Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Wood Wonders - Use different shades of brown, ochre, and even a touch of red for the rich wooden bodies of the bongos. Try to follow the grain lines for a realistic texture.
2. 2🖍️ Sunny Glow - Imagine the sunlight streaming in! Use bright yellows and oranges for the highlights on the drums and floor, and soft, warm greys for the illuminated dust motes.
3. 3✨ Drumhead Details - The drumheads are made of taut hide. Use various shades of cream, tan, and light brown, adding subtle shadows to show their curved shape and texture.
4. 4🌈 Studio Ambiance - Don't forget the background! Give the leafy houseplant vibrant greens and use soft, muted tones for the studio walls and floor to make the bongos truly pop.
