The first step: pencil draft, mechanical pencil; first use tape to frame the drawing paper to avoid water swelling and wrinkles, making it difficult for us to color. Use a mechanical pencil to draw a wind chime floating in the wind in the upper left corner of the picture. The wind chime consists of two parts: one is the glass wind chime cover, and the other is the ribbon floating in the wind. (Pay attention to the curvature of the ribbon when it floats.) Draw a few willow branches flying in the wind on the right side of the wind chime, let two of the willow branches intersect, and then follow the curvature of the willow branches to draw willow leaves on it, pay attention Space between willow leaves.
Step 2: Leave white space and white space glue; keep the picture dry, use white space glue and dip a small amount of white space glue to leave white space for the highlights of the wind chime.
Step 3: Background, lake blue paint, yellow paint; use a large watercolor pen to quickly wet the picture, then use a small amount of blue paint and a large amount of water to create a light background Color, and then quickly color the background while the picture is not completely dry. Before the lake blue background is completely dry, add a small amount of water to the yellow pigment to mix it, and then color the background near the willow branches. Because the blue pigment is not completely dry, it blends with the yellow pigment to form a light yellow-green color. .
Step 4: Willow leaves, tree green pigment; add a small amount of water to the green pigment to create a lighter base color, and then use a small watercolor pen to paint each willow leaf along the trend of the willow leaves. Color, be careful not to exceed the edge line.
Step 5: Add more willow leaves and tree green pigment; add a small amount of tree green pigment based on the previous color to make the color darker, and then use a small watercolor pen to add color to each willow leaf. Color the upper part, and then use a clear water pen to transfer the color to the lighter part to make the color of each willow leaf more natural.
Step 6: Wind chime. Lake blue paint; first erase the white glue with an eraser, then use an outline pen dipped in a small amount of black paint to draw the wind chime line. Then add a small amount of water with blue paint to mix the color of the wind chime. You can test whether the color is suitable on the rest of the paper. Quickly apply a layer of background color to the wind chime, paying attention to the white space of the edge highlights. While the color is not completely dry, quickly draw decorative patterns on the wind chime.
Use lake blue paint and add a large amount of water to make a light blue ribbon color, then use a small watercolor pen to color the left half of the ribbon, and then use a clear water pen to add color Transition to the entire ribbon so that the color of the ribbon appears fresher.
