How to draw the food world

The steps to draw the food world are as follows:

1. Line draft: Line draft: Use lines to explain the structure and the angles of various foods. Variety.

2. The coloring must be divided into layers. You can use the before and after relationship to divide the layers. There is no need to separate each food.

3. Distinguish between light and dark: Water pen is more suitable for painting such objects with relatively free fluctuations and painting some light and dark.

4. Shape the volume: Continue to draw light and shade, pay attention to the translucence of the food soaking color at the bottom of the food. In fact, it is the color of the soup that has just been brought over by the translucent pen at the bottom of the food.

5. Detailed description: continue to deepen the color, add coldness to enhance the sense of layering

6. Bright part description: increase the sense of light after superimposing the picture, and mix some yellow and food into the bright parts Warmer colors will give a more high-end feel

7. Highlight: Increase the highlight. The highlight of the soup is the key.

Gourmet food, as the name suggests, is delicious food. The expensive ones include delicacies from mountains and seas, and the cheap ones include street snacks. In fact, there is no distinction between good and bad food. As long as you like it, you can call it food. China is known as the "Culinary Kingdom". In the big family of China, there are fifty-six small families, and each family has its own specialties.

There are expectations before eating food and aftertaste after eating. Enjoying food also depends on the occasion. Only when the occasion is good, the food will taste good. Food culture around the world is extensive and profound, with different nutrients. Taste more food, enjoy more health, and make people eat more happily. Sharing insights on food illustrations

I have completed 4 illustrations in the food series. When I drew them, they were all foods I wanted to eat. Many of the details were rough and the shapes were uneven. Many times, I have absolutely no confidence in my paintings and feel that I have not made any progress. However, a few days ago, these paintings were accidentally recommended to the homepage by the official operation of Maimai. I am very surprised and grateful that my paintings can be recommended by others. Definitely, I am really happy, and I have the motivation to continue painting, so I decided to do a review after finishing each series and share it with my friends who love painting. I also think about where I still have shortcomings. I hope I can Make progress together with friends who like to draw.

1. Painting process

Painting tools: computer PS, hand-drawn tablet

Brush: hard edge pressure opacity (line drawing), soft oil crayon (coloring), fine chalk and chalk (projection texture)

2. Sharing of ideas

This series of paintings are all about food, which is what I like to eat, so what are I painting? I did not spend too much time and found a lot of related materials, taking one of them as an example.

Because the painting was about ramen, I found ramen-related side dishes and some fruits, replaced the elements in the original picture, and then combined and arranged them. The composition of this series is from a top-down perspective. , so when looking for materials, I tried my best to find pictures with the same perspective; for color matching, I found an ice cream color card on the petal website. I thought it was very small and fresh. At first, I absorbed its color, but found that the color was too light, and then I also think that when people find this food delicious in daily life, the first thing they see is the color. The brighter the color of the food, the more people will want to eat it, so I chose colors with high brightness and high saturation. After matching, the final effect is not bad.

The few elements to complete an illustration are nothing more than: composition reference, character or object reference, color matching reference, plus your own understanding and control of the picture, which is the reference of technique. In the illustration, these are all mutually exclusive, and every step must be taken seriously.

3. Personal insights

Drawing illustrations is often closely related to our lives. Many references come from our lives. Observe the things around you and draw them. Just keep it in your mind and have an impression; also bring a small notebook with you at all times to record your inspiration. Since I started working as a full-time illustrator, when I pass by a good-looking store or flower shop, I will subconsciously think about their decoration style, color matching, placement of objects, etc., so that I can have a deep understanding of the things around me. You can also exercise your thinking, observe life, and observe the world. You will re-examine your relationship with the world, and then find your own illustration language.

When I first started learning illustration, I would always go into blind alleys unconsciously. When I saw other people’s paintings well, I would always compare them and wonder why I didn’t make any progress? This feeling is very disturbing. It’s easy to put yourself on the edge of collapse, and it’s easy to give up on painting. Later, I gradually understood that everyone’s starting point and rhythm are different. We only need to compare ourselves with ourselves, as long as we are a little better than ourselves yesterday. , which is also a great encouragement.

The meaning of painting itself is not to compare with others. This process is a process of dialogue with oneself. Being yourself is a rare happiness in life

Finally, I hope to be able to work with friends who like painting. Grow together, if you like it, please leave a like

My Weibo: How Xuan Xiaoyi draws the world of food

The bed is wet, what is it? Is my mouth watering, or is it?

When I woke up, I came to the food world of my dreams! The food elf drove a car made of bread to pick me up and visit this food world.

I came to the Chocolate Stream first. There was a lollipop growing by the stream. I picked it and took a bite. Wow! It’s so sweet! I said to the elf: “Let’s have a picnic here!” The elf replied: “Of course!” We used cheese slices as picnic cloths. , drink chocolate water when you are thirsty, and eat a lollipop when you are hungry. After a full meal, I set off towards the cone forest.

Along the way, the birds sang for us, the dewdrops exchanged glances with us, and the flowers opened their smiles for us. We greeted them warmly, as if we were integrated with the food world.

Walking into the cone forest, I found that the tall cone trees exuded a sweet smell, and then I followed the charming aroma to the top of the trees. I ate these cone trees one by one, but they grew again in an instant. I asked the elf: "Why can the trees in this forest grow indefinitely?" The elf replied: "Because this land is sacred!"

After visiting the forest, we went to the food castle. Pushing open the door of the castle, the aroma is fragrant, and a lot of delicious food comes into view. "Let's eat!" We started eating with big mouthfuls. "I have never eaten such delicious food!" I kept eating and didn't notice any changes in my body. After a while, I turned into a meat ball weighing a hundred tons. I was so scared that I fainted and fell to the ground. The elf called me anxiously: "Wake up! Wake up."

When I opened my eyes and realized that it was a dream, and now my mother was telling me to go to school.

However, this dream tells us: Although the food is good, you can’t eat too much!
