Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
When I was bored in class, I used to draw a picture of my favorite cartoon character.
In my free time, I like to draw a picture of nature scenes because it helps me relax and express my creativity.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: She drew a picture with pen.
Say: She drew a picture in pen.
'In pen / in pencil' (or 'with a pen' — with the article).
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
'Rendered an illustration' is stiff; children just 'draw a picture'.
