Octopus Tentacles Over Rocks Coloring Page

Massive tentacles wind through a rocky underwater landscape, each one covered with circular suction cup patterns that follow the curves from thick base to tapered tip in this printable coloring page. The rocks beneath have angular, geometric facets that create strong contrast against the organic flowing forms of the octopus limbs. Strands of seaweed sprout from the crevices, adding vertical movement to the horizontal sweep of the tentacles. The suction cups create a natural opportunity for repetitive circular shading practice, while the rock faces need darker tones in their corners and edges to show dimension. Try gradating the tentacles from deep purples and reds near the body to lighter pinks at the tips, and use gray-blue combinations for the stone surfaces. The seaweed strands work best with varied green shades to separate them from both the octopus and the rocks.
