Baby Otter's First Surf Adventure

Fun Fact

Sea otters have the densest fur of any animal, with up to a million hairs per square inch! This super-thick coat helps them stay warm and buoyant in chilly ocean waters.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Ocean Layers - Use varying shades of blue, green, and even some white to show the movement and depth of the water. Make the delicate ripples lighter for a shimmering effect.
2. 2🖍️ Fluffy Fur - Apply short, soft strokes in light browns, creams, or grays for the otter's fur. Add subtle darker shades for shadows to make it look extra fluffy and round, especially around its curious eyes.
3. 3✨ Board Brilliance - Make the tiny surfboard pop with vibrant, contrasting colors like bright red, sunny yellow, or electric blue. Consider adding a tiny highlight to suggest a glossy, wet surface.
4. 4🌈 Distant Details - For the sandy shore, use soft yellows and warm browns, blending them gently to show distance. Use pale blues and whites for the sky, perhaps with a hint of a fluffy cloud or a warm sunset glow.
