Digital art_2020. Singing Forest

Hi friends!

Finally I've repaired my computer and can return to my favorite digital painting!
First picture I wanted to draw was a continuation of my drawing series about **Singing Forest** and their magic animals.
Last time I met you with [**Blue Owls**](https://hive.blog/hive-156509/@daring-celt/digital-art2020-blue-owls-in-the-singing-forest), do you remember?
Now I decided to draw a **Singing Forest** itself.
What do you think it might look like?
Something like this...


![Поющий Лес_гот.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYKubQoxs3EeTzdbQTecFGTLLAcqwBJ4deu3k1mT6hXb8/%D0%9F%D0%BE%D1%8E%D1%89%D0%B8%D0%B9%20%D0%9B%D0%B5%D1%81_%D0%B3%D0%BE%D1%82.jpg)

I saw a story of that drawing in the sky. One day I looked out the window and saw how a clouds had formed strangely. 
I immediately made a sketch of this kind, so as not to forget.

I started my drawing in **Paint Tool SAI 2**, but sometime I used **Photoshop** when I needed a unusual form of brushes...

![Скетч.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmconemNkFEBpAYoXvAvNR2ekEL2xLQ7FdwyCKyrLKX2jn/%D0%A1%D0%BA%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%87.jpg)

Maked a strokes of base colors
Above there will be flashes like the northern lights. 
I thought it would look magical

![Этап_1.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbaUfEMFEwJxKgrJeoLUSCpLUnMa8QzKpGe9YziT12GLf/%D0%AD%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BF_1.jpg)

Choosed a dark color gradient for background as deep space

![Этап_2.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmSTtUR7WKorCdeMKKwcekE9RJFczafcyFWh4MHuTmHEHu/%D0%AD%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BF_2.jpg)

Aurora Borealis is shining!
One of my lover Photoshop brushes I created myself.
I created two layers, lower of them was bluring to make a soft glow

![Этап_3.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmNSXibN8JmVtziVGk2Zgpc62E24kvDpLLcUXMkgiiDibU/%D0%AD%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BF_3.jpg)

This is magic reflaction from trees

![Этап_4.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmcfsiKUuryXNh6BQS9GJqXfGyd7RKwFW2dsYefWjnHJGj/%D0%AD%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BF_4.jpg)

A сolorful trees of **Singing Forest**.
I drew their leaves in an unusual spiral shape, with intertwined branches.

![Этап_5.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmWyYL856MScfd8q1BJGak58crWvnCrpHPBfsJuvACiF7q/%D0%AD%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BF_5.jpg)

In this step I drew a cloudy enviroment around of trees.
These are also various bizarre forms. I used two of my brushes - like a cloud with soft wet edges and a basic round with scattering options.

![Этап_6.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmeGHgSuw4N5iChy8QBUFz2zTv2bGqJu9fMPpqnysJnkgg/%D0%AD%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BF_6.jpg)

Details.
Spiral tops of trees

![Этап_7.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmcC4qnJBhMu3y5op7eXEFNMJV7R66aRNJe9uEb4K6zPkZ/%D0%AD%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BF_7.jpg)

The I decided to resize my picture to make the composition more expressive.

![Этап_8_Масштаб.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmc1TYfKTP9w83GQT4G7fM4xxULPXUe6RqFXqmETMjAa1E/%D0%AD%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BF_8_%D0%9C%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%88%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%B1.jpg)

and maked a glow for trees (blured copy of layer and set blending mode to **Screen**)

![Этап_9.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYaYv8SD6aXqUcXwNUHudg5eNUTQReKy93NE6NLZ9Vtkf/%D0%AD%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BF_9.jpg)

The I wanted a forest has more saturation color and replace a copy blured layer above the original.
And change blend mode to **Linear Dodge (Add)**

![Этап_10.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmVpfSHdKuMxXG79B5qvL2zUpDmBbjb3PkYrb675X3dxa8/%D0%AD%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BF_10.jpg)

I don't know what a star buildings they are - may be a Chrystal Castles from a space ice growing on the asteroids.
But it must be beautiful too!


![Этап_12.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmc7zS1ECkM2MeHUUPpENLJc6VSAVVVtxPpjJm3AwNrTe3/%D0%AD%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BF_12.jpg)

And final element - a music from Universal falling to leaves of forest.
How can draw a music?
I think, as a delicate chains of stars...

![Этап_11.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPBaFt7k4TWcM4AUp9yindRVgoPT9hYbukctNBPSEygVf/%D0%AD%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BF_11.jpg)

It remains to draw distant stars and planets in the depths of space and some color correction.

![Этап_13.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmSbh674Ub66dLidTr69k3nKMhTgjgTWjp7V5rkGW87q12/%D0%AD%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BF_13.jpg)

This is how it is, **the Singing Forest**, growing somewhere in unknown outer space, able to hear and reproduce the music of the stellar spheres...

![Поющий Лес_гот.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYKubQoxs3EeTzdbQTecFGTLLAcqwBJ4deu3k1mT6hXb8/%D0%9F%D0%BE%D1%8E%D1%89%D0%B8%D0%B9%20%D0%9B%D0%B5%D1%81_%D0%B3%D0%BE%D1%82.jpg)

I hope you'll like a story of creation this picture.

Have a nice and creative day!

Gera
