Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Layered Noodles - Use light browns, yellows, and creams as a base for the noodles, then add darker shades and shadows to show the depth and individual strands of the intricate coils.
2. 2🖍️ Herb Highlights - For the delicate herbs like rosemary or basil, use several shades of green. Start with a lighter green, then add darker greens for shadows and texture, making each tiny leaf pop.
3. 3✨ Textured Surfaces - Pay close attention to the wooden surface! Use varying shades of brown and tan, drawing short lines or dots to mimic realistic wood grain. Remember to add subtle shadows under the bowl for depth.
4. 4🌈 Ceramic Shine - Give the ceramic bowl a realistic look by leaving small areas uncolored or using very light grey/white to suggest a shine or reflection, especially on the rim and curved surfaces.
