Whale Shark
The gentle giant of the ocean! Use a light grey for the base and add white dots with a gel pen or white crayon to mimic their unique pattern. Tip: Use a circular motion to make the spots look natural.
Dolphin Heart
Dolphins are highly social creatures. Try coloring the dolphin in shades of slate grey, and use a soft pink for the heart to make it pop. Tip: Press lightly with your pencil for a smooth, blended look on the dolphin's curved body.
Classic Whale
This is the perfect starter page. Use a deep ocean blue for the top and a light sky blue for the belly. Tip: Color the water spout in a swirling motion to show movement.
Humpback Whale
Humpbacks are famous for their long fins. Use dark grey for the body and leave the belly white. Tip: Add some blue wavy lines around the whale to create an underwater scene.
Grey Whale
Grey whales are fascinating because they often have barnacles. Use brown dots on the skin to represent them. Tip: Keep your pencil strokes horizontal to follow the whale's body shape.
Cartoon Dolphin
Have fun with this one! Since it's a cartoon, you can use bright, non-traditional colors like purple or teal. Tip: Use a darker shade of your main color to add a shadow under the dolphin's belly.
Cute Whale
This whale is all about personality. Use soft blue for the body and a bright pink for the cheeks. Tip: Use a white gel pen to add a 'sparkle' in the eyes for a cute effect.
Beluga Whale
Belugas are the 'canaries of the sea.' Keep this one mostly white, but use a light cream or yellow crayon to add texture. Tip: Use a light blue pencil to outline the whale so it stands out against the white paper.
Blue Whale
The largest animal on Earth! Use a mix of slate grey and blue to get the right color. Tip: Use long, sweeping strokes to color the massive body, which helps build hand control.
Orca
Orcas have a very distinct black-and-white pattern. Use a black marker for the body and leave the patches white. Tip: Color the black areas first, then carefully fill in the white areas to avoid smudging.
