What Kingdom Coloring Pages Do
Recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics ties coloring in a structured way to better fine motor coordination in children ages 2 through 7. Kingdom is written for older readers, but the same motor skills get used, and the full-body pages are the easiest to color.
Structured coloring sessions produced a measurable drop in anxiety, as documented by the Art Therapy Journal in 2005. Armor plates, hair strands, and robe patterns shape a patient, one-section-at-a-time style of coloring.
Kingdom is a manga by Yasuhisa Hara that began serialization in Weekly Young Jump in January 2006, retells China’s Warring States period through the war orphan Ri Shin and the young king Ei Sei, and received an anime adaptation by Pierrot in 2012.
How to Color Kingdom Pages Well
- Armor: gray, bronze, and dark red shades suit the plates, with a lighter shade on the edges for shine.
- Robes: deep blues, purples, and reds work well, and the repeating patterns can use a second shade.
- Horses: browns and blacks with a lighter shade on the mane and legs.
- Crowded battle pages: dense line work is easier with a fine-tip marker or a sharp pencil.
- Backgrounds: dusty tans and warm grays help the characters stand out in battle scenes.
