Puppy Chasing And Playing With A Ball Coloring Page

The puppy is at full stretch with both front legs reaching forward, its tail up and its mouth open, chasing a paneled ball that sits on the grass just ahead of it. One ear has flipped forward over the eye and the other has blown back, and that single detail is what makes the whole drawing read as movement instead of as a dog standing still. The line work is generous and open, with only a scatter of short grass ticks around the base, so a four year old can take this on with crayons and not run out of patience halfway. The ball is the one place with any structure. It is drawn with five panel lines, and coloring alternate panels is the easiest way to make a flat circle look round. Keep the puppy pale and the ball bright. That front down, back up shape you can see here is close to a play bow, which is how a dog tells another dog, or a person, that whatever happens next is a game and not a fight.
