Tang Hand-painted pop Illustration Course —— How to learn to draw illustrations from scratch

The time is arranged. "The time is arranged." This sentence popped up after watching Let the Future Come Now. This is what the class teacher in charge of senior three often tells us. I just kept trying to make my life richer, but I started a lot of things and ended up in a hurry. We are like this: we seem to know a lot of truth, but few people really practice it.

1. Does time really need to be managed?

"Don't you need it?" If you have "Does time really need to be managed?" You might as well ask yourself such a question first. Peng Xiaoliu mentioned several people in the book: Yoshida Suibo, Kai-fu Lee, Uncle Akiba and Liang Wendao. These accomplished people are managing their time. From this perspective, the author is telling us that an accomplished person must be able to arrange his time reasonably. Of course, this does not mean that as long as you manage your time well, you will certainly succeed. Whether you can make achievements in a certain field depends on many factors, but time management is definitely one of the necessary conditions.

Second, use tools to manage time.

The author introduced several time management tools to us. XX list, tomato clock tool can help us arrange our own time. List APP can help us record what we need to do every day. Anything you think needs to be recorded can be written in, and then these things can be arranged reasonably according to your own schedule. The tomato clock tool can help us concentrate on one thing in a certain period of time, shield the temptation of the outside world, and is very helpful to improve our concentration.

Procrastination is the enemy of time management.

The author tells us in detail how to overcome procrastination. Actually, procrastination is not terrible. "structural procrastination +2 1 day to overcome procrastination+community supervision" can effectively help us overcome procrastination. I want to talk about a few things that impressed me: First, procrastination is not terrible. Procrastination is common to almost everyone. It is human nature to escape and stay in the comfort zone. It is against nature to plan the execution time of each minute. Second, it is impossible to persist every day. Habits are not to be done every day. It's good to stick to one thing and stick to 60% of the days of the year. If you have 80% time, it's already very powerful.

Four: Be sure to find out why before you do it.

The golden section tells us that before doing something, it is more successful to think clearly why you should do it than to do it blindly. So, if you really want to practice time management, think about the reasons first. Everyone has a different starting point. I feel idle and need time to manage. I feel too busy and need time to manage.

Five: "practicality" is the key.

Time management is a skill, and skills should be "applied". Learning time management is not reading a lot of books and drawing a lot of mind maps of time management, but practicing. Practice, through time management, let yourself accomplish more things and achieve more achievements in the same time as others, which is the purpose of time management.

How to learn to draw illustrations from scratch 1, dare to draw.

First of all, we should have the mentality of "painting is not good-looking" and "painting is not right or wrong". In short, different people have different views on whether a painting is good-looking. There is a reference for drawing the wrong picture, which can be said to be right or wrong. Painting, especially illustration, should be free and casual, without being too nervous. Painting is not good-looking, painting is not right or something, which are all bad attitudes that hinder you from painting. It is the first step to learn illustration from scratch to dare to draw.

2, start painting from simple painting.

For example, stick figure, I also learned from stick figure, after all, from scratch. I have read a sentence about photography before: beginners of photography must learn to take pictures before they can take good pictures. Painting is the same, draw what you want to draw first, and then draw it, so that you can recognize what it is. So there is a key point here, that is, train yourself to grasp the characteristics of each item, which is the most clear part when you think about it and see it. You can gradually develop the ability to grasp the characteristics of things around you, which is of great help to the so-called "writing like a god" in the later period;

3. Collect and record.

After mastering the characteristics, we entered the stage of "sketching", that is, looking for a book and recording what we saw and wanted to draw at any time and place with our mood. There are a lot of materials, and it is not difficult to use them again after painting. It is very important to record with stick figures, and such records can also practice the fluency of lines. At the same time, we also need to collect decoration methods. One of the characteristics of illustration is decorative. There are many methods, indoor decoration and outdoor decoration. When you see something beautiful, write it down and try to use it in your own works.

4. Combine, think and change.

Combine the collected things in some ways, which can be reference, learning, or even violent thinking, combined with your own style. At the same time, give full play to your imagination and exaggerate (enlarge, shrink, flatten, lengthen, skew, twist, etc. ) captured features, change the collected materials, and add their own elements. Then, think about how to make the combined things creative and interesting. It is also the way to learn from others, the methods and steps to learn creativity, and slowly you will come out of your own small universe in generate and have your own creativity;

5. Make works and share them.

What I usually do is practice, do some so-called complete works, and express my thoughts in my own way, which can be a single article, a series or a work with a theme. In this process, learn to use appropriate methods and techniques to complete the work, not seeking complexity, atmosphere and worship, but seeking your own satisfaction and rich pictures, whether visually or emotionally, so that people who see it feel interesting, have something to say and have questions, and you can really start illustration from scratch.

With works, learn to share, exaggerate, communicate and ask for advice. In short, when you show your work, there will be all kinds of feedback, which can be ignored. What is important is to look at the suggestions and opinions given by others and how others feel about your work. This will make your next work more beautiful; Note: I think everyone knows the ways and means of sharing ~ ~

6. improve.

The above five steps can only help you learn illustration from scratch, and of course you need some professional knowledge to learn it well. For example, what Kim said earlier. Sketch, sketch, human body structure, cg techniques and other professional knowledge can be learned, but the most difficult thing is color. Everyone feels really different. I belong to that kind of "I can get by without painting, and painting will be ugly." However, I chose the stick figure and simply colored it. I only used the 24-color watercolor pen we used since childhood to make some changes, levels and shadows. I am satisfied myself, but I also need to study more and improve myself.

Painting is a lifelong thing, and it is a pleasure after getting started. Practice is necessary. Casual and unconstrained style is the essence of illustration. Don't stick to what technology and tools you use to find a state. After all, drawing illustrations is not your job, but your task. Just relax。 But for thinking, it is more important. Creativity comes from thinking, and how to draw next is coming from thinking. Use your head more, and be both virtuous and artistic.

For the "method" mentioned above, you can take a look at my online video course in Dobe. I talked about some common skills, in fact, everyone has them. I'm just summarizing it for you. ID: Tang is mostly free ~ ~ Dear ~ ~

I hope these words can help you and everyone. But you know, getting started is simple. You can learn from watching videos, but you must draw well and draw your own feelings and styles. Three words: take your time.

How to write a diary of mind mapping success I. Theoretical basis of illustrations

(1) Three pens

Since I came into contact with illustration, the most direct reason for changing the quality of my drawing is the concept of three pens. This concept was heard from Mr. Jane, Dobby's creative hand-painted POP classroom. After hearing it, it was immediately used in my life, which really improved the quality of my painting.

The picture below shows my explanation of the concept of three pens in Jane and Don's Learning from Pop Masters.

How to make a mind map success diary (1)- paper and pen

Simply put, it is to find three kinds of brushes, thick, medium and thin.

Middle stroke: first draw the outline with the strokes of middle stroke.

Large strokes: Use large strokes to highlight key points.

Small strokes: Use a pen with small strokes to decorate illustrations. Here, decoration is divided into external decoration and internal decoration. External decoration is the exterior of decorative illustration, and internal decoration is decorative illustration itself.

(2) Three colors

Generally, the colors of illustrations should not exceed 3 colors. I usually have four colors at most. I usually choose red, yellow and blue, red, yellow, blue and green.

The three colors and four colors mentioned here do not mean that only these three or four colors can be used, as long as they are the same hue (what is hue? To put it simply, you should use red, pink, crimson and light red. Anyway, if you think it's red, use it. Therefore, this kind of cooperation can produce many effects. It's not necessarily my way, it's my habit, not that I can only do this, and I'm a beginner, so listen carefully. )

In addition, add color fill tips:

Personally, I think there are several filling types, 1. Full color filling, solid and heavy, gives people a more practical feeling. 2. The filling speed of lines is fast, and the compactness of lines can create the effect of light and shadow. 3. Graphic filling is time-consuming, but the effect will change in multiple clips. (Similar to graphic filling &; Heterogeneous graphic filling) 4. Fill at will, and the filling speed is fast, giving people a feeling of being random but not random (one-way filling lines). Filling method: 1. Full-page filling is more inclined to the complete presentation of comics. 2. Half-page filling is closer to reality and more dynamic.

Second, the tool preparation

The tools I use are what I have now. Actually, the tools are not that complicated. Without these tools, you can actually complete a black-and-white mind map with a 0.5 gel pen. Because I want to present a gorgeous hand-drawn mind map, I will use such a tool. Tools don't need to be as complicated as me. A 0.5 gel pen can start.

Ok, because I am a documentary, so I will talk about some of my tools.

How to make a mind map success diary (1)- paper and pen

1. tag

I chose two kinds of markers with different thicknesses, because they are both at two ends, so there are four kinds of strokes with different thicknesses. We only need to choose three strokes with different thicknesses (at this time, you have to choose which one is thick, medium and thin), and one head can be ignored.

2. Coated paper

Why use coated paper? One reason is that I have it around me, and the other reason is that it is suitable for writing with markers, and it is also convenient for later coloring with markers.

3. Water-based color pen

This kind of colored pen is water-based and marker is oily, so they are incompatible, so I can play freely when drawing, because my line drawing will not be influenced by me.

Third, the production process:

1. China's mind map of stroke success diary.

How to draw a mind map? There are many resources in this field on the Internet, so I won't list them one by one. This paper mainly presents my production ideas, and I won't go into details about how to draw mind maps. Baidu search.

2. Beautify with small brush strokes (decoration outside painting &; In-figure decoration)

Decorate the illustration with a small pen. This step is to make your key graphics look good, and also to enjoy your childish moment and give full play to your creativity.

3. A large stylus will highlight what needs to be highlighted.

At this time, you can highlight the words and graphics that you think need to be highlighted in your big theme and small theme.

Note that strokes are very important. Brush strokes can make your picture look better. You can try. But don't touch everything. I choose key images to stroke. After the stroke, I reviewed it again, which deepened my impression.

4. Color pens are used to color key drawings and lines at all levels.

Coloring is the most fun time, and this time is the extreme of childishness. You can paint as you like, and no one knows what your painted picture will look like. This is an interesting thing. I recommend you to try it.

Please note that my coloring here is not random, but I still focus on highlighting key images, because we should deepen the focus of memory when using key images.
