A pale throat above aqua ripples

Keep the whale’s long throat lines clear and separate the rocky island from the water.

Digital example: A whale’s blue and ivory head rises from aqua water beside a gray island with green trees.

1. Blue — side of the head
2. Ivory — throat and bumps
3. Pale aqua — water
4. Warm gray — rocks
5. Green — trees

Color the narrow side of the head blue around the eye.
Fill the broad throat and small bumps with ivory.
Shade the water pale aqua without hiding the ripples.
Color the island rocks and distant shore warm gray.
Use green on the small trees; leave the sky and clouds white.

The throat lines and rings of ripples remain clear, and the green trees stand out from the gray rocks.
