Finally, let’s add some color to our kelp drawing! Take a light blue pencil and color the stem and the kelp plates in the middle. Next, use a yellow-green pencil to fill in the kelp’s bladder. Now, use a darker blue to color the kelp on both sides and add depth to the drawing. Then, color the seabed with a light brown pencil and the water with different shades of blue.
