Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Rooted Detail - Use fine-tipped pencils or markers in shades of brown, tan, and cream to carefully color the intricate network of roots, adding subtle variations for depth.
2. 2🖍️ Earthy Textures - For the soil, experiment with different browns, grays, and even a touch of dark green to show rich, fertile earth. Try stippling or cross-hatching to create texture.
3. 3✨ Bulb Brilliance - The garlic bulb itself can range from white to purplish hues. Use light, overlapping strokes to build up color and show its segmented structure and papery skin.
4. 4🌈 Leafy Greens - Depict the tall, slender leaves with various shades of green, from light spring green to deeper forest green. Consider adding highlights where the sun would hit them.
