How to draw a good landscape sketch? What should we pay attention to?

1. Be bold

2. Draw often. When you draw to a certain point, there will be a fuzzy period. At this time, you should think about it often and read a book.

3. To understand the important points of sketching 1. The smoothness of lines 2. Proportion. Dynamics. 3. The description of the objects drawn and what they are doing (that is, the dynamics) should also pay attention to the primary and secondary structures< /p>

Landscape sketch

Among all kinds of sketches, landscape sketches are less difficult because the natural scenery itself is relatively static. Except for changes in weather and time, the scenery will change. Except for the difference in yin and yang, as well as local changes such as wind and grass, ripples in water, natural objects themselves will not move in position, which gives us more time to choose the painting angle, determine the composition, depict and polish the painting. As long as you observe carefully and draw carefully, it is not very difficult to draw a good landscape sketch.

1. Methods and steps for landscape sketching

(1) Framing

Framing is an integral part of artistic labor, and its principle is the same as framing for photographers. The quality of the viewing angle is related to the success or failure of the picture effect. Inexperienced people can make a viewfinder by hand and use it to help observation and scene selection. They can clearly select the ideal angle and form a complete composition. The so-called ideal (or best) angle is, firstly, conducive to determining the object being painted, and secondly, it is conducive to determining the perspective of the picture.

To determine the object to be painted (that is, to determine the content and subject of the picture), you should choose the part of the scenery you want to paint most based on your own hobbies, interests and feelings. We must overcome the blindness of not paying attention to observation, lack of feeling, drawing when sitting down, and drawing whatever comes to mind. We should practice landscape sketching to achieve the two purposes of learning expression techniques and improving aesthetic ability.

After the angle is determined, the position of the eye level in the screen must be determined. When the eye level is in the middle of the picture, it is a head-up composition, when it is above the picture, it is a top-down composition, and when it is at the bottom of the picture, it is a look-up composition. The composition and image are different, and the effect and atmosphere of the picture are also different.

Determining the angle and perspective form is the conceptual stage before starting to paint. Sufficient conception is the fundamental guarantee for a good landscape painting.

(2) Composition

First, arrange the position of the line of sight and the outline of the main image. In order to focus on reflecting the main image, some secondary images can be omitted or their positions on the picture can be changed within a reasonable range to make the composition more ideal and the main image more prominent.

Landscape sketching can cultivate and reflect people's composition ability better than other forms of sketching. Drawing more landscape sketches can help you gain a deeper understanding of the different contrasting factors and formal beauty reflected in different compositions.

(3) Depiction

The focus of landscape sketching is the main image appearing in the picture. If there are close shots, middle shots and distant shots in the picture, then the close shots should be emphasized. Main image, medium shot second, long shot third. The mid-range and long-range shots should set off the close-range shots and enhance the atmosphere.

To draw the main image well, you must first understand its characteristics and strive to be aware of them. For example, when painting a mountain, you must first observe the height and distance of the mountain, as well as the structure of the valleys between the peaks, and also pay attention to the characteristics of whether it is a rocky mountain or an earthy mountain, so that you can paint concisely, accurately and vividly. Another example is when painting a tree, you must first grasp the basic shape and posture of the trunk, then grasp the growth position and direction of the branches, and then grasp the overall characteristics, image and growth pattern of the leaves. These three determine the structural image of the tree. Different tree species have different basic structural images and different growth patterns. By clarifying these differences, you can accurately draw the different images of trees of different types and seasons. No matter how picturesque the buildings are, the architectural images are diverse, including pavilions, platforms, towers, pavilions, etc. Due to different uses and different construction materials, their structural characteristics are also different. Of course, they also all have the same characteristics of balance and stability. If the basic structural features of a building are drawn incorrectly, it will lose its proper beauty, and if the perspective is drawn incorrectly, its image characteristics will be distorted.

There are various expression techniques for landscape sketching, and different expression techniques can be used according to different characteristics of the scenery; but no matter what technique is used, the sketch is mostly done in one go, from front to back, or from main to back. Complete the painting in one pass.

2. Basic expression techniques of landscape sketch

The first is the outline method, which is similar to the line drawing method of Chinese painting. The tonal level of the picture is reflected by the density of the lines. Generally, it only focuses on the structural composition of the image itself, not its changes in light and shade. It is suitable for expressing bright and beautiful scenery and mood. Draw this kind of sketch with a pen, the lines will be clear and the effect will be better.

The second is the ink painting method, which uses the dry and wet shades of ink, as well as the alternation of virtual and real, to express landscapes and street scenes with clouds and mist or broad and far-reaching spaces. This painting method can make the sketch full of implicit, mysterious and artistic conception.

The third is the painting method that pays equal attention to lines and tones. In this painting method, the lines are light and heavy, thick and thin, hard and soft, forming depth and light levels and light and dark charm, which can reflect the texture of different images. , beauty and passion.

The characteristic of this kind of sketch is that it is lively and lively, reflecting the overall atmosphere without being restricted to certain details of the image. It is suitable for expressing some lively and dynamic scenery, such as a busy construction site, a noisy street scene, etc.

Landscape sketches must be accurate, but they must also reflect vividness and the beauty of a certain atmosphere and artistic conception. They cannot just pursue simple so-called accuracy. For example, if you draw a building with a ruler like an architectural drawing, the drawing may be very accurate and reasonable, but it will be lifeless and lacking in artistry.
