Small illustrations are an essential ornament of cute handbooks, and the feeling of MengMeng makes people shine.

For friends who don't have painting skills, feel at a loss and want to make beautiful handbooks, you can choose to practice from simple strokes ~ A few simple strokes can also draw beautiful patterns ~

When browsing the works of experts in handbooks, you can copy your favorite hand-painted patterns on the picture book as your own material library, which can be used for reference when you are struggling to make handbooks. For the novice hand-painter, you can learn from them.

when copying, don't simply draw patterns, but add your own thoughts, carefully observe each small object and feel their appearance characteristics. You don't have to try to be exactly the same as the original painting, you can innovate in the details.

I drew 2 hand-painted materials below, all of which are small patterns accumulated and copied when reading the works of Handbooks ~

Food, coffee, hamburgers, doughnuts, sushi, ice cream, desserts, sausages, beer, fruits, bread, hot pot, hot dogs

School supplies, lamps, envelopes, scissors, pens, paper airplanes. What materials are needed?

1. How to draw

1. Geometric sketch modeling training.

Let's start with geometry such as cube, circle and combination. Only by understanding geometry can we simplify some complicated things and describe them more easily. It is difficult for students to master the shape, proportion and perspective of geometry at the beginning stage, and it is easy to draw deformation, so they need a lot of practice and comparative study and modification between students.

2. Learn the stick figure.

It is similar to comics, and it is relatively easy to master. In the teaching process, first, the teacher arranges students to draw a relatively simple illustration of characters, and sends some information about the five senses, head, feet and hands to the students for reference. Secondly, during the painting process, students find that the hand is a difficult part to draw. Teachers use the knowledge of human body structure to explain, and use the methods of picture appreciation and painting demonstration to make students understand the structure of joints.

3. Sketch training. Use simple lines to make simple generalization training for character scenes and enrich your own library materials. After these basic trainings, there are difficulties in figure painting, especially in the background or the expression of content. Teachers demonstrate and comment on them one by one, so that students can understand and accept and solve problems faster, and it will be much easier to design and create in the future, thus laying a solid foundation for hand-drawn illustration.

2. Materials

1. Hand-drawn pens: drawing pencils, mechanical pencil, needle pens and signature pens, which are the most commonly used tools when drawing the first draft of design.

2. Drawing instruments: ruler, T-square, curve ruler, tape measure, magnifying ruler, scale, triangle, cutting ruler, universal plotter, compass, etc. Tools for drawing should be accurate, precise and high-quality products, and small errors are good drawing instruments.

3. Coloring tools: palette, dish, pen wash, color label, etc.

4. Hand-painted tools: paper cutter, various art knives and carving knives for engraving, and glue tape.

Extended information:

Illustration is an art form. As an important visual communication form of modern design, it occupies a specific position in modern design with its intuitive image, true sense of life and beautiful appeal. It has been widely used in many fields of modern design, involving cultural activities, social undertakings, commercial activities, film and television culture and so on.

The development of illustration art has a long history. From the world's oldest illustration cave mural to the Japanese folk print Ukiyo-e painting in the Edo era, all of them demonstrate the development of illustration. Illustration first developed with the changes of newspapers and books in the early 19th century.

Its real golden age began in the United States in the 195s and 196s. At that time, the illustrations just separated from art works were obviously painted, and most of the authors engaged in illustrations were professional painters. Later, influenced by the abstract expressionist school, they changed from concrete to abstract. It was not until the 197s that illustrations returned to the realistic style.
