How much detail?

The main shell and claws are open areas; the jointed legs form smaller sections. About the labels.

Try this palette: Strawberry leaves

Try coral on the body and claws, then give the sand a much lighter warm shade.

A small coloring tip

A broad crayon fits the shell and claws; use a point along the short leg joints.

Color the walking legs in alternating shades, following them around the body.
