Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Layering Greens - Use several shades of green for the leaves, layering lighter tones over darker ones to create depth and realism, especially where light hits the foliage.
2. 2🖍️ Ripe Fruit Glow - For the ripe star fruits, blend yellows and light greens, adding touches of golden orange or even a hint of red on the edges to show ripeness and a subtle glow.
3. 3✨ Slice Detailing - Focus on the sliced fruit. Use lighter yellows or almost white for the inner flesh and slightly darker, translucent greens for the outer edges of the star, emphasizing the unique cross-section.
4. 4🌈 Shadow Play - Observe where shadows would naturally fall under leaves and fruits. Use muted purples, blues, or darker greens in these areas to add dimension and make the entire scene pop.
