Contrast carries this drawing. The artist has laid heavy black into the folds of the hood and robe, so the figure reads almost as a silhouette with white channels running through it, and the sword crossing the body stays bright against all that darkness. He is crouched with one knee lifted, hood up, mask across the face, both hands on the weapon. Flowers ring the composition: a full chrysanthemum at the upper left, a sunflower opposite, lotus heads low down, with cloud scrolls curling beneath his foot. Less of this page needs coloring than you would expect, and that is the point. The black areas are already resolved, so your job is the white gaps, the blade, the flowers and the border. A restrained scheme suits it better than a loud one, since the drawing already carries strong visual weight. Metallic pencils on the blade look good if you have them. Anyone used to gentler coloring pages should know this one is bold and graphic rather than soft, closer to a tattoo flash sheet than a storybook illustration, and teenagers tend to prefer it for exactly that reason.
