Superhero In A Secret Underground Lair Coloring Page

A young hero stands with his hands on his hips in the mouth of a rock chamber that has been fitted out as a base. Behind and around him are a desk, a screen on a stand, a bank of equipment with rows of controls, a set of drawers, a crate and open shelving. The cave walls are drawn as plain outlined rock, no shading, so the whole thing stays open and light.

The furniture is where the interest is. All those panels, dials and shelf edges are small closed shapes, which suits a child who likes to work slowly through a page rather than fill it in three strokes.

Keeping the rock walls pale and the equipment darker is what will make the cave feel like a cave rather than a room with a lumpy wall.

The secret base is one of the oldest ideas in adventure stories, older than superheroes by a long way. Caves work in fiction because they are private, defensible and already there, which is exactly why real people have used them for shelter for tens of thousands of years.
