King Penguin Colony by the Sparkling Sea

Fun Fact

Did you know King Penguin chicks are covered in thick, fluffy brown down feathers? They stay warm in these until they are old enough to grow their waterproof adult feathers and learn to swim!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Rocky Textures - Use short, varied strokes and different shades of grey, brown, and even hints of purple to create a realistic, rugged look for the rocky shore.
2. 2🖍️ Penguin Plumage - King Penguins have sleek black backs, white bellies, and distinctive patches of orange-yellow on their necks and chests. Remember their fluffy brown chicks!
3. 3✨ Sparkling Ocean - Use various blues and a touch of white for the ocean, adding small, quick strokes or dots of lighter blue or white to show the water sparkling in the light.
4. 4🌈 Depth and Distance - Make the penguins in the foreground more detailed and vibrant, while those swimming in the background can have slightly softer colors to create a sense of depth.
