How to draw the most beautiful moon in Mid-Autumn Festival?

Draw a beautiful Mid-Autumn Chang 'e, which can be completed according to the following steps:

1. Sketch the outline and head details: First, sketch the outline of Chang 'e with soft lines, including her hair, face, body and long skirt. Draw Chang 'e's five senses, including her eyes, eyebrows, nose and mouth. Pay attention to details to make her face look soft.

2. Hairstyle and clothing: add Chang 'e's hairstyle. You can choose her classic long hair shawl or design it according to your own creativity. Traditional fairy dresses, including long-sleeved dresses, may have tassels and clouds. Make sure the clothes are smooth and dynamic.

3. Moon background and color selection: Chang 'e is usually associated with the bright Mid-Autumn Festival full moon. You can draw a round moon, and then add some clouds or astronomical symbols to the moon to increase the depth of the painting. Choose the right color, usually Chang 'e's clothes are blue or white, and her hair can be black. Pay attention to details and make the colors look rich and smooth.

4. Shadow and detail correction: use shadows and highlights to increase the depth and three-dimensional sense of painting. These can make Chang 'e look more stereoscopic and beautiful. Finally, check and modify the details to ensure that the painting looks neat and accurate.

The story of Chang 'e in Mid-Autumn Festival

Once upon a time, in ancient China, there was an archer named Hou Yi. Hou Yi is a brave and kind person. One day, he helped people destroy the nine suns that threatened mankind. As a reward, the Queen Mother gave him a bottle of elixir of life.

2. Hou Yi is very grateful, but he doesn't want to live alone forever and wants to share immortality with his wife Chang 'e, but his wife Chang 'e is very smart and knows that the power of immortality is too strong. If two people take it, it may lead to bad consequences. So she decided not to take the elixir of life, but to hide it at home.

However, one day, Hou Yi went out hunting, leaving Chang 'e alone at home. At this time, her neighbors borrowed Dongfeng at the door, but Chang 'e knew that these people actually wanted to take the elixir. After some resistance, Chang 'e realized that she could not resist everyone and had to swallow the elixir. The power of the elixir soon took effect, and Chang 'e felt her body getting lighter and lighter, and finally floated into the air.

She flew to the moon, where she became a fairy and spent the rest of her life on the moon. The Jade Rabbit on the moon became her companion and lived with her. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, people will enjoy the moon and taste moon cakes to commemorate this traditional story. The story of Chang 'e in Mid-Autumn Festival represents China culture's emphasis on the moon, family and love, and has become a part of the Mid-Autumn Festival tradition.
