🎨 What colors suit a capybara?
The contrast between the capybara's calm brown and the bright orange is what makes this picture pop:
For the fur — the natural capybara color
For the orange slice — the eye-catcher of the picture
For the flesh of the orange
For a small leaf on the orange
💡 Coloring tip: Go bold and saturated on the orange — that strong contrast against the fur is exactly what makes the picture so fun.
