Kid Shooting at a Mini Hoop Coloring Page

A boy stretches up on his toes with both arms raised, pushing the ball toward a small hoop mounted on a freestanding pole. The hoop is the adjustable kind you set up in a garden, with a backboard, a rim and net, a single upright post and a wide round base to weight it down. Everything is scaled to the child rather than to an adult, which is why this sheet reads so well for younger children: the basket is only a little taller than he is, so the shot looks achievable. His kit is a short sleeved shirt and shorts, with soft shoes and short socks, and his hair falls forward as he leans back to look up. The ball sits just above his fingertips with its seams drawn in. There is no floor, no wall and no line of any kind behind them, so the two shapes stand clear against white. Contrasting the backboard against the ball is the main color decision to make.
