When appreciating illustrations, () is the main thing. -How to appreciate CG illustrations?

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 appreciate CG illustration as a form of visual art, specifically as a part of practical art, has its own aesthetic characteristics. Among them, the most obvious ones are: first, purposefulness and restriction; Second, practicality and popularity; Third, visualization and visualization; Fourth, aesthetics and interest; Fifth, creativity and artistic imagination; Sixth, diversification and diversification; Due to the diversity of media, content, expression and appeal object, modern illustration also has diversified and diversified aesthetic standards. Illustration [Edit this paragraph] Illustration forms There are many forms of modern illustrations, which can be classified by media or function. According to the classification of media, it is basically divided into two parts, namely print media and film and television media. Print media includes poster advertisement illustration, newspaper illustration, magazine book illustration, product packaging illustration, corporate image publicity material illustration, etc. Film and television media include movies, television and computer screens. Poster advertising illustration: also known as poster, poster. In the era when advertisements mainly rely on printed media to transmit information, they can be said to be in a dominant position in advertisements. However, with the emergence of film and television media, its application scope has narrowed. Newspaper illustration: Newspaper is one of the best media for information transmission. It is the most popular, low cost, large circulation, wide spread, fast speed and short production cycle. Illustration of magazine books: including the design of front cover and back cover and the illustration of words, which are widely used in all kinds of books. Such as literature books, children's books, science and technology books, etc. This kind of illustration is gradually declining. In the future, it will still exist in a large number of electronic books and newspapers. Product packaging illustration: product packaging makes illustration more widely used. Product packaging design includes three elements: logo, graphics and text. It has two missions: one is to introduce products, and the other is to establish brand image. The most prominent feature is that it is between plane and three-dimensional design. Illustration of corporate image publicity materials: it is the VI design of the enterprise. It is included in the basic system and application system of corporate image design. Film and television illustration in film and television media: point out the illustrations in movies and TV now. Generally, it appears in advertisements. Movie and TV illustrations also include computer screens. Now the computer screen has become the performance space of commercial illustration, and many graphic library animations, game programs and graphic tables have become a member of commercial illustration. The forms of illustrations, such as figures, free forms, realistic techniques, black and white, colors, materials, photos, computer production, etc., can be applied to the production of illustrations as long as they can be "graphics". The classification of vector illustration is based on the current market positioning: vector fashion comics, realistic comics, American and Korean illustrations and other concept settings. According to the production method: hand-drawn, vector, commercial, and so on. Pixels are classified according to the drawing style of illustrations: Japanese comics and illustrations, European and American illustrations, Hong Kong illustrations, Korean game illustrations, and Taiwan Province romance novel cover illustrations. Because there are too many styles now, I just classify them simply. In addition, there are hand-made origami and cloth patterns abroad, and all styles are neck and neck. Illustration Status Quo Illustration is the most developed place: The United States is a country with a very developed illustration market, and appreciating illustrations has become a habit in society. On the one hand, a large number of independent illustration products are sold in the terminal market, such as illustration books, magazines, illustration greeting cards and so on. On the other hand, illustration, as a part of visual communication system (graphic design, illustration, commercial photography), is widely used in graphic advertisements, posters, covers and other design contents. The illustration market in the United States is also very specialized, which is divided into children, sports, science fiction, food, digital, pure artistic style, humor and other professional types, and each type has a special illustrator. The whole illustration market is very standardized and the competition is fierce, because the average income level of illustrators is three times that of ordinary Americans. Illustrations in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan: As we all know, Japanese commercial animation has a huge market and operation team. Animation is an important branch of illustration industry. Before CG technology (ComputerGraphics) entered the field of illustration, hand-drawn animation had become a sunrise industry in Japan. Today's younger generation is more and more inclined to use computer digital technology. In South Korea, with the game industry climbing to the second pillar industry of the national economy in recent years, illustrations, especially digital illustrations, have sprung up everywhere, and the game characters designed with digital illustrations have also won more market space with the popularity of Korean games in China. At the same time, Hong Kong and Taiwan illustrators are still looking for their own way of industry, although their works have obvious traces of learning from Japan. Illustration education: Beijing Institute of Printing, Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, Beijing Broadcasting Institute, Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts, Central Academy of Fine Arts and other institutions have set up illustrations or related majors in the past two years, but the teaching content often only includes publication illustrations rather than commercial illustrations in a complete sense. But in foreign countries, the combination of illustration education and market is very close. Many well-known illustrators are visiting teachers in various universities, and they have brought the most fashionable and cutting-edge business consciousness to the school. Nowadays, commercial illustrations popular in foreign markets include publication illustrations, cartoon mascots, video and game art designs and advertising illustrations. In fact, in China, illustrations have spread all over print and electronic media, commercial places, public institutions, commodity packaging, film and television performance posters, corporate advertisements and even T-shirts, diaries and New Year cards. Illustrators can use PHOTOSHOP, PAINTER, two bitmap illustrations, SAI (Japanese software) to draw pictures, CORELDRAW, ILLUXXXXXX (English name: forgotten = _ =) to draw vector illustrations, so it is essential to make CG illustrations with graphic flat plates. Moreover, the performance of the host is better. CG animation needs more computers. CG animation is mainly done by MAYA. Many other auxiliary software plug-ins will be used in animation abroad. But it is also good to learn Maya well. A Maya is enough for you to study for several years ... = _ = Learning CG to find books is a bit backward. There are many CG tutorials now, and you can learn faster by watching video tutorials. The expression of illustrations is 1. Japanese and Korean style.

Features: Beautiful painting style, slender figure, little change between men and women. But at the same time, it is slightly different, such as Japanese style is more casual and life-oriented, Korean style is more gorgeous and romantic, basically similar to realistic style.

2. European and American styles

Features: European and American style illustrations are mainly realistic, emphasizing real texture and texture, and like exaggerated expressions to make characters look more vivid and energetic.

3. China ancient style

Features: Compared with the illustrations of the above two artistic styles, the original Chinese painting also has its own distinctive features, which are reserved but full of tension. Although China's original paintings are more or less influenced by those of Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, its profound classical art, elegance and mystery are still its characteristics.

4.q version illustration

Features: The Q version of illustrations is the most prominent, with figures and animals as the mainstay. Characters are cute, exaggerated or funny, and the proportion is short. Although the lines are simple and the color blocks are clear, the characters have distinct personalities.
