Do you have any illustrations?

Generally speaking, any art foundation starts with the basic skills of sketching. Even the early works of abstract painting masters like Picasso can be copied by academic art students.

To do illustrations, it is best to learn some sketching. Perhaps many people think that Japanese girl comic style does not require too rigorous skills, but mastering this technique will help you in your future work. There are indescribable benefits to you. For example, the mastery of form, proficiency in composition, and depiction of background all require certain sketching skills.

The tools required are determined according to personal requirements. There is nothing particularly necessary or unnecessary. Even a piece of chalk can complete an excellent work.

However, illustrations nowadays are generally divided into CG and traditional drawings.

Although many people in the industry no longer adhere to traditional drawing, the most famous masters in the world still use traditional drawing. After all, computers cannot imitate real-life brushstrokes so closely.

The tools for traditional drawing are similar to those used for general art learning - pencils, ink pens, markers, watercolors, gouache, colored pencils, acrylics, and so on.

The paper depends on the needs. For example, pencils require sketch paper, and art pens require copy paper of more than 80 grams.

The tone of watercolor is relatively elegant and fresh, suitable for the painting of girls; the color of gouache is thick, suitable for realistic depiction by authors with deep foundation.

Many science fiction painting masters like to use acrylic paint. Although this kind of paint is easy to dry, damages the brush, and is difficult to modify, it is deeply loved by many masters because of its rich expressive power and free and bold brushstrokes. .

For the tools mentioned above, the pencils are the best made in Germany, the markers are the best made in Japan, and for watercolors, gouache, acrylics, etc., you can use Winsor and Newton.

If you want to choose a brand with good overall strength, Japan's Sakura brand is a good choice for every tool.

If the requirements are low-priced and cost-effective, you can choose the domestic Marley brand.

CG uses computers and drawing software to draw, which requires certain hardware configuration.

For example, flat-panel monitors, because LCD monitors tend to have color casts, so illustrators generally do not use LCDs. Even if they do, they must use a flat-screen monitor to correct the color difference.

I won’t go into the basic configuration of the computer. The main thing needed is a digital tablet.

A scanner may also be required.

I have briefly explained the tool requirements for computer graphics before, and I will post the address here. (Sweat...I am a lazy person...)
