approach — 8 steps

step 01
Lightly sketch the overall composition, focusing on the placement and size of the lily pads.
step 02
Begin adding details to the lily pads, including the radial lines and any imperfections.
step 03
Use hatching and cross-hatching to build up the values on the lily pads, paying attention to the light source.
step 04
Add details to the water, using horizontal lines to suggest the surface and reflections.
step 05
Create the surrounding vegetation with scribbled lines and varying densities to indicate depth.
step 06
Refine the details and values, adding darker areas for shadows and lighter areas for highlights.
step 07
Check the overall composition and make any necessary adjustments.
step 08
Add final details and ensure the balance of light and dark is achieved.
