What is the process of making New Year pictures?

Mainly carving, overprinting and hand-painting. No matter what kind of New Year pictures are made, the process of creation and production must go through the steps of conception, composition, drafting, drawing or carving, rubbing and coloring. Idea is "idea". What to draw, how to draw, first of all, you must have a preliminary idea in your mind. When the author discovers the theme to be expressed in deep life, he should further consider how to express the content of the theme, that is, what form and means to express it, and also consider the rigidity and softness of lines and the effect of color. You should be "confident" before painting, so conception is the key to the creation of New Year pictures. After the conception is completed, the first thing to be solved is "composition". In New Year pictures, there are usually many decorative compositions on the plane. That is, the composition pursues fullness, balance, symmetry and other effects, and the composition uses scattered perspective. At this stage, we should pay attention to the basic rules of composition, start with the content of the picture, use different compositions for different contents, and pay attention to the choice of composition. When the author decides the composition according to the content of the picture, he will draw the manuscript. Traditionally, this edition of New Year pictures and their drafts are sketched with pencils or charcoal pens, but the difference is that woodblock New Year pictures should meet the needs of woodcut, that is, they should be changed into woodcut drafts on the basis of sketching. In the process of sketching, we should pay attention to: 1. Draw a draft carefully and completely. Second, it is necessary to save the original sketch and tick ink lines on the copy paper to facilitate modification on the basis of the first sketch. Third, every detail in the painting should be considered comprehensively and cannot be ignored.
