I've been eye-balling this page for quite a while and so I've finally colored it!
And YES - there really ARE blue hermit crabs!
Either way, it adds interest when coloring, in which 'anything goes'!
I added a little bit of purple mixed in with blue on the body of the crab
because of this beauty I saw on the internet. WOW!
Look at the blues, purples and even PINKS!
I read up on hermit crabs and they mostly take over abandoned snail shells,
but they also (unfortunately) make their home in our plastic garbage.
Very sad.
That's why I colored the 'house' a different color from the crab.
It's 'shell' is like a plot of paradise!
The shell has two colors.
The base color is Cadmium Orange Hue & the accents are in Pumpkin Orange.
As you can see, I meticulously drew over the lines as accents
to make them stand out.
Sometimes when you take your time coloring,
you can produce something appeasing to the eye.
In this close-up, you can see starfish, shells &
even a baseball mitt strew across the landscape.
All of the vegetation is colored in various greens.
I think doing that makes it look a little more realistic.
For instance, the coconut palms are different from the other types of palms.
Take a look in the up close photos below.
I'm going to start with the encampment!
If you notice, there's a purple lotus flower sitting on a lily pad!
That's because it's on the following page in this coloring book.
Kerby Rosanes hides a little something from the following page!
Just to show you about the lotus flower,
this is the next two-page spread that I colored quite a while back.
Now let's go all around the page.....
Thank you so much for visiting!
Hope you're having a great day like I am!
