Introduction to Still Life Sketch

1. Basic skills of sketching still life

"Bright and dark", "long and short", "big and small" and "virtual and real" are firstly the improvement of understanding, and secondly the correctness of methods.

The improvement of understanding ability should be the improvement of appreciation ability. Always look at the accepted sketches.

This good work is also a relatively accurate work. More analysis, more research, a clear understanding of its advantages, more works will naturally enhance their horizons, and their own painting will slowly move closer to good standards.

Comparison is the only correct and effective method in sketch. Only by constantly improving the contrast, finding problems, correcting mistakes and constantly improving, the more detailed and in-depth the work, the more perfect and accurate the picture will be. It is impossible to be absolutely accurate, as long as you reach an accurate level of knowledge.

In the traditional sketch theory, "point" and "line" have very complete application rules, but for beginners, not all theories and rules can be skillfully understood and applied. For example, when measuring and determining the proportion of objects, we can judge by intuition or by measuring the distance between line segments with a pencil.

Among them, the method of measuring distance with pencil is worth analyzing and discussing. This is a way to compare various line segment lengths of an object (usually with two endpoints).

Due to the fuzziness of manual measurement, it is usually only possible to judge the length of the line room, and it is impossible to compare the exact value of the line. In fact, it is difficult to express the proportion of objects on the screen in this way, because in the process of thinking in images, people's understanding of "accurate value" is very limited, and they can only identify and express some regular fuzzy proportions. There are many such examples.

Let's discuss some application methods of "point", "line" and "surface" in sketch. Everyone knows that a line is composed of two endpoints, and when preparing a red bar by visual means, it is easiest to find the position of its midpoint, which is determined by the characteristics of people's thinking in images.

In the process of sketching, there are many relationships that need careful identification and judgment. We might as well use the method of "finding the middle point first" to determine the most basic proportional relationship. For example, when drawing an avatar, we can first determine the position of the eyes after drawing a rough outline, because the position of the eyes is often in the middle of the head (that is, the middle of the up-down relationship); Then it is easier to determine other positions and proportional relationships, which completely conforms to the characteristics of people's thinking in images. In fact, we can cite many such examples. For example, when depicting the whole plaster bust, we can first determine the position of the upper and lower endpoints, that is, the position of the top of the head and the base. Then, in general, the position of the chin must be the easiest to find and describe, because it is often in the middle.

In ancient China, there were a lot of theoretical knowledge about the fixed point and shape of painting, among which "three courts and five eyes" was a classic theory formed by analyzing and summarizing the horizontal and vertical directions in portrait description. Two basic lines Two basic lines refer to the operation of horizontal and vertical lines. Specifically, we can divide all kinds of lines to be processed in sketch into "near vertical" and "near horizontal", that is, we can measure and compare the properties of all kinds of lines close to them with "horizontal" or "vertical" as the criterion, so as to grasp the overall relationship of the picture.

When sketching figures, the horizontal and vertical contrast method is generally used to determine the position under the structure and left and right. For example, after the perspective change of the brow bone points, if you can't see clearly with your eyes, you can see it by pointing a horizontal pencil at the object. For another example, it is difficult to draw the ears and the back of the head when looking down at the head, but the position of the upper helix moving up between the eyebrow arch and hairline can be determined only by horizontal measurement, and the position of the earlobe moving up to the cheekbone is not easy to find accurately, but as long as it is measured vertically, it is clear at a glance whether it is on the left side of the nose rather than the right side, on the left side or the right side of the mouth, or on a vertical line.

By analogy, every tiny structure of the head can be found by comparing the horizontal and vertical lines. More accurate points can also be found by using the coordinate points where the horizontal and vertical lines intersect.

Various geometric "block faces" and "three faces" refer to various combinations of unit geometric comparison methods. The unit geometric comparison method means that the bright surface of the observed object presents similar plane geometry.

If the front light receiving surface is rectangular or trapezoidal, what is the geometric area, and then compare the front light receiving surface on the screen. If you draw a rectangle into a square, or a trapezoid into a rectangle, that is to say, the geometry on the screen and the geometry of the object cannot be similar, then it is proved that drawing is wrong.

Another example is a face with an acute triangle between the eyebrow arch and the eyes, and then check whether the bright face in the picture is also a triangle and similar to the triangle in the ground image. The dark side is also compared by methods. You can compare the dark side with the dark side.

To sum up, in order to improve the accuracy of sketch, we must observe the case as a whole and combine the methods of "one point", "two lines" and "three sides" and use them flexibly. This will improve the modeling control ability quickly and effectively.

2. Should learning sketch begin with practicing still life sketch?

Sketch is just a relative concept. Compared with long-term sketch, the sketch within 4 hours is called slow writing, and the sketch within 1 hour is called sketch.

Learning to sketch doesn't have to start with still life, because most of the sketches we learn belong to dynamic sketches, and we need to master the dynamic characteristics of objects, the means of line modeling and the ability of expressing general and concise painting language in a short time.

When learning sketch, you must not be quick. You need to speed up gradually on the basis of write slowly's practice. It can be based on half an hour. The key task is to exercise the ability of generalization, the organization of lines and the combination of lines and surfaces. Sketching is a technical activity, and practice makes perfect. Without "quantitative change", the satisfactory effect of "qualitative change" cannot be achieved.

3. How to teach beginners to draw still life sketches and sketches?

I suggest you practice arranging cables! Start the manuscript with HB pencil and lay a layer with HB pencil! For example, draw a projection first, of course, starting from the main body. I suggest you lay cables layer by layer! A good picture should be paved at least three times! Similarly, to correct the pen holding posture, you can stand on the drawing paper with your thumb to reduce the "contact" with drawing paper. Finally, open the black-and-white relationship! I think what your teacher said should be that your black-and-white relationship is not strong enough! The most important thing in a sketch is the relationship between black, white and gray! It is necessary to open black and white! Finally, use 2B.3B to open black and white! This kind of picture has a good sense of hierarchy and rich pictures! You don't have to wipe it by hand. Hand rubbing is when you draw a portrait. When the details cannot be refined, you can gently wipe them with your hands! In still life sketch, a few more layers can cover the small white spots that appear when the cable is not delicate!

Secondly, it must be holistic, and it is easy to have that kind of situation in an incomplete painting!

Finally, it is carefully portrayed. This is the last step, but it is very important! For example, the edge of the bowl, the edge of the plate, the bottle mouth, the junction of light and shade of a figure or the junction of light and shade, the five senses should be carefully portrayed! This will be exquisite! No roughness!

As for comfort and tranquility, it is a matter of transition between light and shade. That part should be too natural, which will give people a comfortable feeling! Peace means that the tone of the gray part is also layered and changing. The proportion of gray in a painting is greater than that of white and black, so you can't underestimate gray!

Good luck! ~

4. The basic content of a single still life sketch

Still life sketch is the basis of basic sketch. Geometry, utensils, fruits, etc. In short, a stationary object will do. Draw the outline first, then black/white/gray. The edge of the object with black tone should be pure black, and the gray tone can be imaginary or with background.

Still life setting: When drawing a still life sketch, you should first consider the still life setting. The content of still life is extensive, such as daily utensils, fruits, vegetables, flowers, handicrafts, tools, household appliances, animal specimens and so on. Beginners should follow the principle from simple to complex and from easy to difficult. At the beginning, we should choose objects with simple structure and single color, and gradually transition to depicting objects with complex structure, rich colors and different textures.

5. What are the basic steps to draw a still life sketch?

1. Establish the arrangement of composition scrutiny, so that the objects on the picture are given appropriate priority, and the composition is balanced and diverse, avoiding the disadvantages of scattering, chaos, emptiness and blocking.

2. Draw a big physical structure. Draw the physical structure of an object with a long straight line (the invisible part of the object should also be drawn gently), which requires the shape, proportion and structural relationship of the object to be accurate. Then draw the shape and position of each light and dark level (highlight, bright part, middle color, dark part, projection and intersection of light and dark).

3. By depicting the light and shade of the body (from the whole to the part, from the big to the small), gradually and deeply shape the sense of volume of the object. The important and key details of the text should be carefully described.

4. It is inevitable to ignore the relationship between the whole and the part when the adjustment is completed. At this time, it is necessary to comprehensively adjust (mainly referring to the physical structure including color, texture, space, primary and secondary, etc. ), so as to make a choice and highlight the main body.

6. Basic skills of sketching still life

1. Pay attention to the light changes in the scene. Every angle of still life has different light visual effects and changes. Pay attention to the performance of shadows in object shadows. For example, the area where light shines directly on the surface of an object is white, but when the surface of the object encounters a shadow, the lines on the edge of the object should be drawn deeper, so that it seems that the object and the shadow will not be mixed together, which can increase the three-dimensional sense of the object.

Also, in the direct light area, it should be represented by shallow and thin lines, on the contrary, the shadow part should be represented by thick and black lines.

2. Carefully ponder the external characteristics of still life, and pay more attention to uneven places.

The most difficult thing is the black and white expression of light. As long as you observe carefully in the sketch technique and add your own usage and expression of lines, you will draw a three-dimensional, almost still life sketch.

I have also studied sketching, which is all my sketching experience. There are basically no skills in sketching. Only by mastering and applying sketching knowledge can a good sketch be made.

Hoo hoo! ! ! ! After typing these words, I am so tired that my hands are sore. I hope you can draw a good work, whether it is for you or not! !

7. Beginners learn still life sketch

It won't take half a year to reach that level. It is suggested to find a better studio to start with the basics: start with the geometric shapes, then combine them, and then start painting still life, that is, first combine them. The learning process should be gradual, from simple to complex. Pay attention to several combinations:

1 Combine theory with practice. Understand the basic knowledge of composition, proportion, structure, perspective, light and shade and apply it to sketch practice;

2 brain-hand combination. Diligent in thinking, write wholeheartedly first, just like writing, make a draft first, know what you are doing before you start writing;

3 Copying and sketching are combined. Find a better model to copy, and then sketch according to the copied theme;

4 Combination of practice and summary. After a period of sketching practice, we should summarize it in stages, find out the shortcomings in time and correct them in time.

8. How to define a sketch still life and what basic knowledge do you need to master?

Introduction to the basic knowledge of sketch: 1. What is a sketch? 2. What is the status of sketch? 3. What are the techniques and types of sketching? 4. Sketching tools? 5. Sketch theme? 6. Evolution of sketch lines? 7. Oriental sketch? 8. What is the artist's attitude towards sketch? 9. Common sketch terms? 10. Understand the light and shade in the sketch? 1. What is this?

2. Use charcoal, pencils, pens, etc. Drawing a monochrome picture of light and dark objects with lines is called sketching. Sketch is the basis of all painting and a necessary stage in the research process.

(Artist Magazine on Sketch-Xiao) 3. Sketch usually refers to the methods that can leave traces on the plane, such as crayons, charcoal pens, pens, brushes, ink, paper, etc., and others include the wear and tear caused by wet clay, ink-stained cloth strips, metals, stone tools, containers or cloth covers. (Encyclopedia of Artistic Vision) 4. Outlines and lines are the general term for sketches.

Sketch has a sense of natural law, which the viewer can feel from the process of appreciation. Different strokes create different lines and cross relationships, including rhythm, active and passive surroundings, plane, volume, tone and texture.

5. Sketch is a formal artistic creation, which uses monochrome lines to express things in the intuitive world, and can also express ideas, concepts, attitudes, feelings, fantasies, symbols and even abstract forms. It does not pay attention to the whole and color like painting, but to the structure and form.

Encyclopedia Britannica 6. In the book Dictionary of Western Fine Arts (published by Lion Book Company), there is only one explanation related to sketch. It is considered that the sketch of a work or a part of a work is the artist's research and discussion on key points such as light and shadow, composition and the scale of the whole picture; It is a preliminary composition of the whole painting or one of the paintings. The sketch of a landscape painter is usually a small and quick record to show the lighting effect of the landscape and prepare for the idea of repainting in the future.

9. Basic skills of sketching still life

To make a long story short, comprehensively describe the following four points:

1.

Deliberately arrange the composition, so that the objects on the screen are given appropriate priority, and the composition is balanced and diverse, avoiding the disadvantages of scattering, chaos, emptiness and congestion.

Step 2 draw a big body structure

Draw the physical structure of an object with a long straight line (the invisible part of the object should also be drawn gently), requiring the shape, proportion and structural relationship of the object.

Accurate. Then draw the shape and position of each light and dark level (highlight, bright part, middle color, dark part, projection and intersection of light and dark).

3. Gradually and deeply forming

Through the light and dark description of the body (from the whole to the part, from the big to the small), the sense of volume of the object is gradually shaped. It is very important and crucial to the text.

The details should be carefully carved.

4. Adjustment completed

In-depth characterization inevitably ignores the relationship between the whole and the parts. At this time, it is necessary to comprehensively adjust (mainly referring to the physical structure including color, texture, space, primary and secondary, etc. ), so as to make a choice and highlight the main body.

Finally ps: Pay attention to the mentality, draw with the atmosphere, draw with your heart, and draw with your heart. Painting is a matter of releasing and stretching yourself. You must feel free and not too rigid.

10. Introduction and basic knowledge of sketch

Personal experience, half a sketch, mastered the feel of examples and control lines, and then sketch with half the effort. Start with a simple plaster statue, don't try to reach the sky in one step. Then practice the five senses separately, and the head portrait focuses on depicting the five senses. If you don't understand the structure of the five senses, you can't start. Avatars, like still life, should have a boundary between light and shade, be virtual and real, be exaggerated and be simplified. The purpose is to highlight what you want to express. Just like what you want to express in an article, make sure that what you draw has a soul and something to watch. This is the difference between painting and photos.

Say in detail

five sense organs

Needless to say, it is enough to practice your eyes, nose, mouth and ears.

chiaroscuro

Note that the boundary between light and shade is always the darkest, and the dark lines should not be too obvious, so you can smear them. Note that the reflection should be "breathable", and the lines on the gray surface can be thinner, so that the intersecting lines can show the texture.

distant view

I only know that the head is a ball, which is near and far.

proportion

The ideal proportion of a person is 7 heads, squatting three times, sitting five times and standing seven times (head and body).

There are three courts and five eyes in the head, and the hairline is the same distance from the eyebrow arch to the bottom of the nose to the chin. The face is five eyes wide.

It's all in these books,

The trick is ...

Practice more, feel more and see more, hehe ~ I wish you success.
