Bright Blue Tang Colouring Page

Meet this bright blue tang, a lively reef fish with a deep oval body, a small pointed snout, long flowing fins and a wide fan-shaped tail. The large curved marking on its side helps make this ocean character easy to recognise, while the bold outlines and open spaces are perfect for young artists. Colour the main body royal blue, turquoise or sky blue, then make the curved side marking navy, dark purple or deep blue. A classic blue tang has a sunny yellow tail, and you can repeat that yellow on the small side fin or along the tips of the upper and lower fins. Use smooth strokes that follow the round body from head to tail, and short radiating strokes inside each fin. Add a slightly darker blue near the top and bottom edges while keeping the centre bright. The eye can be dark brown or black with its tiny highlight left white, and the smiling mouth can be soft pink. Colour the seaweed green, teal or olive, the coral peach, pink or red, and the sandy seabed warm beige. The rounded rocks can be grey, tan or lavender, while the bubbles look lovely in very pale blue with white highlights. Work carefully around the curved body marking and narrow tail base, then add gentle darker edges to make the fins stand out. This friendly blue tang is ready for a colourful journey through a calm coral reef.
