Dolphin Coloring Pages

・Body shape
Dolphin has a smooth, streamlined body. This helps Dolphin swim fast in the water. Dolphin has one dorsal fin, two pectoral fins, and a big tail fin.

・Color
Usually, Dolphin's back is dark gray or blackish, and Dolphin's belly is whitish. This mix of colors helps Dolphin camouflage in the ocean.

・Blowhole and eyes
Dolphin's nose is on the top of its head, and it is called a blowhole. Dolphin breathes through this hole. Dolphin's eyes are on the sides of its head, and Dolphin can see very well.

・Cleverness
Dolphin is a very smart animal. Dolphin communicates with friends and works together with them to hunt.

・Color Shading on the Body
Try changing the colors little by little from Dolphin's back to its tummy. If you fade dark blue or gray into light blue or white, Dolphin will look 3D!

・Drawing the Water
The color of the water Dolphin swims in is important too. Don't just use blue! Mix in a little green, or make the sunny spots brighter. That will make your ocean look real!

・Bubbles and Splashes
When Dolphin jumps or swims fast, bubbles and splashes appear around it. Use a white crayon or paint, or light blue, to show how fast Dolphin is moving!

・The Background
If you add pictures of coral, seaweed, or other fish, your ocean scene will look even more fun and lively!
