Colored pencils are excellent for the intricate butterfly wing details and subtle shading on the lily petals. Water-based markers can provide smooth, even coverage for the pond. Fine-tip pens can be used for delicate outlines and small patterns.
Start by coloring the largest areas like the pond with light, even pressure. Use simple color schemes with 3-4 complementary colors. Work from the center outward to avoid smudging your work. Take short breaks to prevent hand fatigue.
Employ layered shading on the lily petals for depth and realism. Use cross-hatching or stippling techniques on the butterfly's wing patterns. Create reflections and subtle ripples on the pond surface using gradient blends. Add fine details to the lily's stamens and the butterfly's antennae.
