Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Asparagus Greens - Use varying shades of green, from light lime to deep forest, to give each spear depth and realism. Add lighter tips for freshness and a slight gradient.
2. 2🖍️ Wood Grain Details - For the rustic cutting board, use browns and tans. Vary the pressure and direction of your strokes to create the illusion of natural wood grain, adding shadows underneath the asparagus bundle.
3. 3✨ Tiny Chef Hats - Make the miniature chef hats pop with bright white or a very light cream. Consider adding a subtle hint of blue or grey for shadows to give them a three-dimensional, pleated look.
4. 4🌈 Curious Mouse Fur - Use soft grays, browns, or even a very light cream for the mouse's fur. Add tiny dots or short strokes for texture and use a darker shade for its eyes and nose to make it expressive and friendly.
