Toco Toucan Watching Butterflies in the Forest Colouring Page

A Toco Toucan sits on a forest branch and turns its giant bill toward three butterflies fluttering nearby. The single bird keeps both feet on the perch while the three insects remain clearly separate in the open space ahead. A few leaves suggest the forest without crowding the gentle scene. How to colour: Colour the toucan's crown, back, wings and tail deep black with subtle navy highlights, and leave its throat and chest white. Use sky blue for the eye ring and dark brown for the iris. Blend the bill from golden yellow to bright orange, add a red-orange lower edge and a black tip. Give the butterflies distinct colours: turquoise with purple spots, sunny yellow with orange edges, and pink with violet details. Use blue-grey for the feet, warm brown for the branch and mixed emerald and lime greens for the leaves. Apply smooth feather strokes, light symmetrical layers on each butterfly wing and darker green beneath overlapping leaves.
