Use colored pencils to draw a simple illustration:

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.

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 earthy yellow. Create gradient and transition effects on colors. Make the picture more beautiful. Finally, use an eraser to erase the remaining lines and embellish them. The beautiful peony pen pastel painting is now in front of your eyes.
