Player Heading the Ball Coloring Page

A player has jumped and twisted to meet the ball on his forehead, and the drawing catches him from behind and slightly to the side, so his face is hidden by the turn of his head. That angle is unusual for a kids sheet and it makes this one feel more like a real photograph than a cartoon. Both arms are thrown out wide for balance and both feet have left the ground, with his knees bent and his shoes drawn from underneath. The ball sits above and in front of his head with its panels clearly outlined. His hair is drawn in loose sweeping sections across the crown. The kit is simple: a short sleeved shirt with a plain hem, loose shorts, long socks and studded boots with the sole lines showing. Nothing else appears on the sheet, so the leap reads against pure white. A single strip color carried through the shirt, shorts and socks makes the figure hold together as one player rather than three separate garments.
