Slowly paint watercolors (summary), treat each painting as your own famous work!

After experiencing the lag of not being able to continue painting in the early stage, something has suddenly dawned on me recently, that is, you should paint each painting as your own famous work, and you must paint it slowly!

You have to become famous early. You make mistakes and miss out. Sometimes you hate yourself for being so unfulfilled. However, I really love myself as I draw now, and I try my best to hug myself.

All persistence will not be in vain, and growth is a long process. Come and witness these growth together.

For the girls in my circle of friends with the 12 zodiac signs, I completed 7 photos in one ***, and I will complete the remaining ones later.

It is a simple figure without any decoration. Because I refer to the real portrait painting of a friend, I test my observation ability and strive to draw a beautiful image!

I drew two guest pictures. In addition to the similarity, I also added body parts. I also found some problems that need to be improved. You will be rewarded if you try.

I drew 5 portraits in the series of free-flowing portraits. I collected materials from the Internet and then used them as I wanted, trying to add as much creativity as possible.

The above is all the output in the past month. I drew them one by one and put them together. I still feel a full sense of accomplishment. I can see my progress and I also have some tips to share with you.

Mentality

Once you can no longer draw, stop.

I was stuck. I didn’t know what to draw, and I had no ideas in my mind. I had insomnia for 2 nights because of this, and then I didn’t draw for a week to relax. Later, I repainted, and when I touched the pen, I felt a long-lost sense of intimacy. The so-called distance creates a sense of beauty, but I believe that this short break must not be put aside for a long time.

Wherever your heart is, it must be the most beautiful place. If your heart yearns for it, it will definitely become a wonderful thing. Follow your heart, paint if you feel like it, and stop if you don't want to paint.

Looking for an organization

After experiencing group fun, I realized that I missed a lot when I was alone. A group of like-minded friends talk about painting and gossip.

I feel that Illustrator Yige and those cute classmates are different from me, but they are not. I am glad that I have met them. They are all excellent and I have learned so much. Thank you (?ω`?). Want to get to know them? Go to the illustrator's homepage and you will surely be surprised.

On the way to learning painting, go out, meet like-minded people, and find an organization of your own. Encourage and cherish each other to make each other happy and grow. It is so happy to love and be loved.

Learn

See how others draw

I used to practice this way, eyes. I have been used to drawing like this, so I repeat it forever. As everyone knows, drawing There are thousands of ways to use eyes, but mine is the most unscientific. What’s wrong with me is that I’m too lazy to look at how other people draw, and I’m completely self-absorbed, working behind closed doors. Maybe this is very personal, but it is difficult to enter the mainstream market.

Later, I went to learn other people's techniques. When I couldn't draw anymore and ran out of ideas, I started copying. It should be a semi-copying, and I added my own ideas when copying.

Look at other people’s works. Related books are also very good. They can increase your knowledge and broaden your horizons. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Just pretend to understand and appreciate them. If you just pretend, you will really understand, and your appreciation will come quietly.

Inspiration

Inspiration is very mysterious. My inspiration comes from pictures that I can effortlessly pull out at any time on my phone. I save the ones I like when I run out of inspiration. When I browse around, I can always find some small changes in myself. Pictures that I used to like very much suddenly feel boring. Pictures that I didn't like before suddenly feel very special. She has completely transformed into a fickle woman.

I have two notebooks, one to record the knowledge I have learned and notes from lectures; the other to record some ideas that come to mind, which can be added to the paintings. Many times, inspiration is forgotten as soon as you are not careful, as if it never came.

Innovation

The world is so big that I can’t even finish painting it. I want to paint it all. Some people may ask, aren’t you always painting people, or are you just painting women?

My facial features and hairstyle will be as different as possible every time. This is also an attempt. New attempts will encounter new problems, and naturally, there will be gains.

After painting what I owe, painting landscapes, and animals, it’s wonderful to think about it.

Slow down

If possible, line drawing and coloring are completed in two days. It will be done too hastily in one breath, and it will be boring later in the painting, and it will end hastily, and many details will not be enough.

Slow down, line drawing is the top priority, review it several times, and then start coloring if you can’t find any faults. Slow down, look at the color matching for reference, and apply the paint more evenly. Slow down and give yourself a lot of time to think about how to interpret the painting to make it impeccable.

Comparison

Others draw well and make rapid progress. While I am happy for others, I am also a little anxious about myself. In fact, everyone has different foundations and different understandings. Just be yourself. I only compare myself with my former self.

Don’t exaggerate every compliment from others. Praise will not make you progress. The question is, are you happiest when others find fault?

Paint watercolors slowly, and treat each painting as your own famous work. It sounds like you can really become famous, haha. I still have to have ideals, just in case they come true.

Just keep painting, keep painting, until I can’t stop painting. Even if it doesn't really succeed, the hard work and persistence may not have been spread.

I only saw "She, after 50 years of painting, the people who know her are still only within a radius of 5 meters." Look, even though she exists like a pig, it is only a matter of time before she becomes famous.

That’s all I can think of at the moment. In fact, I’m not very confident in saying this. I hope I’m right. Different opinions are welcome.

If you also think I have made progress, please give me a like.

Sincerely thank the partners of the Yige family for sharing everything. Everyone is so good, do you want to get to know them?

There is also an open class that I can share with you. On the Litchi micro-class platform, look for the live broadcast room of "Nana JULY". The first class in it is free to listen to. I hope it can help everyone. Let’s cheer together on the way to painting (_?)?
