How to Become an Illustrator Conditions for Becoming an Illustrator 1 _ What the world has not given us, we will give it ourselves. As long as we are willing to learn, there is no illustration that we cannot learn.

Children, if you want to learn illustration, start learning it. Don't worry about this condition and that condition. Can some people learn without education? Some entanglements can be learned without art foundation? Some people are obsessed with whether they can learn when they are old. In fact, these are not big problems. There is no foundation. If you work hard for another month, won't you have a foundation? Is no one born? What does it matter if you don't have a degree? What others see is your work, not your education, but your strength. No matter how highly educated you are, it's no use drawing rubbish. The so-called age, not to mention troubles, can be learned at any age. Learning illustration has nothing to do with age, but with hard work. What matters is whether you are willing to learn, which is very important.

We should remember that what the world has not given us can be given by ourselves. Calm lake water, comfortable environment and skilled illustrator are the best learning conditions.

To learn illustration, we must first lay a good foundation. If you have no foundation, you can study and practice basic skills before going to school. This will become very easy. Don't be impatient when studying. You should settle down and learn illustration. Only down-to-earth, step by step, quantitative change can cause qualitative change.

A good teacher will make your illustration study advance by leaps and bounds.

Many students asked me if I knew any excellent illustrators. Of course, I did. Let me tell you one that is more suitable for everyone. For many years, he has held an open class of board drawing illustration at 8: 00 every night. Every night, many people come to listen, and there are also many friends who have no foundation. Because it sounds good, easy to understand and fun, it is better to listen to the teacher's class than to waste time playing with mobile phones. You can see his idealism (homophonic): the first group is: w9_ Go slow, go slow, go slow _aka_ Step on the face, solve the obstacle group, pure-mulberry-shallow 5- fundraising.

Many students always think too much, do too little, and are too impetuous. If so, let alone learn illustration, it is difficult to learn anything. Once again, we must keep our feet on the ground. This is a kind of persistence. Only by standing the test of time can all our efforts not be in vain. Without persistence all the way, there is no set goal. Even if we have a heart that is not impetuous, we may not succeed.

I want to lie down and cook with you.

A person's success depends not on his wisdom, but on his perseverance. No one is born to be an excellent original painter or illustrator.

1 lay a good foundation.

Only by laying a good foundation can we climb higher and go further. This is why students with zero foundation should start with the basic art, that is, sketch. Just like building a house, if the foundation is not solid, it will be difficult to continue later. The higher the level, the more dangerous it is and even unable to continue. Understand black and white, composition, perspective, anatomy/musculoskeletal, color argument, shadow contrast and so on.

Without these foundations, you'd better not call yourself a painter. If you want to go further, you should not only learn the basics, but also learn the essence and learn thoroughly. Many students are eager for success, so they spend a little time on the basis of art, because they think the basis of art is boring and want to go to the computer. When they draw on the computer to a certain extent, they still feel that the foundation is not solid, which leads to the bottleneck period. When I went back to learn the basics of fine arts, I knew that I had laid a good foundation, and then I could climb higher and go further in painting.

2 Broad vision.

When you broaden your horizons, you will have more daydreams. Never be a frog in the well. High vision can completely open your broad mind, keep up with the times and the trend of the times, constantly explore new styles and different painting methods, and learn to draw inferences from others. In fact, all the cultures in the world and the artistic movements in history are the sources of your inspiration. Combining the artistic styles of different times and cultures may produce unexpected effects.

3 learn to think.

Painting, like language, is a way to express one's heart. I say what I think, I write down what I mean, and I draw my feelings. But occasionally I will stop writing and think about whether my works express my true thoughts or reflect on the world. The thoughts you put into your work will make your work more profound and meaningful.

4 cannot be mechanically repeated.

Simple things are not easy to repeat. Why do people make mistakes is because they are unfamiliar, just as people don't think that one plus one mistake is two. Yes, art comes from life and is higher than life. Your painting should tell a story, express an emotion and reflect a mood.

Don't just make superficial remarks, seek truth from facts.

No one can take the shortcut to success, and success cannot be copied. Successful people have one thing in common: realism and pragmatism. Novices generally like endless soft skin textures, all like porcelain dolls. It is necessary to exclude the good and the bad.

In fact, whether the surface texture is perfect or not is not important.

It's true that the surface painting is good. It looks like your work is very shiny. However, if the composition ratio and perspective ratio are wrong, it is useless for people to draw beautifully and have delicate skin. Like a multiple-choice question. If you make the wrong choice, no amount of explanation will help! Wrong direction will only be the opposite!

Have confidence in yourself and keep learning!

Masters need time and experience. Rome was not built in a day. You can't be a fat man in one bite, and you can't be a good painter in one day. Many people like to brag about how talented they are. They never take a brush, and they draw as well as Leonardo da Vinci as soon as they come up. Even if you draw a sketch book or two, it is just two small steps in the Long March.

Take the painter as an example. Drawing more than a dozen hands won't let you know how to draw hands overnight. No matter what the painters say, I have never held a brush before and so on. . A really good painter can only draw hundreds of hands before he can really draw them. If you draw a few exercises and feel that there is no breakthrough, that is normal. Don't feel that you have no talent.

What do you need to learn to be an illustrator? Illustrators need to learn the following:

1, simple art foundation.

Sketch is a visual art expressed on two-dimensional materials by using painting tools. Tools used include graphite, pencils, crayons, ink, charcoal, chalk, markers, erasers, etc. , and electronic drawing. The most common carrier of sketch is paper, and other materials such as cardboard, plastic, leather, wood and canvas can be used.

Sketch foundation is the stepping stone and cornerstone of all fine arts painting. A good sketch foundation can be used for smooth painting, creation and expression.

Basic four sketches: black, white, gray, hierarchy, sense of volume and sense of space. Copying is a shortcut, but copying can not be described blindly, but should be interpreted and described in combination with knowledge structure.

Color and knowledge structure are more systematic and abstract than sketch. Many times you think you see color A, but it is actually B. Color should be accurate and knowledge should be experienced; Colors should be gorgeous, fashionable and talented. Too many people draw black and white line drawings, which are passable, but they are easy to color and will soon become ugly. There are also some people who can make a rough line draft look good by coloring.

Sketch, as its name implies, is a method of sketching. Sketch is China's original vocabulary, which belongs to a kind of sketch. Sketch, like sketch, is not only the foundation of plastic arts, but also an independent art form. This independent form was established after Europe18th century. Prior to this, sketch was only the preparation stage and recording means of artists' creation.
