2. 2Color the wooden bench planks and the dock posts with light wood brown, then deepen the posts with warm brown.
3. 3Color the girl's hair warm brown, and her hoodie, sleeves and face cream, leaving the shoe soles and socks white. Use denim blue for the overalls and light denim blue for the straps, and sky blue for the pants cuffs.
4. 4Color the red panda's head, chest, tail top and ears rusty orange, its body and paws dark chocolate brown, the tail bands peach, and its muzzle cream, keeping the cheeks white.
5. 5Color the sneakers bubblegum pink, and leave the onigiri rice ball white with a small dark square for the seaweed band and the white eye shines.
