Baby Pelican's Grand Swim Debut

Fun Fact

Baby pelicans are called "chicks" and are born without feathers, looking quite pink and helpless. They grow a fluffy down before their adult feathers come in, and they learn to swim and fish by watching their parents!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Fluffy Feathers - Use light, feathery strokes and layers of soft grays or browns for the baby pelican's fluffy down, giving it a soft, textured look.
2. 2🖍️ Majestic Mentor - Pay attention to the adult pelican's detailed feathers and long beak. Use varying shades of white, grey, or brown, adding subtle shadows to show feather texture.
3. 3✨ Sparkling Water - Create the illusion of clear, shallow water with gentle ripples. Use blues, greens, and even hints of white for reflections, making the water look transparent and inviting.
4. 4🌈 Natural Surroundings - Color the sandy shore with warm yellows and browns, and the reeds and water plants in the background with various greens. Remember to add subtle shadows under the birds and plants.
