The figure painting in Chinese painting is a kind of painting theme that the painter has expressed for the longest time. The figures in Chinese painting are divided into meticulous figure painting and freehand figure painting, which are quite different in their forms of expression. Let's take a look at their respective characteristics.

China's meticulous figure painting techniques

When drawing, first draw the characters carefully and accurately with a pencil or charcoal bar on the drawing paper, pay attention to the depiction of characters and gods, and use lines accurately and safely. Then copy the draft to rice paper or alum wire, and then stretch the copied rice paper or alum wire to the drawing board of the same size.

When dropping ink, use different shades of ink, and show the texture of the skin and clothes with different lines and inks according to the structural relationship between characters and other objects and the requirements of texture and three-dimensional sense. In order to express the texture and three-dimensional sense of characters, color separation can be carried out according to the structural relationship and inherent color of objects. You can also use some light and shadow effects to increase expressiveness and lay the foundation for the following color unification.

Uniform color, according to the different colors of objects and characters, can be Tu Ping, painted full. The pen requires conciseness and sharp contrast, but we must pay attention to the handling of the overall tone of the picture. In addition, before the formal flat coating and cover dyeing, you can draw a color draft first, and then formally color it. Because clothes, backgrounds and other props are relatively large, large-scale rendering and coloring should be applied.

After the completion, the color is basically completed, and finally, according to the needs of the picture, hook it with color or ink once, such as hair and eyes.

China's freehand figure painting techniques

Because of gender and age, the painting method is slightly different. The general painting method is that the head can be painted with thick ink, light ink or both, depending on the characters and environment. When sketching the face and facial features, we can deal with them according to the structure, or slightly combine certain light and shade relations. After the sketch is completed, it can be rendered in light ink, such as corners of eyes, eyes, bottom of nose, corners of mouth, midline of lips and chin. It's best to render as little as possible and don't leave brush strokes.

The hands and feet of characters are difficult to draw, especially the hands. As long as we grasp the basic shapes of fingertips, middle finger joints and base joints, fingers can draw well. At the same time, pay attention to the differences of gender, age and texture. For example, women's hands are soft and elastic, while men's hands are strong and heavy. The foot painting is basically the same as the hand painting, except that the pen is thicker than the hand.

Draw clothes, light clothes, use sketches. Dark clothes, with boneless splash ink method. When sketching, for thinner fabrics, the lines can be slightly thinner and stronger; Thick fabric, thick thread. This can show different textures. Pay attention to the clothing lines of the display structure. It is not a structural clothing pattern and can be omitted in large numbers. At the same time, we should pay attention to the combination and density of clothing patterns.

Coloring, mainly ink, supplemented by color. The color of figure painting is basically the inherent color of shade. Women are mainly Zhu Zi, men are mainly ochre, and those with white faces can be properly powdered. Generally speaking, freehand brushwork figures should use more water and drip color to make color and ink blend together.
