In this scene, you will find a happy shark gliding past a detailed coral reef. The shark has a big smile and friendly eyes that make it a great subject for younger artists. Long strands of seaweed sway in the gentle current at the bottom of the page, adding a sense of movement to the artwork.

Tiny bubbles float toward the surface, while thick sun rays at the top of the page create a beautiful pattern of light. The coral is full of different textures and shapes, providing a wonderful opportunity to use many different shades. Every element works together to create a complete and adventurous marine environment.

Consider using a soft grey or light blue for the shark's body to keep it looking friendly. You can add a lighter color to its belly to give it more dimension. The coral reef is a great place to use your brightest colors like pink, orange, and purple to make the scene pop.

For the seaweed, try mixing different shades of green to show how the light hits the leaves. The sun rays can be filled with a very pale yellow or even left mostly white with a soft yellow outline to make the water look like it is truly shimmering. Using a light touch with a blue crayon or colored pencil for the water around the bubbles will help them stand out.
