The first step: first draw two petals, a bit like a newly sprouted seedling.
Step 2: After drawing a petal in the middle, draw two petals on both sides.
Step 3: The same drawing method is used below. First draw two petals, and then add a smaller petal in the middle.
Step 4: Draw two arcs under the flower as the branches of the lotus.
Step 5: Next to the flower, draw a few more ovals with triangular gaps as lotus leaves.
Step 6: Use arcs to draw some water waves next to the branches, and add some texture details to the branches and petals.
Step 7: Finally, paint the painted lotus with a beautiful color.
