Gentle Face at the Water's Edge

A peaceful manatee pokes her big, whiskery nose up to say hello, letting her round eyes peek above the surface. Her thick, wrinkly cheeks look soft enough to squish, and her broad flippers rest gently, almost waving at you below the water.

Fine lines sweep across her head and muzzle, showing every little wrinkle and hair, while gentle ripples dance above where the water meets her forehead. This manatee floats quietly, her calm gaze watching everything with sleepy curiosity.

Fun Fact!

A key difference between a manatee and a dugong is their tail shape: a manatee has a rounded, paddle-like tail, while a dugong has a fluke-like tail, similar to a whale's.

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Make the water swirly blue to show ripples around her head.
  2. 2 Try using two grays on her nose for a soft, fuzzy look.
  3. 3 Add tiny green spots if you want to show algae from her river home.
  4. 4 Give her cheeks a gentle blush with light pink or peach.
