When drawing light and shade, draw a gray at the junction of light and shade. That is to start drawing fewer lines.
Practice and draw more lines when drawing lines. The direction of the line is 45 degrees. Draw from top right to bottom left, practice constantly, and then draw from top left to bottom right. You can try to practice your lines from multiple angles. In this way, you can make your lines clear. The following are my steps in sketching. I hope it helps you. When you start drawing still life, you don't need to pay attention to the lines. The main points are as follows: Use a soft pencil (I usually use 8B, and if I feel uncontrollable, I'd better use 4B or 5B) to outline the approximate position and shape over and over again, correct the composition, and then mark the relationship between light and shade with random lines. At this time, you must make clear the primary and secondary relationship between light and shade and objects in your mind, and don't forget the interlining. At this time, the dark part of the interlining can express itself clearly with few lines.
2. Adjust the overall light and shade again. Don't draw details at this time, and don't care too much about lines. Mainly draw dark parts, and wipe them with toilet paper after polishing, so that the feeling of lines will be weakened, preparing for the next detailed description. If the lines are too abrupt at this time, it will bring unnecessary trouble to the detail description. At this time, we should pay special attention to the difference of the dark part of each object. Interlining can draw its inherent color according to its color, or erase the lines with paper to clarify the relationship between horizontal and vertical planes. This film must draw the spatial relationship, which is particularly important. Also pay attention to the overall situation and don't spend it (that is, the relationship between light and shade is disordered). (Pencil hardness can be weakened, mainly 3B or 4B. Soft pencils can be used for those with good skills. )
3. Description of details. At this time, the pencil should be replaced at any time, and the description should be used from 2B to 4H as needed (in general, it is used for 4H at most, and few people use 6H). It can be described step by step from the perspective of the integrity of the object. When an object is portrayed to a certain extent, it will stop depicting another object until it reaches the level of the previous object, and a new round of further characterization can only be started after it is completely portrayed. If the overall consciousness is good, it can be done. It should be noted that the description of object details should focus on the gray surface. Whether an object looks like it depends on the performance of the gray surface. Although this is a detailed description, for a painting, the overall sense of space and integrity is the most important.
4, the inherent color, this and the performance of texture belong to the Dongdong in the detail description, and I will take out more details, hehe. Every object has its own color. If an object is white, it is still white even in the dark, while the opposite object is black. At other times, the dark side of a white object is brighter than the bright side of a black object. On the premise of maintaining the overall volume relationship between light and dark, don't make it darker, and don't be darker than a black object, and the same is true for the relative black object.
5, the performance of texture, each object is made of different materials, to draw the texture of the object must be observed more, the dark reflection, highlight and inherent color of the object are different, carefully observe its characteristics, carefully write it down and draw it. Take the glaze jar you mentioned as an example. This jar is characterized by strong reflection. It will show the shape of the surrounding objects in the "body", which is very simple and clear. If the reflection is good, the whole jar will look shiny. However, it must be noted that the reflection of the jar cannot be too bright, because it is in sharp contrast with the dark part of the jar, but it is still part of the dark side anyway, so it cannot be brighter than the bright side of the jar. Followed by the highlight, the highlight of this jar is quite bright, and the contrast with the bright side is very strong (except for the white jar). Sometimes, due to the lighting, there are many bright spots. At this time, we should be optimistic about one main bright spot, and other small white pieces will turn gray relatively (darker than the main bright spot and brighter than the cold face). That's all. Need careful observation. It is helpful to practice some local sketches of objects. No matter how you express the texture, don't forget the overall effect of the object. Draw and see for yourself.
6. Overall adjustment. In other words, few people will pay attention to this step, but it is a crucial step, which is related to the overall effect and visual impact of this painting. This step is mainly to adjust the overall spatial relationship, the light and shade relationship between things, weaken the weak places and highlight the main objects.
Generally speaking, that's all you need to pay attention to when drawing still life. Simply put, you should pay attention to: spatial relationship, light and shade relationship, primary and secondary relationship.
I haven't painted a still life for a long time, not since the art college entrance examination last year. However, these are all my experiences from sketching in the past six years. Whether it is still life sketch or figure sketch, it will help you. Hehe ~ ~ It is said that the college entrance examination for fine arts has passed early this year. Are you preparing for next year's exam?
