Otter Family beside the Riverbank

Four otters stand along a shallow river, with two adults on the left and two smaller pups near the water. Their wet brown fur catches narrow highlights, while reeds rise behind the bank and rounded stones fill the foreground. The river carries the scene towards a green wooded ridge and cloudy mountain air.

Start with the pale muzzles and whiskers, then keep each body separate by its size and stance. The adults have darker broad shapes, while the pups make smaller groups near the ripples. Smooth stones offer different outlines even when their colors repeat. Reeds create a vertical edge against the quieter water. Build the forest and mountain distance last, where softened greens need the river to anchor them.
