What's In This Picture
As you look at this page, you will find a young knight in the center of the frame, dressed in a full suit of detailed armor. He wears a classic helmet and holds his sharp sword up toward the sky, while his large shield is held firmly in his other hand. The knight is standing on a gentle grassy slope that leads your eye back toward a grand castle with tall towers and stone walls. In the background, you can see more rolling hills that stretch out toward the horizon. Above the castle, several soft clouds drift through the air, adding a sense of height and space to the entire outdoor setting. Every part of his metal suit, from the shoulder plates to the boots, has clear lines that make it easy to color each piece individually.
Coloring Tips
To make the knight's armor look like real metal, try using different shades of gray or silver. You can use a lighter gray in the middle of the chest plate and darker grays near the edges to create a shiny, rounded effect. For the shield, choose a bold primary color like deep red or royal blue to make it stand out as a symbol of the knight's house. The castle looks wonderful in various shades of stone gray or even a warm tan color to suggest aged brick. Since the hills are covered in grass, you might use a mix of light and dark greens to show the texture of the ground. Don't forget the sky; a pale blue or even a sunset orange would make a dramatic backdrop for the white clouds.
Did You Know?
Real knights had to start training when they were only seven years old! They began as pages, learning how to behave at court and look after horses. By the time they were fourteen, they became squires and finally earned their knighthood around age twenty-one after proving their bravery and skill in competitions and on the battlefield.
Try This!
After finishing the colors, you could try drawing a family crest or a special symbol on the empty part of the shield. You might also want to write a short story about where this knight is going or what kind of treasures are hidden inside the stone castle behind him. You could even draw a friendly dragon flying in the distance among the clouds.
