Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Flowing Hair Magic - Use a variety of blues, greens, or even purples for her long, flowing hair to give it a magical, underwater shimmer. Try blending colors for a soft gradient effect.
2. 2🖍️ Shimmering Scales - Her detailed tail is perfect for metallic or glitter gel pens! Use different shades of one color, like teal, emerald, or sapphire, to highlight each scale and make it sparkle.
3. 3✨ Radiant Light - The sunbeam needs to glow! Use bright yellows and oranges, fading out to white, around the sunbeam. For the bubbles, use very light blues, purples, or clear glitter over white to show their transparency.
4. 4🌈 Ocean Depths - Create depth in the background by using darker blues and greens for the seaweed further away, and lighter, brighter shades for the seaweed closer to the mermaid. Don't forget subtle shadows!
