How to draw the original painting well

One? First of all, we must understand what is the foundation and what is the foundation needed by the original painting industry.

Many people have a misunderstanding that foundation is a three-piece set of color pictures, which is too one-sided. In fact, each industry in art-related industries needs a different foundation. Three pieces can only be said to be the foundation of the art test, or-the foundation of the foundation.

And this is not enough.

So what is the basis of the original painting? Before discussing the basis of the original painting industry, we must first understand what the nature of this industry is. In most cases, the original game painting is a design industry that provides design drawings for in-game modeling. Therefore, the things designed by the original painter must be able to satisfy the rationality and beauty in three-dimensional space, so the basis of the original painting should be the ability of spatial imagination-I like to call it the ability of brain modeling.

What is spatial imagination? It is the ability to "rotate an object 360 degrees in your mind and calculate the illumination at all angles". With this ability, you can design in a space instead of a plane, and you can really create without reference.

Two? Two key points should be considered first when learning the original painting on a zero basis.

1, learning purpose

Zero foundation, what is the purpose of your study of the original painting?

If you have to learn painting from scratch, do you want to find out whether you enjoy it or whether you want to paint as a career in the future? Different purposes will determine different learning methods.

The former can be compared with their own preferences. It doesn't matter how the painting is done or what the standard is. The important thing is whether you can keep interest and fun in the process of painting.

However, if you aim at your career, you need to do a lot of boring and repetitive training according to your career needs, and you also need to have a clear understanding and pursuit of good and bad standards. Of course, this is also a good way to make you interested, enjoy it, and be willing to stick to boring training and become a professional painter.

2. What are you willing to pay to learn the original painting? Give up what?

Self-study painting with zero foundation will only consume your time and enthusiasm. There is nothing to say when you are free. Draw whenever you want, and don't draw if you don't want. I don't want to invest too much and I don't need to spend a lot of money. Some brushes, paper, drawing boards, etc. The cost is less than1k. You can find many free online courses for self-study painting. Paid courses can be purchased according to economic needs.

But if you want to change careers or enter the original painting industry, you have to invest a lot of money and energy. It can be said that for this goal, you have to give up many interesting things and give all those entertainment time to painting to improve yourself. From starting from scratch to entering the industry, it is most important to lay the foundation in the early stage. It may take about 9 months for students who have a long training period and are slow to learn. Students who have a basic knowledge and learn quickly can also bring their works to the interview in six months.

June-September is a long learning cycle. If you were lazy in the past, you might have given up if you didn't last so long. If you really love the original painting and are willing to work hard for it, you may get rid of lazy cancer, gradually change and develop a self-disciplined and tenacious self.

To become a qualified original painter from the stage of zero foundation to the interview, you need to master more mature painting theory and creative ability. At the beginning of entry, you need to buy an entry-level graphics tablet, which is not expensive for several hundred dollars. However, if you enroll in class training, the cost of the best big touch courses in the market is basically 2 K. Only theory and work creation need a curriculum system close to the current market demand. Courses developed to meet the market demand will make it easier for you to enter the post of creation and work in the future.

Painting learning is a step-by-step process, and you need to have a clear understanding of your knowledge summary! Friends who like painting are also welcome. You can teach Yang Jun with a free drawing board: 863 plus 540 plus 942. Teachers guide your painting skills online every day, and often share various painting tutorials, resources and experiences to help you open the door to painting improvement.

Three: The study of the original painting is also divided into two parts.

The first part is the basic modeling ability of painting.

The second part is the design ability of basic skills.

In the production and production of the game, the original painting undertakes the task of providing reference and material mapping for the later 3D, that is to say, the original painter draws clearly before 3D can understand it, so the things you make should emphasize clear structure, clear material, harmonious proportion, clear color block distinction and definite size and shape.

Basic design skills mean that the corresponding cultural connotation and temperament state conform to the design principles of the game, and the silhouette modeling of the role, the cutting of clothes and color blocks, the race, attack mode, walking, running, attack and evolution of the role must be in a reasonable and achievable state.

Four: See how the Great God took you to learn the original painting.

1 The graphic tablet is an indispensable drawing tool for drawing the original picture of the game. Wacom is definitely the drawing board for choosing the original game painting, and CTL672 is the most suitable drawing board for beginners of the original game painting. The price is around 500 yuan, which is very cost-effective. Very suitable for beginners of original game painting. It is absolutely impossible to make such a choice!

2. Software for drawing the original image of the game

Photoshop, sketchbook, CSP and SAl are commonly used softwares for drawing original games, among which PS, SAI and sketchbook are most suitable for beginners to draw original games. PS is powerful, and many original game learners choose PS! There are SAI and SAl, which are small, light and easy to use. Some beginners will like them!

3. The determination to learn the original painting of the game

After learning the original painting of the game, you will find that sketching and hand-drawing feel completely different, which is likely to make you overthrow the habit of hand-drawing and establish a new painting habit. So it will be a little frustrating to learn the original painting of the game at first. Here, I'd like to give a wake-up call to some new hand-held original paintings of beginners' games. Don't expect to learn the original game painting soon, it's impossible. Every game original painter has experienced all kinds of hardships!

4. Learn the correct techniques of the original game painting.

The original paintings of learning games are basically blackboard writing, so the blackboard writing has no elastic space of paper, and the blackboard writing accurately captures the trajectory of the pen tip. Therefore, when using the board to draw the original picture of the game, we should pay attention to the finger joints without exerting force, but quickly "sweep" the line with the strength of the wrist or arm. It doesn't matter if it's not right. Press Ctrl+z on the keyboard to cancel redrawing until you are satisfied, but now there is paper specially designed for the original game, which can be spread on the board!

5. Find the original artist of the game you like.

Interest is always the best teacher. Finding a favorite game artist can light a bright light for your road ahead. Usually pay more attention to collecting the works of some game artists, often visit the websites of game artists, and immerse yourself in the works of your favorite game artists, and the aesthetics will be unconsciously driven!

Five? Moved to teach you to draw a good picture, how to avoid detours?

This is an hour's practice. First of all, it is drafting. It is the most important way to choose the draft according to personal habits and feelings about different pictures. It's important to quickly establish the feeling of your picture. Don't care too much about the way of the draft.

In the initial in-depth stage, control black, white and gray. If the control is not good, you can choose black, white and gray on the color wheel in advance. Painterwheel has this function.

Color, here I choose to use the color attribute of the layer to make the color bigger. The key of this stage is how to choose the purity and hue of color according to the brightness of black and white pictures.

Fine painting, with the modeling foundation of black and white manuscript, I will pay more attention to color at this stage. What needs attention at this stage is to control the purity and hue of color. The highest purity is often concentrated in the gray area of the picture.

Adjustment, the late adjustment stage of digital painting is also very important, including color scale, color, saturation, filter and so on, so a good digital painting needs not only painting foundation, but also software technology.

Six: For painting, the tempering of techniques is something that runs through painting, so you don't need to force yourself to have more complete techniques and more skilled skills to complete a complete picture, and then you can use the picture to convey something. First of all, painting involves emotion, and emotions can be conveyed by clumsy strokes and simple colors. The picture completed with the mentality of showing off technology is actually meaningless and deviates from the essence of creation. This is called exercise.

Seven: To draw a good picture, the accumulation and reserve of knowledge is nourishment, and it is a good way to think more, read more and stroll more. There is no idea divorced from reality, and there is no inspiration falling out of thin air. It is not advisable to build a car behind closed doors. It is more important to read more excellent works, compare more and cultivate a broad vision than to dwell on the improved techniques of dead paintings all day.

Eight: Finally, just insist. Painting is a hard job, and you can't go far without love.
