Coloring tips

Use gold for the head crest, grey and white for the body feathers, and green for the marsh grass and reeds.
This advanced illustration is ideal for older children or adults who enjoy intricate patterns and fine line work.
Try using a fine-tipped pen for the many small insects and use light blue strokes to suggest water ripples around the crane.
