Penguin Catching Fish Colouring Page

A penguin swims through the water with a small fish held across its bill. Its open flippers and trailing feet suggest a quick turn during the catch. Bubbles and a few simple underwater details surround the clear outline of the bird and fish. How to colour: Colour the penguin's head, back and outer flippers charcoal black and leave its belly white. Add golden-yellow ear patches, a pale-yellow upper chest and slate-grey feet. Use dark grey and a narrow orange stripe on the bill. Make the fish silver grey with a teal-blue back and pale fins. Colour the water turquoise and the rocks cool grey. Layer the water lightly, keep the fish brighter than its surroundings and follow its scales with tiny pencil strokes for a clean shimmering effect.
