Coloring tips for this penguin printable

  • Use a dark shade for the penguin body and keep the face and tummy lighter so the rounded shape stands out.
  • Give the penguin scarf stripes alternating colors to make the winter outfit more noticeable.
  • Color the penguin hat band and pom-pom in a softer tone than the top of the hat for simple contrast.
  • Add a light pink, blue, or gray touch around the penguin eyes and beak to keep the cartoon look soft and friendly.
  • If you use markers on this penguin coloring page, start with the small feet and beak first, then fill the larger body areas more slowly.
