Illustration in the form of geometric expression Illustration (painting) is an image expressed by patterns. In line with the principle of unity of beauty and practicality, the lines and shapes are as clear as possible and easy to make. 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. Summary and Appreciation of Several Illustration Styles Some people like watching TV dramas, others like watching variety shows, and so do I like watching pictures. A good work will show you the world built by the artist. Through this painting, you have a different imagination of the world. There are many beautiful things you haven't found. This is the beauty brought by illustration and the reason why I love painting very much. As a non-professional, based on my recent painting experience, I made a small summary of several kinds of illustrations. Just like studying notes, I hope we can learn something from these excellent illustrations. * Plane style: All the elements in the painting look flat and consist of simple shapes and lines, but the colors are very rich and harmonious. The clothes of the characters have a strong sense of cloth, which is a bit like a tapestry. Various elements are composed of simple geometric shapes, and some small lines are supplemented by embellishments. The expression of light makes simple geometric figures present a more realistic scene. The lines are outlined with granular pencil lines, which makes the picture full of childlike interest. * Rock color style: Rock color painting generally refers to all artistic works with mineral color as the main tone. In my opinion, the works in rock color style are very textured. In order to achieve different painting effects, traditional rock-and-roll works are mostly pasted with gold foil or silver foil on paper. The following works should be computer-drawn, but they also reach the rock-and-roll style. According to observation, most of the works in rock color style are dominated by gold, black, red, sapphire blue and other main colors, which are very similar to Dunhuang murals. * Semi-realistic style: three-dimensional characters, close to realism, and strong clothing texture. The picture below shows the works of Taiwan Province talented woman illustrator De Dezhen (deceased). I especially like the illustrations of Dezhen series. The characters' eyes are emotional and their costumes are gorgeous and complicated. The background has the texture of rock painting. The picture below shows the works of Zhang, the first painter in China who won the gold medal in the international comic contest. Successful illustrators' works have distinct personal characteristics. Just like this work, Zhang's illustration has a certain feeling of meticulous painting, but it also has a three-dimensional sense of CG painting. Her color tends to be big red, and the characters in the paintings usually show arrogant and indifferent attitude. I remember that the cover of Scarer, my favorite magazine in college, was a picture, all in this style. * Clear style: The picture below shows the work of my favorite illustrator "Fat Snake". Her blog is called "Fat Snake Wonderland", which should be the title. Her works are clear and full of light, presenting a beautiful and mysterious fairy tale world, with many elements such as little girls, fairies and small animals, which should really be a fairyland. Her paintings have a delicate and fluffy texture, perhaps relying on tiny and hazy lines. The colors are mostly light brown, light green and light. If you like her works, you can search "Fat Snake Wonderland" on the Internet to see other similar works. The picture below is similar to the style of a fat snake, and the overall picture presents a clear and warm feeling. This painting is a watercolor painting, unlike the last one, which has many tiny lines. The characteristic of watercolor painting is that the fluidity of pigment is easier to form rich colors. A good work must be rich and uniform in color. For example, this painting has no trace of light, but it makes you feel that it is in a very bright room. This is the success of color application. There are many wonderful illustrations, too numerous to mention. I hope everyone can see more, draw more and think more, improve their painting level as soon as possible and create their own works. How to draw illustrations in reading notes is as follows:
The method is divided into five steps, as follows: 1. Small illustrations of reading notes can use animal images to draw the outline of the head first. 2, and then use the look and nose parts to draw, which can be drawn more simply. 3. Then draw its body, limbs and tail. 4. After painting, draw a pillow under the bear and a butterfly in front. 5. The last part is to paint the bear with the corresponding color, and the small illustration is completed. 1. First, write "Reading Notes" as the title at the top. If you can't write the title, you can write it directly with a pen.
2. Draw a book-style border in the middle. You can make the border bigger and draw two pencils on the left.
Draw a pencil and ruler on the right, draw an eraser on it, and draw love and stars around it, so that the handwritten newspaper line draft is completed.
4. The title background box is painted green, the pencil is painted blue and pink, and the ruler is painted pink, which can be painted lighter.
5. The book border in the middle is painted pink, the bookmark is painted orange, green and blue, the eraser is painted green and the stars are painted orange and blue.
6. Finally, draw a grid line in the middle and tidy it up, and a beautiful handwritten newspaper of reading notes will be completed.
Drawing skills: First, basic drawing starts with basic modeling, which is the basic knowledge of accurate picture structure. Only by drawing the structure well can the comfort of the picture be increased. The correct shape is the foundation of beautiful pictures. In the picture, grasp the structure of the picture with accurate lines. When painting, you know what the basic types of description are and how to describe them. Second: the purpose of learning to simplify is not not not to draw, but to simplify complex things into objects that are easy to draw. Simplifying apples into spheres and boxes is very common in painting. The process of simplification is a convenient drawing process. We look at complex things with the idea that all objects are composed of geometric bodies. Third: squint at the picture, look at the outline of the picture and draw the shape. You can see all the important lines by squinting. When drawing, you must draw these key lines. Fourth: from big to small, from main to secondary.
