Here’s a written overview of how to draw flat winter florals in Procreate:

Start by drawing in your poinsettias with the lightest pink color to draw in the petals. Create a new layer underneath and grab the next darkest pink color. Repeat one more time with the darkest pink/ reddish color. Add in the center seeds switching between shades of yellow to add dimension. Group these layers together. You can duplicate this layer to create a new poinsettia or draw in a small poinsettia.
Then draw in some supporting flowers underneath the poinsettia layer. Duplicate the flower or draw in another small one as well.
Draw in branches at varying lengths. Drop in your dark colored background. Draw in white dots on the tips branches for the berries.
Next, fill in the background with various flat leaves switching between the shades of brown. Add in details through shadows to your leaves, alternating the side that you put the shadow on. If there is extra white space behind your main flowers, fill it in with your light brown color to tie everything together and make it seem like the foliage is full.
Add in pine branches with your green color. Add in some extra branches with the blue to create some depth to the leaves.
Finish it up by adding in some liner branches to the background. They are a great supporting element to balance out the piece.
Done!
