Learn illustration,
First, decide whether you draw by hand or by computer.
If it is hand-painted, you need to know some materials and brushwork needed for hand-painting. If you use a computer to draw pictures, you need a drawing machine first. If you choose a hand-painted screen, you need to learn his tutorial from the beginning. It's best to draw a few pieces by hand first, and then draw them by machine when you are almost proficient, so as to lay a good foundation.
Let's talk about material selection.
. Hand-painted, you can buy colored lead or gouache. If colored lead is used, China can dissolve anything. Gouache is best to buy Mary, cherry blossoms, and 24 colors will do. Well, gouache needs gouache, and gouache is preferably made of wool, which has strong water absorption and dirt resistance. For computer painting, just buy a hand-painted version. Hand-drawn board can also draw cartoons, with many functions.
Learning illustration still needs a lot of skills and techniques.
When molding, semi-circle and ellipse are used for molding.
A general shape will do. First, apply a layer of water on gouache paper, wait until the water is half dry, and then apply a layer of basic color, from shallow to deep, and over-dye layer by layer. This brushwork does not require many skills.
And leave it blank first.
. If you don't leave a blank, even if you use white paint, it won't be very bright. Try to adjust the shape more accurately in the process of painting. You can watch video tutorials on the hand-painted screen.
Generally speaking, to learn illustration, we must first look at the works of some masters. To find inspiration, we must lay a good foundation and learn from scratch. After laying a good foundation, you can play freely in the later stage to help yourself develop.
Zero-based How to Learn Illustration The zero-based illustration method is as follows:
1, to choose a useful software, you need to choose a useful 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.
When learning illustrations, you can collect and select different types of illustrations and classify them, 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.
What necessary software do you need to learn illustration? I _ 谥谥谥谥谥谥谥谥谥谥谥谥. Is it difficult?
Illustration is painted on paper, which is a traditional illustration painting method, using paper pigments and so on. This is what we usually call hand-drawn illustration, and learning software to draw illustration refers to graphic flat illustration, or board illustration, that is, drawing an illustration on the computer. Is it necessary to learn this form? Of course it is necessary. At present, online ordering of manuscripts basically requires drawing with graphic tablet, which is the mainstream demand in the current market because of its convenient modification and fast drawing efficiency. So it is necessary for everyone to draw an illustration through software. You can understand what the following board painting is about, and you will know why you need software to draw illustrations.
The popular understanding of board painting is to paint on the graphic tablet of electronic equipment, and the painting effect will be presented on the computer, and the traditional brush and paper will be replaced by ps software and sai software. As the product of scientific and technological progress, the board painting has obvious advantages of being very convenient for repeated modification and adjustment, which helps the painter to save a lot of time and energy. The board painting works are also easy to save, and there is basically no cost without pigments and paper. The following figure shows the effect of drawing on the tablet.
Two Ann's eyes are drying peppers, but it is difficult to know the design idea of the software.
Many friends will wonder, I know how to operate the software. Why do I feel weak when I go to paint and can't draw any decent works? These paintings are simply terrible. On the one hand, you are not skilled in the use of software. On the other hand, you didn't pass the software design thinking, and you didn't master the software from the real level. We usually say that learning things should start from two levels: Tao and technique, in which technique is the method and Tao is the thinking and foundation. Just like using the same seasoning, the dishes cooked by the chef are more fragrant than those cooked by us. This is that the chef has the thinking of cooking and knows how to use the matching seasonings to achieve the right state.
In order to help you improve the technical operation of illustration software, improve your design thinking and really improve your ability to control software, students can find a master teacher to learn, enrich themselves and broaden their horizons. He will broadcast the original painting course of board drawing illustration on the Internet for free at 8: 00 every night, and even many students with zero foundation like to listen to it, because the teacher's easy to understand is quite humorous, which will be a good guide for everyone's thinking improvement. Students who want to learn can go to Teacher Yu Rou's WeChat (homophonic): the first one is w9, and the last one is Kaka. Just combine the above two groups of letters in order.
Success in life is not without reason, and there is no success in heaven. Only by constantly learning, constantly cheering for yourself and replenishing energy can we really get rid of the clouds and see the light. Smart people will put things in other people's heads into their own heads to make themselves stronger.
Three kinds of commonly used computer illustration software.
1._S:
PS is recognized as the most powerful picture editing software, which is too bloated because of its powerful functions. The functions that a painter can use actually account for only a small part of its functions. Advantages are powerful deformation tools, layer styles, curve adjustment tools, etc. Of course, the disadvantages are obvious. First, many operations must be combined with keyboard shortcuts, and a large number of operations need to be re-entered after leaving the keyboard, which is really unfriendly to digital screen patients, and the software learning cost is high for outsiders. Secondly, after updating to 20 19CC, the long-awaited jitter correction (anti-slip) is still difficult to use, and color fusion is still uncomfortable. His powerful pen-making and popularity determine that most painters are in the ecology of PS, so PS is called the necessary software for image editing or production.
2.SAI2:
Note that it is SAI-2, which has completed earth-shaking changes on the basis of SAI, filled many shortcomings and perfectly inherited many advantages of the former. The lines are still smooth as silk, and the color fusion is still natural and touching. This is a painting software specially designed for painters. The key point is painting software, and PS is picture editing software. PS, the big brother, just did some painting functions when editing pictures.
3.CSP:
It is a drawing software with strong comic advantages. It has all the advantages of SAI and some functions of PS. Of course, even people with bloated PS have improved their work efficiency. The birth of this software really shows that only Japanese engineers can make software that really serves painters. It is the best choice for cartoonists and Japanese illustrators.
Summarize these three softwares:
(1)PS is good at thick painting, showing heavy and true texture and light and shadow, or using powerful brushes to imitate the texture of paper or cloth to start painting, and curve tools are also very easy to adjust the picture. Even if other painting software is used as the main tool, PS is needed as an auxiliary tool for the final adjustment of the manuscript, and the index is required to be ten stars. (main tool)
The advantage of SAI2 lies in the illustration of celluloid, with smooth lines and clear colors. Sai 2 is a pure and lovely little girl.
CSP, needless to say, the cartoonist must have chosen him.
Four _ still only milling S screen.
The two best apps on IPADiOS system: Procreate and ArtstudioPro.
Procreate is easy to learn, simple in layout and very friendly to beginners. At present, one of the best apps on the iPad, all my friends use this software by default. The biggest problem is that it can't import third-party brushes, so the old birds who are used to PS and SAI will inevitably feel a little frustrated.
ArtstudioPro is the closest software to PS on IPAD at present, which is very similar in layout design and functional layout. You can even directly import PS brushes and brush presets into the APP, and the default grouping is very sour. Even the anti-shake of this product perfectly inherits the chicken ribs of PS, but its deformation tool is not as imaginative as PS, and the delay of big brush is actually better than PS. If it is not in English, this product is undoubtedly the best APP on the IPAD at present, and there is no one. It is said that the Chinese version of ArtstudioPro will be launched soon, and Procreate has fainted from crying in the toilet. It is said that PS that is full of blood and not castrated will also log on to IPAD, and all the painting apps on iPad will cry together in the toilet.
