(1) The head of the dragonfly is round and large, the chest is full, the belly and tail are slender, and the wings are thin and transparent. First, use light ink to sketch the outline of the body and wings and the main wing veins, the lines should be clear, strong, vivid and natural. When drawing lines, pay attention to hook several main wing veins, and then add a fine net wing grain after coloring. When painting red dragonfly, the head, chest and abdomen are painted with vermilion flat once, and then dyed with dark red after drying. The eyes should be dyed round and have a sparkling feeling. The abdomen is stained with segments, and the tail sections are flat painted with dark red, only between segments dyed with vermilion, not dark red. The wings are lightly stained with garcinia and ochre along the main vein, and after drying, use light ink or light ochre to carefully hook out the reticular wing veins, and then use vermilion dots to draw wing moles.

(2) There are many varieties of butterflies, which can be generally divided into four categories: papilias, Neptis, Pinas, and grey butterflies. The focus of butterfly painting is on wings, and the texture of "thin", "velvet" and "pink" of butterfly wings should be emphasized.

Wet dyeing method: On the basis of the light ink line, the light ink is dyed along the direction of the wing vein (the markings are left blank). Dark black parts such as black butterfly hind wings, etc., can be stained with water color tooth black (remove glue). Tooth black does not glow after removing glue, deep black like velvet. Finally fill in the blank markings with the desired stone color. The head, chest, and abdomen are dyed in the same way as the wings.

Water halo method: Water halo method is to wet the parts that need to be dyed with clean water first, and then inject the color into the water, and the color uses the water to naturally ooze, producing the effect of velvet powder.

Dry rubbing method: Use a special brush to dip in the ink. Or dip in carbon powder, tobacco, color mud rub and fluffy powder a painting method.
