Our main character is a round penguin standing proudly in the center of the frame. He is balanced on a thick log that is decorated with patches of soft moss. Below the log, you will find delicate ferns and broad-leaved tropical plants stretching upward. These plants create a dense, green carpet on the forest floor, offering many textures to color.

As you look further back, a series of tall trees frame the sides of the page. In the far distance, rolling hills rise up to meet the wide sky. This layered landscape offers many different sections to color, from the tiny details on the leaves to the broad stretches of the horizon. Each element works together to create a full, busy scene that captures a unique slice of nature.

For the penguin, you might stick with traditional dark blues or try a deep charcoal for a softer look. The moss on the log looks wonderful with a bright, lime green, while the log itself can be shaded with different tones of brown and tan to show the texture of the bark. Using various shades of green for the ferns and tropical plants will help them stand out from one another.

Since this is a cartoon style with moderate line density, it is great for practicing staying inside the lines. You can use light blue or even a soft purple for the distant hills to give the drawing a sense of depth. For the sky, a pale yellow or orange could turn this into a sunset scene, making the whole forest feel warm and cozy.
