Self-study notes on geometric body sketch

With the help of the magical Netease Cloud class, Xiao Yan finally began to learn sketch.

Before starting his study, Xiao Yan bought the following tools from the omnipotent Taobao under the guidance of his future painter brother:

Easel, sketchpad, eraser, sketch pencil, sketch paper, eraser pen, pencil extender, pencil sharpener, sketch Spray Fixative.

Sketchpad I have prepared two wooden sketchpads and picture clips. Seeing the great gods say that sketching is the fastest and most effective way to improve painting skills, I bought a picture folder in case I went out to write something on a whim (haha, beautiful idea).

After listening to my brother, I prepared 2B, 3B, 5B, 6B, 8B, 10B to create different light and shadow effects.

Pencil Sharpener Don't buy a pencil sharpener. When sketching, the pen tip will be cut longer and the pencil sharpener will not come out.

Sketch Spray Fixative. Spraying it on the picture can ensure the clarity of the picture, prolong the fading time and help to preserve the painting. The paintings drawn in this way can be taken out from time to time in the future to sum up the shortcomings and improve the progress.

In order to avoid the suspicion of advertising, I won't write about brands and shops. If necessary, you can ask me privately.

Learning sketch, the correct way to hold the pen is the first step in learning.

There are two correct pen-holding postures in sketch, namely, holding a stick and holding a pen.

How to hold the pen: put the pencil on the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger, and then press it with your thumb. Generally, the position of holding the pen is in the middle or the back half of the pen. Also known as holding a pen, as shown in the upper left picture.

Hard part: when painting, the fingers move less, press the pen with the strength of the wrist, and swing the wrist and elbow up and down and left and right to control the direction range of painting.

Features and skills: mainly use the side of the pen, suitable for drafting, shaping or laying the tone. Line paving or cutting, this method is often used in the case of large painting area. Most of the lines drawn on the side are dotted lines, which are convenient for later modification or covering. You can draw thick, round and full lines to create a richer sense of hierarchy.

When using the grip method, the included angle between the pen and the screen is about 35 degrees. Do not touch the screen with your hands and wrists. If it is difficult to grasp, you can use the little finger as the support point, as shown in the lower left of the above picture, or you can naturally draw lines up and down with your wrist.

Holding a pen: the same as holding a pen when writing. Also called triangular pen grip, as shown in the upper right of the picture above.

Hard part: the hard part depends on fingers and wrists, and the range of motion is small. The middle joint of the little finger and the wrist are used as support points, as shown in the lower right of the above picture. It is said that students who often sketch have been grinding cocoons in these two parts.

Features and skills: Painting with a pen tip is generally used to describe parts in the later stage of painting. Be sure to sharpen the pencil and draw smaller and more accurate lines.

Ribbon cable is the basis of sketch.

The most beautiful sketch of a flat line is that the two ends are light and the middle is heavy. A good flat line will make the work more successful. As shown in the figure:

The most beautiful line of the flat cable is still not drawn well, so it needs more contact. Do you draw well?

There are four correct ways to sketch cable arrangement:

1. Smooth parallel cable arrangement: orderly smooth cable arrangement, as shown in the figure:

2. Overlapping line arrangement: The first method is to draw multiple times in an area, that is, after one line arrangement, the lines are overlapped twice or three times, and then the lines are almost invisible and become a complete color block. As shown in the figure:

3. Staggered arrangement of cables: After the first row of cables is drawn, the second row of cables in different directions are laid on it, and the direction between two times is the best diamond, which is in harmony with the overall picture.

4. Twisted ribbon cable: The form of ribbon cable is close to the shape and structure of the object, which can better shape the shape of the object. So far, Xiao Yan has found that it will be used when painting the background of objects, and the others have yet to be further studied and discovered by ZSZSZSZ.

Finally, to sum up, ribbon cable is the most widely used form of expression while sketching. Mastering the pen may not be able to draw a good cable, but you can't draw a good cable without holding the pen. So you should practice more and learn more about ribbon cable. When drawing staggered cables, don't draw cross cables and hook cables, which will have a bad effect. A good cable arrangement can help make the sketch close to a higher level.
