The coloring method is to use maroon or rose-red colored pencils to darken the color from the root of the petals, and then gradually lighten the color at the edge, so that the color will have a gradient effect, with a strong three-dimensional sense and a sense of hierarchy. Then use dark green, light green, and lake blue colored pencils to color the leaves. The color is darker near the main stem. The roots of each leaf are dark green with a little blue, and the tips of the leaves are lightly painted with a little soil. Create gradient and transition effects on colors.

1. How to draw

1. Geometric sketch modeling training.

Start with geometric shapes such as cubes, circles, and combinations. Only by understanding geometric shapes can we simplify some complex things and draw them more easily. At the beginning stage, it is difficult for students to master the shape, proportion, and perspective of geometric objects, and it is easy for students to draw deformations. Therefore, they need a lot of practice and comparative study and modification between students.

2. Learning of simple drawings.

It is similar to comics and is relatively easy to master. During the teaching process, first, the teacher assigns students to draw a relatively simple character illustration, and in response to the problems that arise, they draw some facial features, heads, feet, and hands. information for students’ reference.

Secondly, during the painting process, students found that hands are a difficult part to draw. The teacher used structural knowledge to explain, and used picture appreciation and painting demonstrations to help students understand the structure of joints.

3. Sketch training. Use simple lines to make simple summary training of characters and scenes to enrich your own library information. After passing these basic trainings, if difficulties arise in figure drawing, especially background or expression content, the teacher will demonstrate and comment on them one by one. Students can understand and accept them more quickly, and solve the problems in the future. It is much easier when creating designs, thus laying a solid foundation for hand-drawn illustrations.

2. Materials

1. Hand-drawn pens: drawing pencils, mechanical pencils, syringe pens, and signature pens. These pens are the most commonly used tools when drawing the first draft of a design.

2. Drawing instruments: ruler, T-square, curve ruler, tape measure, magnifying ruler, scale rule, set square, cutting ruler, universal plotter, large compass, etc. Tools used for drawing should be accurate, precise, and of high quality.
