Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Layering Greens - Use several shades of green for the chive stalks to create depth and realism. Try light green for highlights and darker greens for shadows.
2. 2🖍️ Tiny Details - The ladybug's spots and the bee's fuzzy body are perfect for small, precise coloring. Use a fine-tipped pencil for these intricate areas.
3. 3✨ Flowering Purple - Chive flowers are often a lovely lavender or deep purple. Experiment with blending different purples and even a touch of pink for a vibrant bloom.
4. 4🌈 Background Bliss - Softly sketch the background garden elements with muted greens and browns. This will make the chives and insects pop, creating a serene garden atmosphere.
