Shark Features You’ll Color
Every sheet shows sharks in their natural ocean habitat. Sharp teeth appear in some open-mouth designs. Dorsal fins slice through illustrated waves. Young artists will discover:
- Great white sharks swimming near the water surface

- Whale sharks displaying spotted patterns across their backs
- Tiger sharks showing distinctive stripes along their sides
- Baby sharks grouped together in shallow reef areas
- Sharks positioned beside underwater rocks or kelp forests
Visual Context
Waves ripple above some sharks. Bubbles trail behind their tails. Small fish dart away in the background. Coral structures anchor the bottom portions of certain designs.
Most pages place one large shark as the central figure. Others include multiple sharks at different distances to create depth. The ocean floor appears in some scenes with shells scattered across sand.
Ocean blues dominate these pages. Gray bodies need careful shading. Teeth get bright white treatment. Bellies stay lighter than backs.
Try blending different blue shades for the water—navy for deep areas and light blue near the surface. Darker grays along the shark’s top create realistic dimension.
Markers work well for bold ocean colors, while colored pencils allow gentler blending on the shark’s skin.
Fun Fact: Sharks have been swimming in Earth’s oceans since before trees existed on land.
