Soccer Ball Inside A Star Border Coloring Page

One ball sits at the center of this page and twenty stars circle it like a crown. The ball is drawn big and bold with its panels clearly separated, and every star is a closed shape with nothing inside it. The structure gives the page a natural order of work. Do the ball first, then take the stars in one lap around the circle. Stars are a chance to try a gradient without anything technical being involved. Start light at the top of the ring and press a little harder as the circle comes round, and the border gains depth that a single flat tone never gets. Or alternate two colors star by star, which is quicker and looks sharp. The ball follows the rule that runs through this whole hub: the five sided panels take the color, the six sided ones stay white, and the ball stays round. Nothing on this sheet is small or fussy, so a young child can finish it alone. It also makes a good cover page for a folder of finished soccer sheets.
