Illustration knowledge-how to learn illustration based on zero foundation

Illustration tip 1. Do you have any good flower arranging skills? Share the top ten skills of flower arrangement: 1. Cut about 1 inch at the bottom of the flower stem at an oblique angle of 45 degrees. This will immediately increase the water intake on the stem surface, and the flowers and leaves of flowers will absorb more water and become fuller and more vigorous. 2. Choose a cup you like as a vase. Don't cut off the stems completely, keep them in a proper size in a teacup, and tie them into a bunch with a rubber band, so that the flowers will be more complete and easier to change water. 3. If you want the budding flowers to bloom immediately, you can alternate warm water with hot water. Cut off the stems first, and then put the flowers in a glass bottle filled with warm water. After one minute, move the flowers to a vase filled with cold water. After 20 minutes, these flowers will open their biggest mouths. The mixture of vodka and sugar can prolong the flowering period. Adding a few drops of vodka and a teaspoon of sugar to the vase can delay the flower withering. When the flower is sad, add a glass of vodka to the water, and its stem will straighten again in about a day or two. 5. Show succulents in beautiful dessert cups. The lovely succulent plants in the dessert cup feel sweet and unique! Just fill the potted soil, then spray the soil with a spray bottle filled with tap water and put succulents on the wet soil surface. Over time, it will begin to take root and sprout. Be sure to spray the soil evenly once a week with a spray bottle until the top soil looks wet. 2. What is painting common sense and how to master it? Art usually refers to painting, sculpture, arts and crafts, architectural art and so on, which are carried out in space, expressed and appealed to human vision. When this name was first used in Europe in the 17th century, it generally referred to painting, sculpture, literature, music and other things with aesthetic significance. When I began to use this word widely around the May 4th Movement, it also had the meaning equivalent to the whole art. For example, when Lu Xun explained the word "art" in 19 13, he wrote: "Art is a word translated from English love. People who love clouds originally came from Greece, and their friendship is art. Soon after, China translated "love" with the word "art", and the word "art" became the name specifically referring to visual arts such as painting. Skills and means of creating artistic images in plastic arts. Such as painting with the help of color, light and shade, lines, anatomy and perspective; Sculpture depends on volume and structure. These techniques and means, through long-term artistic practice, have formed the unique and special artistic language of these plastic arts, which determines the different expression rules of these arts and is related to the success or failure of the plastic arts image and the appeal of artistic works. The artist's constant exploration and improvement of the regularity of modeling expression means is a necessary condition for artistic creation to express new life content and meet people's developing aesthetic hobbies. The golden section is also called Huang Jinlv and the golden ratio. On a line segment, the line segment is divided into long segments and short segments according to the optimal length-width ratio, or the optimal ratio of long sides to short sides of a rectangle is formed according to the optimal length-width ratio, that is, the golden section. Terms of two-dimensional painting. Refers to the plane space composed of length (left and right) and height (up and down). In painting, in order to truly reproduce the image, we often use perspective, shading and other modeling methods to create the profound feeling and three-dimensional effect of the image on the plane of the second space, that is, to create the illusion of the three-dimensional space of natural objects with the second space. Some paintings, such as decorative paintings and pattern paintings, do not require strong depth effect, but deliberately pursue the plane meaning of the second space in order to obtain artistic expression. Stereographic terminology. Refers to the three-dimensional space composed of length (left and right), height (up and down) and depth (depth). In painting, in order to truly reproduce the image, it is necessary to show the three-dimensional sense and depth on the plane. Texture painting, sculpture and other plastic arts show the characteristics of various objects in their works through different expression techniques, such as silk, skin, water, stone and other different qualitative characteristics, giving people a sense of reality and beauty. With the help of light and shade, color, lines and other modeling factors, the sense of quantity expresses the feeling of the weight, thickness, size and quantity of an object. Such as the solemnity of rocks and the lightness of wind and smoke. All realistic objects in painting are required to convey their unique weight and realism. Using the comparative relationship of quantity, we can produce diverse and unified effects. In painting, according to the principles of geometric perspective and air perspective, the sense of space describes the relationship between objects such as distance, level and interpenetration, thus conveying a profound three-dimensional sense in plane painting. Terms of volume painting. Refers to the visual objects displayed on the painting plane can give people a three-dimensional sense of occupying three-dimensional space. In painting, any visible object is determined by the structure of the object itself, which is composed of blocks in different directions and angles. Therefore, it is necessary to grasp the structural characteristics of the object to be painted and analyze its proper relationship in painting in order to achieve a sense of volume. Theoretical terms of perspective painting. The word "perspective" comes from the Latin word "perspclre". At first, perspective is to look at the scenery through a transparent plane, and accurately draw the scenery on this plane, that is, to form a perspective view of the scenery. Later, according to certain principles, the science of expressing the spatial position, outline and projection of an object with lines is called perspective. There are three perspectives: 1 color perspective, 2 vanishing perspective and 3-line perspective. This is summed up by Leonardo da Vinci, and the most commonly used is line perspective. Perspective occupies a large proportion in painting. Its basic principle is to imagine a piece of glass between the painter and the object to be painted, fix the position of the eyes (see with one eye), and connect the key points of the object with the eyes to form a line of sight. Reconnect with the imaginary glass. The position of each point on the glass is the position of the three-dimensional object you want to draw on the two-dimensional plane. This is the application method of perspective in western classical painting. For example, the perspective application of Chinese painting: (1) Multi-viewpoint Chinese painting is good at expressing rich plots, while western painting pays attention to single viewpoint (similar to photography). The rich plot emphasized by Chinese painting can't be completed from a single viewpoint. Therefore, Chinese painting is represented by multiple viewpoints (similar to splitting and recombining multiple lenses of a camera). For example, (2) the height of the camera is represented by a slightly oblique perspective, and mountains with high mountains are often drawn in the distance, which are connected by clouds. Show a feeling that people are higher than mountains. Chinese painting does not use close-ups to represent mountains. (2) Long-distance Chinese painting emphasizes "fighting for a tree and taking an inch of beans. "The painter must use telephoto to express himself. Picasso's works break the basic law of perspective and show the front and back of an object in two-dimensional space. To understand Picasso's paintings, we must first abandon perspective. Nowadays, painters have begun to ignore all the rules and try to break them. But these practices are in a basic philosophical rule-breaking old rules and creating new ones. The basic term for viewing the horizon and seeing the center point: that is, the painter's eyes are facing a point on the horizontal line of his eyes. Viewpoint: It is the position of the painter's eyes. Line connecting the viewpoint and the center, at right angles to the horizon. Vanishing point: an angular object, not parallel to the picture, reaches the vanishing point on both sides of the center of the apparent horizon in perspective. Celestial point: it is an inclined object (in front of the roof of the house) and disappears above the obvious horizon. Location: It is an inclined object (behind the roof) near high and far low, disappearing below the obvious horizon. 3. Basic knowledge of painting color: 1 Know the three primary colors, namely red, yellow and blue. Know the difference between cool color and warm color. Know better color matching and know what complementary colors are, namely red, green, blue, orange and purple. Modeling problem: 1 Learn basic sketch, which is very important for drawing! 2 understand and draw a sense of space, so that the object level can be opened. 3 Understand the perspective relationship, that is, near the big and far from the small, near the real and far from the virtual, near the high and far from the low, two straight lines extend indefinitely and finally disappear at one point. Learn to focus on describing local things. In fact, the relationship between black, white and gray objects still needs to be seen and learned. I'm just telling you many years' experience in painting. I still need to paint more. 4. What are the basic common sense of flower arrangement? This is some information I found for you from the internet: the basics of flower arrangement: Chinese style 1. The upright first main branch is inserted vertically into the container, showing a straight or graceful posture, giving people a dignified and steady artistic beauty. It is advisable to look up and wait. 2. Inclined type is to insert the main flower branches obliquely outward into the container, and use some branches that naturally bend or grow obliquely to express their lively and dynamic beauty. It is advisable to look up and wait. The overall outline should be an inclined rectangle, that is, the horizontal dimension is greater than the height, in order to show the inclined aesthetic feeling. 3. The spreading type is to extend the main flower branches horizontally or horizontally in the container, emphasizing the beauty of horizontal lines or belts. The first main branch is inclined about 80o-90o, and basically forms a horizontal shape with the floral organ. 4. The drooping type is that the main flower branches are hung downward and inserted into the container, and the plants with tendrils, semi-tendrils and flexible flower branches show the beauty of slender, elegant and smooth lines, and the picture is vivid and decorative. 5. Merging pattern (landscape flower arrangement) Merging pattern is to combine two identical or different patterns into a whole to form a whole modeling work. 6. Landscape flower arrangement Landscape flower arrangement is a form of flower arrangement that shows the natural scenery between the square inches in the basin. Western symmetrical flower shapes, such as triangular, fan-shaped, inverted T-shaped, hemispherical, horizontal and conical, such as L-shaped, equilateral triangle, meniscus and S-shaped, are one of the basic forms of western flower arrangement. The outline of the pattern is a symmetrical equilateral triangle or isosceles triangle, with the widest lower part and narrow upper part, which looks like a pyramid. The triangular structure is balanced and beautiful, giving people a neat and solemn feeling. Suitable for the decoration of meeting places, halls and churches, and placed on corner tea tables or corner furniture. Vases with shallow pots or large angstroms are often used as containers. The fan is radial, and the flowers extend radially from the center in all directions, just like an open fan. It is used in ceremonial activities such as welcoming ceremony to set off a lively and festive atmosphere. Inverted T-shape is a kind of flower shape with unilateral symmetry, which is shaped like the English letter T upside down. When inserting, the vertical line must be vertical, and the horizontal lines on the left and right sides are horizontal or slightly drooping. The length of the horizontal line on the left and right sides is generally 2/3 of the length of the middle vertical line. The inserted hair is similar to a triangle, but the waist is thinner, that is, the flowers on both sides are generally concentrated near the focus, and the inverted T-shape highlights the linear composition. It is advisable to choose hemispherical flowers with strong line sense. This is a shape with symmetrical patterns on all sides. The outline of flower arrangement is hemispherical. Hemispherical flower arrangement has a larger flower head and a less prominent floral organ. This kind of flower arrangement is soft, romantic, relaxed and comfortable, and is often used for the decoration of coffee tables and dining tables. Cone is a symmetrical flower pattern, which can be seen around. Shaped like a pagoda, it is steady and solemn. From all angles, it is triangular in side view and circular in top view. Its interpolation method is between triangle and hemisphere. L This is an asymmetrical flower pattern, which is suitable for window sill or corner. It is basically similar to the inverted T-shape, but its left and right sides are not equal in length. One side is the long axis, and the other side is the short axis, emphasizing that the vertical and horizontal lines extend outward. The equilateral triangle is an asymmetrical and balanced flower pattern with dynamic beauty. It is the most commonly used flower pattern in artistic flower arrangement. 5. When practicing comic knowledge, you can draw with A4 ordinary copy paper. If you want to submit a manuscript (draft) after proficiency, you have to draw a ruler line with special comic paper, which is convenient for the author, but also expensive. It is recommended to use it after proficiency. Otherwise, you might as well waste your time practicing cartoons on A4 paper. There are several basic elements: 1. Script (story 2. Split mirror 3. Comedy language consists of these three. 2. Draw the characters and their dialogues roughly with a pencil. 3. On the basis of pencil lines, add with a black pen, carefully sketch clothes and so on. 4. Add background and hair. Draw all black parts of the background, etc. Where it is painted out (beyond the predetermined area), it is modified with white poster color. 5. According to the fixed specifications of transparent drawing paper, cut out various patterns with a knife. 6. Fill (the manuscript) with white poster color, etc. That's it. 7. Plant words on the manuscript through photo typesetting, and then print after imposition. 8. After printing, the printing factory will bind the printed pages into a book with a cover. Long cartoons are made by repeating the above steps over and over again in the case of new scripts. You don't have to think and draw at the same time. You must decide the plot at step 1. The so-called "script". The story is the basis of comics, the split mirror is the expression of the story, and the comic language is the ingenious connection between the story and the split mirror. In addition to the traditional hand-drawing, you can also draw cartoons directly on the computer with a hand-drawing board, and then make various effect networks. I won't explain the steps one by one. In fact, the most important thing in painting is imagination. Patience. The most important foundation of comics is based on sketches. Mind: You might as well take a small sketch book with you in your life, often sketch the details of your life and find some interesting things. Draw it and exercise your lack of experience and imagination in the process of drawing cartoons. This is very helpful. Study hard and wish you success in doing what you like. 6. In illustration learning, the most important thing should be. If you have a good foundation and practice hard, you can do more creative illustration work. In fact, you have two choices, either you don't practice the basics, learn some CG knowledge, and engage in some related technical work of illustration in the future, and you can survive. Either practice the foundation well. Of course, the foundation cannot be built overnight. You can still choose to engage in some technical work of illustration first, and at the same time hone your basic skills of creation, and then embark on the road of creation in a year or two. It is a process of hard practice from no foundation to foundation. The foundation we are talking about is not to let you draw plaster still life from scratch, but the foundation needed for illustration creation. When the boss is not young, it is a waste of his life, time and money to draw still life from scratch. The basic course of Illustrator Digital Art Center is to refine the basic knowledge needed for illustration creation and remove the useless parts. Courses include composition, structure, modeling, dynamic design, perspective and other knowledge. Training you in a unique way can improve your basic ability in a short time.

There are books on the market that teach children elementary comics. You can look for it, and then there are too many tools: special-purpose pen (nib: D student pen, G pen, multi-purpose pen, round pen), special-purpose comic paper (B4, etc. ). Pencil, eraser, light blue pencil (can't be copied for revision and typing) ```````````````` There are too many books.

Later, according to certain principles, the science of expressing the spatial position, outline and projection of an object with lines is called perspective. Terms of light and dark painting. Refers to the brightness change of light, backlight and reflective parts of objects in painting and the expression method of this change. An object has three bright and dark states under illumination, which are called three major surfaces, namely, bright surface, middle surface and dark surface. The light and color of the three major surfaces are generally dark in the middle. The light and shade of the three major surfaces are generally manifested in five basic levels, namely, five tones: ① the bright surface is always illuminated; (2) Gray surface-middle surface, half bright and half dark; (3) the dividing line between the bright part and the dark part; (4) a backlight part on the dark side; ⑤ Reflect the dark and bright parts of a single surface affected by ambient reflection. It has always been the basic method of square painting to describe objects according to the level of light and shade. During the Renaissance, vasari once said in "Biography of Artists": "When painting, after drawing the outline, use shades to roughly distinguish the light and shade, and then carefully display the light and shade in a single room, so does the bright part." Rembrandt is a master of shadow techniques among European painters. Terms of contour plastic arts. Refers to the edge line that defines the range of performance objects. In painting and sculpture, whether the outline is correct is regarded as the key to the success or failure of the work. Terminology of composition and plastic arts. Refers to the structural configuration method of artistic images in works. It is an important means for plastic arts to express the ideological content of works and gain artistic appeal. One of the important factors of color painting. It is a complex phenomenon that various objects absorb and reflect light to varying degrees and act on people's audience. Due to the different textures of objects, the absorption and reflection of various colors of light are different, so everything in the world has formed ever-changing colors. The qualitative appearance that tonal colors can present. Different colors in nature are infinitely rich, such as purplish red, silver gray and orange yellow. Chromaticity refers to the inherent lightness of the color itself. For example, among the seven basic colors, purple * * * is the darkest and yellow * * * is the brightest. Tone is also called tone. Under the irradiation of light source color with certain hue and lightness, the surface of the object is shrouded in a unified color tendency and color atmosphere, which is hue. Colors have no attributes. Colors are basically divided into warm colors (also called hot colors) and cool colors (also called cool colors). Red, orange and yellow are warm colors, giving people a warm, warm and outgoing feeling. Zero-based How to Learn Illustration The zero-based illustration method is as follows:

1, to choose a useful software, you need to choose a useful software first.

2. Start copying and laying the foundation, look at a large number of illustrations, and establish your own material library. Then choose the content you are interested in to copy. In the process of copying, think about what is good about this painting, whether it is color matching, composition, or style characteristics, so that it can be used for reference in the future.

3. Illustration course can help you study more systematically. After the copying period, you have a certain understanding of illustration, and you can choose to sign up for an illustration training class. Under the guidance of teachers, people with poor self-control ability can also get higher learning efficiency. At this stage, they can learn theory and practice, have a deeper understanding of illustration, and start to output some better works.

4, fill the vacancy, after the early study and training, you can detect what weaknesses you have not mastered. You can make up for your shortcomings through a period of intensive training. For example, if the modeling ability is not particularly good, then concentrate on practicing shape grasping for a period of time, and you can find your own weaknesses according to your actual situation and overcome them one by one.

When learning illustrations, you can collect and select different types of illustrations and classify them, and then choose a direction you are interested in, so that the learning effect will be better.

In addition, when training painting skills, it is best to have someone to guide you, so that you can know what needs to be revised in the process of painting, and you can know your own shortcomings and correct them, which is also the progress of learning. On the contrary, if you want to make rapid progress in illustration, you must accept criticism from others and correct it in time.

To sum up, in the process of learning illustration, we should pay attention to every learning step, correct our mistakes in time, choose the right learning direction, and determine our own goals, so it is just around the corner to become an excellent illustrator.

What knowledge and skills do illustrators need? It takes about a year to become a qualified illustrator from scratch, provided that you choose a reliable training institution and study hard by yourself. Here is a brief introduction to the method of becoming an illustrator: 1. You can go to a sketch class to learn sketch after work or after school. It is suggested to find a teacher with enough time and patience. Sketch is very important! It's okay. You must practice more. If you feel that you have enough time, you can learn some software later or at the same time. 4, PS, AI should be able to. Learn painter first, then PS and AI. PS and AI only specialize in illustration and drawing. Drawing board is the foundation of illustrator, so you must learn it. An illustrator, without a tablet, can hardly express anything. Even if you love Al, it's actually faster and easier to operate in a graphics tablet. For more knowledge about illustration, it is suggested to know it in internal teaching. Dana Education's 1v 1 supervision and tracking learning mode enables zero-based Xiaobai and college students to get started quickly.
