1, geometric sketch modeling training.
We should start with geometry such as cube, circle and combination. Only by understanding geometry can we simplify some complicated things and draw them more easily. It is difficult for students to master the shape, proportion and perspective of geometry in the initial stage, and it is easy to draw deformation, which requires a lot of practice and comparative study and revision among students.
2, the study of stick figure.
Similar to comics, it is relatively easy to master. In the teaching process, firstly, the teacher arranges students to draw a simple illustration of characters and send some information about the five senses, head, feet and hands to the students for reference. Secondly, in the process of painting, students find that the hand is a difficult part to draw. Teachers use the knowledge of human body structure to explain, and students can understand the structure of joints by means of picture appreciation and painting demonstration.
3. Sketch training. Use simple lines to train the characters' scenes simply and enrich their own library materials. After these basic trainings, figure painting becomes difficult, especially the expression of background or content. Teachers demonstrate and comment one by one, so that students can understand, accept and solve problems faster, and the future design and creation will be much easier, laying a solid foundation for hand-drawn illustrations.
Second, materials.
1. Hand-drawn pen: drawing pencil, mechanical pencil, stylus and signature pen. These pens are the most commonly used tools when drawing the first draft of a design.
2. Drawing instruments: ruler, T-square, curve ruler, tape measure, magnifying ruler, graduated ruler, triangular plate, cutting ruler, universal plotter, compasses, etc. Drawing tools should be accurate, precise and high-quality products, and small errors are good drawing tools.
3. Coloring equipment: palette, tray, pen washing, color label, etc.
4. Hand-painted tools: paper cutters, various art knives, carving knives and adhesive tapes.
Extended data:
Illustration is an art form. As an important visual communication form of modern design, it occupies a specific position in modern design with its intuitive image, true sense of life and beautiful appeal. It is widely used in many fields of modern design, involving cultural activities, social undertakings, commercial activities, film and television culture and so on.
The development of illustration art has a long history. From the world's oldest illustration cave mural to the Japanese folk print ukiyo-e painting in the Edo period, all of them show the development of illustration. Illustrations first developed with the changes of newspapers and books in the early19th century.
Its real golden age began in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. At that time, the illustrations just separated from art works were obviously drawn, and most of the authors engaged in illustrations were professional painters. Later, influenced by the school of abstract expressionism, they turned from concrete to abstract. It was not until the 1970s that illustrations returned to the realistic style.

How to be an illustrator? First of all, we must have professional ability. In fact, you just need to study hard and practice hard. When the kung fu is in place, someone will naturally ask you for a manuscript. It is inevitable to contact board painting when learning illustration. If you have a little foundation, you will actually get started quickly.
Photoshop software is recommended for learning board drawing. Just watch more tutorials and practice more. Here are some ways to draw national style illustrations with Photoshop.
First of all, Photoshop software
Photoshop is a powerful graphic image processing software developed by Adobe, which is widely used in printing, advertising design, cover making, web page image making, photo editing and other fields. Photoshop can be used for all kinds of plane processing of images, such as drawing simple geometric figures, coloring black and white images, converting image formats and color modes, etc.
And we mainly use its drawing function.

Second, the tablet.
Another "magic weapon" essential for CG drawing is the graphic tablet. Good software needs good hardware support. As a hardware input tool, graphic tablet can create various styles of works, such as oil painting, watercolor painting and sketch, combined with Photoshop, Painter and other drawing software, so it is necessary to choose a good graphic tablet. Most people choose WACOM's extension series graphics tablet.

Pressure sensitivity level is an important parameter for selecting drawing board, which refers to the sensitivity to pen weight when drawing with drawing board.
There are three levels of pressure sensitivity, which are 5 12 (entry), 1024 (advanced) and 2048 (expert). Simply put, the higher the pressure sensitivity, the finer the induction.
As shown on the right, there are two kinds of strokes: pressure and no pressure. According to the different sense of pressure, the line can present various ups and downs accordingly, which increases the flexibility of the line. No pressure, rough strokes, constant pressure and rigid lines.

Third, Photoshop toolbox and control panel.
Photoshop toolbox contains more than 40 tools. Click the icon or press the key combination of selecting tools to select tools.
Not all tools are displayed in the toolbox. As long as you look closely, you will find that some tool icons have a small triangle symbol in the lower right corner, indicating that other tools are related to them.
Move the mouse pointer to the tool icon with triangle, right-click to open the hidden tool, and then select the required tool.
The control panel of Photoshop can complete various image processing operations and tool parameter settings, including navigator, information, color, swatch, layer, channel, path, history, action, tool preset, style, character, paragraph style and so on.

Four, other commonly used panels and tools
Because there are too many functions of Photoshop, I won't list them one by one here, but only introduce a few commonly used functions in painting.
Navigator (navigator)
It is used to display thumbnails of images. By scaling the display scale, the display content of images can be quickly moved, thus intuitively displaying the overall effect of the screen.
sample
Its function is similar to the color control panel. When drawing, you can also put your favorite colors here in advance for easy access.
Layer (layer)
Used to control layer operations. Layer is the most commonly used panel in PS. Creating multiple layers is helpful to divide the picture, and it is convenient to change and adjust the picture effect.
Tool preset (tool preset)
Used to set preset parameters of various tools such as brushes and texts. Here, we usually use it to store our usual brushes and erasers.
brush
Used to set and adjust different parameters of brushes, and can make brushes of various styles, such as brushes for drawing ink and painting effects.
Layer properties and styles
The control of color mixing mode is a prominent function in Photoshop. By mixing various colors, some unexpected effects can be achieved and some difficult operations can be completed.
Find the blending mode on the toolbar of the layer, and then we use a small daisy to debug the effect.
Natural oscillation
Positive overlapping mode
Point light source mode
Superposition mode
Color filtering mode
Strong light mode
The general steps of drawing with ps are as follows.

V. Picture storage format
Generally, PSD and JPEG formats are commonly used to save pictures.
( 1)PSD
When saved in PSD format, the file will be compressed to reduce the occupied disk space. However, PSD format contains more image data information, such as layers, channels, clipping paths, reference lines and so on. , which is much larger than other image files. Because PSD file retains all the original image data information, it is more convenient to modify, which is also the advantage of PSD format.
(2)JPEG format
JPEG images are usually used for image preview and some hypertext documents (HTML). The biggest feature of JPEG format is that the file is relatively small and can be compressed at high speed, which is the highest compression rate among all formats at present. However, JPGE format will have some distortion in the process of compression and storage.
(3)TIFF(*。 TIF)
TIFF format is also widely used, it can be converted between many image software and platforms, and it is a flexible bitmap image format. TIFF format supports RGB, CMYK, Lab, index, color, bitmap mode and gray color mode, and also supports the function of using channel channels, layers and paths in RGB, CMYK and gray color modes.
Sixth, CG brush making
As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do a good job, he must sharpen his tools first.
