Pigeon Resting on a Rooftop Colouring Page

A pigeon rests on a tiled rooftop above the city. Its folded wings and alert head create a calm pose, while the curved roof tiles form a steady perch beneath its feet. A small distant skyline places the bird in a familiar town setting without taking attention away from the pigeon. How to colour: Colour the body light blue-grey, the head slate grey and the wing bars and tail tip charcoal. Add emerald green and violet to the neck, coral pink to the feet and dark grey to the bill. Use terracotta red for the roof tiles, with burnt orange on their upper curves and reddish brown beneath the overlaps. Keep the distant buildings pale cream and cool grey. Lay down the light colours first, follow each curved tile with smooth strokes and use stronger shading near the pigeon's feet to anchor it to the roof.
