Complex Underwater World is a classic sea-life motif. These images offer plenty of room for blues, teals, and greens. For gradients, layer two or three shades and blend gently. Scales, fins, and water bubbles are small detail areas that bring the image to life.
The coral reef comes alive with warm oranges, pinks, and reds, which you can accent with light yellows. For the fish, use vibrant blues, greens, and violet shades with metallic effects – layering colored pencil over pencil creates highlights. Water plants look especially three-dimensional with dark blue-green. Color the light rays with bright yellow or white to create depth. Vary your pressure: light for backgrounds, strong for details. This creates a fascinating three-dimensional underwater landscape.
