Here are five basic graphics.
(1) ribbon.
(2) Graphic box.
3 arrows.
(4) bullets.
(5) villain.
The drawing of ribbon is very simple.
① Draw a rectangle first.
(2) Draw the folded parts at both ends of the rectangle at the back, paying attention to the same width as the rectangle.
③ The connection is disconnected.
Draw a shadow.
Ribbons are used to highlight titles or emphasize key points. When taking visual notes, we can highlight important text information with streamers. The titles of many visual notes are framed with ribbons, so a simple design can make the theme of the whole visual note stand out.
Second, the graphics box.
In visual notes, we often use three forms of graphic boxes: cloud boxes to express thinking, fantasy and imagination, dialog boxes to express dialogue, and text boxes to highlight text information.
The graphic box looks very simple, it just looks like the deformation of a circle and a square, but it still takes some practice to draw the soul of the graphic box. Whether it is a cloud box, a dialog box or a text box, a stroke can only show a sense of fluency from beginning to end.
According to the usage scene of the content, we can draw graphic boxes with different shapes to enrich the presentation effect of visual notes, such as explosion boxes, stationery, whiteboards, calendars and even puzzles. What kind of picture frame to use depends on the scene. For example, the explosion box can be used to emphasize the information of special explosion, and the content with tips can be displayed in the form of whiteboard.
Just like its name, the graphic box can frame the content of thinking, dialogue and text information and distinguish it from other content.
Third, the arrow
A simple arrow can be drawn with two strokes, a straight line and an angle. A little more complicated is to draw a triangle at one end of the rectangle.
Arrows also have many variants, and we can also combine them with some commonly used graphic elements to give them more meanings. For example, by combining arrows with signposts, signposts are drawn. Another example is to add a dotted line to the "body" part of the arrow to form a "path", and the part pointed by the arrow represents the goal and vision.
Arrows are used to indicate the direction. In visual notes, we will add arrows between modules to guide the reading order.
Four. bullet
When we make a to-do list, we will list the to-do items one by one on paper and draw a box in front of each item. These little boxes are bullets. Bullets can be squares, circles, triangles, numbers and letters.
If you like, you can color and shade bullets, or draw graphic elements that match the content information. If I am making a note related to geographical knowledge, I will use the locator as the bullet of this note, which complements the theme.
Bullets are symbols used to mark several pieces of information at the same level, which we often use when writing or making slides using Word documents. In visual notes, it is much better to arrange the contents one by one with these symbols than to pile up large paragraphs of text together.
V. villains
The villain used for visual notes can be drawn in two strokes, which is very simple, that is, "star man"
The drawing method of "Star Man" is to draw a circle as the head of the villain, and then draw the four corners of the star as the body of the villain, thus drawing a "Star Man".
Expressions are very important for expressing the state of characters, so you must reserve some expressions when you study. First of all, you should know that drawing a face with the same circle, plus eyes and mouth in different directions, will make the face look like it faces in different directions.
If you want to draw all kinds of facial expressions, just open the QQ chat interface and observe and copy those expressions, and you will find some feelings. You don't have to memorize all the expressions, just master the common expressions such as happiness, sadness, thinking and doubt.
In addition, painting action is the difficulty of painting characters. We can make different actions by changing the positions of the four corners of "Star Man". The advantage of drawing "Star Man" is that you don't have to consider complicated hand-foot painting. Here are some common role actions. When you don't know how to draw an action, the trick is to pose secretly and then remember. Don't covet complicated graphics at the beginning of learning. Don't forget that the initial intention of our visual notes is to present the core content information. Instead of spending time decorating villains, spend time thinking about how to express the content better.
