On the Independence Day, residents in my village always held free coloring and drawing competition. This has become a habit that has lasted a long time. The competition was attended by 139 children for coloring competition, for drawing competition 113 children are the participants. The purpose of this activity is to cultivate creativity of students and to hone their drawing skills. Hopefully with this coloring competition the coaching in early childhood can shape the character to be a noble human, dynamic, active, creative and productive.

The coloring competition participants get a prize from the sponsors such a coloring books and stationery. This was deliberately done to increase the spirit of the children in this area. The children follow these activities with enthusiasm.

Scary Piglet Halloween Coloring Pages

Halloween coloring pages

Just wanna make some fun with Halloween coloring pages. But, do you know what this weird day is?

For me, Halloween is probably one of the celebrations (festival) which is difficult to interpret. As of October 31 people dressed in weird and creepy, and certainly get party; the children with a lantern and knocking on doors asking for treats of candy (trick-or-treating); there are striking cultural contradictions of modern society. My answer is because the context of celebrating the environment is in Western.

A little history from this Halloween coloring pages: It is now spread even to countries such as the non-western, is a post-harvest tradition that originated from Ireland. Of course still in the days of paganism; celebration of ancient Celtic culture that originally named "Samhain". This celebration marks the end of the harvest season which is also common in many cultures celebrated other nations.

The origins of Halloween or Samhain are celebrated with the slaughter of cattle to be stored in the winter, following storage of other crops. The point of entry of the winter is considered the border between the world of the living and the dead. Those who have died are to endanger the public through a variety of diseases, in fact, failed harvests. As form offerings is throwing the bones of slaughtered animals. To deceive the ghosts and demons are roaming, the people were wearing various masks and costumes / clothing scary.

Anyway, I don’t really care about this history. For me, it just a fun time to make our kids do a better activity. OK, its time to download this free Halloween coloring pages. :)

Free Pumpkin Coloring Pages

pumpkin coloring pages

Halloween party is identical with the carved pumpkin decorations such as the face and filled with lamps or candles in it, like the above pumpkin coloring pages. Pumpkin is known as the Jack o'Lantern. In the United States, Jack o'Lantern often placed at the entrance to the house after dark. So did you know why Halloween is synonymous with Jack o'Lantern?

It is said, a thief and swindler named Jack chased by the villagers for stealing their belongings. In the flight, he met with the devil that will take his life. Faced with this, he quickly offered the devil to deceive the villagers and make a commotion among them. The devil also asked to turn him into silver money will be used to pay for the goods he had stolen. After that, he can change himself back so that the villagers lost their silver and lead them to accuse each other and cause noise.

The devil was agreed Jack, transformed himself into silver and into Jack's wallet. He does not know is, he has kept the silver cross that could cause the devil to lose its power to change. In all the myths about o'Lantern Jack, Jack agreed to free only if the devil promised not to take his soul.

After Jack died, because heaven does not accept it, he went up to hell. But the hell’s devil guards can not accept it because it has promised not to take Jack's soul. Finally… the devil gave him a small fire of hell will never go out. The fire was stored by Jack in holes in the pumpkin which he used as a lantern to light his way. He carried the pumpkin lanterns and traveling the world of living human being until he gets the final resting place.

Draw Optimus Prime Coloring Pages Step by Step

draw transformer

Step 1.
In this first complicated step you will be drawing the entire frame of Optimus Prime. Start by drawing the circle shape for his head which is small. draw in the facial guidelines as well. Now start drawing out the squared shoulders and shape them the way they are shown. After that draw out the shape of his big bulky right arm and shape it the way it is shown to you here. Now draw out the shape of his left arm than the shapes of his legs and feet.


Step 2.
In this next detailed step you will have to do start drawing out all detailed lines and shapes that make Optimus Prime what he is today. Start with the head and work your way down. Make sure that you detail this character exactly the way it shown to you here. Always start at the top work your way to his shoulders which is just a series of lines that go across his chest as you see here. Start detailing his thighs and lower legs along with his feet and arms.



Step 3.
The best way to continue sketching out the detailing to Optimus Prime is to enlarge the steps from here on out so you can see all the lining that needs to be done. Starting with the face sketch in the detailing lines that will eventually make up his eyes. It looks like he is wearing a mask if you look closely. Again after the face is drawn out you can them move onto sketching in more details on the shoulders and chest, than move onto the arms and draw out his left fist and his right hand. Detail his thigh and legs some more and move to the next step.



Step 4.
In this part you will be mainly working on sketching the right side of Optimus Prime. As you can tell since we didn't draw any shapes or guidelines you will have no need to erase any lines that are clearly visible. When ever you draw a detailed character or any detailed image for that matter, you almost always have to draw an outline of the objects frame. Do you know how hard it would be to erase all the shapes and guidelines to a sketch like this. After you have detailed the areas indicated here you can move to the next step.



Step 5.
This step just involves sketching in of more detailing areas of this popular Autobot. Detail the right upper shoulder and work your way down. you are almost done with your Transformer.



Step 6.
In this step, I'm going to teach you how to shade those rough hard darkened spots. This will make you image look more realistic and add some depth to those flat lines. So what we will do is first get out your smudge tool. You can find this tool on your palate. All Adobe Photoshops have this tool. Make sure you set the brush to a reasonable size to smudge your dark areas. After you found a suitable brush size for you taste, set the strength to 54 percent. This will give you more control of the brush. Its a strength mix of hard and light. Once you got this done, we will move onto the next step. ^_^



Step 7.
Now this step is going to show you the differences between a non-smudged area and a smudged area. You can see the difference between a without the smudge tool and the with smudge tool. As you can see without the smudge the lines are apart and rough. You can see visible whiteness. Now compared to the with smudge tool, you have no visible whiteness and a more creamy look to it. This is th power of using the smudge tool . :D



Step 8.
In this step I will tell you the key trick on shading and smudging. You must first and always define your L.I.G.H.T.S.O.U.R.E!!! This is very important to shading your image. You must always find the direction of your highlights and shades. Before you shade you always define this light source. After that start shading!

Step 9.
This is what your completed Optimus Prime should look like when you are totally done sketching, drawing, and shading him in. All you have to do now is color him in. That will do it for this tutorial on how to draw Optimus Prime from the Transformers. I will see you all soon.
