Emu's Outback Sprint

Fun Fact

Emus are the second-largest living birds by height, after the ostrich. They can run incredibly fast, reaching speeds of up to 30 miles per hour (50 kilometers per hour) across the open plains!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Feather Focus - Use varying shades of brown, grey, and black to give the emu's feathers depth and texture, showing the direction of movement.
2. 2🖍️ Dynamic Dust - Lightly shade around the emu's powerful feet with sandy yellows and light browns to create the illusion of dust being kicked up as it sprints.
3. 3✨ Outback Hues - For the background, use warm tones like ochre, terracotta, and muted greens for the distant eucalyptus trees, capturing the dry heat of the Australian landscape.
4. 4🌈 Speed Lines - Consider adding very subtle, light strokes or streaks in the direction of the emu's movement, especially around its legs, to emphasize its impressive speed.
