Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Wood Grain Wonders - Use various shades of brown and tan to highlight the intricate wood grain of the banjo and workbench. Try cross-hatching or stippling for realistic texture.
2. 2🖍️ Metallic Magic - Give the metal hardware (tuners, tailpiece) a shiny look with silver, gold, or even subtle blues and grays. Use a white crayon or gel pen for highlights to make them gleam.
3. 3✨ String Serenity - The banjo strings are delicate! Use a fine-tipped pen or colored pencil in black, gray, or a very light bronze to make them stand out without overpowering the wood.
4. 4🌈 Tool Texture - Pay attention to the tools in the background. A chisel might have a metallic blade and a wooden handle, while clamps could be aged metal, adding depth and realism to the scene.
