Coloring Tips
- 1 Use gray or light brown for the manatee's skin and add blue swirls for underwater light.
- 2 Try soft green or bluish tints on the belly to make him look like he's swimming in a river.
- 3 Dot tiny specks or freckles around the snout with brown or tan to highlight his whiskers.
- 4 Blend two colors on the wrinkles for a soft, real-life effect.
