Summer Surfer Kid

Catch a wave with this happy cartoon kid surfing through summer. Dressed in swim shorts and balancing on a surfboard, the surfer rides a big curling ocean wave with arms stretched out, a wide smile, and splashy water all around the board, while the sun shines and a seagull glides through the sky. There is a lovely mix here — a character, a board, a wave, and a sky — so kids get several distinct areas to color, from skin and shorts to the rolling water. Surfers stretch their arms out exactly like this to keep their balance as the board tips and turns. Use cool blues for the wave and splashes, a bright color for the swim shorts, and a sunny yellow sun overhead. Print on US Letter or A4 and ride the page all the way to shore.
