Penguin coloring pages

Standing on a little ice floe, a cheerful penguin spreads its flippers wide as if ready for a hug. Its round body, big tummy, small beak and webbed feet are drawn with thick outlines and no background. Perfect for children aged about 2 to 5. Use a black or dark blue crayon for the back and head, leave the tummy white, and add bright orange to the beak and feet.

A smiling penguin stands on a floating sheet of ice in a calm polar sea. Jagged icebergs rise behind it, a smaller floe drifts nearby, and a round sun and two clouds sit in the sky. The shapes are simple but the scene is complete, a nice step up for kids around 5 to 10. Try shading the icebergs with light blue and lavender pencils to make them look frosty. Prints on A4 or US Letter.

Tall and dignified, a realistic penguin stands in profile on icy rocks, its feathers and clawed feet rendered with fine strokes. Floating ice floes dot the water behind it, sheer ice cliffs line the shore, and rugged mountains rise beneath clouds and a pale round sun. This detailed polar scene suits older kids and adults. Watercolor pencils in icy blues and soft grays, blended with a damp brush, give the water a cold, glassy look.

Patterned from beak to toes, this penguin wears a beaded collar and a chest full of petal shapes, diamonds and dotted bands. The background is just as busy: faceted geometric mountains and icebergs, a rippling sea, a sun ringed by swirling clouds and arched mandala motifs along the bottom. Every space is filled, making it a great challenge for experienced adult colorists. Fine liners in a palette of navy, ice blue and silver gray keep the polar mood.
