As we all know, Chinese peony is a very beautiful kind of flower, and it is very popular among the old and the young, for they always buy them to give others as a gift and a bless. But today, we will not to buy it at all. We will try to draw one for our dear. We will continue to focus on the mouse portrait and use other auxiliary skills to make the technique perfect. Here we will introduce two ways to draw the Chinese peony—- the black-and-white color and the colorful one. Here we go!
Make the colorful Chinese peony(the impression drawing is below)
1. Create a new layer with pink color. Draw a petal with lasso tool. Remember to draw the commonness of the flower in order to copy, then Pad white color.
2. Pad red color and apply the gradient tool, then execute the edge detect with white color of 1 pixel.
3. Then draw the turn-up part of the petal with the lasso tool, then pad white color, next red color with gradation, also edged with white color.
4. After finishing the petal, copy and transform it as you like. Continue to copy and transform the petals. Set the size, angle and the position of every petal, and apply a little perspective effect to make an intact flower.
5. Turn up the edges of the flower like the way we do for a single petal. Then draw the stamen part with a certain brush tool of yellow color.
6. Create a new layer and portrait the leaves part with the pen tool and modify them with dodge tool and burn tool to make them more natural.
7. In the mixed mode, we put color on the leaves. This step is for your own favourite, and the following color is just for your reference. Then merge the leaves layer and the flower layer. Adjust the size and the position to connect naturally.
8. Then we can draw some other Chinese peony in the same way, and change the color and size to make the picture much richer. At last, you can also spray some black color in the down right, then use dodge tool and burn tool to add some sense of hierarchicy as a blur mountain pattern. See? Finished!
