What's In This Picture

You will find a cheerful mermaid with a big smile sitting at a neatly set table. On the table, there is a large plate filled with various types of sushi rolls. She is holding a pair of chopsticks and has already picked up a piece of food to eat. There is also a small bowl, perhaps for some soy sauce or ginger, resting nearby. Her tail is tucked under the table, and her long hair flows gracefully behind her as she prepares for her meal.

The lines are clear and easy to follow, making it simple to distinguish between the rice, the seaweed wraps, and the mermaid herself. The table is simple and sturdy, providing a great surface for her underwater feast.

Coloring Tips

For the mermaid, try using bright shades like teal or purple for her tail. Her hair could be a vibrant coral pink or a sunny yellow. When coloring the sushi, use dark green for the seaweed wraps and a soft peach or orange for the fish. Since the background is simple, you could add light blue bubbles or wavy lines to show she is deep underwater.

Using colored pencils will help you get into the smaller details of the chopsticks and the individual rice grains on the sushi rolls. You can even add a bit of glitter glue to her tail to make it look like it is sparkling under the water. Don't forget to color the bowl a contrasting color like deep red or navy blue to make it stand out on the table.

Did You Know?

Did you know that sushi actually started as a way to preserve fish? Long ago, people in Asia used fermented rice to keep fish fresh. Today, sushi is loved all over the world and comes in many different shapes and sizes, just like the ones our mermaid friend is eating. Some people even make sushi that looks like animals!

Try This!

After you finish coloring, you can draw more underwater friends like a crab or a seahorse joining her for dinner. You could also try to draw your favorite food on a new plate next to her. Maybe she would like a slice of seaweed cake for dessert once she finishes her meal. You can even give the mermaid a name and write it at the top of the page.
