Colored pencils are excellent for detailed areas on the duck and lily pad veins, allowing for smooth blending. Fine-tip markers can add crispness to the lily pad edges and flower details. Watercolor pencils offer soft, blended effects for the water.
Start by coloring the largest areas like the water with light, even strokes. Use a lighter shade for the duck's body and a slightly darker shade for its head. Focus on staying within the lines for the lily pads.
Use directional strokes on the duck's body to simulate feather texture. Employ subtle gradients on lily pads for depth, and use reflected light techniques on the water's surface. Experiment with outlining details using a fine-tip pen after coloring.

A majestic duck glides gracefully across calm water, its body partially submerged, revealing only its back and head. Its beak points slightly downward, perhaps investigating the water's surface. Webbed feet are subtly hinted at beneath the surface, creating gentle ripples that extend outward. Several broad, rounded lily pads float around the duck, varying in size, with some partially overlapping. A few lily flowers, distinct with their layered petals and prominent centers, emerge from among the pads. Distant, soft outlines of reeds or tall grass border the water's edge in the background.
