A baby panda clutches a bamboo stalk while sitting among tall bamboo leaves. Medium — great for kids.
Bamboo sets the palette here: use fresh spring green for the tall leaves, yellow-green for the stalk the panda clutches, and a slightly darker green for the stalk joints. Against all that green, the panda should stay crisp black and white, so its round white face and dark eye patches stand out clearly and draw your eye straight to the center.
Color the leaves in two greens, alternating lighter and darker leaves so the background does not become one flat wall. For the stalk, add thin darker green lines along its length to suggest its segmented sections. Keep the panda’s fur smooth and simple by contrast, using steady fills, so the busy bamboo makes the sitting figure look calm and centered.
