Whale Shark by an Underwater Arch

A whale shark swims across the opening of a large underwater rock arch. Small fish and branching, rounded and fan-shaped coral surround the arch, with tube-shaped sponges near the sandy path. Color the rocks first, then work through the finer coral branches.

Blue whale shark with white spots beneath a warm gray rock arch, with yellow fish and uncolored coral and sponges. — A digital example of this practice; uncolored areas are intentional.

1. Soft blue — whale shark body and fins
2. Warm gray — arch and rocks
3. Golden yellow — small fish

Color the whale shark blue, including its fins. Leave the outlined spots and mouth white.
Fill the arch, foreground rocks and small stones warm gray, keeping their crack lines visible.
Color all the small fish yellow. Leave coral, tube sponges, seaweed, sand and open water white.

The gray arch should surround the blue shark without closing the white opening. Check the white spots and find yellow fish both above and below the shark.
