Black and White Illustrations in Simple Chinese Style - Picture Request: Steps for Black and White Hand Drawn Illustrations!
Please recommend a Chinese style illustration tutorial
Only speaking about illustration painting, there are more and more Chinese style painters~~(Glad~~TT)
I would like to recommend a few painters with considerable quantity and quality of their works to you~~~
Ibuki Satsuki (this one is already so famous, many fans of Kensan have spread it widely~)
Mao Jun Dabai (has a tutorial on "Beauty Between Flowers - Ancient Style CG Illustration Techniques")
Dezhen (a well-known painter in Taiwan, with a realistic style of meticulous brushwork and heavy colors.)
Zhang Wang (the truly most Chinese-style painter I have found so far~)
Zhang Lu (a Chinese-style painter who combines the basics of Western painting, with obvious advantages in composition, dynamics, human structure, etc. Western style~~He has several very good video tutorials on avatars, you can check them out~~)
==================
Yeah
I am basically a self-taught illustration person. If you really want to work in this field, then the following things are very important. If it is just a simple hobby and you really want to be good at drawing, the following are also worth referring to~~
If you have zero foundation, then you still need to master basic skills, and the human body structure is one of the key points. There are also aspects of composition and color. These things are directly related to the level of painting, and it is impossible not to grasp them.
In terms of human body structure, professionals recommend "Berryman's Human Body Structure", which is a recognized classic. In addition, in fact, you can also refer to the simplified human body summary in the Japanese comic style. I recommend the "Basics of Super Comic Sketching Techniques". Although there are many things wrong, it will be faster to get started.
Although there are professional theories on composition and color, I personally feel that I pay more attention to my own understanding and experience.
Have a rough understanding of basic things (such as various basic composition patterns), and then you can accumulate experience and inspiration by collecting more beautiful pictures. Beautiful pictures are not just paintings, they can also be photos, designs and other fine works. They are not limited to Chinese style, other styles can also bring inspiration.
These basic things can only be mastered by drawing more and practicing more. There are no shortcuts.
If you really want to draw well, sketching and other things that seem to have nothing to do with Chinese style are actually very important.
I am also a self-learner, and I have always suffered from basic problems, so I have to make up for it.
My personal recommended practice method is: copy a large number of sketches, copy an appropriate amount of complete copies, and try to be original with a small amount~~
The second is the tool aspect.
At present, illustrations are mainly based on computer board drawing, and the future development trend should be the same. After all, it is convenient, fast and easy to modify.
So drawing software needs to be mastered. I don’t know your situation in this regard, so I’ll give you a brief explanation.
Drawing tablet, WACOM has always been the mainstream. The professional one is the Intuos series, but personally I think beginners don’t need that luxury. The one that costs a few hundred yuan now has the same pressure sensitivity as the Intuos from a few years ago
In terms of software, the national style trend is currently based on PhotoShop (I personally use PS all the time), and Painter should It's also possible, but the specific situation is unknown
Personally speaking, the Chinese style tutorials I have seen so far are all PS brushes and PS brushes
If you don't have a foundation in this area, then you need to have a basic To master the functions and usage of the software, you can find basic tutorials online or go to a bookstore to buy basic textbooks.
I don’t know much about Chinese-style PS painting tutorials. You can try searching on major video websites.
In addition, for illustrations with obvious styles, brushes are more important.
To put it bluntly, as long as there is an appropriate amount of ink halo and brush strokes, it can bring out a sense of "national style". Therefore, a good ink-textured brush can save a lot of effort.
I recommend a set of Chinese-style PS brushes "Linghua Ink Brush", which I just found a few days ago.
The full version is not available for download, so you can only buy it, but it should be said that it is indeed worth the money. But since you are a beginner, you can use the free version, and you can also consider the 25 yuan streamlined version.
Finally, I strongly recommend that if you want to follow the path of Chinese style, real Chinese painting is the root.
Recommend a few Chinese painting masters that I like~~
In terms of figure painting:
Fan Zeng (freehand brushwork, worthy of worship!)
Yang Shutao (a very typical meticulous lady)
Peng Lianxi (another classic meticulous figure)
Liang Qide (there are a considerable number of line drawing figures, which are worth reference)
Landscape painting:
There are many people who paint landscapes, but landscape painting pays more attention to the overall artistic conception and layout, and not much can be expressed in illustrations. Therefore, I only recommend one master who I personally think is worthy of reference—Zeng Gang. Very fine gongbi landscapes, even in parts, can be used for reference.
In terms of flower and bird painting:
Flowers and birds, especially flowers, should be said to be the most commonly used for illustrations at present
Because the classic style is good at painting There are many people and it’s not hard to find them, so I recommend these two masters:
Zou Chuanan (the one I admire most about meticulous flowers and birds)
Zhou Zhongyao (the master of fine brushwork flowers and birds, with a large number of works) The bookstore also has various picture albums)
This recommendation is based on a relatively strong personal tendency. The style of these two people’s meticulous flowers and birds can be said to have basically broken away from the classic meticulous flowers and birds. It may not be applicable. It is different from those that appear in large numbers in Chinese style illustrations, but I personally think that there are things worth learning from in his works.
If you simply want to accumulate materials in this area, you can consider looking for some line drawings for reference.
In fact, there are not many professional things about Chinese painting that can be found online. If you are really interested in Chinese style, you can often go to the special section of the bookstore to look at real Chinese paintings. Those are the real roots. Requesting a picture: the steps of black and white hand-drawn illustrations!
Pure hand-painting also requires the same technology and materials

And which one do you want? There are many kinds of illustrations...
Some are like comics, some are like sketches, some are like watercolors, some are like oil paintings, and many more are just PS... .
What kind of magazine do you have?

The person downstairs is right. Draw it yourself? Can you draw the effect of computer PS coloring...
But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it purely by hand. Many illustration masters you’ve heard of in Europe and Japan are also purely hand-painted. .
But!! He is a master...and he has been doing art since elementary school...he is the so-called genius illustrator XXX
Yoshitomo Nara
Just pure Hand-drawn...of course some also use computers
If it is purely hand-drawn, there are no steps. The colors are the same as the Mandarin sketches. Just shape the characters and apply paint.
