Watercolor illustration hand-drawing tutorial
The watercolor illustration hand-drawing tutorial method is as follows:
Use an orange water-soluble pencil to draw a draft. Then use a 0.3 mechanical pencil to outline. Use a watercolor pen dipped in water to lightly paint the sketch lines, and then use a tissue paper to absorb the water. The sketch will be roughly cleared.
First adjust the light yellow, light blue and light purple colors, then use a large brush to spread a layer of water on the entire paper, and finally quickly add the adjusted light color (do not color the character’s face). Let the colors diffuse and blend on their own.
Paint light yellow on the character's face while it is wet, then add red dots on the cheeks and neck, and blend it with a watercolor pen (watercolor pen dipped in water). After the base color is completely dry, use earthy yellow, lemon yellow, and a little ocher to make it look like a golden color, and then apply it flatly to give the hair the base color.
Add brown to the hair base color to create the hair shadow color, wait until the base color is completely dry and apply the shadow color. Use purple red and Prussian blue to draw the base color of the eyes. Use Prussian blue and gray to adjust the color of the upper eyelids and draw the upper eyelids and eyelashes.
Spread water on the knees, toes and heels, then add yellow. Add some more red while it's still wet. Use purple and magenta to create a purple-red color, color the edges of the clothes, and then add Prussian blue below. Use the same method as in the previous step to finish the color of the edges and ribbons.
Use Prussian blue to paint on the clothes, and purple to paint some dotted patterns. The background pattern is painted with the remaining colors in the palette just now. You can add some green, it all depends on your personal preference. Make sure the color tone is mainly purple-red. How to paint watercolor
The following are the general steps for painting watercolor:
1. Prepare tools, including watercolor paints, watercolors, pens, watercolor paper and containers (clean brushes for mixing colors ), etc.
2. Use a pencil to lightly outline the pattern you want to draw on the watercolor paper, and add shadows and details where needed. Use a large brush and dip it in an appropriate amount of watercolor paint. , and paint over the corresponding areas before using a damp brush to adjust the color and shape. Color can be added in layers so that adjustments can be made if necessary.
3. When the first layer of color dries, you can continue to use smaller brushes to add more color and detail, washing the wall between each new color to avoid mixing colors. In order to create different textures and effects, the water content and pigment concentration can be controlled. For example, increasing the water content can make the color softer, while reducing the water content can make the color more intense.
4. After completing the work, use a hair dryer or let it dry naturally.
Remember watercolor painting is very free and informal, so use your imagination and creativity. Steps to draw watercolor
1) Start the draft just like drawing a sketch. First use a pencil to determine the position and proportion. Do not use an eraser to avoid damaging the paper surface and affecting the coloring effect. Then use color to finalize the drawing. Depending on the tone of the still life, you can use ocher brown or ultramarine blue to finalize the drawing. The color line can be a little heavier, and the final color can be used to lightly indicate light and dark, paving the way for the next step of coloring. If you have strong modeling ability, you can also start the draft directly with color lines, without showing light and shade, and color directly. (2) After finalizing the large color tone, quickly observe the relationship between the overall tone and the large color block, so that you can be confident and apply thinly as soon as possible. Don't think about form and brushstrokes at this time, use fresh color impressions to boldly create the color environment of the picture. Some people are eager to draw in detail after finishing the previous coloring. The relationship between large color blocks should be further adjusted to make the relationship between colors and the overall tone consistent with the actual feeling. (3) Specific shaping: On the basis of the relatively correct general relationship, further specific shaping is carried out, starting from the main object of the picture and completing it one by one. It is easy to grasp the dry and wet changes of an object by focusing on it, and it is also easy to shape the color changes of its different sides that receive light and backlight. At this time, the eyes should scan the surroundings at any time, starting from the local area but not getting stuck in the local area, focusing on one thing and missing the other. It depends on the relationship between the object and the background and other objects, grasp the proportion, and leave the details in one step. The color used in this pass should be appropriately thickened, and the correct part of the background color can be retained to increase the color gradation of the picture.
There are three methods: a. Use wet painting to make light and dark colors, this color and that color interact with each other due to the action of water, so that the effect will be natural and soft. If it doesn't work once, you can draw it again according to this method. b. Use a medium brightness color to paint between the two colors. Although there are obvious pen marks, the transition looks natural from a distance. c. Where the connection between the two colors is stiff, you can use one of the colors to dry-sweep the adjacent area a few times to increase the transitional color gradation. You can also use a pen dipped in a small amount of water and swipe a few times on the rough areas to create a transitional level between the two colors in terms of brightness or color, and the transition will become natural. (5) Use the pen to move the color on the paper, and the pen marks will appear, which is called brush strokes. Generally, the brushstrokes in the picture can be used to tell the artist's rough painting sequence and how to use the brush to shape the object. The use of the brush is not the purpose, but a means of expression. The brushwork of many painters is different, some are large vertical and horizontal, Some small strokes are painted. Which brushwork is better? How to use the brush correctly? We should focus on the purpose of expressing the object, based on the different structures, different textures of different objects and the different feelings of the author, based on expression. Starting from the object of expression, in order to express the physical structure and color, various brushwork techniques such as painting, placing, dotting, hooking, stacking, and sweeping are used flexibly to depict.
