Content introduction

The English name of PERSPECTIVE is perspective, also known as far-near method. This is a painting technique that originated from painting and gradually matured into a "painting method" in the field of modern architecture and design. Comics are not pictures.

Some paintings are "no perspective" and "perspective confusion", but if the perspective is well grasped, the picture will be more convincing.

This book introduces the perspective technique suitable for cartoons or illustrations, which is a means to make the picture real and three-dimensional.

The so-called painting with perspective consciousness refers to the painting with depth consciousness and space consciousness. The characters are three-dimensional, and the background and people are also a "space", which is a generalized "three-dimensional".

I hope that through this book, you can master the method of drawing people and backgrounds according to perspective and the technology of making deep-seated pictures.

How to teach yourself how to become an illustrator The steps to teach yourself how to become an illustrator are as follows:

Understand the basic skills of illustration. Structure refers to the anatomical structure of the painted things, and the illustrator must understand the internal structure of animals or objects. Muscles, bones, skin, hair, trunks, roots, branches and leaves? These are the components of the structure.

Secondly, you should be familiar with the software you want to use. You can find many tutorials of this software on the Internet. You can use a grid to draw shapes, or decompose each object into simpler shapes, such as squares or triangles, so as to get a way to simplify sketches.

Imitation, you can find some simple illustrations to copy first, and then find some relatively difficult illustrations you like to practice after you achieve satisfactory results. Read more pictures at ordinary times, learn more painting skills from others, and exercise more to strengthen yourself. Next, you can find some jobs about illustration, not for salary, but for learning and growing at work.

Extended data:

As an art form, illustration has become an important visual communication form in modern design. With its intuitive image, true sense of life and beautiful appeal, it occupies a specific position in modern design and is widely used in many fields of modern design.

The main work of an illustrator includes drawing illustrations and covers for books, magazines, newspapers, manuals, novels, textbooks and other publications, as well as drawing greeting cards, posters, advertisements, inkjet paintings, humorous paintings and so on.

Divided into electronic illustration and pure hand-drawing. There is a great demand for game and film illustrators. Similar to the game industry, each film and television work will also have a lot of mirror drawing and scene design work, which undoubtedly has a great demand for illustrators in the game and film industry.

How to draw illustrations well, and what is the meaning of illustrations to words? The so-called illustration, as its name implies, is to match words with related pictures, so the central idea of illustration is to express the meaning of words and combine them with words. So how can we draw a good illustration? Many people have this misunderstanding,

People think that illustration skills are more important than creativity, so many people have made great efforts in illustration skills. But I think it is more important for illustration to embody its own style and refine the text. So illustrations are visual expressions of texts.

Illustration set

We will see all kinds of illustrations in our life, some of which are forgotten at a glance, but some of them can leave a very deep impression on people. For example, the film and television work The Lord of the Rings is very popular, but the Hobbit, the predecessor of The Lord of the Rings, presents different images in the works of different painters. 1936, Thor drew an illustration for the Hobbit. The scattered lines in the illustrations show the painter's neat and decent personality. But in 1962, the hobbit's new illustrations reflect the author's melancholy and intelligent image.

Second, how to draw a good illustration

If you want to draw a good illustration, you must pay attention to two factors. The first is your painting ability. Because illustration is a rich picture, we need to have different views on the text and be creative. Because only if your illustrations are attractive enough can the audience like them. Then another factor is to improve the understanding of copywriting. The general source of our illustration is that the company or enterprise gives you a copy, and then you draw according to the copy. So the essence of illustration is to explain the design content to the audience, so you must have your own ability to understand the copy.

Third, the meaning of illustrations.

Now the illustration industry has become a favorite position for many art students. Therefore, for the country, the illustration industry has promoted the domestic employment development, and for ordinary people, there is another channel to choose their favorite industries. Therefore, if you want to learn illustration well, you must start from two aspects, that is, you must maintain your understanding of copywriting and have the ability to break through and innovate.
