Penguin Walking on Ice Colouring Page

A penguin waddles across a sheet of ice, lifting one webbed foot while balancing on the other. Its upright body and slightly open flippers give the bird a lively walking pose. Fine cracks and distant snowy ridges place it in a simple icy landscape. How to colour: Colour the head, back and outer flippers charcoal black, the ear patches golden yellow and the upper chest pale lemon yellow. Leave the belly white. Use dark grey for the bill, a narrow orange bill stripe and slate grey for the feet. Give the ice a very light turquoise wash with blue along the cracks. Work with smooth pencil strokes on the penguin and light horizontal strokes on the ice, adding a small soft shadow beneath the standing foot.
