Hatchling Journey Begins Coloring Page

A determined hatchling crawls across textured sand dotted with circular impressions and scattered shells of varying sizes in this coloring design. Spiral conch shells with distinct ridged patterns sit alongside smooth clam shells, creating natural obstacles in the turtle's path. Behind the scene, three distinct wave formations roll toward shore, their curved crests and foam lines suggesting motion and the ocean's pull. Each shell segment on the turtle needs darker shading along the scute edges while keeping centers lighter to show dimension. Warm ochres and tans work for the beach sand, with darker stippling to capture the dimpled texture. Shells could feature contrasting coral pink, cream, and seafoam green. For the waves, start with deep blues at the base and transition to lighter aqua tones where foam meets crest through gradient blending.
