Adélie Penguin's Grand Ocean Leap

Fun Fact

Adélie penguins are incredible swimmers and can leap several feet out of the water onto ice floes or land, a behavior called porpoising, often to escape predators or reach their nests!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Water Spray - Use light blues, whites, and even a touch of very light grey for the splashing water droplets to give them a shimmering, transparent look.
2. 2🖍️ Penguin Feathers - Adélie penguins have sleek black backs and pure white fronts. Try shading the black with deep blues or purples for depth, and use very light grey or cream for subtle shading on the white belly.
3. 3✨ Icy Mountains - For the distant mountains, think about cool tones like light blues, greys, and even a hint of lavender. Use varying pressures to show the different textures of ice and rock.
4. 4🌈 Ocean Depths - The ocean can be a beautiful gradient! Start with darker blues near the bottom and lighten towards the surface where the penguin is leaping, adding hints of turquoise or green for clarity.
