How can painting be interesting?How can beginners learn to draw?What kind of paintings are interesting and interesting?There are many ways to make a painting attractive - or the eye-catching design of clothing items, or the interesting interaction between the picture and the audience, or the atmosphere of the picture through color, light and shadow, or the interesting storyline, or the design of graphic composition to impact the audience's vision, and also by shaping the emotions of the characters in the picture to have an impact on the audience's emotions.
Let's take a look at your painting again, at first glance, you will feel that the degree of completion is not high enough, the thickness change and occlusion of the line drawing are not shown, and the picture does look bland, it is recommended to start with optimizing the line drawing, the completion of the line drawing will go up, and the picture will be richer, and the follow-up can improve the overall sense of the picture.
Recommend two essential platforms for drawing learning:
Light lesson:Light Class is a professional painting institution, the main courses are Japanese illustration, game original painting, ancient style illustration, animation and comics, with "devil training" and "devil supervision" is famous, widely praised by students.
Sheep Class.com:Sheep class network is free painting learning**, mainly for interest learning to provide a free learning platform, if you don't know whether it is suitable for students, you can first go to the sheep class network to understand.
So how can we improve the completion of line drawing?This is my step by step to optimize the line art, which can be used for your reference
First of all, take out a preliminary line draft that is just a simple line drawing, and let's optimize it.
Let's start with a thicker line and trace it along the outer contour of the character, so that this part of the line becomes the thickest part of the whole line drawing.
If you look at the picture, you can see that it is basically composed of hair, body, and clothes.
We use a line that is slightly thinner than the outer contour to thicken the outer contour of each element.
Such a line drawing with a change in line thickness comes out.
The part of the object that is completely unlit is the occlusion area, such as the backlit area of the lace folds and the small folds, where the hair meets the **.
Use black to draw the occlusive area to enhance the contrast between light and dark in the picture, so that the line drawing will look more complete
- The lines you draw lack thickness changes and occlusions, you can draw the outer contours and elements on top of each other, and then draw the dark parts of the lines to occlude, so that after the lines are perfected, the completion of the picture can be improved
After drawing the line drawing, to the subsequent coloring stage, you actually need to understand the color matching methodI also need to do some individual training for color matching, refer to how I did the color matching exercises before
Partial avatar color matching exercises.
Full-body color matching exercises.
There is no idea of color matching, there is no awareness of color foundation, in fact, it is difficult to improve the sense of picture, because everyone looks at a painting, in fact, the color is the most prominent expression of visual effects, and then the shape, if even the shape and color are not done well, then from a professional point of view, it is not a good attractive painting.
Therefore, if you want to improve your ability in these two aspects, shape + color, you first need to systematically learn the basics of painting, because the foundation is the first level for many beginners in paintingYou must know that in the field of painting, the foundation is always the first thing, just like the foundation of a house, the foundation is unstable, and the house is built with multiple floors and luxury, it is also a bubble;
There is also the light and shadow level of your picture is a bit too simple, the completion of the hair is just to fill in the background color, and the state of painting the bisected shadow, there are only two light and shadow levels, which will make the picture a little simple, which is also the reason why your picture looks cheap.
So how do you shape and portray your hair?Here's my step-by-step idea for drawing hair, for your reference
Think of the hair as a circle to draw the shadows, for example, the light comes down from the top right, and the shadows basically appear below.
Choose a skin tone and spray the hair close to the face a little lighter, which will enrich the color variation of the hair.
Then use dark colors to refine the dark areas, mainly to increase the details of the hair strands, so that it has a higher degree of completion.
Then draw the highlight, choose a pale yellow, draw an arc along the top of the head, and use an eraser to break the shape and make it irregular.
Then use the Blur tool to soften the hard edges below the highlights.
Then use dark purple to change the color of the line drawing to make the whole more harmonious.
Finally, create a new layer on the draft, absorb the color of the highlights and draw some small scattered hair, so that a good-looking hair is completed.
Summary——The level of the hair, you can summarize the big light and shade, and then in the big light and dark relationship, in the dark part of the hair to draw the darker part of the cover, in the bright side to draw the highlight of the hair, and then draw the virtual and real changes of the hair, in this way, the level of hair will be rich.
This one feels a little gray, you can improve the color purity, and then strengthen the chiaroscuro - darken the character as a whole, you can create a new multiply layer, and use lilac to darken the character, which can form a complementary color with the yellow light of the backlight, and then strengthen the contour light intensity of the characterYou can refer to the reference.
Structurally, the chin is a little crooked, and the mouth is a little down.
As the visual center of gravity, the painting is also a bit simple, the color is a little too conservative, the painting is too clean, not bold enough, and lacks color details.
You can refer to how other artists paint flowers
Put these two bouquets together, you can compare, the color and details of these two bouquets, you are mainly poor in color and details.
If you want to paint brilliantly, the color should be bold, and the shaping of the volume of light and shadow needs to be strengthened.
Finally, to sum up, in fact, many of the works you paint are basically basic problems, so your current painting foundation is not very solid, and the understanding of light and shadow and the volume shaping of objects is a bit simple, it is recommended to systematically learn light and shadow and shaping, lay a solid foundation, and shape the painting completely, so that you can paint high-quality and high-completion works
