How much detail?

Large shell sections and flippers are broad; the outer rim, flipper spots and small tail are narrower. About the labels.

Try this palette: Gentle turtle

Alternate two greens in the large shell sections, then use a lighter shade for the flippers.

A small coloring tip

Broad crayons suit the shell and flippers; their tips can follow the narrow shell rim and small spots.

Give the center shell shape a different color from the surrounding sections.
