Illustration Course of Ancient Costume —— How to draw beautiful and concise ancient costume dolls

Light college: painting skills of ancient costume figures, how to draw ancient costumes? "Antique" is a classical cultural style based on China traditional culture and combined with China traditional literature, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs. After continuous development and formation in modern times, it has artistic expressions such as music, literature and painting.

As the cultural inheritor of the Chinese nation, I can't help but feel a strong sense of responsibility when I see that foreign countries are constantly innovating traditional culture. We have an obligation to carry forward the spirit and connotation of national culture. We should not let the national culture sleep and become a relic, but take its essence, learn and use it, make it alive and enrich the public experience. Tracing back to the source, we should explore the long-standing illustration art, find the national style belonging to China, promote the nationalization of China's illustration, and show China's cultural values. From point to surface, there will be infinite possibilities in the future.

How is the temperament of "ancient rhyme" reflected? Face, costume modeling and background description are indispensable. Let's learn from Mr. Shang Xiao how to reflect the "ancient rhyme" that once existed in illustrations.

The key to antique clothes is to pay attention to the word "gone with the wind". In addition to military uniforms, in that era when men, women and children were wearing robes, it was necessary to make more efforts in materials and design in order to draw antique clothes. Without material performance, the softness and lightness of the fabric can't be shown, and there is no sense of design, so it is difficult to distinguish between the protagonist and the supporting role, and it is mediocre at first glance.

On how to show the material, fingertip sugar made a demonstration of cotton, sand, leather, wool and collar.

Cotton cloth: draw the ups and downs of the cloth, and express the folds through Y-shape, V-shape and Z-shape, paying attention to the density relationship.

Yarn quality: use lasso tool to eject the shape, fill the color, and then use translucent eraser to erase the middle, leaving the solid line at the edge. Draw the texture of the yarn by horizontal arrangement.

Leather: Hard belts need to draw the thickness, define the edges, and draw rough cuts with a material brush. Soft leather cuffs, the inner edge is wavy after hand bending, and the middle is bright.

Wool: Draw the shape with a fuzzy brush, and then draw the texture of the hair with a coarse brush. Pay attention to the color to avoid too abrupt hair.

Hard collar: Draw the thickness of the collar on the edge, and use the color block to show the sense of fluctuation to emphasize the hardness.

By learning the properties of materials, we can design unique ancient costumes with various fabrics. The design ideas of men's and women's clothes are universal, taking the design of fingertip sugar teacher as an example.

The design highlights of clothing are neckline, cuffs, belt, hem and decoration. Collars are available in cross collar, stand collar and straight collar. The teacher demonstrated a cross collar, and the neckline was decorated with purple patterns. Sleeves are elegant straight long sleeves. If it is a cute character, you can add elements such as bows and flounces. The belt is wrapped in white flowers and decorated with ribbons, and the color can be changed later. The side of the hem is split, revealing beautiful legs. Pay attention to shaping the overall feeling, and make more efforts at the waist and neckline, and the overall shape will be very brilliant.

Clothing drawing needs to be modeled according to human body structure. The shape of the fold will change according to the dynamics of the character. In the treatment of texture, we should pay attention to the soft and hard description of lines and the thickness description of folds when coloring. Don't draw clothes lines with too straight lines, except for the parts where the cloth is tight (underarms, elbows, etc.). ), the rest need to be expressed in loose lines.

Pay attention to the transition between lines and color blocks when coloring, so that lines can blend into the color blocks of the picture, which is helpful to the coordination of the picture. In terms of color richness, ambient light and high saturation colors can be added to the hem, back and shielding area of clothes, which is helpful to enrich the color of the picture.
