Coloring Tips

- Alternate shades of brown for mud to create a wet, textured look.
- Color the mud pies light brown, outline edges with dark brown, and leave the center blank for shine.
- For the eyes, start with white, add a black pupil, and finish with a yellow highlight.
- Use gray for the claws' base, then dark gray at the tips for a hard nail effect.
