How to draw food?

How to draw the food in the cartoon? Detailed explanation of the painting method of fried pork chops with rice!

In recent years, all kinds of food cartoons are very popular. For example, comic works such as "The Spirit of the Rabbit" and "Gourmet", one of the protagonists of food comics, are quite difficult to describe food.

In this tutorial, we will take "pork chop 1: 1 rice" as an example to learn how to draw delicious food in cartoons. In this process, we will not only explain the drawing skills in detail, but also teach the trick of "looking delicious"!

Draw the bottom layer with the pen tool first, and draw while observing the real thing.

The first is to draw a sketch. Take the physical object as the prototype reference, prepare photos and other materials, and draw while watching.

Painting food should not only present a realistic feeling, but also combine the theme background, props and theme.

Next is the drawing of food, but because the food in the cartoon is drawn, the tiny details of pork chop rice are omitted. The main visual center is still dominated by "pork chop".

Hardness will appear after the tableware is tightened with graphic tools, and the difference between food and texture can be seen.

Second, color distinction: there are probably levels.

The color of rice covered with pork chops is roughly differentiated by gradient. It will be more natural not to subdivide grades.

Third, the background color painting method: just look at the color change.

Draw the background color after color separation.

Ignore the concave-convex shadow and only look at the color change, because the color and shadow will become turbid when drawn in one breath, which is the point to pay attention to.

Fourth, use a pen: soft brush and hard brush are used separately.

0 1. Description of bright parts

Use an air brush to understate, and gently lighten the bright part of the fried pork chop, showing a three-dimensional effect. (brightness 70%)

At the same time, highlight the tiny parts. At this time, draw the small protrusions of the fried clothes with a hard brush such as a G pen. (brightness 70%)

02. Depiction of the dark part

Gently draw shadows with the airbrush tool to create a three-dimensional effect. (The positive film is stacked at the bottom)

In addition, darken the details. Use a hard brush such as a G pen to draw the small protrusions of fried clothes and the three-dimensional sense of eggs. (The positive film is stacked at the bottom)

03. Adjust the shadows

Because it's easier to draw shadows of the same color in one breath, so draw all the shadows in one breath, and then adjust the color after that.

Lock the bottom layer of the positive stack and change the color with the spray gun tool. At this time, it will be more realistic to use a color close to the primer, which will reduce the chromaticity and make the color close to gray.

04. Highlight

Describe the luster of eggs.

Because putting the white luster in the fried pork chop will destroy the texture, the highlight description will only be placed in the egg part.

Highlights are drawn with a hard brush such as a G pen. If it is blurred, it will give people a sticky impression, so please stand up and fix the edge.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) color adjustment: emphasize the difference of materials.

Among the strongly colored elements such as egg yolk and bees.
