Firstly, the characteristics of illustrations are analyzed.
Graphic illustration is a very popular illustration style at present. To make a graphic illustration, we must first understand and analyze its characteristics.
In modeling: concise, simplify complex modeling.
In light and shadow: remove the gradient and texture effect of light and shadow, and use solid color more.
Second, the illustration drawing tools
Modeling is what ai is good at, so we use AI to draw the modeling of objects and use AI to make colors. These two softwares cooperate with each other and can meet almost all our needs.
Third, composition
Taking a photo as the main body, you can delete and modify the objects in the photo appropriately. For example, the shape and position of the bamboo raft are not so ideal. We can use the bamboo raft in the picture on the right instead.
We can divide the picture into three levels: the close shot is a bamboo raft, the middle shot is a mountain, and the distant shot is the sky.
V-shaped composition with high side and low middle.
Fourthly, drawing steps.
Step 1:
Use the stippling brush in ai to draw the close shot, middle shot and distant shot layer by layer. You just need to draw a rough outline. You can copy photos directly after locking. You just need to draw the outline and then delete the path inside to get a face.
Step two:
Use plug-ins to convert the drawn ai into layered psd, and draw colors in psd. The shape of each layer is mainly monochrome. The choice of color can refer to the color of the photo, such as early morning, afternoon, or night, just absorb the color.
Step 3:
Adding water surface reflection and detail texture, using Boolean operation, adding ripples and details to the reflection, does not need to be complicated, but it can be abstract.
