Color choices

This mermaid tosses a ball back and forth with an octopus floating nearby. Give her tail a bold color, then pick purple or red for the octopus’s curling arms. Color the ball in a bright pattern, and shade the seaweed and small flowers around them in fresh greens and warm accents. Leave a few bubbles pale as they rise between the mermaid and the octopus.

Color the mermaid and octopus

Color the mermaid’s hair and tail first, then use a different shade for the octopus’s body and tentacles.
