Digital art_2020. Lotuses Hi friends! This is another drawing from the series **"Magic flowers"** I have long wanted to draw lotuses. There is, perhaps, no more mysterious and magical flower than they! And when I bought **Realistic Paint Studio,** I realized that the time has come to implement my long-term plan!

So, I create a new project and see next window, when can choose a painting style. I choose **"Drawing".**

Then I need choose a kind of canvas

Here you can choose other color for canvas - with arrows at the bottom

I choose usual white canvas

and slate pencil for sketches (*marked with a red circle*)

To open tool box you need select an icon on the top

or touch a tool out the box set

So... I find a beautiful photo of lotuses I'll draw and making a sketch https://i.pinimg.com/564x/4a/e0/69/4ae0693b79ce6dd8d0e454ddc4e365ea.jpg

Then I create a new layer to add color on drawing

For painting I choose a set of soft pastel

With two buttons you can choose another color set

Painting looking on colors in reference

So you can choose a color of tool with color palette circle (as in Photoshop or Corel Painter) in top right angle.

Or use **Eyedropper** (*with* ***ALT*** *button on keyboard*) This is what the preliminary painting of flowers looks like.

Then I add two new layer below the flowers - for the leaves and base background.

In this step I use a Shading set tools to make a leaves more blurring

Background is ready

So I choose a soft Pastel set again to continue drawing flowers Then I blur the hard strokes with Shading set tools too.

Note - at any time, if you need to leave drawing, you can save the project by clicking on this button in the upper left corner

and so you can open the project in that step where you stopped last time

So, for make a details I choose a Color Pencil set

And drawing with them on new top layer

The ready art

And that's not all! The program provides the ability to save a drawing, export it to .jpg or .png format...

or create a spectacular presentation (*by clicking on top middle button*)

...and keep your work that way

or that
