Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Textured Fur - Use short, delicate strokes with shades of brown, gray, and white to create realistic fur texture for the mouse. Don't forget its pink nose and inner ears!
2. 2🖍️ Vibrant Greens - Experiment with different shades of green for the chive stalks, adding lighter greens for highlights and darker greens for shadows to give them depth.
3. 3✨ Petal Perfection - For the chive flowers, use various purples and lavenders, blending them softly to show the delicate petals. A touch of yellow in the center can make them pop!
4. 4🌈 Tiny Details - Pay close attention to the small beetle! Choose rich colors like metallic greens, browns, or reds for its shell, and add tiny highlights to make it shimmer.
