Architectural Landscape Illustration —— How to draw linear illustration landscape from scratch and see the summary of master's design ideas

Which color pencil drawing is suitable for painting landscapes and buildings? Sketches of landscapes and buildings generally do not require bright lead colors to be too bright, and natural and realistic colors will be better. It is recommended to look at the oily (24, 36, 72) color of artists from Deyun Society, which is made in Britain. The refill is hard and thick, and the brush strokes are low, which is suitable for large-scale coloring and detail description. If you like a little brighter color, you can choose the red box Faber-Carlton (48, 60, 72) color, and the economic conditions allow you to choose the green box Faber-Carlton (24, 48, 72) color, made in Germany. This set can not only draw landscapes and buildings, but also apply to still life, realistic figures and animated illustrations. If you like Japanese fresh style, you can choose colored lead such as dragonfly and holbein, and make it in Nissan. How to draw linear illustration landscape from scratch? Look at the master's summary of design ideas! If we have been studying lines, we will find that lines can not only represent the iconic individuals we see in ordinary daily life, but also represent larger and more complex landscapes. But the latter will be more difficult, especially if the lines are thick, and it is impossible to better express the details (such as clouds or catkins floating in the air). At that time, I was a little stuck in this train of thought and made no progress. After two days, I suddenly got inspiration out of thin air and thought of the road to simplification. Try to simplify the method, although it looks rough, but it has entered a new level. I don't think we should just create scenery, but convey it. So the scenery is developed step by step with the combination of lines and color blocks. The inspiration comes from the fact that I have a mirror image of this group of works. This group of works is mainly composed of thick lines and scenery, with emphasis on "color" (gradient combination). Tip: This kind of operation pays attention to the process of design thinking and does not involve the specific details of software operation. If you are not familiar with the software operation, you can move here to watch this simple and quick operation video of AI. △ The four ways to get the shape: spelling, subtracting, cutting and drawing the reference photo are not equal to the location of the copied photo, which needs to be very summarized. Because our plan here is to draw the scenery in a small rectangular box, in fact, the space is very limited. So the setting of lines will tend to be simple. Simplification is a very important idea. You can start your research with photos. Of course, when I was creating, I didn't just borrow one photo, but combined several photos for reference. Refer to the layout, composition and perspective in the photo to refine the most basic shape. If you are interested, you can watch the following video: △ How did the inspiration come from? Some tips on building foundation lines by referring to photos. If the details are not cumbersome, the simplified pattern can be represented by a grid. Of course, it depends on your habits. STEP0 1 Open AI and create a new document of 1600* 1600px. Draw a rounded rectangle in this document, and then lay out in this rounded rectangle. First, outline the largest basic shape with a few lines. The outer frame line is 30px, and the inner line can be slightly reduced to 25px, and then reduced to 20px. The principle of setting the line thickness is to make the line follow a certain sense of rhythm, such as a multiple of 5. Patterns set up the whole picture like building blocks. STEP02 continues to fill the picture of the building on the left with the logic of building blocks. At this time, we should learn to jump out of the "technical" thinking level, which I have repeatedly emphasized to the students in my teaching experience: we are not learning how to draw this object, for example, we draw the scenery of a small town here. What we have learned is the creative thinking behind it. Feng Zikai's book Understanding Painting is quoted here: "Painting is just like math and sports. Life doesn't have to draw apples, bananas, vases and teapots. It turned out that it was only through this kind of research that people's eyes were trained to be correct, sensitive, true and beautiful. It is used here to train your ability to shape lines through the process of drawing towns and buildings. This ability not only conforms to the shape of the building, but also makes it look beautiful and natural. STEP03 continues to go down, which is to optimize our shape again. There are two aspects to be paid attention to in shape optimization: whether the shape connection is closed or not and whether the overall shape is uniform. These two aspects are both macro and micro directions. Then adjust the shape of addition and deletion appropriately. Adding details is usually the last step in the framework work. At this time, we have to switch to another angle: at first, we regard the function of lines as establishing contours. At this time, it is necessary to describe the details with lines. Take an apple for example, and you will understand. The two functions of lines: sketch and painting, can be reflected here. So the details added here (windows, doors, waves, seabirds, etc. ) are used to describe lines. At this point, our contour line is completed. At this time, you can extend their appearance. In many logo designs, this step can actually be ended, because most flat-style logos only need an outline, and the color can be random monochrome. Color box to create a color box is actually to find an angle to observe the color. Use the relationship between two colors to evolve into a color array. In the video below, you can learn more about color arrays. △ color array: color frame diagram for beginners STEP0 1 Based on the above theory, I got this color array. Our colors start here. The main color is determined to be blue (inspired by our photos), and the secondary colors are pink and mint green. STEP02 Of course, the function of color array is not to let us use all colors, but to simplify them according to the actual situation. Keep trying key colors to find the best combination. Use the Shape Builder tool to color and assign main colors. STEP03 continues to use the last color mint green. At this time, everyone should pay attention to the subtle changes in color. Everything looks perfect when a single color appears. Once the second color is added, the situation becomes complicated. This is the same as our usual life. When a person is alone, everything is fine, and two people will have interpersonal relationships. The complicated relationship that makes people feel headache and happy brings more vitality and ups and downs. We see that although we use secondary colors, it also brings more color changes on some color blocks, which can be easily done with color arrays. The third color is red, which we can continue to use in graphics. STEP05 has three main colors, and the remaining colors can be fine-tuned on the basis of the existing colors, such as adjusting the lightness or saturation of the colors to obtain more delicate changes. Note the use of white here. We saw different colors because of the light. According to this truth, gradient is also a very important coloring element in order to obtain a richer sense of light. STEP 1 Before using the gradient, my suggestion is to do a flat coating. Flat painting is to establish the overall color balance, and then fine-tune it according to the lighting conditions. For the gradient, we need to be restrained, just choose one of the colors, and then fine-tune it in this narrow color range. For example, here we use a gradient red to make some subtle red changes. STEP2 then add shadows to the building, and the appearance of the shadows is arranged according to the principle of "beauty and truth". Many people here may ask what is the principle of "beauty and truth". The following is also a description from Feng Zikai's Enlightenment Painting: the picture is both ornamental and practical. Appreciation is beautiful, and practicality is true, so drawing exercises must take both "truth" and "beauty" into consideration. Specifically: for example, when drawing a bottle of flowers, we should carefully observe the shape, size, direction and color of flowers, leaves and bottles to avoid drawing mistakes. This is the "real" kung fu. At the same time, we should also coordinate and arrange skillfully to make it appropriate. At this time, the "beauty" aspect of kung fu. Knowing this principle, we will try to balance the two elements of the picture in practice. There are three points to pay attention to when making shadows: it is not necessary to be completely realistic to find the configuration of shadow colors of light sources. These three points can be demonstrated in detail in the following video: △ Line Illustration The effect after the completion of the three-step method of adding shadows is as follows: The last step of creating point highlights, here we add a small detail, which is also the crowning touch that suddenly comes to mind, and add some highlights to the picture. STEP 1 In plane composition, a point can be a point or a small square. In this picture, we use small white squares to highlight the picture. A picture with a little highlight will make the picture more vivid. The final effect: Postscript: The idea behind this article I have compiled three videos, which may give beginners more inspiration. I have been struggling to make a video or write an article before. I thought articles and videos were the best way to get what I needed. But later, during the operation, it was found that the two roads could not be parallel. I can only insert more parts in the article that I think are worth developing. Video is a supplement to the article, and the article is a supplement to video. Although now everyone says that there is no time to read words and videos are more direct, I always feel that it is easier to query and record what I have devoted myself to with words. Neither video nor article can replace each other. Who has ps pictures (scenery and people) material? Looking for material about scenic figures? I think the material of this forum is good.
