Cartoon Shark In An Ocean Scene With Waves Coloring Page

A grinning shark with the sea only suggested around it, in curling wave lines, a few bubbles and seaweed in each corner.

The shark here has a soft rounded snout and a wide grin, and the sea around it is suggested rather than filled in: a few long curling wave lines above the back, two or three swirls below the belly, a scatter of bubbles and a clump of seaweed in each bottom corner. The frame crops the picture at the edges, which pushes the animal forward and makes it feel close to you. Because the water is only implied, you have a real choice to make about it. Leave the white paper as water and the page stays airy and light. Lay a pale blue across everything except the shark and it becomes a proper underwater scene, with the wave curls turning into currents. Both work, and the second is more satisfying if you have pencils rather than crayons. The teeth should stay white either way. Six and up. Sharks like this one have to keep moving in order to breathe, since many species drive water over their gills by swimming forward, which is why you so rarely see one pictured sitting still.
