Mercury's Shadowed Peaks

Fun Fact

Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system and the closest to the Sun! Its surface is covered in countless craters, much like our Moon, formed by impacts from space rocks over billions of years.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Deep Shadows - Use dark grays, browns, and even hints of purple or blue in the deep shadow areas to create depth and mystery.
2. 2🖍️ Rocky Textures - Vary your pressure and use different shades of gray, brown, and even a touch of red or orange to make the rocky surface look ancient and textured.
3. 3✨ Distant Worlds - For Earth and the Moon in the background, use very light, subtle colors – a pale blue and white for Earth, and a soft gray for the Moon – to show they are far away.
4. 4🌈 Starry Sparkle - For the vast sky, use dark blues, purples, or black. Add tiny white or yellow dots with a fine-tipped pen or colored pencil for sparkling stars.
