Gentle Stingray's Sandy Sanctuary

Fun Fact

Stingrays are related to sharks and have a unique way of breathing! They take in water through openings called spiracles, located on top of their heads, which helps them breathe even when buried in the sand!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 **Texture Focus** - Pay close attention to the stingray's skin patterns. Use different shades of grey, brown, or even purplish tones, applying them with small, circular motions to emphasize its textured surface.
2. 2🖍️ **Sandy Details** - For the sandy ocean floor, use light browns, yellows, and even very pale oranges. Vary your pressure to create the delicate ripples and highlight the tiny pebbles around the stingray.
3. 3✨ **Friendly Eye** - Make the stingray's eye shine! Use a darker color for the pupil and a lighter, reflective color like light blue or yellow around it, adding a tiny white dot for a sparkle of life.
4. 4🌈 **Subtle Shadows** - To give your stingray depth, imagine where the light might be coming from. Use slightly darker shades of your chosen colors on the underside of its body and where it meets the sand to create soft shadows.
