Knight Charging Forward coloring page
A moving knight rushing towards a plain open field. It can be easily accommodated across all ages and ability levels due to the use of clean lines, bold action and broad spaces.
The colouring page of Knight Charging Forward- Simple Open Field records the excited movement of a warrior in a rush to start an activity. The body of the knight bends forward with an expression of determination where the weapon is in hand and his armour plates are in a constant motion as swift as the movement of the man. This cap flowing or trailing cloth adds additional vigour to the scene and will bring a feeling of the movement that is thrilling to both young and adult artists. The armour has large areas where one can shade and use highlights as well as metals, and has a dramatic spot where a person is posed. He is in the back of a rather dull open field, devoid of distractions, having broad shapes of the ground and a blank sky that do not hinder creative colouring decisions. This is a very bare background that allows artists to work on the dynamic subject, yet there is a freedom to add gradients, effects, or more landscape to it. Well drawn linework, and a heroic mood make this page ideal to tell a storey, an adventure, or to calmingly colour.
🎨 How to Color
Begin the armor by the layer of light gray, silver, or gray metallic. Enhance the appearance by making the edges in background, behind of plates, parts behind moving body parts darker to create the effects of speed and depth. Add reflections with the help of a white pencil. In the case of the weapon, it is better to use bright metallic colours or gold accents to make it distinct. You can add bold colours like red, blue, green or black to the cape, cloth or crest to make the dramatic movement. In the case of the open field, use greens or brows or gold colour basing on the season you want to represent. The sky may be light blue, orange sunset or a contrasting light. The large expanses such as sky and ground are best done with markers whereas the details in the armour are best done with coloured pencils. Use a high contrast to emphasise the fierce forward rush of the knight, mix and overlay, and blend.
