Stick figures
Stick figure is a form of painting that uses concise and concise strokes to draw the basic shape and main characteristics of an object in general. Stick figures are widely used in children's education, teaching, publicity and other activities.
Today, we will take drawing a triceratops as an example to illustrate the general steps and issues that should be paid attention to in stick figures.
1. Observe and analyze the basic characteristics of triceratops
Triceratops was a herbivorous dinosaur that lived in the late Cretaceous period, a species of ceratosaurus and one of the most famous dinosaurs. It has three horns on its head and a large bony shield on each side of its face, which is very remarkable. When we draw stick figures, we should highlight these salient features and summarize them with simple lines.
2. Choose the appropriate angle and perspective relationship
To simplify the painting process, we chose a side angle to draw a triceratops. This angle can better express its characteristics and can also make the picture more concise. Because of the side angle, we only need to draw its head, neck, body, and short tail.
3. Outline the general outline of Triceratops with dotted lines
Start by gently sketching the outline of the triceratops with dotted lines. This step should take into account its basic morphological and proportional relationships. Don't be too heavy when drawing so that you can revise it.
Fourth, the main features of the painting
On the basis of the outline line, the main features such as the horns on the head of the triceratops and the shield on the face are further drawn. This step is to grasp the characteristic form and accurately represent the form of the triceratops with simple lines.
5. Modify and organize the picture
According to the basic shape and main features of the front, further refine and organize the picture to make the picture image more vivid and more in line with the characteristics of the triceratops. At the same time, pay attention to the use of the pen should be brisk and accurate, the lines should be smooth and natural, the structure should be prominent, and the expression techniques should be concise and bright. Don't be too complicated and trivial, so as not to lose the characteristics of stick figures.
6. Paint the color
The last step is coloring. When coloring, be careful not to paint too full, too thick, according to the style characteristics of the stick figure, choose the right color to simply paint the color, in order to increase the three-dimensional sense of the image and the effect of light and shade. Overall, the colors of the picture should be consistent and concise. The drawing method of triceratops is actually very simple, master the steps well, and you can easily get it! After learning and mastering the characteristics and techniques of stick figures, you can try to create some other stick figure works on your own.
In short, drawing stick figures requires attention to refining and summarizing the main features of the object, observing and analyzing the basic structure and proportions of the object, and using the brush and ink correctly.
With the above steps and methods, we can easily draw a stick figure of a triceratops. However, it should be noted that although stick figures are done by summarizing the main characteristics of objects through simple strokes, different objects need different expressions and techniques to better express the characteristics and charm of their images. Therefore, we need to constantly observe and analyze the basic structure and characteristics of the object, and at the same time pay attention to using our creativity and imagination to express the morphological beauty and formal beauty of the object. In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to the smoothness of the brushstrokes and the harmony of colors in the use of brushes and coloring. Only after mastering these basic techniques and methods can you draw more vivid stick figure works.
