Colored pencils are ideal for detailing the bamboo segments and creating soft textures on the stone and water. Fine-tip markers can define the outlines of the plants. Water-based brush pens work well for smooth coverage on larger leaf areas and blending greens.
Start with the largest plant leaves using light, even pressure. Use simple color schemes for a harmonious look, focusing on greens and browns. Work from the background elements forward to avoid smudging. Take short breaks to maintain focus and prevent hand fatigue.
Use layering to create realistic depth in the bamboo segments, applying darker shades in recessed areas. Practice soft blending for the water ripples. Experiment with stippling or cross-hatching to add texture to the stone basin and mossy areas. Consider subtle highlights on plant leaves.
