Save money again ~ hahaha ~
I'm going to study illustration recently, so I'm going to read some books about illustration.
The idea is that I want to learn illustration, so I will find books on illustration, and take "illustration" as a theme of my study and read by theme.
If, in your life, you encounter a certain aspect that you want to solve, you can also carry out "subject reading".
For example: time management, financial thinking, sorting and storing. ......
This book gives me some idea about the inspiration and tools that illustrators need. I also bought a hand-drawn board today. I'm still learning scanners.
I hope there will be illustrations to share with you in the future (I just don't know when. Dreams are always there. What if they come true? )
Do you have any friends who like illustrations?
How do you learn illustration?
Welcome everyone to discuss together ~

How to learn illustration from 0? ‖ Original Experience 0 How should I learn illustration?
First of all, you need to know the reason and purpose of studying illustration, whether you are interested in it or want to make money.
If you are interested in love, you can stick to it, because people will have a habitual pattern, that is, they will indulge in what they like to do and can't help doing it. This is the internal motivation, but if you just want to make money from it, you won't last long in general, because ten painters are poor, but they are all happy and even poor, because the process of painting itself can make people happy and heal.
The painting industry has lost its function for three to five years, so don't even think about taking orders. It's not as simple as you think.
Well, you've made up your mind, so I'll give you some advice on basic science illustrations.
First, if conditions permit, you can choose a study class, which is the fastest way. Really, I have met several painting friends who are similar to my level before. After a few years, my level is only a few pieces. This is the reward for her hard work in class.
If you teach yourself, you should be very self-disciplined. Look for suitable tutorials and materials to practice everywhere, and no one will guide you. It is a slow process, and now the illustration style is rich, and you will be dazzled. Drawing one by one will help you develop your own expression techniques, but it will also delay your systematic study and lay the foundation.
If you teach yourself
First, it is suggested to start with the stick figure, practice the feeling of painting, have a strong attachment interest in painting, and establish self-confidence that is not easy to be frustrated.
Second, then practice the color matching of stick figures, which is fun, but you can practice your color feeling, but you can clearly know whether your color feeling is good or not, and you can refer to your favorite illustration tones for color matching while practicing.
To learn and understand some basic theories of color, we must practice color sense by playing with color matching. You must read more excellent illustrations and color matching illustrations that you think are very good, whether it is advertising pages or illustrations. )
Third, stick figure, don't simply think of it as children's painting, you are using lines to express the characteristics of objects and draw objects around your life, because still life is relatively the simplest, such as books, pens, computers, bookshelves, chairs and so on. So you don't have to draw so realistically, you can understand and express it in your own way first. If you feel that the painting is not good, you can find similar items on the Internet immediately. The tolerance of illustration lies in that you don't have to come from the ordinary class, nor do you have to have a solid artistic foundation. Those things are good, but sometimes they are also a bondage of thinking mode. Aren't many painters like this? The painting is the same as the real photo, but I really don't like that feeling. I like Jimmy's illustrations of artistic conception. The best thing about illustration is that you can be a non-art student and learn to communicate with your heart. The best thing about painting is to express your heart, express your feelings, and express your feelings like writing poetry. This is a healing way to talk to your heart. Therefore, I personally think that sometimes we can abandon some too in-depth technical things and express more feelings and creative things.
But it is necessary to learn some basic expressions. You even create new expressions in your unique way. The most important thing is to express the central meaning of the painting, but the final painting must have aesthetic feeling in order to be accepted by yourself and others.
It is very important that an illustrator must have a higher aesthetic vision than the average person. If beauty and ugliness are inseparable, it is really useless to practice. There are two classmates around me who have studied for more than a year and can't see whether their paintings are good or not. How can I improve myself? The sketch teacher's classic quotations are very good. In the world of painting, you must be calm to make progress. Because your vision is higher than your expression, you have room for improvement, and you can find out where your painting is not good enough. If you always admire your work, wow, what beautiful eyes. After that, your growth space is basically on the top of your head bag, not the feeling of being on top.
But it also needs a balance. It will be particularly painful if you are too arrogant. No matter how you paint yourself, how you despise yourself and how uncomfortable you feel, you can't build a stable self-confidence mood. You can't invest in painting. The most suitable method is to reduce some difficulties in finding fault in painting. After painting, you should feel a little satisfied and appreciated, but at least 1 is critical.
Fourth, then start the basic exercises of the system. There is still a basis for painting, otherwise it will be very painful to draw, and you will feel that the more you draw, the more wrong you are. Therefore, you need to learn some basic perspectives, human perspective and scene perspective, and have a basic understanding of objects.
Fifth, the next step is to keep practicing. For your favorite styles, such as Japanese illustrations and children's illustrations, you copy the styles you are most interested in and create similar exercises at the same time. You can play online at this stage. In fact, there are still many tutorials. You can practice some creative skills and ways to turn photos into illustrations by yourself. )
Finally, it is necessary to mention that painting should be enthusiastic and persistent. In painting and practice, copying and dictation alternately make the fastest progress, but the creation is painful but grows fastest, and targeted and summative copying makes the fastest progress.
Find some painting skills, such as hand generalization and human body structure. These skills should be understood and learned the fastest, but don't be bound by skills and limit your creativity. The so-called state of learning and forgetting is actually an unconscious state. If you fully understand what you have learned and create infinitely in this feeling, you will be more comfortable. It is always difficult to exert your creativity.
Well, my experience and experience are over. Have you decided to study illustration?
Friends who want to learn illustration suggest reading these books first. They are very nice.
Leap-forward growth, lifelong growth and brain life code.
It will be a good inspiration for your study and growth.
Knowing how to appreciate the feeling of beauty and tranquility is a habit and a state of mind. I think this is an essential brain model. I experienced the brain life code, because I found that I was wrong to have this model.
"Lifelong growth" and painters need to have growth-oriented thinking, which will help you develop creative thinking mode instead of becoming a potential waiter for painters.
There is a causal relationship between leap-forward growth and lifelong growth, which can greatly inspire people who are not confident and firm in their hearts.
I want to be an illustrator, but I have no painting foundation. What should I do? First _ Comment on Emperor: _ Even if illustration is based on zero, you should have a good attitude.
For many friends who want to learn illustration, learning illustration on the basis of 0 is a blank number. 0 stands for everything, you should learn and experience from scratch. 0 means that you are still useless in this industry, and 0 also means many challenges, which makes many 0-based friends walk to the door of the illustration and can only walk around twice. They silently said to themselves, I like illustrations, but I ...
In fact, there is absolutely no need to have such a mentality. If you want to be an illustrator, you need to first determine a correct concept: no matter who you are, you can't be born with an illustrator. Now even the top experts in the illustration industry are learning from scratch. No matter who you are, you must have a growing process. 0 is not our destination, but our starting point. 0 is where we rise, and it is the beginning for us to enlarge ourselves constantly.
Second _ Comment on Shuo Shuo: Even if you are confused, you should have a good teacher.
It's normal to have all kinds of confusion in my heart when I just started to learn illustration. Don't wait until the confusion is solved to learn illustration, because your confusion can't disappear. Whose life is not confused? Confusion is actually a common psychological state of human beings. We can't be dominated by such forces. Admit confusion, respect confusion, break through confusion, confusion can accompany you, but not confusion. Many times, learning illustration is the best way to break through confusion.
Many classmates will say, I don't know where to find a good teacher. Even with a good teacher, people have no time to teach me. If this was the case 20 years ago, it is very convenient to study in the internet age now. I know a great teacher of board drawing and illustration. He broadcasts relevant knowledge points online for free at eight o'clock every night. Listening to this teacher's lecture, I have a sobering feeling. It turns out that painting is so simple, and real master teachers can explain complex things easily. Students who want to learn can go to Mr. Yu Rou's Wei Xin (homophonic): The first group is: W.
Because of learning, it is strong, because it is strong, it has a future, and the future is not waiting, nor complaining, it is useless, it is all learned, and it is born to be strong.
The third _ comment on "Talk": Even if it is difficult to learn, it is easy to learn.
Many students always stay in their own thinking space. I don't know which ghost says illustration is so difficult, so I have a fear. Can you learn this? Does it suit me? Actually, what I want to say is that everything is easy these days. You must endure everything. To put it bluntly, don't you just want to take a shortcut among shortcuts? Don't you just want to be successful? Frankly speaking, this situation exists, but it is rare and does not belong to us. Learning in a down-to-earth manner is the most reliable. It is ridiculous to wait for the illustrator to become simple and wait for the pie to fall from the sky. This is also a great waste of time. We're all adults. Don't have such childish dreams again. If you want to learn, open posture. I'm afraid I'll get nowhere in the end.
Send everyone an old saying: Is it difficult to do things in the world? For it, it is easy and difficult; If you don't do it, it's hard for easy people. Is it difficult for people to learn? Learned, difficult people will be easy; If you don't learn, it will be difficult for easy people.
Fourth, it is very difficult and ugly to make a bed scene. Think about it.
1. Improve the painting function as much as possible.
If you are determined to draw illustrations, picture books and the like, there is an interesting fact that painting is not that important.
Even stick figures and pencil drawings are ok, as long as you can convey the information clearly.
Of course, under the same conditions, the winner must be a good painter.
If possible, try to improve your painting skills, but if you can't draw well, don't be sad. You can still draw illustrations.
1. Draw first, then solve the problem.
Normal people suddenly have a strong desire to paint, and generally have their own emotions to express. In this case, slowly talk about composition, picture composition, color, three-dimensional deconstruction and so on. It will only dampen the enthusiasm of painting and make you feel that painting is not fun. It's best to draw first, because you have strong feelings and are not limited by rules, and the picture may be interesting. Picture Caton, find the answer according to the question.
Improper modeling, etc. , and then make up the sketch. The color is ugly, and then look at the color correlation.
There is nothing new in composition, etc. Find the right keywords, and all the missing points can be filled in.
Use related words to search, videos, blogs, books, all of them, and you can find more suitable suggestions according to the comments.
If you can PS, AI is naturally good. If not, then learn slowly. You don't have to learn all the functions at once. You can go back if you have problems. The most important thing is the ability to draw by hand. When you encounter a problem, first look for the answer from the art knowledge. Sketch, structure, color, etc.
After this lap, if you encounter problems again, try to find answers from photography knowledge, such as composition, story, key moments and so on. This lap is stuck, try to find the answer from the film knowledge.
In addition, both Japan and South Korea have Chinese versions of how to become illustrators, which can be chosen according to their own direction.
Fifth _ Do you want to stand out?
1: Determine your own style.
My works have my preference for shapes and colors. I like Van Gogh, Jimmy and Miyazaki Hayao.
CG games are also very interesting, but I don't like them.
After determining the style, the learning speed is faster, and some things don't need to be learned at all.
I didn't study perspective, mapping and so on, which are not very important in my picture, and can be solved slowly later.
But if you prefer the human body, game warships and the like, perspective, mapping and even 3D are all necessary knowledge.
2. Don't copy.
After a thorough understanding of a work, it is by no means plagiarism to be able to make something similar in style.
If you can only copy but not create, the theoretical part needs to be supplemented. After understanding the theory, it is not difficult to create.
If you don't understand, you can only paint according to your skin.
3. Learn from the master, and only after sending out the works can you have correct guidance.
Experts suggest that you keep your personal characteristics and point out the direction.
And some good teachers will often remove your characteristics and give modular suggestions to make the picture mediocre. Painting skills are not so important, but your thoughts, feelings and expressions are more important.
Many people draw better than Miyazaki Hayao, but not everyone can compare with us.
For example, in Beijing, Chen Danqing, old painters and painters, Huang Yongyu, etc. Be sure to go to the offline exchange meeting. What he said on the spot is very different from the video, and he often has the opportunity to ask questions on the spot. Ask experts, ask more theoretical questions, and don't ask low-end hands-on questions.
4. Participate in difficult competitions.
Only in this way can we keep up with the first-line experts and know where we are.
Try to do something slightly above your ability.
I used to draw only one page, and I drew a picture book for the first time. I made many mistakes in my haste before I realized my shortcomings. Look at the award-winning works in previous years after submission. The composition and creativity are excellent. The gap between them is even more obvious. Although you can take some foreign orders and understand the degree of market recognition, newcomers don't have to spend too much time on it. When the skills are not mature, try different skills and draw more.
Foreign orders often specify the theme and style, and will also give you some illustrations and even composition sketches. The two most difficult problems in painting have been omitted for you. And these two questions are what illustrators need to think most: "What to draw?" "How to draw?"
I like this sentence very much:
The history of the whole art development is not a history of skilled technology, but a history of changing ideas and requirements.
-Gombrich: The Story of Art
Painting skills are not so important, but the idea of the picture and the information you want to convey are more important.
I hope it helps.
After reading the comments, add one more point, how to keep the right direction:
5. Be sure to communicate with the master.
Although their feedback is only a few words, there is enough information for you to adjust your direction.
Once comments talk about color, composition, or lack of story. Look for knowledge points from the keywords they feedback. Be sure to remember humility, courtesy and gratitude. Thank you for your patient comments. Don't hesitate to reach out to the parties and ask them to elaborate in 8 thousand words. Once you give the key words, buy a book and find a video to show your sincerity.
In this way, the next time you send a picture, you have got rid of the old problems and developed a new style. They will see your sincerity and are more willing to communicate with you.
I often meet good people who tell me about the picture in private. Thank you very much.
Don't be afraid to lose face, don't be afraid to ask silly questions, make more mistakes and quickly add blank knowledge points.
From beginners to serious learners, the feedback information has changed from "awesome" to "here, here is not quite right" If you are badly hit, you can stop and show this painting to friends who appreciate it and ask for encouragement and praise. Then try to draw it again, change it again, and ask for criticism and suggestions after promotion.
Always remember your original heart. If you paint for fun, you don't have to go to the fork in the road. Rest when you are tired, not for quick success, just be happy. If you are happy, your work will be happy:) Really ~ ~
