cg illustrations have the following types:
1. Thick painting style: Thick painting is not only the most popular style in CG illustrations, but also one of the most common styles in other paintings, which is very popular in CG board drawing. Thick painting comes from traditional oil painting, which is characterized by the use of pigments to increase the sense of volume and layering of the works. Simple line drawings are used, and then colors are superimposed layer by layer, which pays little attention to the performance of lines and makes the picture very textured.
2. Flat style: Flat style illustration presents a flat or abstract feature. This kind of illustration is simple, light and neat as a whole, and is also widely used in various fields. It is one of the very common illustration styles.
3. Illustration of ancient style: In recent years, the national tide style has been loved by more and more people, and there are more and more illustrations of ancient style, which will use many elements of Chinese painting, such as flying cranes, auspicious clouds, flowers and plants, ancient architecture, etc. The illustrations of national tide will also be biased towards Chinese aesthetics in characterization.
there are many styles of p>cg illustration, such as two-dimensional illustration, 2.5D style, graffiti style, forest style and so on. With the development of the times, the types of illustrations are also increasing, so you can look at the works of excellent illustrators and find your favorite style! Ask to recommend the Chinese style illustration course
Only talk about the illustrated paintings. At present, there are more and more Chinese style painters ~ ~ (gratified ~~TT)
Recommend a few painters whose works are of considerable quantity and quality to you ~ ~
Yi Chui May (this is so famous that many Jiansan fans are widely circulated ~)
Cat Jun Dabai (there is one) )
Zhang Wang (the painter who is truly the most national style discovered by himself at present ~)
Zhang Lu (a national style that combines the foundation of western painting and has obvious westernization style in composition, movement and human body structure ~ ~ He has several excellent video tutorials on head portraits, so you can look for them ~ ~)
= = = = = =. If it's just a simple hobby, I really want to draw well, and the following are also very worthy of reference ~~
If it's a zero foundation, then the basic skills still need to be played, and the human body structure is one of the key points to be grasped, as well as composition and color. These things are directly related to the level of painting, and it is impossible not to grasp them.
In the aspect of human body structure, the professional recommended Beriman Human Body Structure, which is recognized as a classic. In addition, in fact, the concise human body induction of Riman style can also be used for reference. I recommend a Basic Chapter of Super Comic Sketch Techniques. Although there are many things wrong, it will be faster to get started.
Although there are professional theories about composition and color, I personally feel that I pay more attention to my own understanding and experience.
Get a general understanding of basic things (such as various basic composition patterns), and then you can accumulate experience and inspiration by collecting more beautiful pictures. Meitu is not only a painting, but also a fine product such as photos and designs. It is not limited to the national style, and other styles can also bring inspiration.
These basic things can only be mastered by drawing more and practicing more, and there is no shortcut.
If you really want to draw well, it is also very important to sketch and other things that seem to have nothing to do with the national style.
I'm a self-learner, and I've been losing money on the basics, so I have to make up for it.
My suggested practice methods are: a lot of sketch shape copying+an appropriate amount of complete copying+a small amount of original attempts ~~
followed by tools.
At present, illustration is mainly based on computer drawing, and the future development trend should be the same. After all, it is convenient, quick and easy to modify.
Therefore, drawing software needs to be mastered. I don't know your situation in this respect. Let's talk about it briefly.
drawing board, WACOM has always been the mainstream. My major is film and extension series, but I personally think that beginners don't need to be so extravagant. Now, the kind of several hundred dollars is also a pressure compared with the film extension a few years ago.
In terms of software, the national style tends to be mainly PhotoShop (personally, I always use ps), and Painter should be ok, but the specific situation is unknown.
Personally, the national style tutorials I have seen so far are all brushes of ps and PS.
If there is no foundation in this respect, I need to basically master the functions and usage of the software and find the foundation online.
I don't know much about Guofeng's ps painting course, so I can try to search on major video websites.
In addition, brushes are more important for illustrations with obvious styles.
to put it bluntly, the ink color is faint, and there are strokes of a writing brush. As long as you have some in moderation, you can feel a little "national style". So a good ink brush can save people a lot of effort.
I recommend a set of Guofeng PS brush "Linghua Ink Painting Pen", which I just found a few days ago. If you can't afford the full version, you can only buy it, but it should be said that it is really worth it. However, since we are beginners, we can use the free version, and the simplified version of 25 yuan can also be considered.
finally, I strongly suggest that the real Chinese painting is the root if you want to follow the national style.
Recommend some masters of Chinese painting that I like very much ~~
In figure painting:
Fan Zeng (freehand brushwork, worthy of worship! )
Yang Shutao (a very typical lady with meticulous brushwork)
Peng Lianxi (another classic figure with meticulous brushwork)
Liang Qide (there are quite a number of people who draw pictures with sketched figures, which is worth referring to)
Landscape painting:
There are many people who do it, but landscape painting pays more attention to the overall artistic conception and layout, and can not be shown much in illustration. Therefore, I only recommend one master who I personally think is worthy of reference-Ceng Gang. Very fine meticulous landscape, even if it is partial, can also be used for reference.
Flower-and-bird painting:
Flower-and-bird painting, especially flowers, should be said to be one of the most commonly used pictures at present.
Because there are many people who draw well in the classic style, it is not difficult to find them, so I recommend these two masters:
Zou Chuanan (who is my favorite meticulous flower-and-bird painting)
Zhou Zhongyao (a meticulous flower-and-bird painting master, with a large number of works, and there are also bookstores. The style can basically be said to have broken away from the classic meticulous flower-and-bird feeling, which may not be applicable to those that appear in a large number of national style illustrations at present, but I personally think that there are things worth learning from in his works.
And if you just want to accumulate this material, you can consider looking for some sketch books for reference.
There are not many professional things about Chinese painting that can be found on the Internet. It's really a matter of national interest. You can often go to the special area of the bookstore to see the real Chinese painting. Those are the real roots. The style characteristics of illustrations of National Tide
The style characteristics of illustrations of National Tide are as follows:
1. Common illustrations of National Tide have rich and delicate lines, uniform colors and low saturation, and the overall Chinese style is heavy but exquisite and attractive, with a wider range of applications.
2. There are many lines in the picture, and the lines will be thinner. Basically, lines are used as bones to shape every object, and the overall color is more uniform.
3. Lines are an important part, and the number of lines determines the fineness of your picture.
4. There are 1-3 general color systems in a picture to form an illustration.
5. The color is not fixed, it can be light or bright, and it pays more attention to the expression of ink and the paper texture of the picture, so as to reflect the characteristics of Chinese style.
6. The texture of rice paper or kraft paper will give people a stronger taste of Chinese style, and the background will be treated with ink and wash.
7. Some of the colors in the picture are archaic, with less overall colors and low saturation, while others are gorgeous and high saturation, but the overall colors are not too much, and there is a general range of colors, so you should control your own number of colors.
National Fashion Illustration is an illustration that combines Chinese style elements with trend elements, and uses Chinese style elements to draw people and things now. The color matching, composition and elements of the picture should have obvious Chinese style flavor.
