1. What tools and materials should be prepared for basic hand-drawing with colored pencils

Colored pencils: Beginners are advised to choose 24 colors with fewer colors. For beginners, unless they have relevant Books with more colors, such as 36-color and 48-color pencils, are difficult to master, so you have to be very careful when choosing colors.

Pencil: Mainly used for drafting, either wooden pencil or mechanical pencil can be used. The lines drawn by wooden pencils are more variable, while the lines drawn by mechanical pencils are more stable.

Eraser: It is recommended to have at least two kinds of erasers, 4b art eraser and plastic eraser. 4b erasers can be purchased in stationery stores because they are relatively soft and will not damage the paper when wiped. They are easy to use after wiping clean. The plastic eraser is very useful for lightening the lines of line drawings or overly colored areas when drawing.

Paper: You can purchase sketch paper or professional colored pencil paper as needed. Although you can draw on ordinary A4 printing paper, because the paper is thin, it is easy to wrinkle or scratch, which affects the painting effect.

Reference books: If you have no foundation at all, it is necessary to follow a reliable book. Personally recommend Feileniao's "Introduction to Colored Pencils, One Book Is Enough"

2. How about hand-drawn drawings based on the warm life of colored pencils

From what I saw in "Grandpa" After reading the two picture books "Become a Ghost" and "My Father's Name is Johnny", I fell hopelessly in love with colored pencil drawings.

I like the soft tones very much. It seems that only the colors reflected by such a material are the most suitable for expressing the most delicate and vivid emotions between people; I also like the lines, look at them. The lines seem casual and simple, but they clearly have a touchable texture. The gentle and peaceful atmosphere is rendered to the extreme by colored pencils.

I have always liked painting, and I even signed up for a Chinese painting class with my son in the summer. However, Peony only took it for a while and finally gave up halfway because she really didn’t have the time to stick to the class. But even though the things I drew were not very good, my heart that loves painting has always been full of enthusiasm, haha.

When I saw this book "Basic Freehand Drawing", I really felt like "all my wishes came true", and I couldn't help but believe what was said in "The Secret". The reason why it can be called "Basic Hand Drawing" is that it should be an introductory chapter on colored pencil drawing. This is just right for a novice like me who loves "painting".

As a "rookie", you should focus on reading the first chapter "HELLO, colored pencils" and the second chapter "First experience of hand-drawing". The first chapter introduces us to some essential tools for drawing with colored pencils, such as the selection of various pencils, erasers, pencil sharpeners and various auxiliary tools.

Of course, colored pencil drawings do not have high requirements for drawing paper. Almost any kind of paper will do. However, various papers are suitable for different styles of colored pencils. This must be understood. . In addition, colored pencils also have color matching. To draw the way we like, we must know how to adjust the color that best expresses our mood.

The first chapter is about the basic knowledge of colored pencil drawing. After you are sure that you have mastered these and have prepared the basic materials according to the not complicated requirements, then boldly open the second chapter - — Chapter 2 is the beginning of real learning of pencil drawing. Those who have a little basic knowledge of painting should know a series of special terms for painting such as "highlight", "border line between light and dark", "dark part", "reflection", "projection"... etc. There may be many people like me. When you see these highly professional things, you almost have to give up. But if you read the content and illustrations patiently, you will find that it is not as difficult as we thought.

If you are a person who is willing to practice, you can even pick up the pen and give it a try right away. Maybe you can give yourself a big surprise! To be honest, after reading Chapter 2, I think I need to take a good look at my son's "Simple Drawings", because I feel that after reading the "Simple Drawings" of those basic graphics, I can be more free-spirited. If you think carefully about the first two chapters and put them into practice and feel good about it, then follow the author to draw food, clothes, landscapes, pets, friends, or even draw your own picture books... that's all Just thinking about it makes me happy.

3. How about colored pencils from entry to master

I read this book with my nephew who has just entered the first grade of elementary school. To be precise, we are on the same side. Looking at the drawings, it was like a competition. The two of them happily imitated the illustrations in the book and drew one after another. He continued to gain unprecedented creative glory, and I seemed to have returned to the rare and wonderful time of doodling in my childhood. The afternoon passed quickly, and we didn't feel tired at all.

My nephew is a naughty child who loves to draw. Even if he occasionally picks up a stone while walking on the road, he never forgets to squat on the ground and paint it seriously. I think this book "Colored Pencil Drawing" "From Beginner to Mastery" should be prepared for children like him. First of all, it is interesting. The whole book is presented with pictures and simple text descriptions, which greatly increases the interest of reading and makes it difficult to concentrate. The little naughty one can't help but be attracted by those colorful pictures; secondly, the content of this book is very rich, it can be said that it covers everything from choosing brushes and paper, how to sharpen and hold brushes, to fresh fruits, Cute animals and plants, delicious cakes, and beautiful life scenes are all covered very comprehensively. Helping children discover the endless fun in the process of painting creation, and then providing guidance on how to master the correct basic knowledge of painting such as brush operation and coloring, this is my biggest feeling after reading it. To be honest, "Colored Pencil Drawing from Beginner to "Mastery" is the best choice for children to learn about painting and learn pencil drawing.

But to say he is proficient is an overstatement.

4. How to draw light and shade with colored pencils? Have you ever learned sketching or something? Don’t be too professional, just make it easy to understand. 1. Characteristics of colored pencil drawings: convenient tools, suitable for graffiti, and pictures. It is highly decorative and popular, especially among teenagers.

2. Shape: Shape is the soul of the picture. In order to express a theme in some paintings, it must be reflected through shape. In fact, I don’t control the shape very well when painting, and I feel conflicted. If it is too realistic, it will not be easy to achieve due to the constraints of tools such as pencils, and it will always seem thankless. The drawing is very laborious, but the effect may not be the same as our imagination. In this way, the shaping of the shape should change. The characters can be cartoonish, but not too much. They must have a certain degree. This degree can only be explored slowly in practice. 3. Use of color: not too much. A painting should have a main color. Based on the main color, the colors can be enriched. After the picture is basically completed, some environmental colors can be painted in each large color block. , the dark parts can be warm colors, the bright parts are usually painted with cool colors, and sometimes some reflective colors can be painted, and the colors can be stronger.

4. Use pens: Colored pencil drawings are more decorative, so the brushwork is more particular than sketching. Because colored pencils use relatively thin lines to express shapes, the pens must be used regularly. Make the pictures unified and beautiful. In addition to the commonly used line arrangement methods in sketching, I often use the following highly decorative brushwork methods.

(1) Overlapping lines: According to the rules of light and shade, use neat lines to depict the shape on the shape, the same as the technique of sketching. (2) Line arrangement: The technique is similar to that of line arrangement, except that the lines are shorter and heavier during the painting process to highlight the decorative nature.

(3) Dotted lines: relatively short decorative lines, mainly used to decorate the picture after the shape and picture are basically completed. (4) Circular scroll line: Continuous scrolls, superimposed layer by layer and pay attention to the weight of the pen. According to the change of light, use a heavier pen for dark parts and a lighter pen for bright parts. The effect after painting will be thicker. If there are many overlays, use The effect of more colors is more obvious.

(5) Van Gogh's line: similar to the brushwork method used in some of Van Gogh's paintings. It is a spiritual line, centered on the main shape, spreading out layer by layer like a sun halo. (6) Fence lines: Mainly used for background decoration, similar to the brush method used to draw fences in Chinese paintings. Arrange about 5 to 8 shorter lines into small planes, use these small planes to cover the decorative surface, and pay attention to the use of the corresponding lines. Lines on adjacent planes are perpendicular to each other.

(7) Rain silk thread: It is also often used for background decoration. The effect is somewhat like drizzle falling from the sky. The drawing method is to draw short diagonal lines on a background with a relatively uniform color. The angle can be 30~ Between 65 degrees, it is mainly suitable for easy drawing, similar to the style of children's illustrator Jimmy. A better example of this is the colored pencil drawings of British painter Yvonne Gilbert. The backgrounds of her paintings are often decorated with these lines. (8) Cross lines: This kind of thread is very decorative, a bit like cross stitch. To put it bluntly, you use 2 strokes to draw a cross, and cover the decorative surface with these small crosses. You can also use this kind of number and strokes. The weight of the object is used to express the lightness and darkness of the object.

Light and shading Light and shading are an important factor in creating picture effects and are also a major aspect of painting expression. The production of light and shade comes from two factors: light and changes in object structure.

Different light angles and different structural changes will bring different light and dark effects. Light gives objects light and dark, and we use the light and dark of the picture to express space, volume, structure, and at the same time a sense of light.

Light in real life is often complex and changeable, and we need a stable light source in sketch training to facilitate observation and in-depth study of the laws of light and light and shade changes, and to cultivate clear light awareness. . Common light angles generally include top light, side light, backlight, forward light, etc. In daily training, you should be aware of these light changes, so that you can actively grasp the picture even in poor light conditions. Light and light and dark.

The main laws of light and shade changes are the "three major aspects" and the "five major tones".

The "three major surfaces" are the basic relationship between black, white and gray of an object. The difference in the angle of light received by an object directly reflects the changes in black, white and gray. The light received is "white", the backlight is "black", and the side light is "gray".

Of course, subtle changes in the structure of the object will be directly reflected in multiple levels of black, white and gray. The "five major tones" are the basic changes of objects from the light-receiving surface to the back-lit surface.

The five major tones include highlights, bright grey, the boundary between light and dark, shadows and reflections. Among them, the junction line between light and dark is the turning line between light and backlight, which is the most important part of the change in light and dark.

The boundary line between light and dark and the contour line are the two lifelines of physical expression. The dark part is slightly darker than the boundary between light and dark. It should be breathable in the performance. There will be some reflection in the dark part far away from the boundary. In the performance, be careful not to be too bright.

Gray parts and dark parts must maintain a certain contrast scale and not be confused.

5. Does color pencil drawing require a sketch or other foundation?

1. Color pencil drawing requires a sketch and color foundation in order to draw decent exercises, otherwise it can only It's graffiti.

2. Expand knowledge

1. Sketch, in a broad sense, refers to all monochrome paintings and originated from the cultivation of Western modeling abilities. Sketching in a narrow sense refers specifically to the painting training process used to learn art skills, explore modeling rules, and develop professional habits.

In short, it is a monochrome painting. But not necessarily. After all, sketching covers and involves too many things and solves too many problems. The sketching process is a comprehensive thinking activity that requires consideration of many issues at the same time. Today, all majors in art academies take it as a basic course. Although the emphasis of each major is different, oil painting emphasizes volume and tone, Chinese painting emphasizes lines, printmaking and design emphasize structure, etc.; but the essence of sketching is almost the same. At the same time, sketch, as an independent art category, has its own unique artistic value.

2. Color science is the science that studies the rules of color production, acceptance and application. Because shape and color are the two major elements of object images and artistic images, color science is the primary and basic topic of art theory. It is based on optics and involves subjects such as psychophysics, physiology, psychology, aesthetics and art theory. In the history of color application, the decorative function appeared before the reproduction function. The study of color science only began in the 19th century. It is based on the development of optics. Newton's solar-prism refraction experiment and Kepler's modern experimental optics provided scientific basis for color science, while psychophysics solved the visual mechanism. Reflection of light problem.
