Dolphin Color Palette: What colors should I use?

For coloring a dolphin, I recommend using a vibrant palette that reflects the ocean habitat. A lovely light blue or aqua for the body captures the essence of the sea, while a deeper navy blue can be great for shading. To add some brightness, you might incorporate a soft coral pink for the dolphin’s underbelly or accents. Lastly, a glossy white can be used for highlights to give your dolphin a more lifelike appearance.

How to Color a Dolphin Drawing: Tips & Tricks

  1. Shading and Highlights: Consider the play of light and shadow on the dolphin's skin to create depth and realism. Incorporate highlights to represent the wet, shiny texture of their skin and darker shades for the areas in shadow.

  2. Environment: Think about the oceanic setting. Use complementary colors for the water and the dolphin, such as varying shades of blue or green, and include elements like coral reefs, seaweed, or bubbles to enhance the composition.

  3. Mood and Emotion: Reflect the overall mood you want to convey. Warmer colors may evoke a sense of joy or playfulness if depicting dolphins at play, while cooler tones can create a tranquil or serene atmosphere.
