How to color Realistic Hippo, Side Profile (with suggested palette)
Colors that work well together — tap any swatch to copy its hex.
Start with the biggest shape first, the hippo's body and head, then move into the wrinkle lines and shading along its back. Work the mouth and teeth next, since that dark opening anchors the whole face. Finish with the small grass and rocks on the ground. Tap any color below to copy its HEX code.
Additional Coloring Tips
1Wrinkles
Trace each fold with charcoal gray before filling the body so the shading reads as skin, not stripes.
2Teeth
Leave the teeth ivory white and outline them lightly in gray so they stand apart from the pink gums.
3Toes
Use a fine-tip marker on the small toenails so they stay crisp against the thicker leg outlines.
