Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Feather Textures - Use short, fine strokes in varying shades of gray, blue, and brown to give the cuckoo's sleek feathers a realistic and textured appearance.
2. 2🖍️ Glowing Fronds - Experiment with layers of light greens and yellows for the fern fronds, adding a touch of very pale yellow or white in the center of each frond to create a soft, mystical glow.
3. 3✨ Vintage Key Details - Pay close attention to the tiny, intricate engravings on the key. Use metallic shades like gold, bronze, or silver, and add small highlights to make it look truly ancient and valuable.
4. 4🌈 Forest Atmosphere - Create depth in the serene forest clearing by using darker greens and browns for background elements and lighter, brighter tones for the foreground moss-covered branch and the cuckoo itself.
