Breaching Whale Coloring Page

Vertical throat grooves line the whale's underside from jaw to belly, creating natural striping patterns that follow the animal's elongated body in this detailed coloring design. The mammal's pectoral fins extend outward from its torso, while small barnacle clusters dot sections of the skin near the head. Water droplets and splash lines surround the breaching form, with curved wave crests rolling beneath where the tail meets the surface. The grooved underbelly needs gradient shading to show the curves moving from light to shadow as the body twists upward. Try cool grays and slate blues for the whale's upper portions, shifting to pale cream or white along the throat pleats. Blend turquoise and deep navy tones in the surrounding ocean, leaving white highlights where water catches light on the splash patterns.
