Digital art_2022. Half Moon Wreath Hi friends! I'm still inspired by Christmas themes - we still have a festive mood in the air and even Christmas trees are still standing in apartments. It was a task for an art contest - it was necessary to draw a **Winter Flower**. And what flower is more wintery than poinsettia?

Sketch in **Paint Tool SAI 2** I looked at many different types of Christmas wreaths and concluded that human imagination has no limits. I chose from different photos a few elements that I liked. For example, I liked the crescent-shaped wreath. As well as a house, Christmas trees, an owl and Christmas toys... Something like this I will draw

Choosing a base colors. I decided that I won’t have saturated objects here, everything will be in pastel light colors and in many shades of white

Chose a tint color of half moon

I decided to draw a blue wood door as a background for the wreath

Decor of wreath - a house and a fir-trees

And now the hardest part - decorating the wreath. Thuja branches and snowberry

My poinsettia will be light, but shimmer in different colors

I want to draw a purple shadows for green brunches (then I made it more transparent, on such an intense)

Adding another objects of decor: the owl in the roof and stars

Then I make a shining of stars (with blur of duplicate layer and change blend mode to **Dodge**) and drop shadow from wreath to the door (on new layer too with **Multiply** blend mode and 70% opacity)

It remains to make the poinsettia flower beautiful and recognizable

And hang a wreath on a ribbon

I also decided to increase the backlight of the flower to bring it to the fore. I did it with some colorful brush strokes on new layer and set blend mode **Pin Light**

Yes, maybe someone with this decoration on the door celebrated Christmas

I hope you'll like my idea) Thanks a lot for your attention to my drawing tutorials! Have a nice and creative day to all! With Love...
