Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Grilled Goodness - Use shades of brown and a touch of charcoal grey for the hotdog to show it's perfectly grilled, perhaps with some darker grill marks.
2. 2🖍️ Condiment Creativity - Make the mustard a vibrant yellow and the ketchup a rich, glossy red. You can even try blending a lighter shade at the top of the swirls for a shiny effect.
3. 3✨ Blanket Basics - Choose two contrasting colors for the checkered picnic blanket, like classic red and white or blue and white. Pay attention to making your lines crisp and straight for a neat pattern.
4. 4🌈 Basket Weave - For the wicker basket, use varying shades of light brown, tan, and cream to give it a realistic, textured woven appearance. Don't forget shadows where the weave overlaps!
