Pay attention before painting (you'd better keep a good mood! ), first observe the characteristics of the object to be represented, whether there is a clear subject, whether there is a clear front, middle and back scene, usually first determine the position and size of the subject in the picture, and whether the composition is balanced and full; Draw the structural modeling lines (contour lines and perspective lines) of the main object. The lines are simple to use and leave room (there is no need to completely connect the intersecting lines).

Line drawing is the key factor for the success of the absolute final picture. You should learn to compare the relationship between objects (cohesion and structural relationship) with your eyes. Write accurately, rather than draw less than observe clearly. Your eyes are always in front of the pen. To put it mildly, be intentional before writing.

2. Structural lines and contours

Structure line and contour line are the keys of the whole line draft picture. Structure is the skeleton of the object, and the outline is the shape of the object. This step is completed. Just add some meat and clothes below. The structure line includes the structure of the object itself and the boundary line between the objects. For example, many students are particularly obsessed with drawing trees. It's actually quite simple. The structural line of a tree is branches, and the leaves can be ignored first. The painting method of branches is actually introduced in detail in our traditional Chinese painting techniques. The most common are crab claw branches and antlers, such as Sophora japonica, weeping willow or Gracilaria lemaneiformis, which belong to crab claw branches and all grow downward; Antlers are very common and all extend upward. The trunk is divided into thin stems, and the thin stems are divided into thin stems. Generally, plant branches are alternate, so branches can be staggered.

In this photo, except this overhanging building, everything else is plants, so the organization of plants is particularly important. Be sure to draw in groups. Never draw whatever you see. It will really kill you. It is important to learn to summarize.

3. The picture is deepened and adjusted

The deepening link is to add all kinds of "meat", such as the outline of plant leaves, the distinction between light and shade, the texture and epidermis of buildings; The key point to pay attention to when deepening is not to draw everything, and always pay attention to the contrast of the picture. The contour relationship of objects in the picture is compared with each other through the density relationship. For example, the part where plants are connected with the dark part of the building should not be too dense, while the relationship between plants in contact with the bright part of the building can be subjectively slightly encrypted, so that the density contrast will strengthen the morphological relationship of the building. Picture adjustment mainly refers to the rhythm relationship, such as density relationship, brightness contrast relationship, front and back spatial relationship and so on.
