Question 1: Hello, how to draw ancient-style figures. You can draw them, but the steps are very complicated. You need a lot of patience and a certain foundation in painting. I will give you the method of meticulous painting. You explain, here are the materials and steps.

Materials: First, paper, choose "ripe Xuan" (a type of rice paper), which is the paper needed for painting works. Qichang is the sketch paper needed for drawing the manuscript (the paper material for drawing the manuscript is relatively hard, because the manuscript needs to be revised repeatedly).

Second, traditional Chinese painting brushes: one tracing pen (need to outline the lines of characters, this pen is dipped in thick ink), one large, medium and small white cloud pen each (a large white cloud pen is used as a clear water brush, Remember, this pen must not be stained with color or ink. This pen can only be stained with water; the second medium white cloud pen is used as a dyeing pen, and the third small white cloud pen is used as a light ink pen)

Third , sketch pencils, erasers, and all kinds of draft pens are acceptable

The following are the steps: First, draw the draft on sketch paper. The size of the characters in the painting is determined by yourself. After the manuscript is initially formed, use an outline pen or a tracing pen to outline the characters in the manuscript.

Second, after the manuscript is formed, cover the "cooked xuan" on the manuscript, and use a pencil to lightly outline the contents of the manuscript. Remember, you must not use an eraser on rice paper. , because the texture of rice paper is very thin, and because there is a waterproof layer on "cooked rice paper", if you use an eraser, it will destroy the waterproof layer and affect the subsequent image quality

Third, rice paper After using a pencil to outline the prototype, use light ink to outline it again to cover up the pencil marks. If you have a certain foundation, you can directly use light ink to outline, then skip the first step

Fourth, After the characters on the rice paper have a certain shape, use a brush dipped in thick ink to outline the areas in the painting that need a certain texture (such as plants, buildings)

Finally, coloring, there is no step in this step If you can’t finish the basic skills, buy textbooks or go to hobby classes for training

Question 2: How to draw an ancient character well? You can go to the bookstore to read and draw too many times, which affects you in your mind. I already know how to draw

Question 3: I would like to ask how the ancient characters were drawn on the same floor, but the hand-drawn line draft was then scanned and then processed with PS/SAI

or a digital tablet Draw directly

Of course it is more convenient to draw directly with a digital tablet

You don’t have to draw the patterns on the characters’ clothes and the background one by one, you can find materials (it doesn’t mean you are lazy) La

If you want to color, it would be better to find some watercolor brushes yourself

Question 4: How to draw ancient style pictures is mainly to draw the feeling of ancient style pictures. It gives the impression that gongbi ink painting and anime style are mixed together, so it is better to practice gongbi painting. Also, the characters in ancient style paintings are more realistic than those in Japanese manga style. The eyes are smaller, the position of the eyes is a little higher (based on adult figures), and the body-to-head ratio is also a little larger. I personally think that ancient-style men (adults) must have two handsome eyebrows and a pair of deep starry eyes! !~For girls, there is no big difference

Then there are all kinds of costumes and props~~How can ancient style pictures not be beautiful, simple, dignified and capable of matching various styles of ancient costumes~~~Beautiful girls follow Beautiful clothes and props complement each other and are inseparable!!~

Another very important thing is the color matching! Generally speaking, the color matching of ancient style paintings should not be too bright or too pure. Color. Because if the bold color scheme is used inappropriately, it will destroy the charm of the picture and make the whole picture nondescript. Therefore, although the bold color scheme is used well, it can sometimes express a unique style. and charm, but if you are not a good person in this area, you will generally not try it easily. As expected, the colors with lower purity will be easier to match.

Finally, It is still recommended to read and copy more good pictures of ancient styles, observe and study more, and it is best to exchange experiences with fellow enthusiasts and collect some amazing tips.

However, the most important thing about painting is to practice more, move, draw, and practice!!~

These are all my own thoughts, although it is just a personal opinion, But I don't think there will be any big mistakes. I hope this answer can answer your questions~~

Question 5: Please recommend some authors who are good at painting ancient characters, "Zhen Zhi Xu Huali" (you can read Buka comics), " "Nan Yan Zhai Transcript" (available on Manga Island) are comics with a good style of painting, but the author is a bit slow, and there is more than one author. . The main author is Wei Yingke Xiaosha, and I also prefer Xia Da and Xiao Bo.

Question 6: If you want a tutorial on how to draw ancient figures, first look for classic ancient works and copy them. It’s best if you have love~ Read more good antique comics, illustrations and other works (if the illustrations are antique, the illustrations are better)~ (like eno., Wang Yi, Han Lu, Feimo, Ibuki Satsuki, Misha, Xi I love wine~) While watching, think more about the characters’ expressions, the use of lines, the matching of colors, etc. (The proportions of comic book characters are generally 7 heads and bodies. Newbies should also pay attention to the proportions~) There are a lot of copying. You can create appropriately by yourself and combine what you have copied before. After you draw more, you will naturally develop a more stable painting style. Then you have to copy. I can’t stop copying this thing. To put it bluntly, you should practice more.

It means I drew it this way too. The painting style is relatively stable now. But there are still many shortcomings. To draw, you should draw more and keep drawing. It is best to draw a pen every day. It does not mean that you have to sit down and draw something seriously. You can just doodle casually.

Dear, come on! I believe you can do it!

Question 7: How to draw ancient characters with colored pencils. In fact, it is more realistic to use watercolor to express it, because some gradients need to be retreated. Fainting requires natural fading, and colored pencils are not as good as watercolors. But if you must use colored pencils, you mainly need to master the methods of color lead arranging, colored pencil fading, and different ways of using pens to produce different effects. , you will gain a lot if you go to some video websites and watch it. I am professional in painting. I typed these words by myself. I hope the poster will adopt them.

Question 8: How to draw The mouths of the ancient characters are hand-drawn line drawings and then scanned and processed with PS/SAI, or the patterns on the characters' clothes and backgrounds can be drawn directly with a digital tablet. You don't have to draw them one by one by yourself. If you can find materials for coloring, you can find some watercolor pens by yourself. It’s better to brush up your skills
