Tips For Coloring Wild Turkey
What colors should I use for a wild turkey coloring page?
Wild turkeys have a great diversity of colors. Their body feathers are generally a metallic, coppery color. Their wings are white and black, with black tips. The head of a wild turkey is red, blue or white, depending on its arousal level and health status. Mature males, or “toms,” have a large, featherless, reddish head, reddish throat, and reddish wattles. To make the turkey more vibrant, you can use shiny, sparkly colors.
How can I add more detail and realism to my wild turkey coloring?
To add more detail and a realistic touch to your coloring, begin with a base color. For instance, apply light browns and whites to bring out the texture of the feathers. Add shading in areas such as the underbelly, tail feathers and around the eyes. You can trace feather patterns lightly with a darker color, and add lighter strokes on the body for highlights. Also, the wild turkey’s iridescent plumage can catch light and appear to shine with copper, green, gold, red, and almost purple colors, consider replicating this with your coloring tools.
What are some remarkable features of the wild turkey I should pay attention to while coloring?
Attention to details such as the wattles and snoods of the wild turkey can enhance your coloring page. In real life, they change color when the turkey becomes distressed or excited. Normally, they are red, but can turn blue if the turkey is sick or scared. Also, the feathers of the turkey are iridescent, meaning they change color when viewed from different angles, you could try to replicate this through shading in your artwork.
Can you provide some interesting facts about the wild turkey that I could incorporate into my art?
Sure, did you know that wild turkeys can fly up to 55 miles per hour for short distances? They also have powerful legs which allow them to run at speeds up to 20 miles per hour. In comparison, turkeys that are bred in farms cannot fly due to their size. Another interesting fact is that a wild turkey’s gobble can be heard from up to a mile away, a great detail you might want to illustrate. Some artists also like to depict turkeys in their natural woodland habitat. You might want to add trees, leaves, or bugs the turkey might eat.
