Coach Holding A Clipboard Coloring Page

This coach stands with one hand on a hip and a clipboard held out in the other, mid sentence. The cap, the zip up jacket with its ribbed hem and cuffs, and the tracksuit trousers are the uniform of every youth coach on every pitch on a Saturday morning. The clipboard face is deliberately blank. A child can leave it empty, or draw a formation on it, which turns a coloring page into a tactics board and usually starts an argument about who plays up front. Color the jacket and the trousers in the same family and the coach looks like staff. Give them different colors and the coach looks like a parent who got volunteered, which is also true to life. The zip, the pocket openings and the ribbed waistband are fine lines that take a darker shade of whatever covers the jacket. Keep the cap the strongest color on the page so the eye goes to the face first. The figure is drawn with a big friendly head and simple hands, so it suits younger colorists as well as older ones.
