This is the digital painting of a lotus flower. I was inspired to create this when sent me a wall painting of lily flower hang in his room. He really wanted me to draw something like that and I tried to paint it digitally. I am not an expert in digital paintings so the result may not be that much realistic. I am still learning the digital painting and using different techniques to make it more appealing. In this painting, the whole flower is drawn and painted using the pen tablet, for the water ripples I have used liquify tool and ripple filter in photoshop.
