Follow the blue curve

A white belly stripe makes the shark’s curved pose easy to see.

Digital example: Curving blue shark with a white belly above green seaweed.

1. Blue — body and fins
2. White — belly stripe
3. Green — seaweed
4. Gray — larger stones

Fill the back, tail and fins with blue, following the long curve.
Keep the curved belly stripe white from the snout toward the tail.
Color each seaweed blade green from its base to its tip.
Add gray to the larger stones; small stones and the ground may stay white.

The white belly should form an unbroken curve above the two green plant clusters.
