Knight Ready for Battle coloring page
A resolute knight about to fight with a bare mountain picture behind him. This colouring page is suitable to everyone since there is bold colour, white space and detailed armour in them.
The Knight Ready for Battle-Minimal Mountain Shapes colouring page represents the final moment of an intense and dramatic suspension, a moment before a warrior goes to war. The knight is erect, holding his weapon with a concentration and will, his armour is painted with sharp, smooth and angular linework that emphasises each plate, strapping and notch. His posturing is dignified and confident in nature and the result is a dramatic central figure that will gracefully be coloured by both young and old artists. In the background, the mountains are rendered using broad, uncluttered figures with their generally geometric shapes that make up an easy background without dominating the protagonist. The low mountain figures provide lots of empty space to be used in the gradients, sky effect or light shading and yet makes the page user-friendly to the beginner. Clean composition combined with an impressive pose makes this colouring page suitable in telling storeys, activity based on the Middle Ages or a relaxing colouring. The illustration with its combination of the heroic vitality and plain landscape is creativity-inviting and not difficult and exhausting to colour.
🎨 How to Color
Begin with the armour of the knight in the shade of silver, grey or steel-blue. Add dark coloured colours under armour plates, along joints and around engraved regions so that it would look realistic like metals. With a white pencil, produce an outline over the products that have been raised to achieve additional shine. Metallic silver or dark steel may be added to the weapon, with optional touches of either gold or bronze to the hilt. Bold colours should be added to the knights cape, cloth pieces or crest to make the figure stand out of the plain mountains red, blue, green or gold. In the case of the mountains, soft earth colours, greys or blues can be used, and to keep the minimal type, one should mix them lightly. The sky may take the form of blue gradient, or pastel and sunrise orange. Detailed shading of armour is best with coloured pencils and large areas of the sky and mountains should have markers or soft crayons. Mingle, make use of striking contrast and remember that the accent is to be on the strong fighting pose of the knight.
