Draw a small picture of butterflies falling in love with flowers. The author pays attention to the change of color depth and the contrast of warm and cold colors in halo dyeing. The color is pure and elegant, beautiful and not vulgar. On the line tracing, we should pay attention to expressing different quality images with different lines. The threads of flowers are thin, strong and smooth to show their beautiful appearance. The lines of the stone are mostly square folded with a pen, which can be cut at will to show its solidity and steadiness. The author has a rigorous and serious attitude and a variety of expression methods in his creation, which makes the fan page of this sketch not lose its dignified and atmospheric aesthetic tension
