Mangrove Nursery: Lemon Shark Haven

Fun Fact

Juvenile lemon sharks love living in mangrove forests because the dense roots offer excellent hiding spots from bigger predators, acting like a safe nursery where they can grow!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Root Depth - Use varying shades of brown, green, and even some dark grays for the intricate mangrove roots to show depth and texture.
2. 2🖍️ Shark Skin - Lemon sharks are typically yellowish-brown. Try blending a base yellow with light browns for a realistic, subtle gradient on their skin.
3. 3✨ Water Reflections - Add light blues, greens, and even hints of white around the shark's fins and eyes, and within the water, to suggest movement and shallow water reflections.
4. 4🌈 Background Life - Don't forget the tiny details! A few small fish or crabs hiding in the roots can add extra life and color to your underwater scene.
