Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Dough's Texture - Use light, soft colors like cream, pale yellow, or off-white for the noodle dough. Add very subtle shading to show its curves and elasticity.
2. 2🖍️ Warm Wood Tones - Color the wooden surface with various shades of brown, like light oak or honey. You can add tiny wood grain lines for a realistic touch.
3. 3✨ Flour Dust - Imagine delicate flour dust on the hands and surface. Use a very light gray or white pencil to gently smudge or highlight these areas, making them look soft and powdery.
4. 4🌈 Cozy Background - For the subtle background elements like the rolling pin or flour sack, choose muted, earthy tones that don't distract from the main action, like soft blues, greens, or grays.
