Which Ariel and Ursula Scene Will You Choose?

Start with a portrait if you enjoy character details. Ursula’s face, hairstyle and curling tentacles give you a clear subject to work on. In the lipstick picture, the compact mirror and lipstick add smaller areas for careful coloring.

Choose an encounter if you prefer a picture with a story. Look at Ariel’s expression, Ursula’s gesture and the objects between them. Color those details first so the interaction stays easy to read.

Try the potion scene for a bolder palette. Make the bubbling mixture bright green, turquoise or pink, then choose quieter colors for the cauldron. The contrast draws attention to what Ursula is doing.

Not sure which picture to pick? Choose the one with the detail you most want to color—a face, a scroll or a curl of magic.

Color Ariel and Ursula With Contrasting Palettes

Ariel’s familiar red hair and green tail work well alongside Ursula’s purple skin and dark tentacles. Those contrasting colors help separate the characters when they share a scene.

Start with the largest areas, then move to faces, hands and accessories. Keep the document or scroll pale enough for its outlines to remain visible. Give the lipstick, mirror or stamp a distinct color so each small object stands out.

You can also create your own version. Try a blue-and-purple sea witch palette or give the magical shapes a bright golden accent. Choose colors you enjoy; matching the animated film is optional.

Three Details That Make These Pictures Fun to Color

Curling Tentacles and Suckers

Follow the curves one section at a time. Use one shade for the tentacles and another for the suckers rather than coloring the whole area as a single block.

If you are using pencils, add a darker shade along selected edges. You can leave the rest flat and still create a clear, colorful picture.

Bubbling Potions and Magical Shapes

Choose your brightest color for the potion or spell. Repeat it in a few nearby details to connect the scene, while keeping the characters easy to distinguish.

Want to compare two ideas? Color one version with green magic and another with blue or pink. The drawing stays the same, but the mood changes.

Scrolls, Mirrors and Small Objects

Use fewer colors on small props. A pale scroll, a contrasting lipstick case and a lightly colored mirror can make the scene easier to follow than several competing patterns.

For the contract picture, focus on Ariel’s writing hand and the document before working on the surrounding details.

How to Print or Color Online

  1. Choose a picture from the gallery.
  2. Open its download or print option.
  3. Match the paper setting to A4 or US Letter.
  4. Check the preview and use “Fit to page” if needed to prevent cropping.

Crayons suit larger spaces, while colored pencils offer more control around hair, fingers and small objects. Put a spare sheet underneath if you use markers that may bleed through.

Pick one sketch, set out a few colors and begin with the largest shapes.

Test Your Colors Online

Open Color Online and select your design. Choose a color to fill an area, zoom in for smaller details and use undo when you want to try another shade.

Save the finished artwork as an image or export a PDF with A4 or US Letter settings. You can experiment on screen first, then print a version for your coloring folder.

Try the potion color first—or start with Ariel’s hair and build the palette around it.

Make a Finished Page Part of an Activity

Tell the next part of the story. After coloring an encounter, write a sentence about what happens next. What does Ariel ask? How does Ursula respond?

Compare two color moods. Give two people the same sketch. Use soft shades on one copy and stronger contrasts on the other, then compare the results.

Invent a potion name. Color the cauldron scene and write the name of your imaginary mixture on a separate card. Keep it as a story prompt beside the finished picture.

Build a growing display. Arrange a character portrait beside a story scene. Add another finished sketch whenever you return to the collection.

Want to revisit the story behind Ariel’s bargain? Read Disney’s overview of the original animated film on D23. After coloring, discuss what Ariel hopes to gain and what she agrees to give up.

For a real-ocean activity, explore octopuses, squid and their relatives with Smithsonian Ocean. Ursula is a fantasy character; compare her design with the arms and suckers of real sea animals, then draw a creature of your own.
