Dolphin at Sunset Colored Pencil Drawing

This is an original representational drawing of a dolphin leaping over sea waves against a sunset backdrop, executed on a spiral-bound sketchpad. The medium appears to be colored pencil applied with varying pressure to achieve a textured, waxy finish. The composition features a central grey and black dolphin mid-air, with a sky rendered in horizontal strokes of deep orange, red, and yellow. The sea is depicted in shades of blue and teal, featuring a yellow reflection of the sun on the water's surface and white foam at the base where the dolphin has emerged. The artwork is physically part of a multi-sheet sketchbook, showing the perforated top edge and a metal spiral binding. No artist signature or date is immediately visible in the image. The condition appears to be that of an active student or hobbyist work; the paper shows slight curling at the bottom right corner, a minor greenish smudge on the lower white section, and the upper pages are folded back roughly. The style is contemporary realism with a focus on color blending and animal anatomy, likely dating from the 21st century. The craftsmanship shows careful attention to the dolphin's musculature and lighting gradients on its skin.
