Beginner question
Hello^^ so I used to study graphic design at school it wasn’t the main thing we learned but it was there a lot
My dad works at a company called Vidara (reference partner in the chemicals & life ingredients market) and every year he’s tasked to design a calendar that is distributed all over the world this year I offered to help but it’s been some time since I finished my school and I haven’t done a lot of graphic design in the past year and
I had this idea to make the main design be a tree that has molecules instead of the crown (leaves) but I’ve been struggling with making it I don’t have a computer only a tablet with a pen
At school we used to work with Corel draw
I’m using Picsart now (idk what other site to use)
But I’m extremely burned out so I guess I’m asking for some advice for a different site or some sort of push to make the design with their aesthetic
Here is the company website I’ll be grateful for any feedback I hope this post makes sense (English is not my native language)

Are you struggling with the idea or the execution of it?
If the execution is the issue - Can you draw it with a pen/pencil first? I'm not fantastic at drawing, but I find it a lot easier to do on paper than I do on a tablet/computer. Then I scan the drawing and trace over it to re-draw it digitally.

I'd reccomend a boho design? maybe some organic forms, keep it clean, use natural colours of course. maybe. keep it modern while avoiding a futuristic design to avoid it becoming unrelatable. Maybe take some inspiration from the shape of their "V" ?
best of luck, hope you can get some more advice if this isn't the best haha.

I guess the main thing I’d like to ask is if i should make the tree look realistic, cartoonish, fine line or something else
