Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Feather Focus - Use fine-tipped pencils to add texture and direction to each individual feather on the cuckoo's wings and body.
2. 2🖍️ Canopy Depth - Create a sense of depth in the forest by using darker greens and blues for leaves further away and brighter shades for those closer.
3. 3✨ Light and Shadow - Observe where the light might be hitting the cuckoo and the trees, then use lighter and darker tones to create realistic shadows and highlights.
4. 4🌈 Blending Brilliance - Experiment with blending multiple shades of gray, brown, and blue on the cuckoo's plumage to achieve a lifelike, iridescent effect.
