Style characteristics of Guo Chao's illustrations The style characteristics of Guo Chao's illustrations are as follows:

1. Common illustrations in national tide style, with rich and delicate lines, even colors and low saturation. The overall Chinese style is heavy but exquisite and durable, with a wider scope of application.

There are many lines in the picture, but the lines will be thinner. Basically, lines are used as bones to shape every object, and the overall color is more unified.

3. Lines are an important part, and the number of lines determines the fineness of your picture.

4. A picture has 1-3 general color systems to form an illustration.

5. The color is not fixed, but it can be light and bright, paying more attention to the performance of ink painting and the paper texture of the picture to reflect the characteristics of Chinese style.

National tide style illustration is an illustration that combines Chinese style elements with trend elements, and uses Chinese style elements to draw people and things that appear in the world. The color matching, composition and elements of the picture should have obvious Chinese flavor.

What is Guo Chao's illustration of Guo Chao? Literally, it can be understood as the trend culture with national characteristics in China. The characteristics of "national tide" are mainly manifested in two points. First, the core is traditional culture, and second, it has a sense of fashion when it is integrated with the current trend.

"Tide brand" is the refinement, deconstruction and reorganization of a certain cultural element, with the coat of the brand as the carrier. Meet contemporary young people's pursuit of culture and fashion. With Chinese people's confidence in China's traditional culture, "national tide" has become the darling of young people in recent years. Where is the "national tide"?

Street brand originated from American street culture. Stucy and Supreme are the most representative brands. Stussi's signature is the epitome of graffiti culture in 1970s. Supreme is paying tribute to skateboarding culture.

In the 1990s, the United States came to Japan. The collision between Asian introversion and this trend has produced a chemical reaction, which is represented by the appearance of "Japanese tide" tooling. On the one hand, the widespread popularity of American tide and Japanese tide stems from the pioneering and individual design style, on the other hand, it also stems from the brand's profound understanding and manifestation of the local cultural connotation. It can be seen that a mature Guo Chao brand must be avant-garde and unique externally, which can capture the appetite of the younger generation, but its core is also deep and heavy, which cannot be separated from the cultural genes that have been precipitated for thousands of years. Culture can not only inspire the voices of national individuals, but also give brand value and make the cold design symbols come alive.
