Autumn's Abundant Harvest: A Squirrel's Delight

Fun Fact

Did you know that pumpkins and gourds are actually fruits, not vegetables? They are part of the squash family and contain seeds, which is the botanical definition of a fruit!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Layered Textures - Use multiple shades of oranges, browns, and greens to create realistic textures for each pumpkin and gourd, showing their unique bumps and ridges.
2. 2🖍️ Shading for Depth - Apply darker tones in shadowed areas, like where pumpkins overlap or beneath leaves, to give your harvest display incredible three-dimensional depth.
3. 3✨ Leafy Details - Experiment with a spectrum of reds, yellows, and browns for the fallen leaves, adding small veins and subtle color variations to make them look authentic.
4. 4🌈 Squirrel's Fur - Use short, feathery strokes with browns, grays, and a touch of white to mimic the soft, bushy texture of the squirrel's fur, making it look cozy and real.
