What tools do you need to sketch?

The tools needed for drawing board are computer, drawing software and drawing board.

1, computer

If you already have a computer, use your current computer. Notebooks can also draw illustrations. After use, if the computer slows down, resulting in slow operation or frequent crashes, then it is necessary to consider whether to expand the memory or replace the new computer.

2. Drawing software

Digital drawing uses drawing software to draw pictures. There are all kinds of software available, from free software to expert drawing software.

Although the high-priced software is rich in functions, I don't know if the painting is good unless I use it myself. Practicing physical habits is more important than thinking about the operation of software with your head.

3. Graphics tablet

Drawing board is a drawing tool connected with computer, which can draw smoother lines than mouse drawing. If you want to draw with a computer, it will be a device that needs to be prepared first.

The method of sketch:

1, draft

Generally, the processing of hand-drawn line drawing is to remove the color after scanning the manuscript, and the lasso below keeps the harmonious part of color and light to establish a new layer, and then adjusts the color scale to remove the dry spots.

Draft color block draft and line draft, color block draft can capture the composition and cold and warm trend of the picture most quickly; Starting with lines, especially keeping the draft lines, will reduce the realism of the picture to some extent.

2. Check the bill of exchange

Reduce the transparency of the draft, or adjust the brush transparency to 60-80% when drafting. You can create a new layer on the draft layer; Then draw lines according to the draft (the lines should be smooth).

Step 3: Color

You can make a background color first, which is opposite to the color to be drawn, to prevent the lines from being drawn when coloring; Then color it. If it is a scanned hand-drawn line manuscript, you can generally create a new layer on the line manuscript layer. The layer mode is "positive overlay", and the new layer is colored.

4. Processing

Erase lines that should not exist in the picture; Modify and refine the details; The common method of blending line drawing with color layer is to adjust the hue, and then blur it slightly to reduce the transparency.
