Concept of painting creation

First, determine the central theme.

Second, confirm the elements (Lenovo creation method, extract the elements)

Third, composition (find nine compositions)

Four. sketch

Character analysis (look for pictures online and know what to draw according to the theme)

First, the stick figure (analysis of characters' trends) —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Second, volume (geometry is based on stick figures, drawing people's faces in perspective and other shapes) ———————————————— geometry.

Third, draw a big dynamic (sketch) within a range ———————————————————————— sketch.

Fourth, refine the sketch (the transparency of the original layer is reduced, and the new sketch uses the plane style to draw round eyes)-fine grass.

Architecture (the center of the Forbidden City is symmetrical, with 8070 rooms, Hall of Supreme Harmony, Hall of Zhonghe and Hall of Baohe)

1. Hall of Supreme Harmony (double-eaved Ding Dian, the most advanced, complete in ten forms, with high status)

2. Zhonghe Hall (there are seven chiropractors here, and the resting place before the emperor's ceremony is square in the air).

3. Baohe Hall (resting at the top of the double eaves, with 9 small animals next to it)

Ancient gyro

First place: Double eaves Dai Dingdian (an important Buddhist temple, the main hall of the palace, symbolizing dignity)

Second place: Double-eaves Xieding Mountain (palace, garden, altar and temple style)

Fifth place: hanging from the top of the mountain (folk, god chef, god library. Spread to East Asia, Japan, etc. )

Sixth place: Hard Peak (Guangdong Folk House)

Seventh place: rolling shed

Eighth place: Hengjianjiao (pavilions)

distant view

1. Parallel perspective (a point)

2. Perspective

Line drawing method

1. Draw lines, (pen tool to draw architecture, which is more detailed, and select tools-editing, stroke, hard brush)

2. Half of the architectural paintings are mirror images.

Basic principles of color (scope of use, online rgb, offline cmyk)

The first is the three primary colors of color and light (red, green and blue)

Second, the three primary colors of pigments (cyan (lake blue), red (magenta) and yellow (lemon yellow)).

Saturation capacity

light

colour

Complementary colors (included in contrast colors): Rayna Sue, blue orange, red and green, impact force 180.

Contrast color: 120- 180.

Similar color: similar color, 30, such as lemon yellow and medium yellow.

Cold/warm colors

Cold and warm are relative, there is no absolute cold and warm color.

Cool colors: cold, cold, serene, immersed, steady and negative.

Warm colors: warm, fiery, warm, bright and lively (catering industry, bread)

The relationship between color and human psychology (1)

1. Light is closer than dark.

2. High brightness (light and soft) and low brightness (heavy and advanced)

3. Warm colors with high purity (excitement) and cool colors with high purity (calmness)

4. High purity and lightness (gorgeous), low purity and lightness (simple) (emperors and civilians)

The Relationship between Color and People's Psychology (2)

1. The feeling of the same color and contrast color

Same color collocation: soft, orderly, harmonious and warm.

Contrast color collocation: visual impact, excitement and stimulation

2. Cold and warm color feeling

Cold colors: serene, calm, steady and negative.

3. Lightness

Mastery: relaxed and lively.

Low lightness: calm and steady.

4. Sense of purity

High purity: gorgeous

Low purity: soft and elegant.

5. Color lightness and lightness sense

Slightly high (under the same volume): lighter and swollen.

Light (under the same volume): heavier, smaller.

Style characteristics of Guo Chao's illustrations The style characteristics of Guo Chao's illustrations are as follows:

1. Common illustrations in national tide style, with rich and delicate lines, even colors and low saturation. The overall Chinese style is heavy but exquisite and durable, with a wider scope of application.

There are many lines in the picture, but the lines will be thinner. Basically, lines are used as bones to shape every object, and the overall color is more unified.

3. Lines are an important part, and the number of lines determines the fineness of your picture.

4. A picture has 1-3 general color systems to form an illustration.

5. The color is not fixed, but it can be light and bright, paying more attention to the performance of ink painting and the paper texture of the picture to reflect the characteristics of Chinese style.

6. Creating with the texture of rice paper or kraft paper background will give people a stronger Chinese flavor, and the background will be treated with ink.

7. Some colors in the picture are antique, the overall color is less, the saturation is lower, some are gorgeous, and the saturation is higher, but the overall color is not too much, and there is a general color range. You should control the number of your own colors.

National tide style illustration is an illustration that combines Chinese style elements with trend elements, and uses Chinese style elements to draw people and things that appear. The color matching, composition and elements of the picture should have obvious Chinese flavor.

What is Guo Chao's illustration of Guo Chao? Literally, it can be understood as the trend culture with national characteristics in China. The characteristics of "national tide" are mainly manifested in two points. First, the core is traditional culture, and second, it has a sense of fashion when it is integrated with the current trend.

"Tide brand" is the refinement, deconstruction and reorganization of a certain cultural element, with the coat of the brand as the carrier. Meet contemporary young people's pursuit of culture and fashion. With Chinese people's confidence in China's traditional culture, "national tide" has become the darling of young people in recent years. Where is the "national tide"?

Street brand originated from American street culture. Stucy and Supreme are the most representative brands. Stussi's signature is the epitome of graffiti culture in 1970s. Supreme is paying tribute to skateboarding culture.

In the 1990s, the United States came to Japan. The collision between Asian introversion and this trend has produced a chemical reaction, which is represented by the appearance of "Japanese tide" tooling. On the one hand, the widespread popularity of American tide and Japanese tide stems from the pioneering and individual design style, on the other hand, it also stems from the brand's profound understanding and manifestation of the local cultural connotation. It can be seen that a mature Guo Chao brand must be avant-garde and unique externally, which can capture the appetite of the younger generation, but its core is also deep and heavy, which cannot be separated from the cultural genes that have been precipitated for thousands of years. Culture can not only inspire the voices of national individuals, but also give brand value and make the cold design symbols come alive.

The Application of National Tide in Illustration

The style characteristics of Guo Chao's illustrations: using China elements combined with popular techniques to express modern people and things. The color matching, composition and elements of the picture have a strong Chinese style.

Types of national tide illustrations: thin line type and rough graffiti type.

A- thin line type

1. Composition: Flowing clouds and flowing water, this kind of illustration mostly uses auspicious clouds and tides to divide the picture. The picture is blank, the artistic conception is outstanding, and there will be a sense of Chinese painting.

2. Color: Mo Landi, with small color span and relatively low saturation. The overall tone of the picture generally adopts adjacent colors, such as red, orange and blue-green tones.

3. Technique: The technique of painting Chinese painting with gold powder increases the modernity of the picture. Thin lines will increase the fineness of the picture.

Elements: auspicious clouds, tides, green hills, traditional patterns, lanterns, etc.

Representative illustration: Victo Ngai.

For some novices, I recommend copying the works of Victo Ngai and China Daily, which are worthy of our patient study and consideration in terms of composition and color.

Another exaggerated national fashion style is the combination of street graffiti and China elements.

B- graffiti type

1. composition: the theme is prominent and there is no clear requirement. Generally similar to graffiti style, the picture will be much fuller.

2. Color: high saturation and strong contrast, and the color is also controlled at 1-3.

3. Techniques: thick lines+bright colors+exaggerated modeling

Elements: auspicious clouds, tides, green hills, traditional patterns, lanterns, etc.
