What's In This Picture

At the center of the page, a happy penguin balances gracefully on one foot with ice skates firmly attached. The penguin is wearing a large pair of soft earmuffs that frame its friendly face. Below its feet, the ice rink is marked with gentle curved lines showing where the penguin has been gliding. In the distance, several triangular trees stand tall, adding a touch of nature to the icy landscape.

Looking further back, you will find jagged mountain peaks that reach up toward the sky. High above the horizon, a round sun shines down, giving the whole scene a bright and happy feel. Every element, from the texture of the earmuffs to the smooth surface of the ice, is designed with clear, bold lines that are easy to follow and fill with color. You can almost feel the crisp winter air and the sound of blades cutting through the ice as you look at all the different parts of this snowy world.

Coloring Tips

For the penguin, while traditional black and white are classic choices, you might try using a very dark navy or charcoal grey to keep the lines visible. The earmuffs and the laces on the ice skates are great places to use your favorite bright colors like hot pink, electric blue, or sunset orange to make the character pop against the cool background. For the ice rink, a very light touch of sky blue or pale lavender around the edges can give the appearance of cold, reflective frozen water.

To make the mountains look distant, try using lighter shades of grey or purple for them, while the trees look best in a mix of deep forest greens. You can even use a white crayon or a silver glitter pen to add some shimmering frost to the treetops or the mountain peaks. Since the sun is out, using warm yellows and golds will create a nice contrast with the cooler tones of the snow and ice. If you have a blending tool, try softening the colors on the penguin's belly to give it a soft, rounded look.

Did You Know?

While real penguins cannot actually ice skate, they are incredible athletes in the water. Some species can swim up to twenty miles per hour and dive hundreds of feet deep to find their favorite snacks. Even though they live in very cold places, their thick layers of fat and specialized feathers work just like a heavy winter coat to keep them warm and dry all day long.

Try This!

After you finish coloring, try drawing some tiny snowflakes falling from the sky around the penguin or adding some small fish jumping out of a hole in the ice. You could also write a short story about where this penguin learned to skate and give it a fun name. If you have friends coloring with you, see who can design the most colorful and creative patterns for the penguin's earmuffs.
