I have completed 4 illustrations in the Food Illustration Sharing Food Series Illustrations. 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 brushes: hard edge pressure opacity (line drawing), soft color oil crayon (coloring), fine chalk and chalk (projection texture) 2. Sharing ideas for this series of paintings

They are all delicacies, and they are what I like to eat, so when I was drawing something, I didn’t spend too much time and found a lot of related materials. Take 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 I was looking for materials

, try 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. Then I thought about people's daily life.

I think this food is delicious. The first thing I see is the color. The brighter the color of the food, the more people will want to eat it, so I choose high-brightness and high-saturation colors to match, and finally present the

The 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 illustrations, these are

We are all mutual, 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 remember them in your mind. Just have an impression; also

Always carry a small notebook with you to record your inspirations.

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 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 kind of mood can easily put you on the edge of collapse.

, it’s easy to give up on painting, but later I gradually understood that everyone’s starting point and rhythm are different. We only need to compare ourselves with ourselves. As long as there is a little progress compared to yesterday’s self, it is also a great encouragement.

.

The meaning of painting itself is not to compare with others. This process is a process of dialogue with yourself. Being yourself is a rare happiness in life. Finally, I hope to grow up with friends who like painting. If you like it,

Just leave a like on my Weibo: Xuan Xiaoyi How to write an introduction to food illustrations The introduction to food illustrations can be written in beautiful language.

According to the query of relevant public information, the introduction to food illustrations can be written as follows: China is a vast country with abundant resources and a long history of food culture. Due to the influence of geographical environment, climate products, cultural traditions and ethnic customs, different regions have gradually formed their own systems.

Cuisines and eating styles.
