When we see some beautiful paintings, we have the urge to draw them, but because we don’t have any foundation, we habitually give up.

The purpose of input is to cultivate a certain appreciation ability. In addition, you can imitate your favorite painting methods and styles and try to draw some interesting illustrations. What to do if you can't find the input, method or object for copying? Here I will introduce you to several illustration websites, there will always be one suitable for you. 01_òhui believes that most people are familiar with Huaban.com.

Here I want to say that everyone can copy at a fixed time according to their own free time, for example, one or two hours a day. Newbies will inevitably have trouble grasping lines when learning, so when you have free time every day, you can find a piece of paper and draw straight lines and circles to practice your pen control. We talked about input above, and now let’s talk about output. I insist on drawing every day and imitating my favorite works. So where and how to output? You can choose several platforms to publish and share your works, such as Weibo, WeChat, and LOFTER. As long as there is a place that can be shared, someone will definitely come to see it. Sometimes a person will feel tired and want to give up if he works alone. But letting more people see it and getting recognition will give you the courage to persevere. I personally set up a special Weibo to share illustrations and shared illustrations on Lofter. I persisted for more than two months and received sixty or seventy likes. Although it is small, looking at each finished product, drawn with the tip of my pen, there is a feeling. It’s an indescribable feeling of satisfaction. If you want to learn illustration, take action. (Attached are several works of study)
