Copying materials for hand-painted beginners - how to quickly master the hand-painted copying skills of hand-painted renderings

A guide to getting started with markers (including hand-drawing materials suitable for novices)

Hello everyone, I am Ye Xiaohui, a wild hand-drawing expert^.^

In November, I would like to introduce to my friends the features of various hand-painting tools and entry-level equipment recommendations. They are absolutely heart-warming and great value for money! Why do you say that? Because everyone who knows me knows that hand-painting I have never been an "equipment person" but an "action person". Even for the most common and commonly used watercolor pens, I only buy entry-level 6-color or 12-color pens from a certain brand. Of course, I have bought cheap off-brand pens. Quite a few, so I know the difference.

If you are currently not sure that you want to learn hand-painting as a major or as a career, then my entry-level recommendations are a kind of "low-cost trial and error", but it is also very Maybe you fell into the trap of hand-painting while drawing!

Today, let’s talk about the existence of “markers” that people love and hate. My first few markers were bought from the university flea market. This is not an ordinary university, it is a university where more than 50% of the majors require markers! Haha, it is not an art university, but an architecture university. This is about the themes that markers are most commonly used to express: architecture, gardens, and interior design↓

Secondly, markers are often used to design anime characters, so markers are also used for animation and animation. A must-have hand-drawing tool for professional students:

Do you feel super cool and stylish? Yes, markers are not only bright, rich and textured, but can also express many details and blending.

According to different ink materials, markers are mainly divided into three categories: water-based markers, oil-based markers, and alcohol-based markers.

As the name suggests, water-based markers have inks that can be dissolved in water. After coloring and before the ink dries, use a pen dipped in water to smear on it, which can produce an effect similar to light colors↓

The ink of oil-based marker pens is not soluble in water. The ink is similar to oil painting solvents and has the characteristics of quick drying and Water and light resistant characteristics. It is generally a wide foaming pen tip with relatively soft strokes. Its color is full, but there are fewer types of colors. It is often used to draw POP posters↓

Alcohol-based markers and oil-based markers are more easily confused. The biggest difference is that they are not soluble in water. The difference is that it uses alcohol instead of the modulated oil in the ink, so it has the smell of alcohol, evaporates very quickly, and has strong penetration.

Because of its strong penetrating power, special paper is required for coloring with markers, or it can be used on special materials such as smooth porcelain surfaces, office whiteboards, and magnetic drawing boards. In fact, the original function of the marker pen is to "mark". English Marker and Internet language often say "Mark to live", which actually means "Mark to live" and mark the key points.

Color overlay is a technique commonly used with marker pens in the painting process. It can produce rich changes in the picture. It is generally divided into single color overlay, multiple overlay and multi-color single overlay.

Color mixing is the most commonly used and most difficult technique in marker painting, similar to the "overlay + gradient" in colored pencil painting. Due to the characteristics of the marker itself, it is relatively difficult for novices to draw natural mixed colors.

Speaking of this, you may think that markers are too professional and are tools only used by animation hand-drawing masters. In fact, this is not the case. Many bloggers and Instagram bloggers also like to draw with markers. Little cute, very suitable for copying practice, below I will share a large number of marker pen materials:

Little fairies who like clothing matching can refer to this set of materials:

Those who have a certain hand-drawing foundation can do so. Challenge this set of materials:

Isn’t it very cute~ In fact, I have learned from these materials, not all the techniques, but the drawing methods of eyes, hands and feet, clothing, and hair realization methods etc., used in the daily hand-painted creation process.

Finally, I would like to recommend the marker pen brand I use: TOUCH

It was originally a Korean brand, but the domestic ones are more cost-effective, so there are more people buying them, and they are also recommended to newcomers. Foolish friend. Warm reminder: If you have children at home, you must choose "water-soluble" (harder to master) or "oil-based" (recommended).

Although alcohol-based markers have many advantages in painting and presentation, their pungent alcohol volatile smell (in my opinion) is very detrimental to children’s health. Even if they are needed for professional painting, please pay attention after purchasing. Put (hide) it well, and don't let children get too close when painting.

I wish you all a happy drawing^.^ 200 pretty notebooks Minimalist hand-painted materials | The first one

Small illustrations are an indispensable embellishment for cute notebooks, and their cuteness is eye-catching.

For friends who have no painting skills, feel unable to start, and want to make a beautiful handbook, you can choose to start practicing with simple drawings~ You can also draw beautiful patterns with just a few simple strokes~

When browsing the works of handbook masters, you can copy the hand-drawn patterns you like in a drawing book and use them as your own material library. You can use them as a reference when you are struggling to make a handbook by yourself and have no material inspiration. , for novices in hand-painting, through repeated practice of copying, they will become more and more proficient, and slowly they will be able to find their own style.

When copying, don’t just draw patterns, add your own thinking, carefully observe every small object, and feel their appearance and characteristics. You don't have to strive to be exactly the same as the original painting, you can innovate in the details.

I have drawn 200 hand-drawn materials below, which are small patterns that I accumulated when looking at my handbook works~

How to quickly master the hand-drawn copying skills of hand-drawn renderings

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Similarly, for fast hand-drawn renderings, practice must be strengthened. Only when you are familiar with it can you master the skills and be able to move freely in drawing. Copying is one of the basic means of practicing fast expression. Copying can start with drawing. For beginners, it may be difficult to get started. At this time, you can start by using copy paper to draw on the model, slowly figure out and master the skills, and then transition to comparison after you are familiar with it. The stage where the model is drawn by oneself. Copying is very important for learning the technique of quick hand-drawing renderings. The objects of copying can be other people's renderings, or they can be photos in professional books, ranging from decorative expressions of large shopping malls and office buildings to small interior decorations. Furnishings and small decorative components can be used as objects for practice. Copying is also optional. Likewise, as long as you have paper and pen, and as long as you see good decorative works, you can practice anytime and anywhere. Below is the knowledge I bring to you on how to quickly master the hand-painted copying techniques of hand-painted renderings. Welcome to read.

1. Learn how to see:

You can learn how to see through copying. The first is to look at perspective processing; the second is to look at the author's design and expression techniques. The perspective processing of hand-drawn renderings is very critical. Whether the vanishing point is well chosen and whether the perspective angle is ideal or not are the key to the success or failure of a rendering. When copying other people's decorative works, you need to carefully figure out why the vanishing point is set in this way, the perspective angle is chosen in this way, and what benefits this processing has on the perspective, space and three-dimensional sense of the picture. When looking at photos of decoration examples, you can also try to figure out why the photographer took such a shooting angle, and what positive effect such angle has on the interpretation of indoor and outdoor spaces. In short, by trying to figure out perspective processing during copying, the practitioner's sense of perspective can be cultivated, the practitioner's ability to grasp the sense of space and three-dimensionality can be improved, thereby enhancing the ability to deal with perspective performance. In the process of copying, we should also carefully look at some of the author's decorative techniques in the work, such as the expression of different furnishings, different decorative components, and different decorative materials. The author's line organization, block conversion, and light and dark relationships in these places are How to deal with it and what is unique about it, these are the objects for us to learn. By learning from them, we can continue to accumulate our own experience. Therefore, for students majoring in decoration, "seeing" is very important. When copying, you must first learn to see, understand and understand.

2. Learn how to draw:

After understanding it, you still need to be able to draw. Hand Painting 100 believes that the purpose of copying is to learn how to draw and to exercise your ability to draw independently. The drawing of fast hand-drawn renderings first requires the author to correctly establish the vanishing point in the perspective relationship, find the perspective angle, and quickly and accurately draw the overall perspective effect of the picture. At this time, it is no longer possible to use the rules step by step like drawing ordinary renderings. The ruler slowly seeks the perspective relationship. If this is the case, the effect of rapid expression cannot be achieved. Therefore, to quickly draw the perspective effect, we must rely on the sense of perspective cultivated during daily training and copying, as well as the accumulated experience in the sense of space, three-dimensionality, etc. With the usual accumulation, we can achieve what we have in mind when writing. There are many people who can draw the perspective lines accurately even with bare hands, and can freely control the choice of perspective angles, express the effects they want to highlight at will, and achieve the pursuit of strong perspective effects. Another aspect of learning how to draw is to be good at using different expression techniques to express quickly, such as the organization of different lines, the processing of different light and shade, the expression of different materials, etc. This requires learning from other people's experiences through copying. Integrate everything and internalize what you have learned and practiced into your own experience accumulation, so that you can calmly adjust and use it freely when using it, and comprehensively use various techniques to show the best effect.

3. Solve the problems you have in your stomach:

As the saying goes: "If you read thousands of volumes, you will be inspired to write." The same is true for drawing quick hand-drawn renderings. It requires that there be something in the stomach first, that is, there must be materials. Through copying exercises, you can master two aspects of materials:

(1) Materials for drawing quick hand-drawn renderings, including characters, vehicles, indoor furniture, furnishings, hangings, murals, and commonly used greening materials. . To be proficient in drawing quick hand-drawn renderings, the pass requires you to be proficient in drawing some commonly used items and scenery in decorative renderings. For example, in terms of greening and scenery, you are required to be proficient in the painting methods of Bo Kui, Phoenix tail bamboo, Monstera deliciosa, Brasiliensis, etc. The drawing methods of more than ten kinds of green plants such as wood, and the methods of matching characters and vehicles require proficiency in the expression methods of more than ten kinds of characters and vehicles, so that they can be easily used when drawing quick hand-drawn renderings;

(2) Decorative design materials. Through copying, you can accumulate a lot of materials and experiences about decorative symbols, decorative elements, decorative details, decorative design techniques, etc., which can be used as practitioners in future decorative designs. The basic elements and sources of ideas enable practitioners to learn from the knowledge and experience of others, learn from the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought, and design their own ideal decorative works with ease.

4. Practice of spatial and proportional relationships:

Copying can also achieve the purpose of training spatial and proportional relationships. An excellent quick hand-drawn rendering requires the author to accurately handle the spatial relationship and proportional relationship between different objects, which requires the author to have good judgment and feeling for the size, proportional relationship and spatial position relationship of different objects. , the displayed objects cannot have too large proportion errors and spatial misalignments, otherwise the picture may be deformed or imbalanced, which is intolerable, and through copying, practitioners can improve their abilities in these aspects. Drawing Figure out accurate spatial and proportional relationships.

5. Treat copying as a means of lifelong learning:

Today’s concepts and techniques of interior, architecture, landscape design and expression are changing and developing rapidly, and new concepts and techniques are constantly being introduced. Emergence requires us to strengthen our study and keep up with the times. Copying can not only be used as an effective means of knowledge updating and information accumulation, but also an effective means of lifelong learning. The cloning of the latest professional development materials not only allows us to accumulate a large amount of new professional knowledge, but also allows us to maintain a good understanding of the subject. Tracking the latest professional development direction, maintaining the continuous exploration and innovation of new decoration concepts and methods, constantly innovating and developing in terms of decoration design and performance.
