Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Shiny Shells - Use varying shades of brown, gold, or even metallic silver for the polished wooden shell to show its reflective surface and make it look truly grand.
2. 2🖍️ Textured Drumhead - Try light grays or off-whites for the drumhead, using small, gentle strokes to suggest its stretched texture without making it look flat.
3. 3✨ Intricate Pedal - Pay close attention to the drum pedal's small parts. Use dark grays, blacks, and a touch of silver for the metal components to make them stand out and show their mechanical detail.
4. 4🌈 Velvet Backstage - Color the background velvet curtain with deep, rich colors like burgundy, royal blue, or dark green, using softer shading to create a luxurious, dramatic feel for the stage.
