Enchanting Mermaid's Coral Garden Portrait

Fun Fact

Did you know that coral reefs are often called the 'rainforests of the sea' because they are home to more than 25% of all marine fish species, even though they cover less than 0.1% of the ocean surface?

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 **Scale Shading** - Use varying shades of one color, or blend complementary colors, to give the mermaid's intricate scales a shimmering, three-dimensional effect.
2. 2🖍️ **Flowing Hair** - Experiment with light and shadow in the mermaid's long, wavy hair to show movement as if it's drifting in the water. Try blending blues, greens, or even purples for a magical touch.
3. 3✨ **Luminous Fish** - Make the exotic fish truly glow by using bright, contrasting colors and adding tiny white highlights after coloring to simulate light reflecting off them.
4. 4🌈 **Coral Complexity** - The coral reef is vibrant and realistic! Use a wide spectrum of colors – reds, oranges, yellows, purples, and blues – to bring out the diverse textures and shapes of the coral and ancient ruins.
