Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Root Realism - Use muted browns, grays, and earthy tones for the fibrous roots, adding tiny lines to show their delicate texture as they anchor the plant.
2. 2🖍️ Leafy Layers - Vary shades of green for the slender leaves. Use lighter greens where sunlight might hit and darker greens for shaded areas to create depth and realism.
3. 3✨ Grainy Details - For the ripe grains, use soft yellows, light browns, or even a hint of pale gold. Remember to color each tiny grain individually, highlighting their clustered appearance.
4. 4🌈 Textural Touches - Focus on adding fine lines and small strokes to mimic the natural textures of the stalks and husks, bringing a realistic, scientific study feel to your artwork.
