Fun Facts About Messi!
The “Atomic Flea”
Did the artist know that when Messi was a young boy, he was much smaller than all the other kids on the field? Because of his size and his incredible speed, he earned the nickname “La Pulga,” which means “The Flea” in Spanish! Despite his stature, his agility allowed him to weave through defenders effortlessly, proving that greatness isn’t measured by height, but by heart and talent.
A Golden Trophy Cabinet
Messi has a collection of awards that would require a massive amount of gold paint to replicate! He holds the record for winning the most Ballon d’Or awards (the prize for the best player in the world). His journey culminated in a cinematic moment when he finally lifted the FIFA World Cup for Argentina in 2022, a scene depicted in many of our most heroic coloring sheets.
A Goal-Scoring Machine
If one were to count every goal represented by our action sketches, they would be counting for a long time. Messi has scored over 800 goals in his professional career. That includes incredible solo runs, stunning free-kicks that curve like a brushstroke, and precise penalties. He holds the record for the most goals in a single calendar year – a staggering 91 goals in 2012!
Coloring Tips for Your Messi Masterpiece
- Mastering the Kit Colors: Depending on which era of Messi the artist chooses, the palette will shift dramatically. For an Argentina page, focus on alternating sky blue and white stripes, using a light grey to add shadows to the white folds. If coloring his Inter Miami kit, have a neon pink ready – it needs to look electric and bold against the green grass!
- Creating Texture on the Pitch: Don’t just color the ground flat green. To create the look of real grass, use short, quick upward strokes with different shades of green (lime, forest, and olive). This technique adds depth and makes it look like Messi is truly sprinting across a textured field.
- Capturing the Atmosphere: For the backgrounds featuring stadiums, one doesn’t need to draw every single person. Use a technique called “pointillism” (lots of small dots) using various bright colors to represent the blurred, cheering crowd in the distance. This puts the focus sharply on Messi while keeping the background lively and energetic.
