Loose rice, noodles, etc. They have no "fixed shape". Pay attention to the "sense of randomness" when painting. Even if we draw the artificial state of "rice balls and dough", there will be subtle flaws. In addition, the ingredients with loose texture cannot be drawn one by one, and the painting method of "combination of reality and reality" should be used. When the whole structure is completed, the surface of the block can be blurred, and then a small amount of specific particles can be added to describe it, which can reflect the corresponding texture.
