Vibrant Coral Reef Expedition

Fun Fact

Coral reefs are often called the "rainforests of the sea" because they are home to over 25% of all marine species, even though they cover less than 1% of the ocean floor!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Coral Textures - Use a variety of warm and cool colors, like pinks, oranges, purples, and blues, to highlight the unique textures of brain and fan corals. Try stippling or small circular motions for different effects.
2. 2🖍️ Layering for Depth - For the ocean water and distant elements like the sea turtle, use multiple layers of light blue and green pencils. Press lighter for areas that seem further away and a bit darker for closer elements.
3. 3✨ Fishy Details - Give each tropical fish its own vibrant personality! Use bright, contrasting colors and remember to add small patterns or stripes to make them truly pop against the coral.
4. 4🌈 Anemone Flow - To show the gentle sway of the anemones, use soft, blending colors like light purples, pinks, and yellows. Imagine them moving with the current and color in flowing strokes.
