Ursula isnt too up front about the terms though, and it ends up creating a lot of conflict.
This Ariel coloring sheet shows the moment that Ursular grants Ariel her legs.
Will you use the same colors from the film or will you use some unique colors of your own?
This adorable next page shows Ariel hanging out with her fish friend Flounder and the lovable crab Sebastian.
Its a really great scene that gives you many details to color.
You could spend a lot of time on this one and come up with something really eye-catching.
In the film, Ariel is known for her luscious bright red hair.
Either approach works, so go with what feels right!
Its time for a close-up on Ariel on this page.
Coloring these kinds of small details with larger mediums like crayons or big paint brushes can be tricky.
Thats why I would probably go for some colored pens or pencils for this page.
How amazing are all of the details on this next Ariel coloring printable!
There are so many details not just on Ariel but also the background details.
It looks incredible, and there are so many ways to add color to the scene.
The different art mediums that you might use will make a big difference.
If you want some bright colors, then you could use colored pens or acrylic paint.
For lighter colors, I like to use watercolor paint or colored pencils.
These are a few of the mediums you could use, but what will you choose for these details?
This page captures the elegance of Ariel in her human dress.
You could start by drawing some additional details to add color to as well.
This opens up some opportunities for you, as you could build a scene around this.
The first way that you could do this would be to draw a background setting.
She could be dancing underwater, or she could be in a grand dance hall.
Next up, Ariel is once again looking fancy, as if she is heading to a grand event.
Adding some fish or other mermaids would help to add some life to this page.
You could add characters from the films or even create some unique ones of your own.
Doing so will make a page that is totally unique to you!
What kind of scene would you like to create for this page?
Ariel is surrounded by starfish and jellyfish on this delightful page.
For the starfish, you could sprinkle some glitter over light layers of glue to add some sparklines.
That would add some extra magic to the scene!
Using stickers, beads and other crafts can be fantastic for some unusual colors as well.
Feel free to look through your art supplies and use some that may be considered unusual or unconventional!
When coloring flowing, long hair, using certain art mediums will make it easier.
For example, using paint for hair is always a great option.
Keeping your brushstrokes long and flowing will help to create a sense of movement for the hair.
We have something a bit more unusual for this next page.
Ariel has been drawn in a slightly different style to the ones we have seen so far.
If I was coloring this page, I would use some bright and vibrant colors.
I feel that would be perfect for the more exaggerated style of this interpretation.
What kind of approach would you like to take for this unusual take on Ariel?
Heres an interesting take on Ariel, especially if you look a bit closer.
At first glance, it looks like Ariel is in a dress, probably in her human form.
If you look closer, you will see her mermaid tail poking out the base, however.
This shows that she must be wearing this fancy outfit under the sea.
What sort of event do you think she could be attending?
You could show off your ideas by drawing a background for the page.
That would also allow you to use even more colors!
Of course, you could go for a more unified color scheme if you prefer.
Its up to you, so what do you think would work best for this page?
Ariel is a really beautiful and elegant character, and this page really captures that.
Because of the composition, I think that some subtle, pretty colors would work best for this page.
Because of that, I would probably personally go for some colored pencils or watercolor paint.
That would give the colors a lovely subtle, gentle feel.
Now you could show what you think would best suit this drawing style.
It really depicts a particularly perfect day under the ocean!
Flounder or Sebastian would be great choices that would be easy to add.
If there are any other characters that you think would work, then you could certainly add them!
