Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Shine & Polish - Use different shades of brown or metallic colors like gold and silver, adding small white highlights to show the polished sheen of the drum's shell.
2. 2🖍️ Texture Time - For the drumhead, try light grays or off-whites, using tiny dots or swirls to suggest the stretched texture, making it look ready for a beat.
3. 3✨ Mechanical Magic - The drum pedal has many small parts! Use varying shades of gray, black, and silver to define each lever, spring, and footplate, making it look realistic and functional.
4. 4🌈 Curtain Call - The velvet curtain in the background is a chance to experiment with deep, rich colors like maroon, royal blue, or forest green. Use darker shades in the folds to create depth and a luxurious feel.
