Picture in Picture-How to draw a photo into an illustration?

What's the difference between illustrations and comics in painting? Illustration is unique, rigorous and pursuing perfection, while comics are a whole chapter, and a whole comic does not require perfection. Illustrators should pay attention to many things if they want to draw illustrations well. How to draw photos into illustrations? This time I painted my relatives and friends. She is a super beautiful girl and a great photographer. The final picture is as follows: Let's share the tutorial of drawing relatives and friends! First of all, to draw an image, a character must have her own characteristics. The eyes of relatives and friends are round and big, and they are all lovely girls' faces. Of course, generally speaking, you can also draw cartoon faces, and use clothes and hairstyles to reflect the characteristics of relatives and friends. The easiest way is to ask friends and relatives to send you a nice photo! The photo is in the ginkgo forest in the park, and friends and relatives are smiling at a leaf, which is very warm and fresh. Graphic WordPad (WacomCTL 67 1)+Photoshop software draft is a quick summary of what you want to express. This manuscript summarizes a girl with short hair wearing a beret, a black sweater and white trousers, and a ginkgo leaf in her hand. At this time, we should also know the style of the whole picture and express a warm feeling. Brush is ps's own hard edge ring pressure. Reduce the brush size, create a new layer on the draft layer, and check the draft. The draft is a quick record of the overall feeling, and the line draft should consider some details. Spread out a large color block and set the color tone of the painting. In order to highlight the warm feeling, I imagined a warm yellow-brown illustration. I like to use this uniform adjacent color very much. The harmonious picture is not easy to make mistakes, and it is also very suitable for novices. Considering the influence of the environment on the inherent color, in this warm color painting, the black sweater and black hair are actually represented by brown, and the white pants are light. Carefully depict the details of the characters. I thought the face was not cute enough, the color was too heavy and the face was too sharp, so I made a modification and refined the clothes. A lazy person like me must be good at using the copy-and-paste solution. Draw two ginkgo biloba, and the rest is copy and paste+free transformation (CTRL+T), and a large piece of ginkgo biloba is drawn. There is a detailed introduction in the previous article, so I won't repeat it here. Draw the light and shadow of the tree with the soft-angle brush that comes with ps, and draw the fuzzy ginkgo tree shadow on the background casually. Drop a dark gradient on the canvas. Feel free to do some highlights for the characters, which is also a soft corner brush. Draw a few beams of light with a soft angle brush. Create a new layer on top of all layers, fill it with brown, set the mode to "Overlay", and adjust the opacity according to your feeling. This step is to further unify the tone. Finally, add words and signatures, and the painting is finished. Friends and relatives are very happy to receive it ~ Put a process animation to sum up: Please poke all my painting tutorial articles: How to draw hand-drawn illustrations in the painting tutorial directory? What materials are needed? First, how to draw

1, geometric sketch modeling training.

We should start with geometry such as cube, circle and combination. Only by understanding geometry can we simplify some complicated things and draw them more easily. It is difficult for students to master the shape, proportion and perspective of geometry in the initial stage, and it is easy to draw deformation, which requires a lot of practice and comparative study and revision among students.

2, the study of stick figure.

Similar to comics, it is relatively easy to master. In the teaching process, firstly, the teacher arranges students to draw a simple illustration of characters and send some information about the five senses, head, feet and hands to the students for reference. Secondly, in the process of painting, students find that the hand is a difficult part to draw. Teachers use the knowledge of structure to explain, and use the methods of picture appreciation and painting demonstration to let students understand the structure of joints.

3. Sketch training. Use simple lines to train the characters' scenes simply and enrich their own library materials. After these basic trainings, figure painting becomes difficult, especially the expression of background or content. Teachers demonstrate and comment one by one, so that students can understand, accept and solve problems faster, and the future design and creation will be much easier, laying a solid foundation for hand-drawn illustrations.

Second, materials.

1. Hand-drawn pen: drawing pencil, mechanical pencil, stylus and signature pen. These pens are the most commonly used tools when drawing the first draft of a design.

2. Drawing instruments: ruler, T-square, curve ruler, tape measure, magnifying ruler, graduated ruler, triangular plate, cutting ruler, universal plotter, compasses, etc. Drawing tools should be accurate, precise and high-quality products, and small errors are good drawing tools.

3. Coloring equipment: palette, tray, pen washing, color label, etc.

4. Hand-painted tools: paper cutters, various art knives, carving knives and adhesive tapes.

Extended data:

Illustration is an art form. As an important visual communication form of modern design, it occupies a specific position in modern design with its intuitive image, true sense of life and beautiful appeal. It is widely used in many fields of modern design, involving cultural activities, social public utilities, commercial activities, film and television culture and so on.

The development of illustration art has a long history. From the world's oldest illustration cave mural to the Japanese folk print ukiyo-e painting in the Edo period, all of them show the development of illustration. Illustrations first developed with the changes of newspapers and books in the early19th century.

Its real golden age began in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. At that time, the illustrations just separated from art works were obviously drawn, and most of the authors engaged in illustrations were professional painters. Later, influenced by the school of abstract expressionism, they turned from concrete to abstract. It was not until the 1970s that illustrations returned to the realistic style.
