I am making this blog for mainly two reasons. Firstly to explain how to make a Penguin in CSS ofcourse😅. And secondly, I want to improve my communication and writing skills. So let's begin 😉

👶Basic starter

Let's make some basic elements in our art such as canvas, root etc elements.

HTML

<body>
 <div class="canvas"></div>
</body>

🎨CSS

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
*:after,
*:before {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
}
body {
  height: 100vh;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  background-color: #2a2a72;
  background-image: linear-gradient(315deg, #2a2a72 0%, #009ffd 74%);
}
.canvas {
  height: 80vmin;
  width: 80vmin;
  position: relative;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  background: #fff;
  border-radius: 4vmin;
  box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.24) 0px 3px 8px;
}

}
.legs i:nth-child(2) {
  border-radius: 0vmin 10vmin 0vmin 2vmin;
}
