title: childhood on earth, my famous translated illustrated book of university name 61

douban score: 7.9

author: Gorky

Press: People's Literature Publishing House

Publication year: 1994-November < The trilogy, which is a colorful historical picture painted by Gorky according to his own life path and Russian social life in the 197s and 198s, is an outstanding artistic treasure. Alesha, the protagonist in the work, is not only a portrayal of Gorky's early life, but also an artistic model of general significance for Russian working people to move towards a new life path after arduous and complicated tempering. Childhood reflects the years when Alesha, the little hero, lived with his mother in his grandfather's house after his father died. In the meantime, he was loved and cared by his grandmother, influenced by the beautiful fairy tales told by her grandmother, and witnessed the quarrel and fight between two uncles for family property and the selfishness and greed shown in the trivial matters of life. This kind of good and evil, love and hate in real life left a deep impression on his young mind. Alesha spent his childhood in this "suffocating and terrible world".

How to be an illustrator

1? I resigned from the state-owned enterprise and gave myself a reason to study illustration.

My major in university was science and engineering, and I resigned after working in the state-owned enterprise for two years. How did I learn illustration this year after I resigned?

It's been a whole year since I started to learn illustration at this time last year. Like most people, when I first started to learn illustration, I also received a lot of obstacles, such as: You start too late now ... It takes a lot of skills to do illustration, but you don't ... All these are true, but they still didn't stop me from starting.

the reason, of course, is love. If you can do what you love, you are really lucky.

Especially now, illustration has been widely used in all walks of life, including startup page, banner, special topic, refresh page, detail page, icon, pop-up frame, background picture, holiday splash screen, expression pack, packaging, vi design, book illustration, and many illustrations, etc. Even now, illustration has become a plus item in ui design. It's so important to know how to illustrate. Even if it's just a hobby, you'll find the whole life better.

two? Others say that it is impossible to learn illustration well with zero foundation! I said, yes, it's simple and not difficult.

this year, many people asked me, can I really learn illustration well without a class or a foundation? Are you really zero-based? My study experience tells me that it is possible! No one is born to illustrate, and all excellent illustrators learn a little, so we can do the same. Moreover, many illustrators are very good at sharing, and I have benefited a lot from it. Although my paintings are still far from them, I am very pleased that I have made rapid progress in sorting out my works this year.

Third, there is no way to teach yourself illustrations, but actually I'm just digging a hole for myself.

When I first started to teach myself illustrations, I knew that I was reading with a book in my arms, or I pulled a bunch of video tutorials from the Internet, but I always felt that I was stuck in learning, and my learning was always messy and my mind was a mess. On the road of self-study, the more I advanced, the harder I worked, and the more I felt the urge to give up.

Later, I asked my college classmate Wang Yurou. After graduating from college, she worked in illustration. She said that now you are not even half full of a bottle, so you have the nerve to play self-study. Even you are dizzy with the most basic concepts. You are not self-studying. You are deceiving yourself. Then Wang Yurou put me into a large-scale learning resource (skirt) with original drawings and illustrations, in which all kinds of video tutorials are very systematic, and every day teachers share relevant knowledge, so I just listen to it every day, not to mention, I really learned illustrations seriously, and my inner doubts were swept away.

many friends have been asking me how to find the large-scale learning resource (skirt) of the original painting and illustration. Let me share it with you. The first set of numbers is: 239, the second set of numbers is: 869, and the last set is: 377. I personally feel that I can have a good learning base to accompany me on the road of learning.

4. You can copy the process of learning illustration, and believe in yourself. You can expect the future

(1) If you want to do something well, you must sharpen your tools first-tools

My common tools include a computer, PS software and wacom hand-drawn board. I use a macbookpro15-inch notebook as the computer. At present, all my illustrations are drawn by PS, which is the most comprehensive software compared with SAI, AI and SKETCH. Hand-drawn board needs some feel, and many friends say that it is not very good, so it is good to practice it several times. Maybe it's because I just don't have a hand-drawn foundation. When I first used the hand-drawn board, I felt it was easy to use. I thought it could be presented in PS after drawing a few times on the board. It was so interesting. I fell in love with the hand-drawn board, so I didn't transition from paper to hand-drawn board when I came into contact with illustration, but I started to use the hand-drawn board directly, and repeatedly checked for missing parts according to the problems I encountered.

(2) Copy-I won't copy it, just copy it first.

Because there is no art foundation, hand-drawing is the most difficult for me. At first, I really couldn't draw it, so I looked for beautiful illustrations to copy from the Internet and chose some simple pictures, such as some plants, a small animal and a small portrait.

(3) Semi-copying-it's boring to imitate, and you have to play tricks after imitating

After copying for about three or four times, you have actually mastered several expressions of board drawing, and you will find that the copied one is still good compared with the original one. Next, I found that it is useless to just copy, because no matter how good the copy is, it is also the achievement of others. You are just imitating, and all you can learn is the expression of the original, that is, some software techniques. If I really want to paint by myself, I have no idea in my mind and I don't know how to write on my hands.

at this time, I began to try semi-copy, that is, to add some of my own ideas on the basis of the original, which is equivalent to adding some of my own hand-drawn ideas to the mastered techniques, and by collecting materials, replacing or modifying what I think is useful into the original picture (by drawing a draft on paper first, then taking photos on the mobile phone and sending it to PS), or changing the original picture composition, etc. In short, the original works are revised according to their own ideas, and these are all works of that stage. For me who has no art foundation, it is very difficult to do this step well. At that time, I felt that it was very difficult to draw anything, and I practiced it in my notebook, but I still felt that I was behind closed doors and my progress was too slow.

I found a set of sketching tutorials from the learning base mentioned by Wang Yurou to make up for the artistic skills that have been mentioned by everyone. At first, I couldn't draw straight lines, so I began to practice drawing straight lines, to shape the geometry, tune it, shape the relationship between light and shade, and so on. By learning sketch, I began to have a systematic understanding of the performance and modeling of light and shadow.

Learn sketch-geometry, still life, landscape, human body structure and sketch. I will apply the knowledge I have learned to my board drawing as much as possible, and gradually feel less laborious, and painting by hand will be better.

(4) originality-learn other people's things and form your own

Next, originality. In fact, originality is not completely conceived out of thin air and then painted, but based on many materials. My method is to collect pictures and photos of what I want to draw on the Internet to find out what I like, and then collect the elements involved in the picture in my mind from different fields and combine them into a picture according to my own ideas. This confirms a sentence: innovation is a new combination of old elements.

In addition, at this stage, I began to study more techniques of board drawing. I often asked the teachers in the learning base for many video tutorials, and then followed the painting. Because there are many styles of illustrations, such as realism, flatness, texture, etc., for me, I like flat and relatively fresh styles, so I analyzed how these illustrations were expressed, what brushes were used, how the graininess was made, and what materials were superimposed. Then I began to summarize these techniques and become my own things, but I can't copy them, but apply them invisibly to form my own style.

5. Don't always want to take shortcuts in learning, but there can be down-to-earth methods.

Learning needs a process and hardships. Don't always think about reaching the top in one step. This is unrealistic. You should be down-to-earth, pay attention to ways and means, show your wisdom in your efforts, and make efforts in your wisdom.

(1) About the software

There is an episode here about the study of PS software, because before I studied illustration, of course, I didn't know what a hand-drawn board was at that time. At that time, I was studying photography, because I liked photography better, and photography would inevitably have to be done later, so I started to learn PS to retouch pictures or make posters. Well, the episode is over, and the real dry goods are here.

I learned PS by reading a book called No Trace of PS. This book is very thick. I started to learn PS just after I resigned in November last year. I read it for almost a month in pieces, but I really studied it very carefully at that time. After graduation, I rarely read a reference book so hard and made various marks. Now I admire myself when I look at it. After reading this book, I really felt proficient in PS at that time, haha. In fact, if you only paint, you don't need to master it. What you use is nothing more than those tools.

(2) About websites

The websites I use the most every day are Station Cool and Petals, with many excellent works on them, which can be used for copying practice. There are also some design competitions on the China of Station Cool and UI. Those who are interested can take part in it. I have participated in the poster design competition and some pattern design competitions, which are all good experiences, mainly because I can learn what kind of ideas and expressions other excellent designers will use under the same topic.

It is also very helpful to make good use of the petal net. Usually, you can collect all your favorite illustrations or materials into the petal net by classification, and you can look at them directly when you use them, which is like a fortune for yourself. I also specially collected a library of my inspiration, which is full of some creative materials I have browsed, and basically there will be a point that I can hardly think of. Then when there is no inspiration, I will go through it and often get some gains.

(3) About books

I used to work in a state-owned enterprise, and the state-owned enterprise really felt like boiling frogs in warm water. Now I think that at that time, I either went to work or did nothing as soon as I got off work. On weekends, I thought about how to amuse myself, where to go shopping, Taobao, and buy all kinds of clothes. My wardrobe was full, but I still had no clothes to wear when the season changed .......

Since I resigned last year, Design, illustration, photography, learning methods, copywriting, operation, quality of life, etc., and some book lists that the teacher of the learning resource base showed me, I personally feel very helpful.

(4) Creation is actually a great accumulation.

reading more works is more promising, which stimulates the creative desire.

More practice means more hand-drawing skills to improve the creative speed.

Remember more is to remember more instantaneous inspiration, and increase creative ideas.

I summarized all the above by myself, I don't know if it's right, but I suddenly found that my summary was quite good, at least neat, like serious nonsense, haha.

I won't talk about it if I read more. It has already written in detail where to go. I won't talk about practicing more. Just practice. I'm not afraid of too much. I'm also practicing continuously.

remember that I want to say something more, because I find that many inspirations are instantaneous. I don't know if you have this feeling. For example, when I was cooking, I suddenly thought that a picture must be drawn, and then I thought, I must write down this idea when I cooked, but when I cooked, I suddenly asked myself, what did I just say I should write down? So no matter what I'm doing or going out, I usually put a small notebook in my bag and write it down as soon as I have an idea, because you may lose it in the next second, which will take you a long time to meet it. Of course, if you have a special function that you can't forget, you can ignore this one.

These are some of my main learning methods, and I hope I can help you. Remember, watch more, practice more and record more! Share my personal route

A long time ago, I went to the China Illustrator Union Forum, where I published my own works. Later, someone contacted me to draw illustrations. In this way, the illustrator slowly embarked on the road of no return _

and later serialized his own cartoons on Tianya, which gradually gained a certain popularity. Now I can finally work from home.

If you want to be an illustrator, whether you are a professional or a part-time job, you must have a basic art background and give priority to your imagination. Many people think that imagination is innate, but I think imagination can be trained. See more, learn more and copy more. Constantly hone your painting skills, publish your works on major websites, communicate with your predecessors, and slowly Bole will discover you ~!

In addition, it is very important that you have enough patience with this job, because it takes a lot of patience to sit still and draw, and it takes a lot of patience to urge the manuscript fee. Hahaha ~! In fact, painting is to understand what the eyes can see with hands and available tools in a scientific way of light and shadow. First of all, we should know that painting is to realize the three-dimensional visual objects in front of us in a two-dimensional picture, so the accuracy of modeling, light and shadow and proportion are very important. This is the first step for us to do training, to exercise the accuracy of eyes and hands, to learn music and to learn dance.
