Illustration of teacups —— How to insert them properly —— A brief analysis of Andersen's fairy tale illustrations in Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House

How to draw a teapot illustration The drawing method of teapot illustration is as follows:

1. First, draw the basic teapot shape on the paper with a pencil, including the teapot body, spout and handle.

2. Then, draw the outline and details of the teapot with a black watercolor pen or oily pen (or other colors), such as the texture and pattern of the teapot.

3. Then, fill different parts of the teapot with different colors of watercolor or colored lead, such as the pot body and handle. You can choose gradient fill or solid color fill to achieve better results.

4. Finally, add shadows and highlights to the teapot to make the picture more stereoscopic. You can use gray or brown to depict shadows and white or light to depict highlights.

It should be noted that when drawing teapot illustrations, we should also pay attention to maintaining the balance and coordination of the whole picture. You can add some items that match the teapot, such as teacups and tea leaves, to enrich the content of the picture and make it more vivid and interesting.

Drawing illustration skills

1. Sketch: Before drawing, you can sketch the outline and shape of the main object with a pencil or a thin pen, and gradually add details on this basis.

2. Color selection: according to the theme and atmosphere of the illustration, choose the corresponding color and tone. You can use gradient or color mixing to make the picture more vivid and interesting.

3. Pay attention to proportion and composition: try to make the proportion of objects and elements in the picture coordinated, with reasonable layout and distinct layers, so as to achieve a sense of visual balance.

4. Highlight key points: Highlight key items or elements in the picture, which can be achieved by using bright colors and lines with different thicknesses.

5. Combination of imitation and innovation: You can learn from the styles and skills of other illustrations, and at the same time pay attention to your own innovation and personality to form your own illustration style.

6. Practice and try more: You need to practice and try constantly, and constantly explore and explore new expression techniques and skills to improve your illustration level and creative ability.

It should be noted that the above are just some simple skills and methods of drawing illustrations. The specific painting method and style need to be determined according to personal preferences and specialties. You can try and practice more to draw more beautiful and exquisite illustrations.

Watercolor copy _ cute girl curtain ∨ _ attached painting process Watercolor copy coloring: Bunny Bunny's flower teacup hut, have an afternoon tea in the garden. On the occasion of the full moon, I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

It was painted yesterday afternoon, and it still took about five hours. Briefly record the process and experience of painting.

A small difficulty in this painting is the two flowers on it, which personally feel like roses (Chinese rose) and corn poppy. There is a light gradient at the edge of the petal. Try to copy the original picture. I tried a little wet painting and used two brushes, including a clean pen.

Roses feel like peony in Chinese painting (although they can't do Chinese painting), with overlapping petals, bright colors and gradual changes. I also rendered it several times, supplemented the color several times, fainted with water, and the edge brightened a little, basically completing the gradient petals.

At first it was wooden windows, benches, etc. They are all painted, basically flat, but it is a little more complicated to draw the wood grain through color matching and subsequent tick marks.

The bushes are golden yellow, yellow green, green, dark green and other color changes, slightly reflecting the light and shade.

Due to the limited time and ability, this painting also has many shortcomings and deficiencies:

The brushwork of leaves and flowers is not as old as the original picture: the color of leaves has not changed; The color gradient of petals is relatively uniform, the red part is not as bright as the original picture, and the original picture is not left blank. There are deliberate water marks in many places in the original picture.

The leaves of the bush are not quite the same as the original picture.

The grass is a little black and a little too uniform.

There are some personal changes:

I like the white rabbit, so I painted it like this.

Add tentacles to bees.

I don't like blue teacups and polka dots, so I use light blue almost white porcelain to try to feel a little sky blue.

Similarly, the red triangle pattern on the pale yellow teacup is also omitted. The curved edges are still sketched. I didn't transfer to Gou Xianbi because I was lazy, but most of them felt a little uncomfortable and needed to practice.

The painting materials used mainly include:

Holbein stereoscopic watercolor,

Domestic red grease brush,

Humboldt watercolor paper 200g.

For details, please refer to my previous article on watercolor materials.

Pure novice, strive for progress. Welcome to communicate.

This painting and related exercise pictures are included in the album My Watercolor Copy-Bunny Nest Series. If you are interested, please click to view. There are sweet milk tea shops, ice cream fruit huts, watermelon fruit huts and red mushroom huts in Tu Tu, which will be updated in the future.

I also plan to draw some two-dimensional watercolor sketches and antique coloring books for girls, as well as more classic animation works such as copying woody cherry blossoms and beautiful girl soldiers. I want to draw a lot of things. I hope to have a chance to try it.

I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Family health!

How Good are the Illustrations —— Analysis of Illustrations in Andersen's Fairy Tales by Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House According to Song Juzhi's illustration standard, we can find that the illustrations in this book fully explain the contents of fairy tales in color and detail.

Next, I will analyze how the illustrations in this edition of Andersen's fairy tales are integrated with the story from the angles of colors and details.

If you had to choose a color to represent witches, what color would you choose?

Purple, blue, black?

Generally speaking, we are used to using dark tones to represent evil and strangeness.

Daughter of the Sea uses dark tones to outline the image of a witch under the water.

This painting depicts a little mermaid who wants to become human and look for an undersea witch. The whole illustration, except the mermaid is pink, almost all the surrounding background colors are dark: black, dark blue, purple, grass green, even if there is red, it only outlines the outline of the witch as a line.

This dark background+red embellishment will give people a strange mystery.

A similar dark tone+red design will appear in many tomb raiding films in China. But these pictures are scary, so I won't let them go.

Perhaps this color scheme symbolizes strangeness, danger and death. Therefore, in The Nightingale, the illustrator also uses dark colors and red outlines to depict the image of death.

In the nightingale, the god of death who wants to take the life of King China wears a black robe with a red pattern and a black hat with red pendants, and reaches out to the king with his red hand. If you look closely, you can see that the lower eyeliner of death is also red.

In addition, do you feel that the image of this god of death in the illustration is very similar to the ancient emperor of China?

That's true. The image of death in this illustration really draws lessons from the costume characteristics of ancient emperors in China.

Why should we draw lessons from the characteristics of China's imperial costumes when shaping the image of death that is often mentioned in western culture?

Because the nightingale is a fairy tale that happened in China.

Therefore, the illustrator did not follow the image of the west when describing the death, but combined the image of the death in China culture-Rebecca.

The original text describes the plot in the illustration like this:

The details of these illustrations make it clear at a glance that the story of "Nightingale" took place in China.

The illustration of Nightingale is taken from Andersen's fairy tales and published by Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House.

It is not only death that makes people shudder, but also the Snow Queen.

This queen, who brings biting cold, is both beautiful and cold. The illustrator also used dark tones to show her appearance.

The seemingly bottomless dark forest creates a dark and mysterious feeling. In contrast, it seems to be the snow queen with white light.

In order to highlight that the Snow Queen's hat and coat are made of ice and snow, the illustrator specially put a cross-shaped flash under the hat and clothes.

Against the backdrop of the dark forest, the snow is more crystal clear, but there is no warmth.

The illustrations of dairy queen are taken from Andersen's fairy tales and published by Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House.

Fairy tales are not only dark and evil, but also full of hope.

If you choose a color to represent hope, what would you choose?

In The Last Leaf, O Henry used a dark green leaf painted on the wall to symbolize the hope of living.

The illustrator of this edition of Andersen's fairy tales by Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House also dyed the hope in the fairy tales with green and yellow.

The illustrator drew the ugly duckling at birth with the yellow-green leaves as the background. The ugly duckling and a group of ducklings learn to swim with the mother duck.

Because the ugly duckling is the last egg hatched by the mother duck, it ranks last among ducklings.

But did you find out?

Mother duck and other ducklings are very comfortable and leisurely, and their feathers are goose yellow.

The ugly duckling at the end seems to be an alternative, completely different from them.

Not only are the feathers covered with dust, but they also hang their heads, lifeless and embarrassed.

But why did the illustrator choose bright yellow-green as the background of the illustration instead of using dim colors to render the unpopular gray mood when the ugly duckling was born?

I guess illustrators use this bright yellow-green color scheme for two reasons:

Not only the ugly duckling has changed, but also the little boy living under the control of the Snow Queen.

The Snow Queen planted hard ice in his heart, erased the memories of the past and was trapped in the cold castle.

It was not until his childhood friends found him and melted the ice in his heart that he woke up like a dream.

When he and his partner walked home, because the magic of the Snow Queen disappeared and the snow melted, the land once ruled by the Snow Queen gradually recovered and the spring was full.

The illustrator also painted the feeling of spring returning to the earth with yellow-green as the keynote.

The illustrations of dairy queen are taken from Andersen's fairy tales and published by Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House.

The illustrator used a similar color when the little mermaid couldn't bear to hurt the prince and jumped into the sea in the morning.

The picture below depicts the process of the mermaid becoming an elf after she jumped into the sea because she couldn't bear to stab the prince.

The image of the little mermaid presents a color similar to the sunrise.

This light yellow figure gives a warm feeling.

This color seems to indicate that the mermaid will not die on the sea like foam without the love of the prince, as predicted by the witch, but will become an elf.

The illustration of The Daughter of the Sea is taken from Andersen's fairy tales and published by Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House.

Illustrators want to draw illustrations that can make children understand the plot only by illustrations. When creating, they need to be loyal to the story and can't trust horses.

Many illustrations in this edition of Andersen's fairy tales by Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House draw the details of the story.

1. The facial expressions of characters reflect people's feelings.

How do you feel when you see the prince in this illustration? Does it seem that this prince is lifeless and lifeless?

The illustration of The Daughter of the Sea is taken from Andersen's fairy tales and published by Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House.

Indeed, because the "prince" in this painting is not a prince, but a white marble statue.

This illustration is taken from The Daughter of the Sea. It depicts that the little mermaid fell in love at first sight when she met the prince, but she had nowhere to talk about it. She had to hold a big white marble statue she found that looked like the prince to alleviate the pain of lovesickness.

So the "prince" in this painting gives people a sense of lifelessness, because he is not a real person, but a stone.

Nevertheless, the illustrator drew a gentle face for the little mermaid, showing her gentleness to the prince.

We can infer the mermaid's prince lover from her expression. Can you guess the mood in the picture below?

Who is secretly happy and proud, who is worried?

The illustration of Wild Swan is taken from Andersen's fairy tales and published by Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House.

This illustration is taken from Wild Swan, which shows the scene that the stepmother gives her stepchildren a cup full of sand instead of food. We can infer their situation from their expressions.

The queen looks like a Gherardini, as if she is happy to see her abused child; And 1 1 Prince and 1 Princess are very sad. However, if we look closely, we can find that although everyone has a sad face, everyone has a different expression on his face. I admire the illustrator's skill here.

The content of the painting shows the details of the story.

The illustrations in this edition of Andersen's fairy tales by Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House also hide many details of the story.

Let's test our eyesight first. Please look for it. How many people are there in the illustration?

The illustration of Little Klaus and Big Klaus is taken from Andersen's fairy tales and published by Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House.

Did you find out?

There are three people in the illustration.

In addition to the two people sitting at the table, there is also a person secretly looking out of the box under the table.

Why is this man in the box? You can find the answer in the fairy tale Little Klaus and Big Klaus.

Let's test our eyesight again. Please count. How many dogs are there in this illustration?

Illustration of "Playing Light Box", taken from Andersen's fairy tales, Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House.

There are three dogs in this picture, because there are three dogs with big eyes in the fairy tale Light Box corresponding to this illustration.

Did you find that the white dog's eyes are unusually big?

Another illustration also shows three objects in the story-three pears.

This illustration corresponds to "pins can also bring good luck"

In this story, craftsmen make pear trees into three kinds: large, medium and small.

The illustration of A Pin Can Bring Good Luck is taken from Andersen's Fairy Tales published by Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House.

Besides three dogs, there are three kinds of pears and clover.

The fairy tale "Don't talk, but keep it in mind" tells three stories.

Andersen said that these three stories are like three leaves growing on the same root.

So the text of the whole fairy tale is embedded in clover, and three pages of grass are drawn next to the title of the fairy tale.

Illustration of "Don't talk, remember in your heart", taken from Andersen's Fairy Tales by Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House.

The illustrations next to the title of this edition of Andersen's fairy tales by Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House can not only let us see the details of the story, but also get a glimpse of the whole story.

The title "Old people can never do anything wrong" is surrounded by a circle of horses, cows, sheep, geese, chickens, apples and gold coins.

Because this fairy tale is connected by these contents.

Introduction to illustrator

These fantastic and touching illustrations were created by a young female illustrator Kuri.

Kuri graduated from Beijing Film Academy with a postgraduate degree in illustration from Syracuse University. He made his mark in many design competitions and cooperated with many publishing houses and game companies.

Perhaps it is precisely because of women's delicate perspective and psychology that she can draw the pain and joy of the little mermaid's infatuation;

The excitement and joy on the skirt when the flowers of little Aida dance;

Karen deeply blamed herself when she remembered her dancing red shoes.

Andersen's fairy tales published by Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House include not only illustrations of the stories, but also the title page (here is the page with the title), the ring lining page (the previous page with the title), the catalogue and so on.

Can you guess why there is a soldier with only one leg under the words "Andersen's Fairy Tales" on the title page?

Title page, taken from Andersen's Fairy Tales by Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House.

If you look at the ring lining carefully, you will find that the images in it all appear in the illustrations of fairy tales.

Look for it. What images have you seen in the story?

Ring pages, from Andersen's Fairy Tales, Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House.

What is particularly worth mentioning is the design of the catalogue.

First, there are pictures, which are very nice;

Second, the distance between each story topic in the catalogue is so large that it seems depressing.

Catalogue, extracted from Andersen's Fairy Tales published by Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House.

Compare the compact and depressing catalogues of other versions of Andersen's fairy tales, and you may feel how relaxed this sense of distance will bring.

Borrowed 15 Andersen's fairy tales published since 1980s from the library.

It turned out that it might be because we didn't borrow the right books.

Because in the 15 book I borrowed, there are enough illustrations and good-looking enough to show that there are not many versions of the story.

15 Andersen's fairy tales

These versions of fairy tale illustrations are either extremely naive and ridiculous, and have no aesthetic feeling;

Either the illustrations are black and white, which are beautiful enough but have limited effect on the presentation of the story atmosphere;

Illustrations of Andersen's fairy tales by a publishing house; Left: Hai's daughter, friend: Wild Swan.

Either it is black and white, and the printing is not clear;

Either famous artists paint, but some painting styles are not beautiful enough or a little strange (I personally think they are not beautiful enough and a little strange).

Because for children who are still in the period of thinking in images, they often take what they see as true.

So a little strange painting style will affect their understanding of real things.

People's Literature Publishing House "Andersen's Fairy Tales"

The only Andersen Fairy Tales with colorful illustrations, exquisite realistic paintings and story explanations is Andersen Fairy Tales by Children's Publishing House.

Unfortunately, there are too few illustrations. There are 20 fairy tales in the book with only 8 illustrations.

I had this version of fairy tales at home when I was in primary school, and I still remember this book because the illustrations are so beautiful.

But I remember that every time I picked up this book, I was absorbed in the illustrations for a long time, and then I put them down. I don't want to read this story at all.

Because there are not enough illustrations, there are often many pages full of words. For me when I was still in primary school, the reading experience was really unpleasant.

I am also used to buying books now to see if the font is big enough and the spacing between lines is sparse. Countless books, no matter how good the content is, are hard to arouse my interest in reading.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that there are 147 notes at the end of Andersen's Fairy Tales published by Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House, which further explains the content of the article and helps readers understand the content of the story.

For example, The Daughter of the Sea ends with:

Maybe we didn't feel anything special when we saw this, but after reading the prompt, we will find that the article mentioned that the mermaid has no tears, and the tears of Xiaomei mermaid show that she has created a miracle.

I borrowed 15 books, and only 5 books were annotated.

Andersen's fairy tales by Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House, with a short biography of Andersen on the last page.

Readers can understand the simple living and literary status of this great fairy tale writer.

Maybe you care about translation, too.

Because some Andersen's fairy tales on the market are not only translated, but also written for young children, and the language is younger.

However, the language of Andersen's fairy tales by Yunnan Fine Arts Publishing House is not deliberately young.

For example, the following passage is selected from the fairy tale "Don't say it in your mouth, keep it in your heart" and uses the idiom of serving others with virtue and sharing weal and woe.

Andersen's fairy tales are treasures in the history of literature, but even the best fairy tales can only play a role if readers are willing to read and understand them.

There are many versions of Andersen's fairy tales on the market. I hope you can find a book you are willing to read and have always treasured.
