Pen drawing beginners

I. Brief Description of Pen Painting The original form of pen painting was in the Middle Ages more than 1000 years ago. At that time, the prototype of pen-and-ink painting appeared in the manuscripts of the Bible and Gospels. At the end of 19, pen drawing was popularized in European countries, and many painters used pen drawing as a tool for sketching and collecting materials. Matteo Ricci, an Italian, came to China on 1592, bringing with him copperplate prints related to pen drawing and witnessing the cultural exchange between the East and the West. After the founding of New China, with the rapid development of pen-making industry, people began to use pen-drawing comic books. Later, the teachers and students of the Academy of Fine Arts generally used pen-and-ink architectural sketches, and offered pen-and-ink courses at the same time. Second, the characteristics of ink painting art, ink painting uses a hard nib and draws ink, which will inevitably bring aesthetic characteristics different from other paintings. Ink painting can't draw appropriate shades based on the characteristics of its own materials like pencils, charcoal pens and ink pens. The trace depth of pen-and-ink painting on paper is consistent, and the use of color scale is restricted. It lacks rich gray tones. We classify pen-drawing as black-and-white art, and lines become the most active expression factor after ignoring body modeling elements such as tone and light. Using lines to define the inside and outside, outline, posture and volume of an object is the most concise and intuitive form of expression. Many other kinds of paintings are easily scratched or stained, but pen-and-ink painting can not only keep itself clean and fresh, but also they will not fade. Steel painting uses less materials, which is simple and cheap. It only needs two or three good pens and pen holders, a bottle of ink and a nib cloth, a drawing board, a very soft pencil for sketching, a soft eraser to finally erase the lines drawn by the pencil, and a knife to repair the lines of the pen. Because pen drawing tools are portable and easy to carry, you can practice at any time, sketch at any time, record at any time, and even sketch the design on the construction site, which is one of the reasons why pen drawing is widely used by designers. Third, the expression technique of pen-and-ink painting (1) The expression form of pen-and-ink painting 1. Line drawing. The modeling method based on straight line has a long history in both east and west. Line drawing is simple and clear. Defining the image and structure of a painting with lines is a highly generalized abstract technique. Style line drawing generally pays attention to the charm of lines or dignified simplicity or ethereal beauty, while line drawing pays attention to the density contrast and interspersed organization of lines in a picture form. 2. Light and dark debugging. Because the pen is not easy to modify, we should pay attention to the accurate grasp of light and dark tones and light and dark contrast when using pen drawing. When objects are juxtaposed in one place, the intersection of two colors produces the inner and outer contours of the objects, and the clearer objects in the picture can only be revealed through certain contrast. The stronger the contrast, the clearer the object. (2) Traditional performance techniques 1. Dotted line arrangement method. Pen-drawing is a tool especially suitable for creating silhouette works, and its lines can appropriately express various regular shapes and textures. This method of using contour lines, the arrangement and composition of lines or points, horizontal lines, vertical lines and arcs, and the interleaving of lines to outline color blocks and light and shade is the point-and-line arrangement method. 2. Anti-white method (black background method). Sketch on black paper with white gouache pigment. The sketching tool can be a small brush or a duckbill pen. The anti-white method is similar to the effect of black-and-white prints, and is suitable for night scenes, dark scenes and scenes with specific atmosphere. This kind of expression requires the painter to have a solid foundation in painting and the overall ability to grasp the picture. 3. Stylized decorative painting. Some painters tend to use pen-and-ink painting to stylize and decorate their works. According to the needs of painting theme, the designed picture consists of simple and orderly points, lines and surfaces. In seemingly simple pictures, the pursuit of the unity and change of rhythm and rhythm, giving full play to the expressive force of decorative arts, are mostly used in print advertising design. (3) Modern pen drawing techniques 1. The pen is light in color. Pen pastel is a common form of expression in pen drawing. On the basis of pen-and-ink painting, the picture that emphasizes the relationship between black and white has a certain color tendency. It should be noted that the pen line in the pen pastel is the main modeling method of the picture, while the pastel painting is the supplement to the picture, that is to say, the pen draft should be drawn relatively completely and accurately before the pastel painting. 2. Rubbing technique of pen-and-ink painting. This technique is mostly used to decorate the picture. The required shape (pattern) is carved into the required pattern on the material (rubber or radish, etc.). ) Use a meat cleaver. After being dipped in ink and printed on the screen, there will be unexpected decorative effects. 3. Mixed rendering method of pen lines and brushes. Dilute the ink, adjust it to a black color of three or four, put it into various bottles, label it, and suck it into several pens at the same time. In the process of painting, from shallow to deep, step by step, completely breaking the traditional black-and-white polarized picture effect, which has both the delicate feeling of pencil sketch and the straight feeling of pen drawing. 4. Scratch technique of pen drawing. It is the use of cleaning at the end of the picture, which plays the role of whitening and scraping the edge of the picture. (4) Special painting 1. Use a brush like a pen. Drawing with a brush dipped in ink is a simple method. Although strictly speaking, it can't be considered as pen drawing, it has many advantages. Brush bristles are softer and more elastic, and can be used on the surface of almost any material to make the picture more uniform. 2. Pen and brush are used together. Bifurcated brush and dry pen: Because the brush or brush used to draw this kind of painting is by no means completely flat, in fact, the brush is only partially flat. Generally speaking, as long as the paper is rough enough, each stroke will have such an interesting effect, a texture effect, and a jitter and vibration effect. When used with a pen, it can achieve miraculous effects. 3. pens and pencils. There may be a lack of harmony between pens and pencils. This is partly because the pencil lines are a little shiny and the real color is silver gray. Pencils usually give people a soft feeling, and you can incorporate some powerful and rough lines. There are many ways to practice pen drawing. We must pay attention to learning methods and strengthen the training of basic skills of sketch, so we can learn pen-and-ink painting well. Brief introduction of children's pen-drawing pen-drawing is a painting method that shows different light and dark blocks through the combination of dotted lines and various flat lines, forming the overall tone and layering of the picture. Simply put, it has four forms of expression: one is the way of line drawing with pen, that is, line modeling; One is to express the hierarchical relationship between light and shade and the three-dimensional sense and space sense of objects such as black, white and gray through the combination of flat lines of pen lines, that is, the modeling of light and shade blocks; One is to combine dots of different sizes to express the spatial sense, three-dimensional sense, light sense and other effects of objects, that is, point-to-surface modeling, which gives people a hard and rough decorative beauty; The other is the combination of line and surface between the two. The most expensive thing is that pen drawing is simple and the cost is low. Whether it is indoor painting or going out to sketch and collect creative materials, adults and children can draw as long as they have a pen, a notebook and a pad. Another feature of pen-and-ink painting is that the lines are smooth, clear and vivid, the contrast between black and white is strong, the light and shade are distinct, and the image description is fine and simple, so it is easy to use and especially popular with children. Looking back, it is mainly a step-by-step method to guide the introduction of children's pen drawing. My specific approach has three points: ① From simple to complex. That is to say, starting from drawing simple objects, we mainly summarize the objects in life into circles, squares and triangles to practice; After a period of time, it will transition to painting more complex combination forms; Here, we should pay special attention to choosing the things that children are most familiar with, such as round fruits, vegetables, flowers, sports and other tools; There are handkerchiefs, computers, bags, books, houses and furniture in the square. Triangle has leaves, vehicles and boats, bridges and so on. The combination forms are trees, flowers, buildings, cars and boats, etc. As long as we pay attention to the inexhaustible material in life, we can imagine and exaggerate. ② From static to dynamic. Generally speaking, I start with drawing still objects and write slowly. Such as: daily necessities, cultural and sports supplies, trees, flowers and plants, buildings, etc. , so as to gradually transition to drawing dynamic characters or animals, drawing regular repetitive movements; Such as cattle, horses, dogs, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and other animals, stimulate children's interest in learning, increase the difficulty, and cultivate children's observation and imagination. Such as: reading and writing in study, extracurricular activities, spring outing, loving birds, planting trees, cultural activities and so on. Various scenes of school life. In short, we can draw children's favorite and familiar people and things in their daily life. Only by repeating the training methods from simple to complex and from static to dynamic can we lay a good foundation for sketch practice, imagination and creation. ③ Combination of sketch and dictation. In other words, after the child has a certain basic skill of pen drawing training, he will focus on guiding the child into the sketch stage.

I hope I can help you.
