Style characteristics of Guo Chao's illustrations The style characteristics of Guo Chao's illustrations are as follows:
1. Common illustrations in national tide style, with rich and delicate lines, even colors and low saturation. The overall Chinese style is heavy but exquisite and durable, with a wider scope of application.
There are many lines in the picture, but the lines will be thinner. Basically, lines are used as bones to shape every object, and the overall color is more unified.
3. Lines are an important part, and the number of lines determines the fineness of your picture.
4. A picture has 1-3 general color systems to form an illustration.
5. The color is not fixed, but it can be light and bright, paying more attention to the performance of ink painting and the paper texture of the picture to reflect the characteristics of Chinese style.
6. Creating with the texture of rice paper or kraft paper background will give people a stronger Chinese flavor, and the background will be treated with ink.
7. Some colors in the picture are antique, the overall color is less, the saturation is lower, some are gorgeous, and the saturation is higher, but the overall color is not too much, and there is a general color range. You should control the number of your own colors.
National tide style illustration is an illustration that combines Chinese style elements with trend elements, and uses Chinese style elements to draw people and things that appear in the world. The color matching, composition and elements of the picture should have obvious Chinese flavor.

I believe children are no strangers to jiaozi and Tangyuan. They have many differences, such as:
One skin is slippery and the other is sticky; One is dressed thin and the other is wrapped thick; A hair band and a big bald head; One likes meat and vegetables, and the other likes sweets.
Although they are different in many ways, they have one thing in common. Can the child guess?
Recommended reason:
Jiaozi and Tangyuan are based on our taste memory in China. One south and one north represent the difference of eating habits between the north and the south, which is very regional.
In Eating Books, two common foods are transformed into cute little characters. Like cross talk, you introduce yourself in all directions. The content of the story is very easy to understand, especially suitable for children to read.
Although jiaozi and Tangyuan have their own shapes and tastes, their appearance is often related to reunion. They have no colorful appearance, but they are full of the simple taste of home.
