Penguins of Madagascar Art Tutorial

In honor of the latest DreamWorks animation film, Penguins of Madagascar, we thought we’d enjoy a chalk pastel painting! The penguins are such funny little characters and we had fun remembering quotes as we sketched.

“Just smile and wave boys. Smile and wave.”

We used these chalk pastels colors: black, orange, yellow and blue.

However, with the black chalk pastel, we couldn’t get the fine point we needed for penguin eyeballs and flippers. So, we decided to try again – and to first sketch the outline of the four penguins with pencil.

(Yes, Penguins appeared on my Weather app! Pictured above, top left.) Using a pencil to create shadows and add little details with the penguins eyes was fun! Just notice their flippers, the personality of each pencil, their ‘smiling’ beaks!
