Color the Metroid Drawing
For Samus Aran, color the helmet and chest armor red. Use light gray for the ventilation pipes and light green for the visor. Shade the arm cannon with darker shades of green. Now, use black for the inner suit on her elbows and pelvis. Then, color the torso yellow, and use shades of orange for the armor panels on her shoulders, arms, and legs. For the Metroid larva, use light blue for the membrane, red for the base of its body, and cream for the fangs.
