Coloring tips for this pirate ship

Use one brown for the hull and a lighter tan for the deck so the ship parts stay easy to read.
Make the skull flag stand out with black and white, then add a small gold touch on trim or ship edges.
Color the giant octopus in purple or red-violet, and use a lighter pink on the suckers to separate the curled tentacles.
Try two blues in the waves, with a little white space left for foam around the ship and tentacles.
If you use markers on the sails, finish the rigging and mast with coloring pencils or fine-liner for cleaner thin lines.
