Steps to draw plum blossoms:

The first step is to expand business. Dip the pen in light ink first, then dry it at the edge of the plate, then dip it in deep ink, and draw the front branch with the center. When you start writing, draw from the center to the lower end of the branch and gradually turn to the side. Be sure to note that the branches are left blank and disconnected during writing, so as to fill in the flowers.

The second step is to circle the flowers with light ink. Pay attention to the gathering and scattering of flowers and the positive expression. Flowers and branches need to be repeated alternately. Draw the main branch, decide the overall situation, draw some side branches, and then start drawing flowers. When the flowers are almost finished, insert branches into the flowers, make up some flowers or add some twigs. This will be done alternately, step by step, and the steps cannot be completely separated.

The third step is to use cinnabar for plum blossoms and touch some rouge on the tip of the pen to increase the level and depth of the flowers.

Handle the flower heart, remove the flower beard, point the flower head and point the pedicel. Use a bald pen, preferably coarse ink from the center. The front and back of flowers are often displayed through snacks.
