Manual Character Illustration —— How to make the manual for girls look simple

Manual Getting Started Guide | All the dry goods you want are here. Some time ago, I published a personal feeling about the manual-"Talking about the changes of the manual to me", which received some support and successfully pulled many friends into the manual pit. However, many friends said that although they really want to do it and read a lot of guidance posts, they just don't know how to start, and it seems meaningless to just paste and draw. In the face of many puzzles, although I am only a junior in the account circle, I am still willing to share some of my experiences, hoping to be useful to everyone.

The first is the definition of counterparty account. With the increasing popularity of hand accounts, more and more people understand hand accounts, but we also find that the same meaning has different Chinese characters. Some people write "manuals" and others write "manuals". So, which is the normal state? WeChat account group WeChat official account has sent a related tweet, detailing the origin and development of "account number" and "account number". There is no word "Zhang" in Japanese in history, but the word "Zhang" in Chinese is differentiated from "Zhang", and the two words can be used universally. It was not until 200 1 that the two words were formally used separately. Generally speaking, the word "Zhang" will be more in line with Japanese usage and closer to the original culture. But whether it is "hand account" or "hand account", as long as the action of writing a hand account itself makes you feel meaningful, the rest is not so important.

So having said that, what can I write in my account? Japanese Wikipedia explained that "the manual is mainly used in modern times, including itinerary management, recording actions, taking notes, etc." At the same time, some professional fields or manuals with identification function are also called manuals. With the popularization of manual culture, its definition is broadened, its writing scope is expanded and its content is gradually diversified.

Based on my personal experience, I think there are six main uses of hand accounts.

1. Time management

In terms of time management, you can write down your annual plan, monthly plan, weekly plan or daily plan in your notebook. Now I will focus on how to combine notebooks with time management in my daily plan.

As can be seen from the picture, in addition to the date of each day, my day's time management mainly includes these three parts, time spending, task planning and diary.

In terms of time spending, the best way is to draw a timeline or pie chart, master your day's action flow, and see where your time is spent.

You can buy a notebook with a timeline or time pie chart, edit and print it out with EXCEL, or draw it yourself in the notebook. Not difficult. You just need to draw a straight line and divide the time from getting up to going to bed every hour or half an hour. Then you can directly write down what you did during that time, or you can fill this time with colored lead of different colors.

Of course, if you find it inconvenient to bring a notebook, you can also use the APP to record at the same time. Hour and time recording are relatively easy-to-use time recording applications. Wait until the recording of the day is over before copying it to your account.

Why do you want to copy? Because I think it will be more intuitive to record with a notebook, especially when summing up every week, I can intuitively see how I spent every day of the week, and I can also find out my free time of the week more quickly.

The second one is

Task plan

You can write down the "three frogs" you want to eat every day or the daily to-do list according to the recommendation of time management experts.

Draw a dot or a box in front of the task, and put a tick every time you finish something. I will mark the unfinished things scheduled for this day with a marker, and then think about why they have not been completed, so as to make a more reasonable plan in the future.

Finally, keep a diary. Some people will say, isn't keeping a diary just keeping a running account? Isn't this a waste of time? Now I'd like to introduce a simple and efficient diary recording method, which is called "three-line diary". I believe many friends who study time management have heard of it.

The so-called three-line diary consists of three parts:

This recording method is very useful and time-saving in both work and study life. It can not only exercise your summing-up ability, but also help you improve your own shortcomings, so as to improve your ability.

I divide my notes into two types, one is reading notes and the other is course notes/work notes. Reading notes are mainly extracted from literature, and the tools are mind map+induction and summary; Cornell notes are used in the course or work notes, and the explanation of Cornell notes is translated in great detail by the author. Please poke the link for details.

The third part is the life record class. I will write down interesting people, interesting things and small fortunate things in my life in my notebook. For example, if you go to some interesting places or some good sharing meetings, you may not be able to fully express your feelings if you just write "I went to the XX sharing meeting or where did you travel" in your work schedule. At this time, you can write down small feelings or draw some small illustrations in your notebook, so that when you take it out later, the scene and mood at that time are vivid, which is both a memory and a pleasure.

For this part of the account, many people think it is meaningless, but how to treat it depends on yourself. Time management is planning, and life records are more like personal unique artistic creation. You don't have to write every day, because after all, there are not so many new things every day, so write if you want. For example, if you think the sharing you attended one day will be meaningful, or if the place you have been to is beautiful and you have eaten a lot of delicious food, or if you just relax because you have a fantasy today, you can write and draw at these times. For myself, I think this is a very enjoyable thing, and it is also a regulator when I am in a bad mood or under great pressure, so since I like and love it, I don't have to care about other people's opinions.

Speaking of which, some people will ask, I can't write well and I can't draw. What should I do?

If your handwriting is not good and you can't draw, but you really want to make your notebook as beautiful as a master, practice your handwriting and learn to draw!

Fortunately, we are in an era rich in information resources. You can buy copybooks if you want to practice calligraphy, and books if you want to learn painting. There are also many free illustration classrooms, stick figure tutorials and so on on Weibo WeChat.

What I want to say here is that I can't find the explanation of resources because of inertia, and the excuse of not having time is more of an excuse. If you have the heart to learn, there must be a way.

Daily punching refers to what must be done every day. For example, memorizing words, writing, reading, exercising, and even chasing plays. It doesn't need to be troublesome to draw. It can be a form, or it can be directly marked with a date. Form is not the most important thing, what matters is whether it plays a role in urging your living habits.

Phased planning refers to things that can be completed in stages with a long time span, such as the final review plan at work or the follow-up plan of the project. When you make a plan, the hand account can play a good role in follow-up and supervision. Of course, you can also choose to write it on the APP. APP and hand account records are not contradictory. As long as they are assigned roles, they can cooperate well. You don't have to worry about where you should write it. The most convenient and suitable is the best.

The list spans a lot, and you can write anything you want, such as your dream list (including personal goals), shopping list, reading list, movie list, travel list and so on. Set a deadline, a year or a month, which you can use to track the realization of your goals and dreams.

Shopping list refers to listing what you want to buy, writing down your budget, and even writing down your shopping feelings and experiences after buying, which can also provide reference for future repurchase;

A travel list is a list of places you want to travel, or how many times you want to travel in a period of time. When I say travel, I don't necessarily mean going to a big, far away place. Because of various factors, there is little time to travel far away, so I will also write down the bookstores or sharing parties I want to go to or some small scenic spots in the province.

The skill list refers to the skills you want to achieve. For example, you want to learn to write a notebook, learn to draw, learn a language and so on. , and then expand, according to your actual situation through phased tasks to achieve. When you divide a major event into stage goals, it will be relatively easy to act, and the realization of each stage task will bring you a greater sense of accomplishment.

This is also easy to understand. We need to pack a lot of things when we go to school, go home, travel and go on business trips. At this time, we can put these things in our hands and think of replenishing them at any time, and then check them one by one when collecting them. Being fully prepared will also make our trip more practical.

Make clear the purpose+demand of writing the manual.

What is the purpose of your notebook? Do you manage your time, plan or record your life? What do you want from customers? These are all questions to be considered before writing a handwritten account. I didn't think much when I first started writing a notebook. I just bought a notebook and started writing. Later, I found that I made slow progress and often didn't know what I was writing for. Therefore, everyone must have an idea before. After all, you don't just want to kill time, but you want to gain something.

Establish your own personal account system

My current personal account system includes three parts: time management planning, life records and reading notes. But this system is not static, you can expand and improve it according to your own needs, but you must form an established mode that suits you, that is to say, you should find a recording method that suits you as soon as possible, and you can't switch between different styles every day, which will be chaotic.

Learn more, imitate more, and keep writing.

This law is universal for handwriting and writing. First find your favorite style through learning and imitation, and then add your own ideas in the process of writing, and over time you will form your own style.

Many people will think that writing a notebook is a time-consuming thing, indeed, but I think that if you want to learn anything well, you need to invest some time and energy. For a beginner, it is a continuous learning process to find a pocket book that suits his own style first. But if you think it is meaningful, when keeping a diary gradually becomes a habit, it will be integrated into your life and become a natural part of your life plan. But then again, if keeping a diary delays us from doing other things, it will not be worth the candle. Therefore, it is most appropriate to control the daily account time at 15-20min.

You can write at a fixed time, such as after getting up every day or before going to bed every day; You can also write it in bits and pieces. It takes 15-20 minutes to keep a diary every day, which won't waste too much time and can bring many unexpected benefits.

Through the combination of hand account and time management, we can not only manage our life better, but also improve the efficiency of study and work.

Whether it is a short-term plan or a long-term plan, the completion of the phased tasks will make us step by step in an orderly manner. More and more, I feel that as long as you plan and act carefully, it is not an unreachable thing to realize your dream.

Everything written in the notebook really happens in your life. Those beautiful fragments, when we don't record them, may pass by with time. However, by keeping a diary, I can not only record the little feelings in my life, but also gradually change my attitude towards life in the process of recording, from being withdrawn and sensitive, timid and inferior to gradually opening myself up and becoming more confident. Writing a handwritten account has gradually become an interest and ritual in my life.

I wrote in my article that I didn't like my major in college very much at first, and I didn't really want to pursue a career in this field, but I didn't make any efforts to change the status quo. After I contacted the manual, I learned a lot about excellent people through it. Under their influence and drive, I began to try writing, began to work hard on manuals, and began to listen to various sharing sessions. Some people say that the books you read and the roads you walk will eventually become a part of your body. And all these things that accompany your experiences and records will be branded into your blood and personality through processing.

The above sharing focuses on experience and methods. Because I don't use many brands and tools in many manuals personally, I will make suggestions only after I have practiced them myself. Thanks for reading ~

Love story, personal account, life.

How to draw the national day handbook;

The first step: composition. You must make a composition before recording the handwritten records. A good composition can be neat even if there is no picture and even if it is pure text. But without good composition, even with illustrations, it will be very complicated and chaotic.

So be sure to pay attention to the balance of the picture. The so-called balance is to stick the map in the right place. When we saw the dark places at once, we made up some light colors and drew small illustrations in the blank places. Leave blank appropriately.

Step 2: Choose a good illustration. Draw a handwritten ledger, not only to record your day, but also to make it full of memories. Therefore, it is particularly important to choose a good illustration and a good composition.

Step 3: Make the font artistic. Using some interesting egos not only conveys the meaning of the text, but also makes the whole text narrative interesting.

Step 4: Draw. Good color matching can make the whole picture harmonious.

Step 5: Use labels and tapes flexibly. The biggest feature of the notebook is that you can paste photos and use a series of auxiliary tools such as stickers to make the whole notebook look good. Use large pictures, followed by complementary sizes of words and pictures (more words, smaller pictures, less words, larger pictures).

Finally, link the whole painting style with the content to make a good-looking manual.

A pen, a circle of tape, a notebook, don't need a lot of materials, also don't need too complicated fancy skills. By recording the little things in daily travel, you can present your memories of past travel in the future.

How to do a good job in girls' accounts? The simple tutorial of the girl's heart book is as follows:

1. Prepare pens, manuals, stickers, tape cutting tools and other necessary items to make the manuals look cute and memorable.

2. First, you can draw some beautiful small objects or animals or graphics, and then see where to draw something after the painting is successful. The following manuals are mainly based on love graphics, supplemented by some small love decorations.

3. I started to prepare stickers. I bought a small roll, so I need a tape cutter at this time, so I can cut as much tape as I want. Tape can be attached according to your own mood, as long as it is pleasing to the eye.

I am ready to write the text. It is suggested that the text written here should be in a lovely and sleek font, because it will highlight the lovely style and be more in line with the style of handwritten account.

Finally, you can check where there are some inappropriate places in the manual, draw some love, illustrations and so on. Where to fill in, draw according to your own expertise.
