Sushi Masterpiece in the Making

Fun Fact

Did you know that sushi actually refers to the vinegared rice, not necessarily the fish? The word 'sushi' means 'sour-tasting' and refers to the rice seasoned with vinegar, sugar, and salt, which is then combined with various ingredients like seafood or vegetables.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 **Rice Grains** - Use a very light grey or off-white for the individual rice grains to make them stand out against the darker nori. Add tiny dots of darker grey for subtle shadow.
2. 2🖍️ **Fresh Ingredients** - Give the fish vibrant colors like rich orange for salmon or pale pink for tuna. Use bright green for cucumber and avocado, and a deep, dark green for the nori seaweed.
3. 3✨ **Tool Textures** - Think about the bamboo rolling mat; use varying shades of light brown and yellow for its woven texture. The knife handle could be a dark wood or clean plastic.
4. 4🌈 **Chef's Hands** - Choose a natural skin tone that feels realistic. Add subtle shading to show the contours of the fingers and the gentle grip on the ingredients, making them look lifelike.
