Illustration, also known as illustration, is an illustration drawn in the form of hand drawing, mouse drawing and computer board drawing. Because of its wide use and different styles, film and television animation and game industry is called CG illustration, which is widely used in design industry, film and television animation and game industry.
Illustration uses pictures to express vividness, sense of life and appeal. The main difference from graphic design can be simply understood as "Illustration highlights story rather than eye-catching". Illustration is also an artistic form of visual expression, which mainly includes photography/painting/three-dimensional illustration. Illustration has a special position in the field of art, which is closely related to the publishing industry. Both e-books and physical books are needed, and there is room for employment in other fields, such as music/film/media.

The basic standard for learning illustrations is whether there is an audition class or not.
There are indeed many places to study illustration now, and it is really a mixture of good and evil people, which makes many students spend their eyes. How should they choose? There is a good saying, to judge how a learning place is, we should at least look at the strength of the other party first, and the audition class is to look at the best strength of the other party, and at the same time look at the quality of the course. If even the audition class is not good, then other classes will be more useless. And choose to study this piece, and choose a big school, which is guaranteed.
If you don't know where to find it, you can go to the online class I used to study. That's where I studied. Every night at 8: , there will be a master painting teacher who will give a free live lecture on the illustration and board drawing course online. The teacher's lecture is easy to understand and humorous, and it can explain the painting skills that bother you simply and thoroughly. Watching the teacher's video is much better than reading. One class can solve many problems for you. You can also learn about the development of the whole industry. Anyway, it's free. You can listen to it completely. Giving lectures at night will not delay your work or study during the day. Students who want to listen can enter Weixin (homophonic):
The first group in front is: gon_ WEN, knocking on the bag, and pulling on the finger. Remarks: Illustration.
Since students like to learn board drawing illustrations, they should try it and give themselves a chance. Only by trying can they know if they are the right material, instead of wandering around in their inner world all the time and wasting their talents, which is irresponsible to themselves.
The earliest illustrations in China appeared in the form of printmaking. With the introduction of Buddhist culture, the scriptures were illustrated in disguised form in order to publicize the teachings. At present, the earliest print work in China is recorded in historical materials, namely "The Mantra of Darani" published in Tang Suzong. The title page painting in King Kong Prajna Sutra published by Tang Yizong Xian Tong in the 9th year (868) is the exact date.
By the Song, Jin and Yuan Dynasties, book illustrations had made great progress. The application scope has expanded to medical books, historical geography books, archaeological catalogue books, daily encyclopedia books and other books, and color overprint illustrations have appeared. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it can be said that during the great development of ancient illustration art, there were book engraving industries all over the country. Different regions have formed different styles. Simple teaching of board drawing: painting methods and techniques of black and white draft, line draft and thick coating! This is a relatively suitable process for getting started. Many people like black-and-white drafts, but the painting methods and techniques of black-and-white drafts are straightforward and complicated compared with line drafts, which makes a strange combination of line drafts and thick painting. In the early stage, flat painting was used to determine the big shape. The way to do this is to determine an outline so that you can't draw it out. So let's simply tick the line, saying that the tick line is actually the accumulation of some lines. Be careful not to draw too messy and try to control your own power not to fly! Just make the lines look clean. Don't tick them too carefully, because we need to cover the line draft later, so it's useless. It's best to build a new layer to draw the line draft. It's no harm for beginners to pay more attention to the new layer when painting! (As long as you know what the layer you built is for), draw the shadow part of your face with a hard-edged brush for the new layer, then wipe off the excess part with a soft-edged brush, keep the sharp edge of the light-dark boundary, remind yourself that this is an important part, and then draw the hair part like a ball, with a rough light and shade. (You can use the deepening and lightening tool. If you build a new layer, you can use a positive film to fold the bottom. It's okay if it's too dark. There are many illustration courses on it. Every day, the teacher guides your illustration skills online, so that your lazy cancer can't escape. Focus on it, it's free, it's really free, it's really free! The front is rough black and white and rough line drawings, which can be accumulated in this step. There are also brush strokes that people are more concerned about. Try to control the brush strokes as clean as possible, for example, only at the boundary between light and dark and excessive parts, so as to ensure that your picture is clean, and then deepen the eyes, nostrils, corners of the mouth and lips. The relatively detailed part of depicting hair was singled out. At that time, the demonstration was done on the black-and-white draft, but personally, it would be better to put it in a relatively backward painting position. The focus of hair is to understand the interlacing of films, the trend between lines, the overall trend and the trend of a few small pieces of hair. This is the last part of the black-and-white draft. (In fact, it is to say what was leaked before.) The pupil part of the eye should not be drawn as a circle between the eyelids. Three quarters of the pupil can be leaked out, and then the pupil part should not be dotted as a dot, and then the white of the eye and the dark part of the pupil are unified together. If it is over-balanced, you can follow the method mentioned before (build a new layer, then paint it and wipe it, Adjust the transparency and then merge) The part of the black-and-white manuscript is almost like this. I use CTRL+B to adjust the color balance. First, I set the overall color tone. This is relatively easy to control with the slider. It is not as difficult to control as directly selecting the color. It is also intuitive to see the change of my black-and-white manuscript and the slight change of color. I recommend beginners to adopt this method. After that, I use CTRL+M curve tool to adjust the contrast. It's hard to say this curve, but that's it. I'll understand the inherent color after playing by myself. I use the four layer attributes of "positive overlay", "overlay", "soft light" and "strong light" to draw it, which is basically enough. As for the differences, I think other people's tutorials are more detailed than mine, so I won't go into them one by one. The positive overlay is used to color the dark part or the dark part, which is relatively stable. The soft light changes slightly, but the strong light is the enhanced soft light. It's better to take a color to test it yourself, which is much more suitable than watching the tutorial. Then you can use CTRL+U to adjust the color you want when choosing the color. The same slider. It's not over after the color is finished. Personally, I don't like the way of drawing a very detailed black-and-white manuscript and then completely overlapping colors, so I still keep a lot of strokes in the color manuscript. It's more fun and interesting, so I draw some cool colors in some bright parts to make the picture less focused, and then the white part is not pure white, but the pupil is a small part. You can try how much this is suitable by yourself, and then add gray in the dark part appropriately to make the picture less boring. Part of the gray color is added to my hair, so it will not be easy to blacken the sauce purple, because I painted it very dark when I was studying, and then I painted it badly, and then it became dark. I don't know what color it is, so I feel depressed. I suggest you brighten it and press it down, so it will not be easy to blacken it, and then the hair is the essence, so you can draw some hair so that it will not be too rigid. Then there is the finished product. Generally speaking, the original painting of the game has broad employment prospects and is convenient to change careers. As long as the skills are excellent, it is not difficult to earn more than 1, yuan a month. Some great gods can even earn hundreds of thousands a month, which is a very good career. If you are interested in the original painting of the game, it is recommended to pay attention to the "landlord" first and then reply to "learning" by private message! Painting learning is a step-by-step process, and you need to have a clear understanding of your knowledge generalization! Of course, we welcome you to join our painting exchange community!
