1, ipadpro+ drawing software (procreate, MedibangPaint, SketchBook).

2. Computer+drawing board+drawing software (ps, sai, ai, sketch).

Second, solid basic skills.

There is no shortcut to painting. To be an illustrator, it is essential to lay a solid foundation, constantly polish the feel and practice repeatedly.

Practice direction: line, perspective, sketch, modeling, composition, color, etc.

Find a big touch you like in the early stage and copy his works, and you will make rapid progress. We must pay attention to improving our original ability in the future.

Try not to choose the self-study exam.

First, there are various tutorials on the Internet, which can't provide targeted guidance.

Secondly, in the process of self-study, influenced by factors such as self-control, people are likely to give up in the middle of study.

Third, to err is human. As long as you study, there will be problems. Online tutorials can't solve all your problems, and the learning effect is hard to guarantee.

How to learn illustration based on zero is divided into several steps: the first step is to sketch every day, the second step is to sketch in fantasy, and the third step is to practice color.

The first step is to sketch every day.

If you want to improve your painting skills quickly, you'd better have at least five paintings a day. We can start with copying. Copy a few copies and you can start drawing entities. The time should be controlled within 5 minutes, and the later the shorter. Finally, when you can control the modeling, you should start to practice sketching.

(For example, at the railway station, you watch people around you draw pictures, and they won't stop for you. Remember the action with your eyes and then realize it on the brush. Practice this for a while, and you will find that no matter what kind of action you think of, you can draw it even if there is no real person posing in front of you.

The second step is fantasy sketch.

Of course, you still can't let go of sketching in the second exercise, but at this time, the modeling direction of sketching needs to be changed, that is, instead of drawing real people and things, start sketching in fantasy and draw your favorite style. Determine one of your styles, such as comic book style, Q version style, realistic style, etc. And start targeted sketch training. You can choose to copy first in the initial stage.

The third step is color practice.

First of all, you should choose a good tutorial, learn according to the software you are good at, give priority to learning the software, and then learn the coloring steps of others. Remember that it is impossible to learn the specific methods of coloring in the early stage, but the steps can be used completely (for example, draw a draft first, then tick the line, then tile the background color, then add dark colors and highlights, etc. )

After getting familiar with the painting steps, close all the books and close all the tutorials. Draw a color draft according to the existing level, XDDD. You'll find that OMG draws badly by himself. At this time, open the tutorial, carefully look at other people's specific coloring methods, and compare the retouching. The final picture will still be very bad, but it will be improved compared with before.

After a while, I suggest you copy the color illustrations. To what extent did you copy them? The action, background and color are all others', but the shape is different, that is, the face looks different, or the hairstyle and clothes are different. This can avoid the risk of losing style after copying for a long time. Of course, if you haven't found your own style, you can totally copy it.

Then in the coloring stage, you must absorb the color of the original image with a straw (including every inch of different colors of the highlight shadow). Then recall the coloring steps and specific methods I learned before, and restore the painting with reference to the original picture as much as possible. Practice like this for a while, and you will find that your coloring level has advanced by leaps and bounds.

Illustration Introduction The illustration introduction is as follows: 1. To choose a good software, you need to choose a good software first.

2. Start copying and laying the foundation, look at a large number of illustrations, and establish your own material library. Then choose the content you are interested in to copy. In the process of copying, think about what is good about this painting, whether it is color matching, composition, or style characteristics, so that it can be used for reference in the future.

3. Illustration course can help you study more systematically. After the copying period, you have a certain understanding of illustration, and you can choose to sign up for an illustration training class. Under the guidance of teachers, people with poor self-control ability can also get higher learning efficiency. At this stage, they can learn theory and practice, have a deeper understanding of illustration, and start to output some better works.

4, fill the vacancy, after the early study and training, you can detect what weaknesses you have not mastered. You can make up for your shortcomings through a period of intensive training. For example, if the modeling ability is not particularly good, then concentrate on practicing shape grasping for a period of time, and you can find your own weaknesses according to your actual situation and overcome them one by one.

Learning Skills When learning illustrations, you can collect and select different types of illustrations for classification, and then choose a direction you are interested in, so that the learning effect will be better.

In addition, when training painting skills, it is best to have someone to guide you, so that you can know what needs to be revised in the process of painting, and you can know your own shortcomings and correct them, which is also the progress of learning. On the contrary, if you want to make rapid progress in illustration, you must accept criticism from others and correct it in time.

To sum up, in the process of learning illustration, we should pay attention to every learning step, correct our mistakes in time, choose the right learning direction, and determine our own goals, so it is just around the corner to become an excellent illustrator.

How to learn illustration from scratch? First of all, you need to have artistic skills. It doesn't matter if you don't have artistic skills. You can learn from the teacher from scratch and accumulate knowledge a little bit, which will be effective. The most important thing is to think more and understand the essence of painting, so that the basic skills of illustration and original painting will be improved quickly. Learning illustration is not a simple matter, and it is even more difficult to learn from scratch. First, we should start with the simplest modeling. The essence of painting is form and color, and no matter how complicated the picture is, it can also be summarized as these two things. Therefore, mastering modeling is the only way to learn illustration. From simple shapes such as squares, triangles and circles to complex shapes, we must have strong observation ability and accurate description ability. Second, master the color processing method. Color is very important. We should start with monochrome, gradually master the collocation and application of complex colors, gradually transition from the use of bright colors to the use of primary colors, master the use of contrast colors and complementary colors, and make ourselves a color master. Third, from plagiarism to originality. To test whether you are qualified to learn more about illustration, you can learn about Guangzhou Zhongjiao Online Education Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhongjiao Online"), a domestic training institution engaged in Internet skills teaching and business, offering online learning courses such as 3D modeling, original painting, film and television post-production, design, etc., and providing ten all-round and three-dimensional systematic learning and growth solutions for zero-based beginners.
