Swimmer in the Pool

"Swimmer in the Pool" is a great conversation starter about movement, team colors, and favorite clubs. Jerseys and sports gear can be colored in any favorite colors, making the result more personal and motivating to color.

For the swimmer, skin tones in beige or soft pink work beautifully, while the swimsuit looks great in bright blue, red, or purple. Create the water using different shades of blue – use lighter blue for the splashes and darker blue for the pool's depth. Water droplets look more lively when you highlight them with a white pencil or colored pencil. The pool edge benefits from gray tones or soft white. Bring out the movement and action by carefully coloring the splashes, which will enhance the sense of motion.
