Introduction to Hand-painted Illustration in Japan —— How to Learn Hand-painted Illustration Based on Zero?

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 fluently. 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: If we don't have a thorough understanding of the human body structure when drawing characters, it may be ok to keep an action, but once we want to draw the human body dynamics, the structure of the characters may be deformed, so we should practice the human body of the characters.

We can grasp the structure of the human body 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, increase the difficulty of practice and try to understand the human body thoroughly. Learning hand-drawn illustrations must keep a normal mind.

How to learn hand-drawn illustrations on a zero basis? First, set the theme.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. At first, we should set a theme. We can use a specific theme to give a direction to creation, so that the threshold for starting is lower and we will not give up at the beginning. Later, I began to try abstract themes. Find your favorite theme and make yourself more motivated. Daily necessities, office supplies, transportation, food, plants, animals, things that can be touched immediately around, and so on.

Second, composition

There are many ways to compose a composition. If the composition is suitable for the theme or the content conveyed, then the composition will affect the presentation of the theme.

Third, color matching.

In fact, it is very interesting to match complementary colors or contrasting colors. As long as the proportion is well distributed, great achievements can be made. All the colors in the picture are not evenly distributed, let alone compare the depth, chroma and lightness of the colors. But think about these colors. What color will they go with? The more conspicuous it is in the contrast relationship, the smaller its proportion will be.

Fourth, the atmosphere, feelings

After trying several times to create and practice, start to follow your feelings! Sometimes you can try to create aimlessly, draw whatever you want, and it's fun to combine or violate the physical principles! At this time, we should boldly inject more imagination. In fact, in the later stage, you can draw whatever you want, sometimes it's just a feeling, or an unspeakable feeling, or a picture in a dream.

The above is the related content of hand-drawn illustration. Today I want to talk about the practice of illustration design direction. With visual design, we can create illustrations that conform to the style and dedicate them to you who have a design foundation.

How to learn hand-drawn illustration from scratch, read more master works, copy more, and learn color composition plane composition.

To learn illustration, you must first have a solid painting foundation and be familiar with structure, color and software (Photoshop, Painter). Then if you want to go to illustration, you should specialize in that aspect, draw more, practice more, think more and see more. I believe you should understand.

Illustrator is a career with high returns and broad prospects. Illustrator positions involve comics, film and television, animation, publishing, education, games, advertising and other industries. Most illustrators earn a lot of money. In large and medium-sized foreign companies, senior original game designers can earn up to 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month, and ordinary artists can earn between 4,000 and 8,000 yuan. In 2007, the works of professional illustrators can already be bought for tens of thousands of yuan, which is a relatively normal price.

Traditional illustrators usually refer to drawing pictures for articles and magazines, similar to popular novels and magazines now, or Japanese light novels. Now this situation has changed a long time ago. Picture books published by artists are as popular as bookstores, and illustrations are no longer attached to words, so what he conveys is more extensive. Now CG illustrators mainly use computers to draw pictures, and the pictures they draw have a sense of design and avant-garde. Mainly for fashion digital magazine books design with pictures or free creation, the nature of work is similar to graphic design. I just asked my teacher yesterday that "digital illustration" has not been offered in domestic universities, so it is ok to learn graphic design. Because there is not a great demand for this kind of illustration in China, the employment scope of digital illustration is relatively narrow, and graphic design is actually covered. But there are many students who specialize in this major in Britain, and many art universities also offer it. This is an avant-garde profession.

I don't know what kind of illustrator you are talking about. In fact, I think the above two are also * * * connected, but the creative style and object-oriented are different, and the essence is the same, that is, you must be able to draw and be creative.

This is a picture taken from another address, which basically introduces the nature and matters needing attention of illustrations. Where to start? Draw more structural drawings, read more excellent illustrations and think more about the techniques in the works. Now I can go to work in the illustrator's company. It's no problem to be an intern. You should improve yourself. When you get used to illustration, consider changing your working environment.
