• I imagine this cactus as if it were alive, growing larger every day, and greeting its owner by saying, "Hey, how are you doing today?"

• On this occasion, I will draw a cactus. The tools used for the drawing are very simple:

1. A blue-ink pen (0.5 mm tip)
2. A sheet of A6 white paper.

• In the initial stage, I created a sketch of a vase and a cactus.

• Next, we draw long lines following the height of the cactus.

• Next, we create sharp spines on each line of the cactus by forming an 'X' shape.

• Next, create light shading by tilting the pen as much as possible to produce curved shading on the vase and cactus.

• Next, the final stage involves adding small stones to the vase and cactus, and refining the outlines of the cactus drawing.

and here are the results
