In the illustration art world, when it comes to Liu Dongzi, people often comment on him: "Both Dongzi's fists and his

paintings

can knock people down. ”

Yes, the hard-core style of Liu Dongzi’s paintings makes people look so “energetic”. Observing Liu Dongzi's works, the thing he painted most was monkeys. His obsession with monkeys made him paint all the elements related to monkeys. For example, he is a Chinese painting

Monkey King

One of the most vivid illustrators of Sun Wukong.

Liu Dongzi's painting style is full of persistence, but the overall brushwork is also unimaginably humble. Although he paints more Chinese elements, his painting style is greatly influenced by European painting schools. Therefore, Chinese elements interpreted in international style appear popular, fashionable and international.

This fully shows his influence in the Chinese painting world. What are the common illustration art styles in fashion design? Can you elaborate?

1. Pop style

Pop style illustration art appeared and became popular in the 20s and 50s, mainly through the creative techniques of commercial art, forming a fusion A new art style for popular culture and commercial art. At the same time, the relatively exaggerated cartoon images, newspaper print forms and humorous slogans in the Pop style all combine to form the characteristics of the Pop style, and the artistry of the Pop style is very strong [3]. Andy Warhol is one of the most outstanding figures who contributed most to the expansion of Pop style in the field of fashion design. He pioneered the use of paper, plastic, and artificial leather as the basic materials for clothing production, and included it in his illustrations. In order to subvert the traditional design concept, it has distinctive features such as bright colors, avant-garde design concepts and bold color selection. To this day, Pop style illustrations still retain many similarities with Andy Warhol.

2. Abstract style

Usually, abstract style works generally use geometric points, lines, surfaces, circles, triangles, and squares as the main body for in-depth creation, and have unique characteristics in the creative style. Typical abstract characteristics. Mondrian was one of the relatively successful early figures in abstract style works. His abstract style creation method was relatively unique, focusing on the use of various rectangular patterns as illustration content, and this type of illustration art form had a profound impact on abstract style. Take the work "Red, Yellow, and Blue" created by the famous French abstract style fashion design master as an example. This work is deeply inspired by Mondrian's abstract style and uses lines, triangles, and rectangles in a variety of colors to give the audience a unique art appreciation experience. Feel, and give the work a strong sense of visual impact and novelty.

3. Figurative style

The figurative style is different from the two styles mentioned above, and its graphic features are generally realistic and lifelike. Furthermore, the presentation of lines in figurative style works is relatively direct, and decorative generalization, exaggeration and deformation can be carried out to enhance the color sense of the work and highlight the simplicity and sophistication of the work. Take the famous Italian fashion designer Miuccia Prada as an example. She once had the ability to use illustrations directly in fashion design creation. She can fill her costume design works with illustrations, and her works focus on carefully and delicately creating character shapes, highlighting the The color and splendor of the work[4].
