Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Feather Focus - Use a variety of green shades, with touches of yellow or blue, to give the parrot's feathers a rich, textured look. Think about the direction feathers grow.
2. 2🖍️ Watery World - For the still puddle, use soft blues, grays, and even faint reflections of the parrot and surrounding leaves to show its clear, liquid surface.
3. 3✨ Leafy Layers - Detail the wet leaves on the forest floor with deep greens, browns, and subtle shadows to emphasize their dampness and overlapping textures.
4. 4🌈 Curious Gaze - Pay special attention to the parrot's eye and the slight tilt of its head; using a small highlight can make its expression of surprise truly shine.
