Curious Baby Catfish in the Reeds

Fun Fact

Did you know that catfish have super long whiskers, called barbels, that act like super-sensitive fingers? They use them to feel around and find yummy food in murky water, even in the dark!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Whisker Wonders - Use very fine tips or colored pencils to gently shade the catfish's prominent barbels, giving them a soft, tactile look.
2. 2🖍️ Reed Realism - Experiment with different shades of green and brown for the reeds, layering colors to create depth and texture, showing some in shadow and some catching light.
3. 3✨ Watery Whimsy - For the subtle ripples on the water's surface, try light blues, grays, and even faint purples, blending them softly to show movement and reflection.
4. 4🌈 Stone Story - The smooth river stones below can be colored with various earthy tones like grays, browns, and muted greens, adding tiny speckles or highlights to make them look wet and rounded.
