Sharks

Color sharks with broad hammer-shaped heads, striped bodies or whale-shark spots, as well as smiling cartoon characters. Choose an open scene with a few bubbles for larger coloring spaces, or a reef, shell bed or rocky arch for finer details. Try contrasting colors for the shark and its surroundings.

Digital coloring example

Shark with a light gray back and tail, white belly and lower fins, above green seaweed.
A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.
  • 1. Gray back and tail
  • 2. White belly and lower fins
  • 3. Green seaweed
  1. Color above the wavy body line light gray, including both upper fins and the whole tail.
  2. Keep the belly below that line and all downward-facing fins white; preserve the gill lines.
  3. Color both seaweed clumps pale green. Leave bubbles, stones and water white.

The gray back should remain distinct from the white underside. Check where each fin meets the body before stopping.
