In the process of copying, think about what is good about this painting, whether it is color matching, composition, or style characteristics, so that it can be used for reference in the future.

When learning illustrations, you can collect and select different types of illustrations for classification, and then choose a direction you are interested in, so that the learning effect will be better.

Introduction of hand-drawn illustrations The introduction of hand-drawn illustrations is as follows:

The foundation of hand-drawn illustration: Sketch foundation is the stepping stone and cornerstone of all art and painting. I started as a sketch student. If they have a good sketch foundation, they can draw, create and express smoothly. Four basic sketches: black, white and gray proportion, sense of volume, sense of space and sketch practice. Copying is a shortcut, but copying should not be described blindly, but should be interpreted and described in combination with knowledge structure.

Painting steps: handle the relationship between black, white and gray in the whole picture. Create a sense of volume, pay attention to the relationship between emptiness and emptiness, adjust the relationship between emptiness and emptiness, and pay attention to the objects in front.

Scientific hand-drawn illustration training methods: first, sketch, a large number of sketch exercises, enhance their muscle memory, exercise observation ability; Secondly, the cartoon line drawing turns the line drawing into the instinct of the hand, so that the hand can be drawn before the brain reacts, so that the line will pass; Finally, watercolor practice, watercolor can exercise our color matching ability and enhance color sense, which will be of great help to the drawing of hand-drawn illustrations in the later period.

Key points of hand-drawn illustration: When we draw a character, if we don't have a thorough understanding of the structure, it may be ok to keep an action, but once we draw it, the structure of the character may be deformed, so we should practice the skills of the character.

We can grasp the structure by sketching. First of all, according to the figure painting, draw different angles and grasp the key frames. After mastering it, you can try to draw different movements yourself to increase the difficulty of practice and try to understand it thoroughly. Learning hand-drawn illustrations must keep a normal mind.

How to prepare the illustration portfolio, from the first draft to the completion of the illustration professional portfolio?

1, determine the theme

When you decide to prepare a portfolio, all kinds of ideas may appear in your mind, but all your ideas cannot be reflected in the portfolio. Therefore, students need to choose the most interesting and core points according to what they are best at.

In other words, choose specific topics as much as possible, rather than abstract and broad topics. Too broad a theme is often not conducive to your next creation, and later creation is not easy to control.

2. Preliminary investigation

Speak with facts and show with data. After determining the theme of the portfolio, students should use various channels to collect information. You can go to official website to consult or refer to books. It is necessary for qualified students to ask their seniors and sisters. However, it should be noted that while collecting a lot of inspiration materials and divergent thinking, it is also necessary to systematically integrate the information collected by the investigation.

3. Inspiration transformation

Illustration involves a wide range, and in the process of creation, it will involve the use of various elements. In the first two steps, the direction of the portfolio has been roughly determined. In this step, it is necessary to transform inspiration, refine important elements, and make a concrete deliberation on the content of the story according to the previously determined theme, and refine each part as much as possible. In this process, we should also constantly refer to the information collected in the previous period.

Draw more sketches and take more pictures. Pay more attention to some websites, such as some domestic art bloggers, foreign websites such as viemo and nowness, and many fashion-related websites.

Step 4 draw a sketch

Sketch painting will lay an important foundation for your own satisfactory writing, which is extremely critical in the creative process. The composition, tone, style, elements and the arrangement of the relationship between elements of the work will be basically finalized in this step.

5. Manuscript creation

With the previous sketch as the blueprint, it is relatively easy to create this part. This part only needs to be planned and implemented carefully. After finishing the picture according to the sketch, pay attention to the steps in the drawing process. First determine the position and area of blank and coloring, then tile the color, and then describe the details.

6. Final typesetting

After all the projects are completed, the Bronze Beard Gate needs to typeset the portfolio. Some students like typesetting after completing a project, while others like typesetting after completing all projects. However, no matter which typesetting method, the ultimate goal is to make the work perfectly presented. However, in the process of typesetting, we must put the theme, style and logic throughout the whole portfolio typesetting.
