Father Penguin Carrying an Egg Colouring Page

A father penguin carefully holds an egg on top of his feet, sheltered beneath the lower fold of his belly. His head tilts down towards the egg while his flippers rest at his sides. The quiet snowy setting highlights this protective pose. How to colour: Colour the father's head, back and outer flippers charcoal black, his ear patches golden yellow and his upper chest pale lemon yellow. Keep the belly white and use slate grey for the feet. Give the egg a warm ivory base with a faint cream shadow along its lower curve. Colour the bill dark grey with a narrow orange stripe. Use gentle curved pencil strokes around the egg and soft grey beneath the belly fold. Leave most snow white, adding a little ice blue close to the feet.
