About Upward-Tilted Fish With a Plain Body Coloring Page

This plain-bodied fish tilts upward to the left, with its open mouth leading the way. A rounded tail trails behind at the lower right. The top fin has a few broad curved sections, while a small side fin rests against the smooth body. The diagonal pose gives the picture movement without adding bubbles or scenery. Begin with the large center of the fish and use a second shade on the trailing tail. Children can color the fin sections individually or sweep one light color across them. The body remains free of scales and spots, leaving space for broad strokes. Afterward, an adult can ask which way the fish is going and follow the direction from tail to mouth. Leave the paper around the fish white if you want the tilted outline to stand out. The small facial lines need no extra coloring to keep the expression clear.
