Q1) What is the difference between painting and drawing?
If a person uses a colored pencil, do we have to say, "He is drawing a picture with a colored pencils. or He is painting a picture with a colored pencil." ? Drawing is usually done with pencil, pen, charcoal -- something that produces a line and can be used for shading, too. Painting is done with oil paints, acrylic paints, watercolors.

Scroll down a bit to the Britannica Concise Encyclopedia entry for discussion (and links) about the different media in which painting is done.
Q2) Is he writing a bule gel ink pen?
(Is this expression correct? Do people use gel ink pens when they write?)
You need to say, "Is he writing with a blue pen?" You can add "gel" if you wish, but you don't need to add "ink" since that's what a pen does -- makes lines with ink.
Q3) Will you name writing materials which people use frequently when they draw or paint a picture?
colored pencils, colored pens, fountain pens,.................
Those are correct; you can also add charcoal, brushes, palette knife ( http://www.answers.com/topic/palette-knife ), paint rollers, and others.
Other tutors may have more to add.
