Understanding Skatepark Features and Tricks
When coloring the skatepark scenes, it helps to know the parts of the course. A halfpipe is a U-shaped ramp where skaters build speed to catch air. The bowl looks like an empty swimming pool, allowing riders to carve continuously around the curved walls. You will also see skaters grinding, which means sliding the trucks of the skateboard along a metal rail or concrete edge.
The action poses capture the moment a skater pops the board into the air. Older kids can use shading under the skateboard to emphasize the height of the jump and make the trick look more dynamic. Use gray and light blue colored pencils to give the concrete ramps a realistic texture, and add dark shadows directly under the wheels to make the jumps look much higher.
Customizing Decks and Skate Gear
Skate culture is heavily tied to art and personal style. The bottom of the skateboard, called the deck, is a blank canvas. Colorists can design their own graphics on the boards shown in these action trick pages. Skaters often wear loose-fitting clothes for easy movement. Try using earthy tones like khaki and olive green for cargo pants, paired with bright graphic tees.
Beyond the boards, you can color the classic canvas skate shoes with thick rubber soles designed to grip the board.
- Grip tape: Usually black, but can be customized with bright neon stripes or checkered patterns.
- Wheels and trucks: Add metallic silver for the metal trucks and bright urethane colors for the wheels.
- Safety gear: Helmets and knee pads can be matched to the skater's outfit or given bright, contrasting colors.
Simple Skateboard Designs for Beginners
While the detailed skatepark scenes appeal to teens, younger children often prefer the cute animals on skateboards. These pages feature larger, simpler shapes that are easier to color with crayons. Kids can color a bulldog puppy pushing a board or a shark riding a longboard down the boardwalk.
The dinosaur jumping over a puddle gives kids a chance to practice coloring water splashes. These playful pages are a great addition to a general lesson on sports or outdoor activities, showing that riding a board is about balance and having fun outside.
Questions
What is skateboard art called?
Skateboard art is often referred to as deck art or board graphics. It involves designing the bottom of the skateboard deck with illustrations, logos, or patterns.
What can I use to draw on my skateboard?
Many artists use acrylic paint pens or permanent markers to draw directly on a wooden skateboard deck. After the design dries, it is usually sealed with a clear coat to protect the art from scratches.
