easy


A single starfish can fill most of a page, share the sand with a shell, or sit at the center of a ring of shells. This collection also offers small groups and underwater settings, so you can choose between open shapes and more details.

Pick a large sea star for steady color, or several smaller ones for a repeating rule.

Rows of circles follow all five arms. The spaces between them leave room for broad strokes.

Plain and dotted sea stars alternate in two rows; useful for matching designs with colors.

Digital coloring example

The circles should stay separate from the coral body. White space between the arms needs no color.
For broad crayon strokes, begin with a large shape and a mostly empty background. Spotted designs add smaller areas; shell ridges, seaweed and rocks give pencils more lines to follow. Compare the actual preview rather than choosing by the number of starfish alone.
Try two colors on a separate scrap of paper, then repeat them in the spots or shell sections you like. With a group picture, give each starfish a different combination. Place two finished pages side by side and point out one pattern or background detail you chose differently.
