Digital art_2019. Golden Lilies Hi friends! I continue my drawing series named **"Magic Flowers"** Today I tell and show you how I drew one of most beautiful july flowers - golden lillies I hope that a view of these joyful flowers will warm you a little if you are cold in winter.
I've always many flowers in my garden in summer, because I hadn't a reference to draw them Sketch in **Paint Tool SAI 2**
Color palette
Steps In version 2 of **SAI** you can fill an background with gradient.
Chose a color of lilies
Lilies have very beautiful petals - golden color turns into dark red I wanted to draw it as a real flowers (*even though I draw in the style of illustrations*) Yes, in this time I use a new brush
On this step I decided what color of background too light and I copy this layer & made it darken to selected shining petals of lilies.
Details
More deep shadows in the center of flowers
I assumed that the flowers are lit with diffuse light, so there are no harsh shadows.
Then I wanted to add a shine to edge of petals. I added a new layer, painted on it yellow in petal contours.
Blurred it with **Gaussian blur** filter
I replaced this layer under layer with lillies and changed blending mode to **Shine**
It turned out to be a beautiful soft glow
It seemed to me not enough, and I made a copy blurred layer, replace it above the layer with flowers and changed blending mode to **Hard Light**. This view is better!
I made a center shadow one more darken.
Finally I added a beautiful bokeh behind the flowers (on new layer) and changed blending mode on **Linear Light**
Some color correction and final sharpen in Photoshop. I's ready!
Thank you for your attention to my drawings! Even if you never pick up a pencil and an electronic pen, it doesn't matter... ;)) After all, inspirational things can be created in any area of life. I wish you've an Ocean of Inspiration for all occasions! Regards
