Self-taught Board Drawing Illustration —— As an illustrator, how to teach yourself how to draw?

How to teach yourself how to become an illustrator The steps to teach yourself how to become an illustrator are as follows:

Understand the basic skills of illustration. Structure refers to the anatomical structure of the painted things, and the illustrator must understand the internal structure of animals or objects. Muscles, bones, skin, hair, trunk, roots, branches and leaves are all components of the structure.

Secondly, you should be familiar with the software you want to use. You can find many tutorials of this software on the Internet. You can use a grid to draw shapes, or decompose each object into simpler shapes, such as squares or triangles, so as to get a way to simplify sketches.

Imitation, you can find some simple illustrations to copy first, and then find some relatively difficult illustrations you like to practice after you achieve satisfactory results. Read more pictures at ordinary times, learn more painting skills from others, and exercise more to strengthen yourself. Next, you can find some jobs about illustration, not for salary, but for learning and growing at work.

Extended data:

As an art form, illustration has become an important visual communication form in modern design. With its intuitive image, true sense of life and beautiful appeal, it occupies a specific position in modern design and is widely used in many fields of modern design.

The main work of an illustrator includes drawing illustrations and covers for books, magazines, newspapers, manuals, novels, textbooks and other publications, as well as drawing greeting cards, posters, advertisements, inkjet paintings, humorous paintings and so on.

Divided into electronic illustration and pure hand-drawing. There is a great demand for game and film illustrators. Similar to the game industry, each film and television work will also have a lot of mirror drawing and scene design work, which undoubtedly has a great demand for illustrators in the game and film industry.

Can I teach myself by sketching? The first _ ω ω ω ω ω ω ω ω ω ω ω ω ω ω ω 93

1. If you mainly want to sketch in the future, you can learn sketching on a zero basis, but you need to supplement your knowledge of painting according to your own needs during the learning process.

2. I think the practical knowledge in the early stage of painting is: the composition of sketch is helpful for painting; Basic proportion, including three courts and five eyes, the proportion of male and female individuals; Muscle distribution needs to know some basic muscles and muscle groups. At least don't draw too crooked.

3. Don't grind the line when sketching, it is easy for novices to grind the line. If the line drawing is not good, cancel redrawing. Beginners recommend using SAI, but it is not recommended to turn it too big for jitter correction. Generally less than 5. I use 3.

4. Most of the bottlenecks you encounter in sketching are because your basic skills of painting are not good, not that you can't draw by hand, but that you have no concept of sketching light and shade and no concept of color. If you can't satisfy this knowledge, ask, search, check videos, check books, and learn while painting.

5. Drawing is a rather boring thing. It's true. If beginners mainly want to draw two elements, they can copy some fan charts that they are interested in. If they just come out of still life sketches and plaster statues, they will easily get bored. . For example, I like to draw handsome guys, and what I want to do most is to draw a beautiful little brother QAQ.

Second _ self-teaching sketching is actually just a waste of time, and how many people can learn it.

I heard many students say that they want to teach themselves how to sketch. I can only say that the spirit of students who have this idea is commendable, but it is really discouraged, because in the painting industry, I have never met anyone who can succeed by sketching by himself. Of course, I admit there is, but how many people can do it unless they are particularly talented, hardworking and dedicated students? What board painter has no master? Don't all successful people have expert advice? What have we really achieved by self-study? Even the campus education from childhood is taught by teachers, isn't it? The best we can do is preview, which is not self-study. Of course, unless you just want to learn to play casually, don't pursue any results, and don't want to do board painting or part-time online painting in this field, then you can let yourself go and teach yourself casually, because it doesn't matter whether you learn well or not.

In order to help you learn how to avoid detours and pits, you can take a class taught by a master of board painting. Every night at eight o'clock, he will have a free live class on the Internet. He will talk about the illustration of the original board painting, which is very easy to understand and humorous. We can not only explain in simple terms from the knowledge level, but also let us know how to learn painting from the perspective of thinking. The greatest value of learning from a master is that the value of self-study lies in self-study for more than half a year, which is not as good as that of others with a master for one day, 365 days a year. He gives lectures every night. If you like to listen, you can go to his WeChat * (homophone): front row w9, back row Kaka. It is very simple to combine the above two groups of letters in order, Newton once said.

Second _ How to learn how to sketch.

1. When drawing lines with SAI and PS, especially when drawing lines, the brush should not be too thick, and it is best to draw lines with a thinner pen.

2. Don't cling to the brush, the brush can't save your hand.

You should stick to painting, don't expect to draw a complete work in a few hours. The big boss works for dozens of hours, so be patient. You'd better draw a little every day so that you won't get rusty. (I am a negative textbook)

4. copy with your head, don't copy like a fool, think about the layout and shape of the copy painting and keep it in mind.

As for the coloring part, I feel I'm still learning. I'll tell you when I understand it.

6. The most important thing in drawing is to practice more. I see that it took many bosses four or five years to reach their present level.

Third _ How to learn how to sketch the third lecture.

1, find a suitable board.

Wacom is the strongest board in the world, and the most suitable board for Wacom is bamboo. It is suggested that a CTL67 1 or 690 should be used for the graphics card tablet, the size of which is equivalent to the expansion of M scale, and the pressure sensitivity of 1024 is enough for the entry. The price is around 500 yuan, which is very cost-effective. 2. Appropriate software and CG tools.

Common CG softwares include Adobephotoshop (ps), AutodeskAliassketchbook (sb), CorelDRAWpainter, easypaintoolsai(SAI) and so on. Among them, ps, sai and sketchbook are most suitable for newcomers. Ps is powerful, including drawing/retouching/animation/typesetting, but it is difficult to get started. The game is small and light, specially designed for painting, especially watercolor/flat painting, with hand shake correction and easy to use; Sketchbook is a hand-drawn design tool with the simplest function and the easiest to use, but it is mainly used in the design field, while painting is slightly thin. There are many tutorials online, which can be searched to help you understand CG tools and get started quickly. 3. Have a heart that must be drawn.

After using the sketchpad, you will find that the feeling of the sketchpad is completely different from that of hand drawing, which is likely to make you overthrow the habit of hand drawing and establish a new habit of painting, and you will feel a little frustrated at first. This is a wake-up call. Long-term sketching has a great negative impact on hand-drawing ability, so don't give up hand-drawing completely when using blackboard writing. After all, a set of painting thinking mode formed by years of hand-drawing can't be abandoned (I have now become a semi-cerebral palsy state relying on graphic tablets). Then try to run in with the board and adapt to the line feeling and pressure feeling of the board. For example, you can try to use blackboard writing to form a certain feel before you start painting. Don't expect the hand-drawn feeling of sketch. Sketching in the face of a novice's new state will save you a lot of trouble. 4. Learn the correct sketch techniques.

The biggest difference between board painting and hand painting is that the surface of the board can't completely simulate the friction of paper. The surface of the board is much harder than paper and doesn't have elastic space like paper. Moreover, because the board accurately captures the path of the pen tip, if the board is drawn by hand, the drawn lines will be very uneven. When drawing with a wooden board, you should pay attention to your finger joints. Instead of using force, you should quickly "sweep" the line with the strength of your wrist or arm. It doesn't matter if the painting is wrong. Press CtrlZ on the keyboard to cancel redrawing until you are satisfied (when drawing with Ps, you need to press CtrlAltZ to cancel continuously). At first, you can pad a few sheets of paper or sketch books/wood clips. 5. Find your favorite painter.

Interest is always the best teacher, and a favorite painter can light a bright light for your road ahead. Pay more attention to collection at ordinary times. As an illustrator, how to teach yourself to draw? On huang jian's architecture. It's okay. I'm afraid. I'm afraid I'm sorry.

For many friends who want to learn illustration, learning illustration on the basis of 0 is a blank number. 0 stands for everything, you should learn and experience from scratch. 0 means that you are still useless in this industry, and 0 also means many challenges, which makes many 0-based friends walk to the door of the illustration and can only walk around twice. They silently said to themselves, I like illustrations, but I ...

In fact, there is absolutely no need to have such a mentality. If you want to be an illustrator, you need to first determine a correct concept: no matter who you are, you can't be born with an illustrator. Now even the top experts in the illustration industry are learning from scratch. No matter who you are, you must have a growing process. 0 is not our destination, but our starting point. 0 is where we rise, and it is the beginning for us to enlarge ourselves constantly.

The second _ Shuo Shuo Shuo commented on Xie Lou's shallowness, C said # miserable, beautiful and fresh, α.

It's normal to have all kinds of confusion in my heart when I just started to learn illustration. Don't wait until the confusion is solved to learn illustration, because your confusion can't disappear. Whose life is not confused? Confusion is actually a common psychological state of human beings. We can't be dominated by such forces. Admit confusion, respect confusion, break through confusion, confusion can accompany you, but not confusion. Many times, learning illustration is the best way to break through confusion.

Many classmates will say, I don't know where to find a good teacher. Even with a good teacher, people have no time to teach me. If this was the case 20 years ago, it is very convenient to study in the internet age now. I know a great board drawing illustration teacher. He broadcasts relevant knowledge points online for free at eight o'clock every night. After listening to this teacher's lecture, I have a sobering feeling. It turns out that painting is so simple, and real master teachers can explain complex things easily. Students who want to learn can go to Mr. Yu Rou's Wei Xin (homophonic): The above one is:

Because of learning, it is strong, because it is strong, it has a future, and the future is not waiting, nor complaining, it is useless, it is all learned, and it is born to be strong.

Third _ Comment on Hang Jian Building, the company's leg is broken.

Many students always stay in their own thinking space. I don't know which ghost says illustration is so difficult, so I have a fear. Can you learn this? Does it suit me? Actually, what I want to say is that everything is easy these days. You must endure everything. To put it bluntly, don't you just want to take a shortcut among shortcuts? Don't you just want to be successful? Frankly speaking, this situation exists, but it is rare and does not belong to us. Learning in a down-to-earth manner is the most reliable. It is ridiculous to wait for the illustrator to become simple and wait for the pie to fall from the sky. This is also a great waste of time. We're all adults. Don't have such childish dreams again. If you want to learn, open posture. I'm afraid I'll get nowhere in the end.

Send everyone an old saying: Is it difficult to do things in the world? For it, it is easy and difficult; If you don't do it, it's hard for easy people. Is it difficult for people to learn? Learned, difficult people will be easy; If you don't learn, it will be difficult for easy people.

1. Improve the painting function as much as possible.

If you are determined to draw illustrations, picture books and the like, there is an interesting fact that painting is not that important.

Even stick figures and pencil drawings are ok, as long as you can convey the information clearly.

Of course, under the same conditions, the winner must be a good painter. If possible, try to improve your painting skills, but if you can't draw well, don't be sad. You can still draw illustrations. 1. Draw first, then solve the problem.

Normal people suddenly have a strong desire to paint, and generally have their own emotions to express. In this case, slowly talk about composition, picture composition, color, three-dimensional deconstruction and so on. It will only dampen the enthusiasm of painting and make you feel that painting is not fun. It's best to draw first, because you have strong feelings and are not limited by rules, and the picture may be interesting. Picture Caton, find the answer according to the question. Improper modeling, etc. , and then make up the sketch. The color is ugly. Read the color correlation again. There is nothing new in composition, etc. Find the right keywords, and all the missing points can be filled in. Use related words to search, videos, blogs, books, all of them, and you can find more suitable suggestions according to the comments. If you can PS, AI is naturally good. If not, then learn slowly. You don't have to learn all the functions at once. You can go back if you have problems. The most important thing is the ability to draw by hand. When you encounter a problem, first look for the answer from the art knowledge. Sketch, structure, color, etc.

After this lap, if you encounter problems again, try to find answers from photography knowledge, such as composition, story, key moments and so on. This lap is stuck, try to find the answer from the film knowledge.

In addition, both Japan and South Korea have Chinese versions of how to become an illustrator, and you can choose according to your own direction. The fifth _ ten thousand tails beat punishment, and find γ and Yanbei.

1: Determine your own style.

My works have my preference for shapes and colors. I like Van Gogh, Jimmy and Miyazaki Hayao. CG games are also very nice, but I don't like them. After determining the style, the learning speed is faster, and some things don't need to be learned at all. I didn't study perspective, mapping and so on, which are not very important in my picture, and can be solved slowly later. But if you prefer to play battleships, perspective, mapping and even 3D are all necessary knowledge. Step 2 don't copy

. After a thorough understanding of a work, it is by no means plagiarism to be able to make something similar in style. If you can only copy but not create, the theoretical part needs to be supplemented. After understanding the theory, it is not difficult to create. If you don't understand, you can only paint according to your skin. 3. Learn from the master, and only after sending out the works can you have correct guidance.

Experts suggest that you keep your personal characteristics and point out the direction.

And some good teachers will often remove your characteristics and give modular suggestions to make the picture mediocre. Painting skills are not so important, but your thoughts, feelings and expressions are more important.

Many people draw better than Miyazaki Hayao, but not everyone can compare with us.

For example, in Beijing, Chen Danqing, old painters and painters, Huang Yongyu, etc. Be sure to go to the offline exchange meeting. What he said on the spot is very different from the video, and he often has the opportunity to ask questions on the spot. Ask experts, ask more theoretical questions, and don't ask low-end hands-on questions.

4. Participate in difficult competitions.

Only in this way can we keep up with the first-line experts and know where we are. Try to do something slightly above your ability. I used to draw only one page, and I drew a picture book for the first time. I made many mistakes in my haste before I realized my shortcomings. Look at the award-winning works in previous years after submission. The composition and creativity are excellent. The gap between them is even more obvious. Although you can take some foreign orders and understand the degree of market recognition, newcomers don't have to spend too much time on it. When the skills are not mature, try different skills and draw more. Foreign orders often specify the theme and style, and will also give you some illustrations and even composition sketches. The two most difficult problems in painting have been omitted for you. And these two questions are what illustrators need to think most: "What to draw?" "How to draw?"

I like this sentence very much:

The history of the whole art development is not a history of skilled technology, but a history of changing ideas and requirements.

-Gombrich: The painting skills of The Story of Art are not so important, but the idea of the picture and the information you want to convey are more important.

I hope it helps.

After reading the comments, add one more point, how to keep the right direction:

5. Be sure to communicate with the master.

Although their feedback is only a few words, there is enough information for you to adjust your direction.

Once comments talk about color, composition, or lack of story. Look for knowledge points from the keywords they feedback. Be sure to remember humility, courtesy and gratitude. Thank you for your patient comments. Don't hesitate to reach out to the parties and ask them to elaborate in 8 thousand words. Once you give the key words, buy a book and find a video to show your sincerity. In this way, the next time you send a picture, you have got rid of the old problems and developed a new style. They will see your sincerity and are more willing to communicate with you. I often meet good people who tell me about the picture in private. Thank you very much.

Don't be afraid to lose face, don't be afraid to ask silly questions, make more mistakes and quickly add blank knowledge points.

From beginners to serious learners, the feedback information has changed from "awesome" to "here, here is not quite right" If you are badly hit, you can stop and show this painting to friends who appreciate it and ask for encouragement and praise. Then try to draw it again, change it again, and ask for criticism and suggestions after promotion.

Always remember your original heart. If you paint for fun, you don't have to go to the fork in the road. Rest when you are tired, not for quick success, just be happy. If you are happy, your work will be happy:) Really ~ ~
