Japanese Illustrations of European and American Figures —— What are the common picture styles of illustrations?

I need to know the characteristics of illustrations in various countries, such as China, South Korea, Japan, Europe and America.

The illustrations of China and China in modern Shanghai are representative, influenced by foreign countries and combined with their own characteristics. It has influenced for a long time, including many movie posters before the 1980s, and we can still see the shadow of that era. Including posters during the war, it is also a representative style.

Korea, win with color. I occasionally see Korean things, which are not much different from China. Others are made directly with Chinese painting, which I don't know much about.

Europe and America, with a long history, have many different styles, such as those with many patterns during the Renaissance, which are very representative. There are obvious differences in figures' illustrations in different periods, such as distorted satire, realism and muscle pursuit of structure. Spider-Man, Batman and so on. If it is subdivided, the United States and Europe will be different. For example, posters of modern American western towns.

In Japan, the representative is Fuji Hua, with a full picture and a large proportion of characters, similar to Japanese dramas.

I think any style and change of illustration is the embodiment of society in a certain period. This is inseparable from social evidence.

In addition, there are many illustrations in ancient China, such as the gossip on the signboard of fortune tellers, the plant sketches in the compendium of materia medica, and the rare inserts of famous works such as The West Chamber.

I thought the same thing.

I don't specialize in illustration, so I don't know. The above is my own opinion.

Your graduation project in Japan and South Korea may be a bit difficult, especially in South Korea, where there are too few reference materials. And Japan really has nothing to say except a few superficial words.

If you want a breakthrough, interesting, you can see China. After all, not many people study it. It is best to write illustrations in Europe and America, and there are too many references. It should be easy.

We can look at the interaction between China and Japan and South Korea, Europe and the United States and China, and even Europe and the United States and Japan and South Korea with China as the main line. (purely personal)

I am also an art major. I'm a senior three. I hope everyone can succeed.

What are the common picture styles of illustrations? 1. Fashion style illustrations.

Whether Japanese or European or American, they generally don't choose particularly bright colors, mostly fresh and elegant, especially the colors that are common in nature and daily life. Because this color lasts longer, even staring at it will not cause aesthetic fatigue. We also need to pay attention to this point in the handling of such paintings.

Second, humorous style illustration

It is very common to use exaggerated modelling technique, which is very common in European and American styles. The choice of color is also exaggerated, which makes people feel ridiculous at first glance-

Of course, there are also many excellent humorous illustrations in Japanese secondary style. Generally, people who are cute, especially those with chubby faces and round eyes, are their signature features.

Third, the aestheticism style illustration

Quiet and peaceful is the theme of this painting. For students who are used to fierce confrontation, occasionally watching some of these works will make your whole body and mind calm down.

In terms of color, generally speaking, neutral colors and cool main colors are the most common, and the characters who appear generally do not have much tension. Sometimes they even abandon the characters in order to render the silent atmosphere. Of course, in order to avoid the picture being too dull, occasionally some elements of dynamic effect are added to break the picture.

The rain in the picture is this feeling of "moistening things silently"-

The meteor in the distance is not too conspicuous, which also increases the visibility of the picture-

Fourth, realistic illustrations.

Should it be the most common style? Draw what it is and express it clearly. Need I say more?

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Q style illustration

Are you really familiar with the Q version? Commodity packaging, page design, game characters ... Whether it is the second element or Europe and America, the general shapes of all kinds of big-headed dolls will never be out of date. That's either naive or innocent expression, which really melts people-

Six, mechanical science and technology illustrations

Heavy steel and gears, static buildings, and internal cutting with a sense of design ... these are frequent visitors to mechanical and technological styles. Different from the small freshness we come into contact with, mechanical technology doesn't have so many fancy colors. Generally, three or four colors are enough. Some even solve problems in black and white.

Designers like this use almost only black and white to solve problems skillfully. But the effect is amazing—

The color is not rich, but the majestic momentum is at least very successfully expressed-

There are also many such painters in Japan, which form a "contrast" with Miss Sister. Those who have recently played Girl Frontline should be familiar with this painter, right?

Seven, decorative style illustration

Mostly decorative content, pay more attention to the treatment of lines, and be flexible in color matching, which is both elegant and elegant.

And this eye-catching—

Eight, image synthesis wind illustrations

In the tutorial a while ago, we told you that many business-oriented projects usually take one month. It is impossible to give you a long time to describe some details in such a short time. At this time, pasting materials is a very effective method, and we also have a saying called "half P and half painting".

In many conceptual designs, this method is also a frequent visitor, especially sometimes, designers want to determine whether it is appropriate to add trees or buildings in a certain place, but it takes too much time to draw directly. At this time, just take it directly from the photo.

In addition to conceptual designers, there are many secondary painters who also use this method, such as the illustration of the following young lady-

Ask a foreign illustrator? Most of the works are about a girl with various animals on her head. The painting style is a little Japanese. There are octopus, fox, bird and so on. The following is a set of hand-drawn illustrations by Camillad'Errico in Canada. Camillad'Errico, an Italian artist, is eye-catching for her unique and unique illustrations. Gorgeous colors, cartoon-like characterization techniques, and the combination of girls and various animals have a romantic flavor in strangeness. Soft style and delicate brushwork make every work shine.
