Prepare sketch paper and blue marker, and draw the outline of the bowl on the paper with simple lines. Use rich dots, lines and noodles to add patterns with different densities to this bowl of porridge. A bowl of Laba porridge needs simple color blocks to express the shapes and colors of different grains.

Choose a watercolor pen with appropriate color to fill the gap between particles and reflect the color block of porridge. You can also use the superposition of colors on the particle color blocks to reflect the change of color depth and make the colors richer. Finally, use a high-gloss pen to add highlights to the appropriate position to reflect the luster of the porridge.

December is also called the twelfth lunar month, so the eighth day of December is called Laba. As the saying goes, "After Laba is the Spring Festival", which means that after the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Spring Festival is coming soon. Many places have started smoking bacon, buying firecrackers and making new clothes to prepare for the arrival of the New Year. Laba Festival is the biggest festival in the twelfth lunar month, and one of the most important customs is to drink Laba porridge.

Laba porridge, also known as "Qibao Wuwei porridge", "Buddha porridge" and "Everyone's rice", is a kind of porridge made of traditional ingredients such as rice, millet, corn, coix seed, red dates, lotus seeds, peanuts, longan and various beans. The custom of drinking Laba porridge on Laba Festival comes from Buddhist legend, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
