Penguin Swimming Underwater Colouring Page

A penguin glides underwater with its streamlined body stretched forward and its flippers extended. Its feet trail behind as small bubbles rise towards the surface. A few smooth rocks below give a sense of depth without crowding the swimming bird. How to colour: Use charcoal black for the head, back and outer flippers, white for the belly, golden yellow for the ear patches and pale yellow at the chest. Colour the bill dark grey with an orange stripe and the feet slate grey. Blend light turquoise water near the surface into medium blue lower down, leaving the bubble centres white. Use smooth strokes along the body and long horizontal strokes through the water. Shade the rocks cool grey and keep the area around the penguin slightly lighter.
