Fun Facts About Squirtle!
Built for Speed, Not Just Defense
While one might look at Squirtle’s shell and think purely of protection, nature has designed it for aerodynamics as well. The shell’s rounded shape and the grooves on its surface help minimize resistance in the water. This allows the Pokémon to swim at high speeds with the grace of an aquatic dancer. When coloring these scenes, one might imagine the water rushing past that smooth surface as Squirtle darts through the waves.
A Name That Says It All
The name “Squirtle” is a clever artistic blend of “squirt” – referencing its ability to shoot water – and “turtle.” In Japanese, it is known as Zenigame, which translates to “pond turtle.” This dual identity serves as a reminder of its playful nature and its connection to the natural world. It begs the question: does this Squirtle look like it is ready to splash playfully in a pond, or is it preparing for a serious tournament battle?
The Legendary Squad
Long-time fans know that Squirtle isn’t always just a cute companion; sometimes, it’s the leader of the pack. The famous “Squirtle Squad” is known for their mischievous antics and their signature pointed sunglasses. This adds a layer of attitude and style to the character’s history. When artists encounter a Squirtle with a confident stance, they might wonder if this is the very leader who eventually befriended Ash Ketchum.
Coloring Tips for Your Squirtle Masterpiece
- Mastering the Aqua Hue: Squirtle is known for its distinct light-blue skin. To achieve depth, the artist suggests starting with a base layer of cyan or light blue. Then, use a slightly darker shade of teal or cerulean to shade the areas under the chin and arms. This creates a three-dimensional effect that makes the character pop off the page.
- The Texture of the Shell: The shell offers a wonderful contrast to the soft skin. It is typically a warm brown or orange on top with a pale yellow underbelly. Try using small, circular strokes with a colored pencil to mimic the hard, textured surface of the shell, giving it a rugged and durable appearance compared to the smooth skin.
- Creating Water Effects: Many of these pages feature Squirtle using water attacks. To make the water look realistic, leave some white spaces in the splash zones to represent the reflection of light on the droplets. Blend light blues into darker blues at the edges of the water stream to convey movement and fluidity.
