Colored Pencil Sea turtle part 1 - background water and coral w/ lachri

This is part one of my sea turtle in colored pencil demonstration. Today I'm showing you how I created the background water, some of the coral and a couple of hippo tangs (Dory).

For part one of this drawing, I'm working on Fabriano Artistico extra white hot pressed 140lb watercolor paper.
