Dad Receiving A Homemade Fathers Day Card From A Child Coloring Page

Two figures face each other across the middle of this sheet, and the card they hold between them carries the whole message. The father takes the left side. His hair sweeps back in a few long strokes, his eyes are wide circles, and his beard is suggested by rows of tiny ticks along the jaw rather than any solid mass, which keeps his face open and easy to fill. He wears a loose collared shirt with two buttons, soft trousers, and slip on shoes with a defined sole. The child on the right is smaller and turned mostly away, so what shows is a fan of spiky hair, one round cheek and the edge of a smile. Both of that child's hands press flat against the card. The card is a plain rectangle carrying the words Happy Fathers Day in three lines of relaxed hand lettering, with a small heart tucked in underneath. Two thin sprigs sprout from a faint ground line at either edge of the paper. Apart from those, the background is empty, and the emptiness helps: the pair read as one quiet exchange with nothing behind them to pull your eye away.
