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. Not even. 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, I would subconsciously think about their decoration style, color matching, placement of objects, etc. when I pass by a good-looking storefront or flower shop, 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 unknowingly lead myself into a dead end. When I saw other people’s good drawings, 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 up together, if you like it, please leave a like

The new issue of Yanyuan Atlas is with you again

This This issue brings you food sketches by Japanese illustrator Moko

The biggest feature of editorial food works is that you are getting hungrier

Visual stimulation causes the secretion of digestive juices

p>

Then it is transmitted to the brain, and the instant hunger is spread to every cell

Back to the topic, the biggest feature of Japanese cuisine is its exquisiteness

The preparation process of the cuisine is quite Artistic

With the rapid development of the Internet

The communication methods of the catering industry

are not limited to traditional physical photos or videos

< p>All kinds of food experts have also emerged

Gourmet sketches are definitely the most powerful among all kinds of food experts

Their works often do not pursue the ultimate in sophistication

But use the shortest time to quickly record the most attractive aspects of food

The effect is often more stimulating to people's appetite than physical photos

And the emergence of hand ledgers

Provides a convenient carrier for artists who are committed to food sketches

Food and sex are the same, and human beings’ pursuit of food is innate and unstoppable

You can also carry a notebook with you

Record the shops you have been to and the delicacies you have eaten

These are our sweet lives

The so-called taste of articles

is the same as the taste of art, the taste of food, etc.

So tasting food is also a way to get close to art

For everyone For most foodies

a food diary is more preferred. There are many ways to love food

Another way to record our favorite food

I’m afraid only food

is the thing that we can keep recording every day

Whether it’s having afternoon tea with our best friends

or going out to travel and eat delicious food. Carry this little notebook with you

Write food reviews and draw food guide maps

Paste bills, paper cups and even napkins provided by the restaurant

It’s not fun What a joy!

If you want to make a beautiful handbook, you must have a talent for painting

Draw realistic close-ups of food and draw delicate eating scenes

< p>The so-called foodie has a hint of cunning deep in the soul

It is the hunger that can be satisfied by drawing cakes and the thirst that can be quenched by looking at plum blossoms

The life we ??love is always far away

Really greedy food is always in the picture album

From food to baking, cooking, travel

Like everything related to beauty

True Foodies are beyond the level of "big bowls and hot kangs"

It is a metaphysics of eating

There is a very literary saying that goes like this:

Because of a person, falling in love with a city

And for foodies, it means:

Because of a piece of meat, I want to go to a city

Mr. Bernard Shaw said : “The love for food is the most sincere love of mankind.

”

I deeply agree with this

For most people, life is more of the same.

It is precisely because of this that we I have to keep looking for things that can make it more interesting

For me, eating and recording life

makes me happy Two magic weapons to double your senses

Food makes people happy, and journals make people think

When the two are combined, there will be a wonderful chemical reaction

Being able to eat the food you like makes you very happy

Not to mention cooking with the people you like

Food is a constant theme in life

p>

A snack or a chat among friends

The feeling of being immersed in a delicious world

It always makes people stand up and live a brave life Home

You can eat well alone

Don’t be afraid of loneliness, be strong and optimistic

Keep your small living space in order

< p>All these beautiful moments

should be recorded in writing

The word handbook originated from Japan

In Japan, no matter men, women, old or young< /p>

I always carry a notebook called a "notebook" with me

Check it out anytime and anywhere

Record every detail of my life

< p>A notebook is a portable notepad with a specific layout

But it is much more than just a notebook

A small notebook filled with the joy of life

Write down your mood at this moment above

Enjoy the pleasure of delicious food with your friends

Capture the undiscovered beauty in life

And then There is a sense of satisfaction in putting the fun into writing and holding it in your hand

Presenting the delicious food in a static way

Paving more space for imagination and aftertaste

When words encounter delicious food, write about the deliciousness one stroke at a time

Record the beauty bit by bit

Whether it has been planned for a long time or just leave

Go to a stranger Traveling in the city always has a bit of adventure

Different travel scenery is recorded in the handbook

Every time you travel to a city, local food is a must-visit place

Enjoy the wonderful taste slowly

The sense of alienation from the unfamiliar city is recorded

Eliminating in the invisible

The handbook is our loyalty Listeners

Use words to preserve the delicious taste of the ingredients themselves. The collision between the lines

Bring the distance between hearts

Appreciate the simplicity brought by writing. It depicts the taste of life while being emotional

Painting is a very happy thing

You can use your paintings to bring happiness to others

From any angle It is a beautiful thing to see

The so-called happiness is probably the persistence and perseverance in ordinary life

There are many words about food in newspapers and periodicals, but never Too much

Tasty is something to be proud of

Because this is the most basic art of living

Only love and food cannot be let down< /p>

Food points to the stomach, emotions point to the heart and happiness

It is a wonderful memory from the stomach to the heart

Recording every moment of life

The accumulated time in the past can be looked back at one day

It is the most beautiful collection

There are many joys in life, I hope that all of you who see this album will enjoy it

You can discover and enjoy it

Writing is also a way of life

Write down what you want to eat, what you have eaten, and what you are eating

>

The life of such a foodie will be more interesting

and are already hungry and growling

< p>Forgive me, after all, I am hungry too
