Sea Otter on Its Back With a Scallop Shell (Sea Animals (General))

Coloring guide
Floating on its back, a smiling sea otter cradles a ridged scallop shell against its fluffy belly with both front paws. Round eyes, a big nose, whiskers and little rounded ears make for a sweet, cuddly face, and the furry outline of the body is fun to fill in with short pencil strokes. Two big hind feet point up toward the bottom of the page, with the thick tail curving beneath. Wavy lines across the top and around the otter show the water's surface, and long ribbon-like kelp with little round bladders sways along both sides. There's plenty of open space here for young colorists. Warm browns and tans for the fur, a soft pink shell, layered greens for the kelp and blue waves would finish it off. Add this to your Sea Animals coloring page collection, alongside Seals & Sea Lions and Lizard.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Fill the otter's body and head with caramel brown, leaving the white water background around them untouched.
- 2Color the feet and the inside of both ears with dark brown.
- 3Color the nose charcoal gray, then fill the scallop shell with blush pink, adding a little extra on the ridges.
- 4Color the long kelp leaves on both sides with lime green, and add forest green to the darker leaves at the top and bottom.
- 5Fill the round kelp pods with golden yellow so they stand out against the green leaves.
- 6Optional: Add a few darker strokes of dark brown along the otter's body and feet for a bit of fur texture, and keep the wavy water lines white.
