Choose the kind of detail you want to follow
More natural proportions do not always mean a crowded page. Look for feathers, grooves or a broad coat, then choose which marks you want to work around.
Overlapping feathers
The eagle has long tail feathers and smaller shapes on its wings. Follow one group at a time; the head can stay white.
Bald Eagle on a Branch →
Grooves and leaf veins
The beetle's wing covers and the large leaf have different lines. Use separate colors for the insect and leaf to keep both readable.

A broad side view
The bull has a large open body and small grass tufts. Choose it to try light shading without many enclosed sections.

Print the original line drawing linked below. The numbered areas match the color key and steps; use the colored example as a starting point, then choose your own colors if you prefer.
Digital coloring example
- 1. Brown body and branch
- 2. Yellow beak and feet
- 3. White head and tail
- Lay brown lightly over the body and wings. Add a little more near overlapping feathers; use a lighter brown layer on the branch.
- Color the beak and feet yellow, working around the eye and the fine claw outlines.
- Leave the head and tail white. If you add shading, keep it very light so those areas remain distinct.
The feather lines, white head and yellow beak should still be easy to separate.
Use a reference when the real colors matter
Look at a clear photograph of the same subject before choosing natural colors. Compare one visible feature at a time, such as the head, wing or leaf.
These line drawings simplify their subjects. The palette is a coloring suggestion, not an identification chart; imaginative colors are welcome too.
