In our tutorial a while ago, we once told you that many commercial projects usually take one month, such a short time , it is impossible to give you a long time to describe some details in detail. At this time, pasting materials is a very effective method. We also have a saying called "half P and half painting".

In many conceptual designs, this method is also frequently used, especially sometimes when designers want to determine whether it is appropriate to add trees or buildings to a certain place, but it is too time-consuming to draw it directly. time, just take it directly from the photo at this time

Illustrations, also known as illustrations, are illustrations drawn in the form of hand-drawing, mouse-drawing and computer board drawing. They have different styles due to their wide range of uses. The film, television, animation and game industries are called CG illustrations, which are widely used in Design industry, film, television, animation, and game industries.

Illustrations use pictures to express image, life and appeal. The main difference from graphic design can be simply understood as "illustrations focus more on telling stories rather than attracting attention." Illustration is also a form of visual expression art, which mainly includes three categories: photography/painting/three-dimensional illustration. Illustration has a specific status in the art field and is closely related to the publishing industry. It is required for both e-books and physical books.

The basic standard for learning illustration whether it is reliable or not: whether there is a trial class.

There are indeed many places to learn illustration now, and they are all mixed up. This makes many students confused. How should they choose? There is a saying that it is not possible to just say it. To practice fake tricks and judge how good a learning place is, you must at least check out the other person’s strength first, and the trial class is to see where the other person’s strength is best, and at the same time see how the quality of the course is. If you don’t even have the trial class If the teaching is not good, then the other classes will be useless. And if you choose to study, you should choose a big school, so that you are guaranteed.

If you don’t know where to look, you can go to the online class I studied before. That’s where I studied. Every night at 8 o’clock, a master painting teacher will give a free live broadcast on illustration boards. The painting course is online. The teacher’s lectures are easy to understand and humorous. He can also explain the painting techniques that trouble everyone in a simple and clear way. Watching the teacher’s video is much better than reading a book. One class can solve many of your problems. You can also learn about the development issues of the entire industry. Anyway, it is free, so you can listen to it. The lectures in the evening will not delay your work or study during the day. Students who want to listen can enter Weixin (homophone):

Since students like to learn board drawing and illustration, then give it a try and give yourself a chance. Only by trying can you know whether you are the material, instead of always wandering around in your inner world and wasting your talents. It is irresponsible to oneself.

The earliest illustrations in China appeared in the form of prints. With the introduction of Buddhist culture, "disguised" illustrations of scriptures were used in scriptures to promote doctrines. Current historical records record the earliest printmaking work in my country, the "Dharani Sutra Mantra" published during the reign of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty. The exact date is recorded on the title page of the "Vajra Prajna Sutra" written in the ninth year of Emperor Yizong's Xiantong reign (868).

In the Song, Jin and Yuan dynasties, book illustrations made great progress. The scope of application expanded to medical books, historical geography books, archaeological catalogs, daily encyclopedias and other books, and color overprinted illustrations appeared. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it can be said that ancient illustration art developed greatly, and there was a book engraving industry all over the country. Different regions have developed different styles.
