Appreciation of illustration works This is a very excellent work. On the whole, the color matching is reasonable, with strong visual impact, but not greasy. Compared with the strong Rayna Sue, green helps to reduce the impact on the eyes. This proves that the author has a good sense of color and control ability. The bracket is decorated with green vines, yellow and green, which echoes the main object above. However, the stent is slightly monotonous and somewhat "distracting". It is suggested to use other painting pigments to make changes to reduce visual impact; In addition, the vine decoration is too fine, so it can be decorated more. The stones and other things below are too scattered, giving people a messy feeling. You can add some content to the main part above, otherwise those branches will look messy. You can modify them according to your personal needs. I wish you success in summarizing and appreciating several types of illustration styles. Some people like watching TV dramas, others like watching variety shows, and I like watching paintings. A good work will show you the world built by the artist. Through this painting, you have a different imagination of the world. There are many beautiful things you haven't found. This is the beauty brought by illustration and the reason why I love painting very much. As a non-professional, based on my recent painting experience, I made a small summary of several kinds of illustrations. Just like studying notes, I hope we can learn something from these excellent illustrations. * Plane style: All the elements in the painting look flat and consist of simple shapes and lines, but the colors are very rich and harmonious. The clothes of the characters have a strong sense of cloth, which is a bit like a tapestry. Various elements are composed of simple geometric shapes, and some small lines are supplemented by embellishments. The expression of light makes simple geometric figures present a more realistic scene. The lines are outlined with granular pencil lines, which makes the picture full of childlike interest. * Rock color style: Rock color painting generally refers to all artistic works with mineral color as the main tone. In my opinion, the works in rock color style are very textured. In order to achieve different painting effects, traditional rock-and-roll works are mostly pasted with gold foil or silver foil on paper. The following works should be computer-drawn, but they also reach the rock-and-roll style. According to observation, most of the works in rock color style are dominated by gold, black, red, sapphire blue and other main colors, which are very similar to Dunhuang murals. * Semi-realistic style: three-dimensional characters, close to realism, and strong clothing texture. The picture below shows the works of Taiwan Province talented woman illustrator De Dezhen (deceased). I especially like the illustrations of Dezhen series. The characters' eyes are emotional and their costumes are gorgeous and complicated. The background has the texture of rock painting. The picture below shows the works of Zhang, the first painter in China who won the gold medal in the international comic contest. Successful illustrators' works have distinct personal characteristics. Just like this work, Zhang's illustration has a certain feeling of meticulous painting, but it also has a three-dimensional sense of CG painting. Her color tends to be big red, and the characters in the paintings usually show arrogant and indifferent attitude. I remember that the cover of Scarer, my favorite magazine in college, was a picture, all in this style. * Clear style: The picture below shows the work of my favorite illustrator "Fat Snake". Her blog is called "Fat Snake Wonderland", which should be the title. Her works are clear and full of light, presenting a beautiful and mysterious fairy tale world, with many elements such as little girls, fairies and small animals, which should really be a fairyland. Her paintings have a delicate and fluffy texture, perhaps relying on tiny and hazy lines. The colors are mostly light brown, light green and light. If you like her works, you can search "Fat Snake Wonderland" on the Internet to see other similar works. The picture below is similar to the style of a fat snake, and the overall picture presents a clear and warm feeling. This painting is a watercolor painting, unlike the last one, which has many tiny lines. The characteristic of watercolor painting is that the fluidity of pigment is easier to form rich colors. A good work must be rich and uniform in color. For example, this painting has no trace of light, but it makes you feel that it is in a very bright room. This is the success of color application. There are many wonderful illustrations, too numerous to mention. I hope everyone can see more, draw more and think more, improve their painting level as soon as possible and create their own works. The design of illustration shows how to write a sentence and simply summarize the theme: who is doing what where?
When you have determined the theme, you can also determine the style you want to paint according to the theme, and then you can start to conceive your painting. Here we will mention the knowledge about the elements of illustration.
For example:
The theme to be expressed is: One evening, a little girl trapped in a mysterious castle is about to escape.
After determining such a theme, you can also determine the style you want to paint. Since it is a story of planning to escape, I chose the dark style to express it.
First of all, starting with the characters, I chose a little girl and added the role of crow to set off the tension of the picture. The fall of crow feathers also indicates that the little girl is ready to escape. In this painting, I chose people+animals to match.
You can choose people+people, people+animals and animals+animals to reflect the role of human classification. That is, the living thing in the picture.
After the characters are determined, it is the scene. Scene refers to the content except characters in the picture, including still life and background.
The light reflected from the castle under the moon at night reflects the tension in the dark style. Then add some pictures in the foreground of the picture to fill the vacancy of the picture, and the whole picture will be perfect!
