What are some coloring tips for this page?

1. Start Light: Begin with lighter colors and layer darker shades on top to create depth, especially in the penguin's feathers.
2. Texture Fun: Use short, directional strokes to color the penguin's body to suggest a feathery texture. For the ice, try using sideways strokes and leave some tiny areas white to look like sparkles.
3. Background Choice: You can keep the background plain to make the penguin stand out, or lightly shade around the ice to create a sense of space.
4. Experiment: Don't be afraid to use unconventional colors! Maybe your penguin has a purple belly or the ice is tinted with pink from a sunset.
