Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Shell Textures - Use a mix of light browns, tans, and golden yellows for the crispy hard shell. Vary your pressure to create the illusion of its textured, fried surface.
2. 2🖍️ Ingredient Layers - Capture the vibrancy of each filling! Use bright greens for the lettuce, rich reds for the diced tomatoes, and creamy yellows for the cheese. Don't forget the savory, darker browns for the seasoned ground beef.
3. 3✨ Shadows and Highlights - Pay close attention to the light source. Use darker shades of your chosen colors to create realistic shadows, especially under the taco and between ingredients. Leave small areas untouched or use very light colors for highlights to make textures pop.
4. 4🌈 Rustic Board & Lime - For the wooden board, blend various shades of brown and gray to give it an aged, natural look. Add a splash of bright, zesty green for the lime wedge to make it truly fresh and inviting!
