Axolotl in Water Plants

Drift into a peaceful underwater garden with this axolotl gliding gently among tall, wavy plants and leafy reeds. Small bubbles rise around it and soft pebbles are scattered along the bottom, filling the page with calm, flowing shapes. The long plants make lovely sweeping lines that are satisfying to color in greens of every shade, while the rounded axolotl stays simple enough for beginners. Steadier hands can layer different greens into the reeds and add highlights to the pebbles. In the wild, axolotls are found in cool lakes and canals near Mexico City, where they hide among water plants exactly like these to stay safe from larger animals. Coloring this scene is a quiet, relaxing activity that is easy to lose yourself in. Print it on US Letter or A4 and grow your underwater jungle in any colors you choose.
