Ninja Mid Air Flying Kick Coloring Page

This Ninja Mid Air Flying Kick Coloring Page throws the figure across the top half of the sheet with the leading leg fully extended to the left, the foot wound in cloth. A cape streams back to the right and the hood trails three pointed tails. Far underneath, clouds break up a valley of snow topped mountains with a small village of curved roofs at its floor. A free printable set of ninja kick coloring pages for ages 5 to 11.

How this coloring page was created

For this page we entered the concept: "A ninja leaping high with one leg extended in a flying kick, the ground far below" on Colorin AI and generated a print ready coloring page in seconds.

"The ground far below" is the four words that made this a landscape page. Without them the generator draws the kick against blank paper and the height has to be taken on trust. Naming the distance forced a horizon into the drawing, and once there was a horizon it filled it: mountains, a village, a river and clouds at the level of the ninja rather than above him. The clouds sitting below the figure are what actually sell the altitude.

Why this ninja kick coloring page is special

Two drawings share this sheet and they barely touch. The top is a single figure in hard black outline; the bottom is a wide landscape in thin lines. They are drawn at different weights on purpose, and the gap between them is the height.

For anyone printing a set, this is the page that gives two sessions out of one sheet. A younger child can finish the ninja and leave the valley white, and it still looks deliberate. An older one can spend the afternoon on the village roofs alone.

Counting the drawing: the extended leg carries about seven cloth wrap bands from the knee to the toe, and the folded leg carries five more. The hood ends in three pointed tails and the cape behind opens into two wide folds. The face shows two narrowed eyes over a mask edge, with one raised fist to the right. Below the figure sit five clouds, two at the left and three at the right, each drawn as a flat base with three or four bumps. The mountain range has six peaks, three of them cut by a snow line. The village at the bottom holds about seven small buildings with curved roofs, one of them a two tiered tower, and four rounded shrubs flank a path that curves off to the left.

Coloring Ideas and Techniques

Work the valley in pale colors and the ninja in strong ones. Distance washes color out, so a light blue on the mountains and a soft green on the ground will push them back and lift the figure off the page without any shading at all.

Leave the clouds white and color the sky around them, or leave the whole sky white. Coloring the clouds themselves is the one thing that will flatten the drop, because they stop reading as something the ninja is above.

The village roofs are the best small work on the sheet. Giving each of the seven buildings a different roof color, and keeping all their walls the same, makes the settlement look real in a way that one flat brown never will.
