Figure head stick figure

Step 1: Choose the right brush.

Pencils are characterized by rich and delicate tone levels, easy to fix, easy to erase and modify, and easy to describe in depth. The number in front of the letter represents the degree of softness or hardness. Generally speaking, 8B is the softest, 8H is the hardest, and HB is moderate in hardness. The refill of charcoal pen is thicker and the texture is softer than that of pencil.

Carbon bars are generally square bars, and the shape determines that you can draw details, draw a large area, and have a layered display.

Tissue paper and rubber are used to adjust the relationship between big black, white and gray, and can also be blurred and overshoot.

The second step is to observe the composition:

In the observation stage, there is only one purpose, to "grasp" the overall feeling of the model, but this is not the original model moving out of a model as it is. At this stage, the thinking must be clear, around the portrait model, and don't think about the depth or other things in the later period. On the basis of image, it is easier to make your picture stand out by exaggerating the characteristics of the model appropriately.

Composition is business positioning, how to highlight the theme and enhance the attraction to the audience. A good composition will make you one step ahead of others at the starting point. On the contrary, it will affect the effect of the work, and it will be chaotic and indiscriminate.

The most exquisite and common composition is the "Sanqi Law". Sketches are mostly vertical, with seven points above and three points below. The purpose of composition is to make the picture look more comfortable and stable. This is more like a feeling that art is naturally casual.

The brightness of the manuscript: when creating black, white and gray details, we must judge them in combination with the structure. There must be the logic of building blocks in your mind, and it is more convenient to understand the model as a building block to create a large area of color. At this time, when we deal with individual parts, don't forget the whole. When establishing a big relationship, we must go forward as a general, and don't care about the gains and losses of a small part, because painting is not achieved overnight and needs repeated adjustment and revision.

When painting, you should think, use your head, focus on the boundary between light and shade, and pay attention to being close to reality and away from virtuality. It is necessary to form the habit of "turning a blind eye" to local areas. Briefly summarize the objects, such as the habit of "only looking at the outside without looking at the inside" when drawing outlines, and the habit of "only looking at the outside without looking at the facial features and hair" when drawing headshots. This will soon find that the shape is large and the proportion is large.

Sketch, emphasizing a quasi-word:

Form. Emphasize the stability and accuracy of basic sketch (abstract and exaggerated paintings are created on the basis of formal accuracy).

Type. Including the head or the internal structure of still life, draw three-dimensional things on a piece of white paper, and pay attention to this type if you want to draw something more realistic! Form is the foundation of form.

Space. Whether it is color painting, sketch or oil painting, it is called seeking a spatial relationship, mainly the truth in front and the illusion in the back. For example, if there is an apple in front of you and an apple on the wall, you should focus on the front and paint it deeply, with a simple relationship between black, white and gray behind it. The heads are the same. We must first accurately describe facial features and forehead hair. Remember to express it with your face. A lock of hair also has its thickness. Only by using your face can you be more accurate and stable.

The first step, conception and composition. Before painting, we should form the habit of observing the characteristics of the object and brewing our own emotions. According to the object's occupation, age, temperament, hobbies, etc. , consider how to show, want to achieve what kind of effect. With a plan in mind, you will be bold and unrestrained when writing. Don't rush to draw, pay attention to whether the position of the characters is appropriate and whether the space in front of the characters is large when composing. Although this is a cliche, it is the key to determine whether the whole painting is complete and comfortable.

The second step is to pay close attention to the outline. This is very important. It is inconceivable that high-rise buildings will rise without a solid wall foundation. The outline is the foundation of the wall. To grasp it accurately, we must grasp the basic shape of the head, the position of the five senses, the position of the boundary between light and shade, and the relationship between the head and the shoulder.

To draw an accurate outline, we must observe the whole, and use more auxiliary lines to help determine the position. When grasping the shape, we should pay close attention to the characteristics and draw it like a painting. The shape has begun to take shape, and the image is ready to come out. Just like the artist at the gate of the park uses scissors to silhouette, it is easy to show the character image. Although we can't see the thin internal structure clearly, we can still recognize him. Some people didn't notice this step, and the shape was still very vague, so they hurried to draw the five senses. How can the picture drawn in this way be close to the object!

On the basis of drawing the correct shape, the position of the five senses also needs to work hard. Pay attention to the use of the central axis when drawing facial features. Except for the absolute front, the central axis is an isolated line according to the dynamics of the head. Many students don't understand this. When you draw a slightly sideways angle, you can't turn your head. Of course, it feels bad. According to the basic law of three stops and five purposes, the position of five senses can find out the image characteristics of people in nature and draw thousands of differences between people. Pay attention to the length, width and thickness of eyebrows, eyes, nose and ears when sketching. If this step is not allowed, don't delve into it, let alone explain the darkness. When drawing eyebrows, pay attention to the bone points of the upper and lower recesses of the eye socket and the thick eyebrows at the convex turning point of the temporal bone. When drawing eyes, the four corners of the eyes should be on a parallel line, otherwise the eyes will fluctuate and feel uncomfortable. It is important to draw eyes. There is a difference between the upper eyelid and the lower eyelid. Generally, the upper eyelid is heavier because it is thick and the eyelashes are deep. The shadow cast on the eyeball is often the deepest part of the whole painting, which is very magical. It is also easy to wrap the eyeball in the eyelids. The lower eyelid should be bright, otherwise it will be like playing with makeup. The description of the mouth is also related to the expression of people. First of all, we must determine the thickness of the upper and lower lips, but also pay attention to the fact that the lips can not be hooked too hard with lines, and the mouth is drooping and drooping, which is very subtle. Draw ears with eyes, nose and mouth. Some candidates are unwilling to draw more ears, and even regard them as a burden. Either you can't cross the space, or you can't dance well and destroy the whole.

The dividing line between light and dark is the key to determine the depth and volume of the head. The most prominent part of the cheekbone at the boundary line is high or low, prominent or soft, depending on the visual characteristics. Although the cheekbones in the bright areas are not so obvious, they must be drawn symmetrically with the dark areas. By the way, it is very important to sketch people, and the symmetry of eyes, ears and nostrils.

The natural color of hair is black. As long as you analyze it carefully, it is by no means dark, but there is also a contrast between light and dark. Hair is formed on the skull, and structure must be considered in hairstyle and light and shade. Try to make your hair fluffy and rich in texture.

The third step, in-depth characterization. At this time, we should take a good look to see which parts are deepest and strongest, so we should start from these places, usually from eyebrows, eyes, nose and temporal bone, and we can grasp the characteristics and draw a big relationship at once, but we must avoid staring at the painting repeatedly, so that the relationship will be unbalanced if we draw too many parts. What to draw first and then what to draw can be considered according to the characteristics of the object. For example, the angle is a little off, the cheekbones are more prominent, some knife-shaped eyebrows are thicker and have a lot of personality, and some eyes are more intense, so they will start.

In depth, we should always maintain the overall relationship and understand that the quality of a painting mainly depends on the overall sense and integrity of the whole picture. If you just stay on the five senses and think it is the finishing touch, and ignore other aspects, then the whole picture will be bad. When we watch an art exhibition, we always look at the whole painting from a distance, are interested in some parts, and then take a closer look. No one goes directly to the painting and stares at some parts when watching the exhibition. Wouldn't that be ridiculous?

Also, if you want to take the exam, it is recommended to accurately grasp the type first, and then consider the light and shade. The light and shade only show a sense of block, because there is not so much time in the exam time. See if you can draw. If you can't reach your goal, I'll give it to you. This book is good because it took them a long time. What we need to learn is the method of faceted. Look at me trying so hard to adopt!
