"I drew a picture with colored pencils."

Translation: 色鉛筆で絵を描きました。

[Lunaeia]

絵をいろえんぴつで書きました

Should also be correct.

[martin.mk]

Except the kanji for "kaku" when drawing is different than the kanji for writing.

The correct kanji would be 描く

[saomaximino]

The object mark particule commonly is the last. いろえんぴつでえをかきました。

[Goasts]

The word ordering in Japanese is more free because grammatical meaning is imparted by the particles and not the placement of the word in the sentence.

[Lunaeia]

It's more common to do it in the way you posted, but it doesn't mean my sentence incorrect. I hear the format on a daily basis.

[Dattosan]

The sound of the 描き　is wrong. it sounds でがき

[AlanMooney1]

You're right! I also hear dekaki which is wrong. We should report this.

[Brian495079]

Yeah wanna get all the nouns out of the way at the beginning of sentences

[kuyaC]

kaki or egaki?

[AlanS.6]

Shouldn't 「絵を色えんぴつで描きました」 also be accepted?

[GregS5]

Why is the "e" there after the "de"?

[Allamarth]

That's the word "picture"

[Dot844345]

It's the hiragana for the word picture

[Gonzalo562591]

"de" is qualifying "iroenpitsu", while "e" = drawing, which is what is being drawn, so it carries de "wo" particle after it.

[ChristophP89013]

Why isn't this app using "描きます" for "to draw" I get that "書きます" is a catch all for them but com'on

[JoshGabrie2]

色鉛筆で絵を描きました。

[krislalev]

Why is で used here instead of に？

[John863934]

で means with. Why would you draw to a pencil?

[toastedbunz]

Where the hell did all this kanji "that doesn't have audio" come from??!
