Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Metallic Machine - Use a range of grays, silvers, and even some bronze or copper tones to give the antique pasta machine a realistic, aged metal look. Don't forget highlights for shine!
2. 2🖍️ Dough Details - Color the fresh pasta dough in creamy yellows, light beige, or even a pale green for spinach pasta. Use subtle shading to show the layers and texture as it emerges.
3. 3✨ Realistic Hands - Pay attention to skin tones and gentle shadows on the child's hands to make them look three-dimensional and busy turning the crank. Observe how light hits the knuckles.
4. 4🌈 Pattern Play - Make the kitchen towel stand out with a vibrant pattern and colors. Consider adding a soft background element, like a kitchen counter or window, to complete the cozy scene.
