on the legs, arms and the torso to indicate the twist and movement. Wear dark skates and dark gloves and the stick blade should be metallic greys. The puck is in either old-fashioned black or a splendid bright color. With the ice, very light blues or pale greys are to be used to keep the attention on the movement, and to create soft shadows under skates in order to demonstrate the direction and the balance. To maximise spin effect you can have motion lines behind the player that are curves. You can also add the faint rink lines or crowd shapes on the background in case you want further detail. Complete with the main shapes identified with a sharpened colored pencil so that the action seems clean and crisp and dynamic.
