Chinese painting leaves have many techniques to express. Such as large freehand brushwork, small freehand brushwork, meticulous brushwork, semi-meticulous brushwork and so on. If meticulous brushwork is used, generally speaking, Ye Jin's pen, Gou Xianbi (123rd), sketch pen, etc. Can be used for line drawing, large, medium and small white clouds can be used for rendering.
Personal habits are different. Generally speaking, you should have a medium-long peak. Use a large pen or bucket pen for the big picture and a smaller one for the small picture.
So the lotus leaf is a little soft with a brush stroke.
