How to complete the illustration of picture books —— How to make art picture books

How to draw a picture book 1 Description of picture book creation As the main body of picture book, illustration is not only the composition of text, but also the first impression of cover and overview. Close contact with the visual language and text of picture books is one of the key factors for the success of picture books. To get this connection, the subject must add his own personality, views and opinions while following the text. Due to the diversity of themes, the creative style of children's picture books is actually very limited, such as characters, plots and scenes with Disney film style, classic humor and profound spiritual core; For example, European illustrators prefer to use more emotional and sensitive creative methods to reflect the theme and narrative style. Second, how to tell a story well? Children's picture books don't need depth like other types of paintings, and they also bring you some convenience in creation. But this does not mean that the content of the expression is unimportant, precisely because the audience is mainly children, and their feelings about the story are more direct and keen, which requires us to consider the reasonable development and integrity of the story and add emotion and empathy when creating. Story narration: A successful story narration requires an illustrator to conceive the development and trend of a complete story. Therefore, before painting begins, the subject had better simply write a project summary, including the outline of the story, the beginning, middle content and end of the story, the setting of secondary plot and suspense, and also describe an important scene in the story and show the main characters in the story. Role setting: in shaping the role, in order to make the role credible and let the children recognize the existence of the role, we need to explain the character, temper, appearance, family relationship and relationship with peers. An important content in children's picture books is the description of animals and the shaping of animal characters. In this field, because of the variety of animals, there are obvious differences in artistic techniques and illustration styles. Animals in illustrations are often portrayed as symbols of good or evil. The anthropomorphic method is a way to stylize these animals, endow them with obvious human characteristics and improve their sense of substitution and affinity. How to do illustrations (paintings) in art picture books is to express images with patterns. In line with the principle of unity of beauty and practicality, lines and shapes should be as clear and lively as possible to facilitate production. Illustration is a universal language in the world, and its design is usually divided into characters, animals and commodity images in commercial applications. Commodity image Commodity image is the expansion of animal personification in the field of commodities, and anthropomorphic commodities give people a sense of intimacy. Personalized modeling has a refreshing feeling, thus deepening people's direct impression of goods. Classification can be roughly divided into two categories according to the idea of personification of goods: the first category is complete personification, that is, exaggerating goods and personifying them by using their characteristics and modeling structure. The second category is semi-anthropomorphism, that is, adding hands, feet and heads unrelated to commodities as anthropomorphic characteristic elements. The above two anthropomorphic molding technologies make the goods humanized and personalized. Through the form of animation, emphasizing the characteristics of goods, its actions and words are directly related to goods, and the publicity effect is more obvious. Illustrators often draw illustrations for graphic designers or directly for magazines, newspapers and other media. They are generally professional illustrators or freelance artists, and have their own themes and painting styles like photographers. Their professional sensitivity and desire for new forms and tools have led many of them to use cg animation design tools to create illustrations. The software function of Cg animation makes their creative talent play a greater role. Whether it is simple or complex, whether it is traditional media effects, such as oil painting, watercolor, printmaking style or the endless new changes and new interests of digital graphics, it can be completed more conveniently and quickly. Digital photography is the latest development of photography. Photographers shoot objects with digital cameras or scan traditional positive films into computers through scanners, then adjust, combine and create new visual images on computer screens, and finally output positive films or negative films through film recorders. This brand-new photography technology has completely changed the creative concept of photographic optical imaging, taking digital graphics processing as the core, and is also called "darkroom photography". It blurs the boundaries between photographers, illustrators and graphic designers. Nowadays, as long as they are talented, they can complete all three tasks on the same computer.
