Hand-painted colored lead illustration tutorial-how to do hand-painted color illustrations, what pigments and pens to use

Hand-painted Illustration_53|Colored Lead Color Card DIY (48 Colors) When I was picking up colored lead before, I didn’t think carefully and chose Deli Water-soluble Colored Lead 48 Colors, which is medium in price/performance ratio. The coloring effect is okay. However, recently I have higher requirements for colored lead painting, and coupled with my communication with my painting friend @ Mengguo, I decided to make a color card. Deli's colored pencils are not numbered, making it inconvenient to make color cards. At the same time, in order to better learn and communicate about painting, I looked up the color card comparison of "Faber-Castell Water-soluble Colored Leads 48 Colors" on the Internet, tried the colors on the newly purchased Kent paper (yellow), and adjusted the order of the colored lead. Some colors are too similar in color, and the quantity is inconsistent with Faber-Castell's, so I "made up" the color numbers for a few colors. After sorting the colored pencils, I painted them one by one, sampled the colors, and named them by number. Finally, put tape on each colored pencil and write the number. It took about 2-3 hours. Of course, the fastest way is to self-number, but it is not convenient for communication. Anyway, I finished it, so happy. In short, this color card is only for reference and to facilitate your own quick coloring. PS: When I try to draw detailed colored pencil paintings recently, I cut the colored pencil very thin, but it always breaks after applying it. I have to sharpen it again, and then it breaks again. The experience was not very good. It is recommended that those who have higher requirements for colored lead should buy well-known brands such as Faber-Castell. Anyway, I have already planted some Faber-Castell colored pencils, and when I use up my Deli colored pencils (after all, it was a gift from my sister), I will reward myself by pulling out the weeds. In fact, this can also motivate yourself to keep painting. Goodbye July, hello August. 17.7.31 How to make hand-painted color illustrations? What paint to use? What pen? First, prepare a drawing board, preferably a solid wood one, because it is relatively flat. Then there is the paper. The sketch paper of "Old Man's Head" is not too expensive and the quality is not bad. When I was reading "Arts and Crafts", everyone used it to draw. Sketch paper is flatter than gouache paper, so the drawing effect is better. The second is water-soluble tape for mounting paintings, and a watering can. The watering can is used to spray wet water-soluble tape. If you don’t know how to use water-soluble tape to frame pictures, you can ask the tape seller. They usually know how to do it, and some even learn to paint. The "Chinese" and "Old Man" pencils used for drawing are fine. There is no need to use expensive ones, because drawing requires a lot of practice, and using too good pencils is too wasteful. For erasers and stuff, just look at the mid-priced ones in the store. There is actually no specific range of colors. Gouache, watercolor, colored pencils, oil pastels, crayons, markers, toners, Chinese painting pigments, etc., anything you can think of can be used to draw illustrations. Which drawing tool you use comes down to personal preference. Don't be too limited in your thinking when drawing. This is different from studying mathematics. If you are just starting to practice and want to start from the most basic level, you can start by painting in gouache style. Gouache is considered to be a relatively strong expression of layering in the picture. When buying paint, it is best to buy a brand. Different brands may have different names, but the colors are very similar. Usually everyone buys the "Marley" brand. Their colors are relatively correct and not too expensive. Many of the cheaper brands' paints are gray in color. Of course, if you like gray tones, you can also buy a few. It is best not to buy the kind of paint that comes in a complete set of tubes, unless you are painting in a watercolor style and use less paint. The ones in tubes are much more expensive than the ones in boxes. When buying paint for the first time, just pick the color you like. If you buy a color you don’t like, you won’t use it often. You can buy gold, silver, and fluorescent colors if you like them, but these colors are more expensive. If you use fluorescent colors, the color is quite special. When buying paint for the first time, at least 30 colors are enough. When painting with gouache paint, just use more water to achieve a watercolor feel, so you don’t need to buy anything special for watercolor. When using gouache, you can sketch with water-soluble colored pencils while the gouache is still wet. It seems that the colored pencils are not sold individually, just buy 24, and the colors in more packages are closer. If you want to draw purely with colored pencils, you can use 48 colors or more. Markers can continue to draw details after the gouache has dried. The principle is to buy what you like. Just 3 yuan a piece is enough. The ones that are too cheap are the ones that have been left for too long. The markers will dry out if left for too long. The thickness of the needle pen is generally between 0.01 and 1.0. Choose 3 pens of different thicknesses according to your own feeling. Japanese brand syringe pens are easier to use than domestic ones. Needle pens are used for outlining. Going to the art supply wholesale market to buy is cost-effective, and you can get a feel for the painting materials. If you don’t understand, you can ask the boss. Visiting the market is a very interesting thing. There is no need to deliberately buy books that teach illustration. Go to bookstores more often, look at the painting materials introduced in the books in the store, and just memorize them. Finally, I would like to say a few words. Go to the library and borrow the "Annals of Bologna" to practice copying. It is too expensive to buy it and there is no need. Borrowing it is just right. "Bologna" is considered the most classic illustration collection. Most of the books in the book are drawn by European illustrators, and each person's paintings are very unique. How to make a good illustration?

Illustrations, also known as illustrations, are illustrations drawn in the form of hand drawing, mouse drawing and computer board drawing. Due to their wide range of uses, they are produced in different styles. In the film, television, animation and game industries, they 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 an art form of visual expression, mainly divided into 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. There is room for employment in other directions such as the music/film and television/media industries.

Common tools for illustrations:

1. Hand-drawn illustrations are drawn with paper and pens - common tools: markers, colored pencils, watercolors .

2. Mouse-painted illustrations—common tools: PS, AI, etc.

3. Tablet drawing illustrations—commonly used equipment: hand-drawing tablets, digital screens, iPads, and mobile phones.

4. The hand-drawing tablet needs to be connected to the computer to draw in PS, AI, and SAI. The digital screen and ipad can draw directly without connecting to the computer. You need to buy a capacitive pen for mobile phone to draw.

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, which makes many students confused. How should they choose? There is a saying that is good, just talk without practicing tricks. To judge how good a place of study is, you must at least look at the other person's strength first. The trial class is to see where the other person's strength is best, and at the same time look at the quality of the course. How is it? If even the trial class is not taught well, then the other classes will be even more useless. And if you choose to study, you should choose a big school, so 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 skills 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 are given in the evening and will not delay your work or study during the day. Students who want to listen can enter Weixin (homophone):

The first group in the front is: gon_浯文膤蟟叟域蔷槭 reel 699_Just combine the above two sets of numbers in order. Note: Illustration.

Since students like to learn board drawing illustrations, 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 Xiantong, Yizong of the Tang Dynasty (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.
