FAQs

   - Use lime green for highlights and black or dark green for shadows. Practice blending the colors to create a gradual transition.

3. What can I use instead of foam for muscle attachments?
   - You can use cardboard, fabric, or papier-mâché. However, foam is the most lightweight and flexible material.
