This scene depicts two creatures: Gena, the larger one, and Cheburashka, the smaller one. Gena is holding a basket filled with colourful flowers as Cheburashka looks up to him with a wide, cheerful grin on their face. To add some life to the picture and bring out the characters' personalities, I would choose a bright colour to paint the background, such as a sunny yellow or a vivid sky blue. The main characters should be coloured in warm honey hues, while their accessories and items should be painted in various shades of red and pink to emphasise the sweet, whimsical setting. To capture the playful atmosphere, use lighter shades of gold and brown to colour the hair of Gena and Cheburashka; these colours will give the characters an exciting, animated look. Lastly, fill in the basket of flowers with cheerful purples and greens, to set off the scenery and complete this whimsical picture.
