Fierce Ninja Warrior Close-Up Portrait Coloring Page

This is a face at close range and very little else. The head fills most of the sheet, wrapped so that only a band across the eyes is uncovered, and those eyes are narrowed into a hard stare. Above them a headband carries a scrolling pattern and a raised crest at the center. Long strands of hair and cloth sweep down both sides, drawn as tapering black strokes, and a wrapped sword hilt pushes in from the lower right corner. Behind everything sits a faint bed of curling ornament. Ink coverage here is the highest in the collection, which changes how you approach it. Rather than filling large areas, you are tinting the narrow white gaps between strokes, so a sharp pencil beats a marker every time. The headband pattern is the most rewarding part and can take three or four colors on its own without looking busy. Skin around the eyes needs only the lightest touch. Expect a dramatic, high contrast result rather than a soft one. Younger children usually find this sheet frustrating, so save it for someone who enjoys detailed work.
