Color matching illustration-seek the color matching skills of illustrations and the techniques of oil painting and watercolor painting. Digital painting can also imitate oil painting or watercolor painting.

Summary and Appreciation of Several Illustration Styles Some people like watching TV dramas, others like watching variety shows, and so do I like watching pictures. A good work will show you the world built by the artist. Through this painting, you have a different imagination of the world. There are many beautiful things you haven't found. This is the beauty brought by illustration and the reason why I love painting very much. As a non-professional, based on my recent painting experience, I made a small summary of several kinds of illustrations. Just like studying notes, I hope we can learn something from these excellent illustrations.

* Plane style:

The elements in the painting look flat and consist of simple shapes and lines, but the colors are very rich and harmonious.

The clothes of the characters have a strong sense of cloth, which is a bit like a tapestry. Various elements are composed of simple geometric shapes, and some small lines are supplemented by embellishments. The expression of light makes simple geometric figures present a more realistic scene.

The lines are outlined with granular pencil lines, which makes the picture full of childlike interest.

* Rock color style:

Rock paintings generally refer to all works of art with mineral color as the main tone. In my opinion, the works in rock color style are very textured. In order to achieve different painting effects, traditional rock-and-roll works are mostly pasted with gold foil or silver foil on paper.

The following works should be computer-drawn, but they also reach the rock-and-roll style. According to observation, most of the works in rock color style are dominated by gold, black, red, sapphire blue and other main colors, which are very similar to Dunhuang murals.

* semi-realistic style:

The characters are three-dimensional and close to realism, and the clothing has a strong texture. The picture below shows the works of Taiwan Province talented woman illustrator De Dezhen (deceased). I especially like the illustrations of Dezhen series. The characters' eyes are emotional and their costumes are gorgeous and complicated. The background has the texture of rock painting.

The picture below shows the works of Zhang, the first painter in China who won the gold medal in the international comic contest. Successful illustrators' works have distinct personal characteristics. Just like this work, Zhang's illustration has a certain feeling of meticulous painting, but it also has a three-dimensional sense of CG painting. Her color tends to be big red, and the characters in the paintings usually show arrogant and indifferent attitude. I remember that the cover of Scarer, my favorite magazine in college, was a picture, all in this style.

* clear style:

The picture below is the work of my favorite illustrator "Fat Snake". Her blog is called "Fat Snake Wonderland", which should be the title. Her works are clear and full of light, presenting a beautiful and mysterious fairy tale world, with many elements such as little girls, fairies and small animals, which should really be a fairyland.

Her paintings have a delicate and fluffy texture, perhaps relying on tiny and hazy lines. The colors are mostly light brown, light green and light yellow. If you like her works, you can search "Fat Snake Wonderland" on the Internet to see other similar works.

The picture below is similar to the style of a fat snake, and the overall picture presents a clear and warm feeling. This painting is a watercolor painting, unlike the last one, which has many tiny lines. The characteristic of watercolor painting is that the fluidity of pigment is easier to form rich colors.

A good work must be rich and uniform in color. For example, this painting has no trace of light, but it makes you feel that it is in a very bright room. This is the success of color application.

There are many wonderful illustrations, too numerous to mention.

I hope everyone can see more, draw more and think more, improve their painting level as soon as possible and create their own works.

Learn from modern artists the color matching of contrast illustrations, including strong color matching or complementary color matching. Strong color refers to two colors that are far apart; Complementary colors refer to the matching of opposite colors on two color rings.

In actual use, there may be more than one set of colors in the contrast color pattern, and there will be other color combinations, which is also the focus of our discussion today.

Camillewalala is actually a very famous French artist in London and an excellent interior color designer. This year, she also participated in IDS interior design exhibition. She is very good at combining contrasting colors such as red, green, blue, yellow, black and white for plane, interior and architectural design. If we carefully observe the colors we absorb and use, we can make beautiful contrast color combinations.

A very popular website platform on INS,

It's called baseball magazine,

They collected many artists' illustrations.

This style is dominated by contrasting colors.

Everyone has different styles and color habits.

Seek the skills and techniques of illustration and color matching of oil painting and watercolor painting. Digital painting imitates oil painting or watercolor painting, and also wants to learn illustration. In fact, the requirements for painting foundation are not high!

It's popular to draw on the computer with a drawing board now! Photoshop, PT, are both good computer illustration and drawing software (drawing on the computer is more economical, personal view). The drawing number is board, and the general price is within 1000.

In fact, I think illustration has three stages: 1. This is a simple realistic painting (game characters, animation).

2. Freehand brushwork (for example, like Jimmy, observing life and seeing illustrations that can give people a buzz)

3. The third is the neutralization of the first two (a realistic illustration art that can give people a buzz).

According to your situation, you can learn to draw illustrations in the same style as Jimmy first, and then draw some realistic ones!

I hope my humble opinion can help you! Self-creation: Maybe you don't pay enough attention to life. Read more philosophical books, look at things around you from different angles and modes of thinking, and raise your illustration to a spiritual height. It is suggested to see how some modern (oil painting) abstract painters use painting language to express spiritual meaning. (Dali ~ Picasso, my favorite)

2. The line is not smooth: the problem of the line is mainly practice, which can be solved through long-term practice. Don't worry. There is such a process in learning painting. )

3. Color matching: it is the problem of adjacent colors and complementary colors. You may understand that if doing a color circle exercise is 80% to 90%-simply give an example of red+blue = purple, then you can get that purple is the adjacent color of red and blue, and the three primary colors in the color are red, yellow and blue, and red+blue = purple, so yellow and purple are complementary colors. In fact, these are the principles of physical optics. Understand these in order to better grasp the color relationship, so that you can. It's better to see more and feel more. It should be very helpful for you to draw illustrations by looking at the colors used by classical painters and the proportion of colors in the pictures. After all, painting is an illustration handed down from generation to generation, and it is also the development of painting.

Oil painting skills: Oil painting and gouache painting are similar in painting methods. If you have gouache foundation, you should be able to get started quickly, but oil painting is definitely not as fast as gouache, so you should use some tips when covering it: you can dry it before applying it (not completely dry, as long as it does not affect the color cover), that is, apply it layer by layer, make the base first, use quick-drying oil when making the base, and then reduce the amount of quick-drying oil layer by layer. If you find it necessary to modify the color stack, scrape it off with a scraper. Watercolor skills: Watercolor pays attention to neatness.

When painting, it should be molded at one time, clean and tidy. Paint the color a little lighter. Free and easy can show people's temperament,

Exquisiteness can express people's taste and painting skills.

Palette, brush, brush Personally, I feel that the hair of the pen is a little harder to use, such as howling, and it is best not to buy hard nylon.
