Coloring tips for this bird printable

  • Use one main color for the bird’s body and a second shade on the wings to make the flying bird stand out.
  • Keep the clouds light with white, pale blue, or light gray so the bird remains the main focus.
  • Add a slightly darker tone on the bird’s tail and under the wings to give the simple line art a little more depth.
  • If using markers, start with small bird details like the beak and eyes, then fill the larger sky areas more slowly.
  • For a softer look, use crayons for the sky and coloring pencils for the bird’s face and wing details.
