Chinese Clothing Illustration —— Summary and Appreciation of Several Illustration Styles

Style characteristics of Guo Chao's illustrations The style characteristics of Guo Chao's illustrations are as follows:

1. Common illustrations in national tide style, with rich and delicate lines, even colors and low saturation. The overall Chinese style is heavy but exquisite and durable, with a wider scope of application.

There are many lines in the picture, but the lines will be thinner. Basically, lines are used as bones to shape every object, and the overall color is more unified.

3. Lines are an important part, and the number of lines determines the fineness of your picture.

4. A picture has 1-3 general color systems to form an illustration.

5. The color is not fixed, but it can be light and bright, paying more attention to the performance of ink painting and the paper texture of the picture to reflect the characteristics of Chinese style.

6. Creating with the texture of rice paper or kraft paper background will give people a stronger Chinese flavor, and the background will be treated with ink.

7. Some colors in the picture are antique, the overall color is less, the saturation is lower, some are gorgeous, and the saturation is higher, but the overall color is not too much, and there is a general color range. You should control the number of your own colors.

National tide style illustration is an illustration that combines Chinese style elements with trend elements, and uses Chinese style elements to draw people and things that appear in the world. The color matching, composition and elements of the picture should have obvious Chinese flavor.

The earliest illustration of tidal wind in China was 20 18.

In 20 18, the "national tide" wind rose, and the national tide illustrations also appeared.

Guo Chao's illustrations are in full swing, and China's cultural self-confidence is vividly displayed in Guo Chao-style artistic creation. Guo Chao's illustration is a love of traditional culture. Based on the traditional color of Chinese style, it is low-key, deep and solemn, and presents illustrations of famous scenic spots, Beijing opera, zodiac and so on. Illustration not only put China's excellent culture on the TV stage, but also entered people's lives. Guo Chao's illustration is a unique painting style, which alleviates people's aesthetic fatigue of previous illustrations and shows young people's aesthetic pursuit of high quality.

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:

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 paintings generally refer to all works of art 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:

The characters are three-dimensional and close to realism, and the clothing has a strong 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 is 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.
