What are the styles of illustrations? What are the common types of illustration styles?
Illustration styles can be roughly divided into the following categories:
1. Japanese and Korean style
Features: The most typical Japanese style is the "celluloid" style , the painting style is beautiful, the figures are slender, and there is not much change between men and women. But at the same time, there are slight differences between the two. For example, the Japanese style is more casual and life-oriented, while the Korean style tends to be more gorgeous and romantic, which is basically similar to the realistic style.
2. European and American style
Characteristics: European and American style illustrations are mostly realistic, emphasizing real texture and texture, and delicate depiction. I like to exaggerate expressions to make characters look more vivid and energetic.
3. Chinese antique style
Characteristics: Compared with the illustrations of the above two art styles, the Chinese style original paintings also have their own distinctive characteristics, which are restrained and implicit but full of tension. Although Chinese style original paintings are more or less influenced by European, American, Japanese and Korean original paintings, profound classical art, elegance and mystery are still its characteristics.
4. Q version illustrations
Features: Q version illustrations have the most prominent style, mainly focusing on characters and animals. The characters are cute, exaggerated or funny, and the human body is short and short in proportion, although the lines are simple. , the color blocks are distinct, but the characters have distinct characteristics.
5. Flat style illustrations
Features: Mainly composed of color blocks, geometric shape, smooth outer contour, almost no contour lines, visual expression is diverse, approachable, and also Can be rigorous. A popular style that conforms to modern screen media and contemporary aesthetic trends.
6. Humorous style illustrations
Features: It is more common to use exaggerated styling, which is very common in European and American styles. Commonly seen in news magazine illustrations, there is a sense of humor and irony embedded in the pictures, and they are often related to political, social and cultural issues. The choice of colors is also quite exaggerated, making people laugh at a glance.
7. Realistic illustrations
Characteristics: The most common style, just draw whatever it is, just like it. Express clearly what needs to be expressed most. Painting of the day | Watercolor tutorial for beginners with zero basics - lotus

Pre-painting tip: The focus of this lesson is the blooming method in wet painting. Each petal is dyed using a blending method to create rich changes in color from dark to light, from heavy to light, from bright to gray, giving the lotus with a single color a multi-layered effect. During the blending process, be careful to use clean water to push away thick colors, so prepare two brush washers, one of which is specially dipped in clean water. I believe that after painting the lotus, everyone will have a deeper understanding of the blending method. Understanding this method, learning this method will be very helpful for improving watercolor painting.
Color code:
Step1._Mengdong Quail, try to make the line as light as possible, as long as you can see it clearly; use a flower For example, use the blending method, wet a petal with water, blend the red plum, spread the color from the tip of the petal, and blend naturally to the root of the petal. If you feel that the tip is not heavy enough, you can continue to add the red plum while it is wet. The color of the petals To make a change, gradually transition from the red plum color at the tip to the green at the root. Here we use rosy leaves, just add a little bit. At the same time, add a little ultramarine and red plum into the rosy leaves to make the color gray;
Step2._Lu Chan and Cou find Yuenxijiao and draw other petals. It is best to follow a certain order when drawing. I am used to drawing the petals according to their order. The ones in the visual center close to the eyes can be regarded as The main petals, and vice versa;
Step3._When I blended the color, I added a little ultramarine to make the color cooler;
Step4. Then draw the petals in other secondary positions. You can add subjective color tendencies when blending the colors. For example, I added a little ultramarine or wakale. In short, the color purity should be low, but don’t paint dirty or gaps. The darker parts should be accentuated, and the colors on the inside and outside of the petals should be differentiated. The outside should be warmer, while the inside should be cooler;
Step5. After the color dries, complete the final petals. These three petals The petals are in the main position, so the color should be brighter. For example, the red plum at the tip of the petals can be thicker;
Step6._ Draw the flower stem below, blending the rupee leaves and ultramarine, with the rupee leaves as the main focus. Start painting from the bottom of the flower. The color should be cool (mostly ultramarine), and gradually blend downwards until the color becomes greener. When you reach the root, you can sweep it out to make the color more transparent;
Step7. Now, use the color from the previous step, add a little more ultramarine, and point out the small thorns on the flower stems. Pay attention to the color change. As you go down, the color of the small thorns should also become lighter with the color of the flower stems.
Key analysis: The petals of the lotus are relatively large. In order to avoid holes, we need to draw the veins of the petals. If you observe the petals of the lotus, you will find that the petals are thicker and different between the inside and the outside, while the veins of the petals are on the outside. More obviously, by drawing the veins, we can also clearly distinguish the inner and outer sides of the petals. The veins of lotus petals are mainly concentrated at the tips of the petals, gradually transitioning to the roots. The veins at the roots are almost difficult to see clearly with the naked eye, so when we draw, we follow this rule, starting from the tips, and the color gradually becomes lighter, and finally To disappear, the lines should be thin and smooth; for the petals in the distance (secondary position), the veins can be drawn lighter, or even not drawn at all. In this way, the relationship between the front and back of the petals is once again strengthened.
