The Long-finned pilot whale is known for its sleek black body and distinctive long fins, while Risso's dolphin is recognized by its pale grey skin and scarred appearance. Both species are highly intelligent and social animals that inhabit the world's oceans.

Each stroke of color adds depth and vibrancy to these marine mammals, making them appear almost lifelike on paper.
