Minimalist and abstract color art-flat style illustration art, or aesthetic things, are mostly related to all aspects of the times. It would be biased to roughly attribute the reason of flat popularity to people's favor for simple and clear expression style in the information explosion era. In fact, the APPlication of web pages and app screens has definitely promoted the popularity of flat style illustrations. Visually simple and clean, vector format makes it very small, so flat style is widely used in our lives. Flattening does not restore the true colors of things, it only refines the characteristics of things, and shows things straightforwardly with concise and general shapes. As mentioned earlier, information explosion is not the main reason for the popularity of flat style, but then again, with more and more picture information accepted by people's brains every day, it is also an excellent choice to use the most straightforward graphics with bright and crisp colors to convey information. The shapes extracted from the spliced graphic flat wind illustrations are mostly geometric shapes. Although a single geometric figure is easy to use and control, the effect presented is relatively rigid and lacks aura. In the actual creative process, in order to increase the vividness and interest of the picture, three or four geometric figures are often used to splice and combine, with one geometric figure as the main constituent element, and the remaining geometric figures are similar to the main constituent elements in shape. Such splicing and combining can not only ensure the primary and secondary order of the picture structure, but also produce smart changes in unity. Bright solid color Generally speaking, simplified modeling is more suitable to be represented by flat painted solid color blocks, so as to keep the balance between modeling and color and create a clean and strict visual level. And because the shape is flat, the color matching is suitable for matching with strong contrast solid colors, so that bright color contrast supports rapid visual perception, creates visual tension and makes up for the thinness of the shape. The unified angle flat illustration has always done subtraction in the modeling of things, and even the pure flat style belongs to a kind of expression technique that completely abandons the perspective language. Therefore, we should pay attention to the unification of angles when drawing flat illustrations, which is also a practical skill to simplify modeling. Relatively speaking, there is no difficult technical content in an illustration work with flat style, and there are only a few points to master: block the whole object and every detail; Pay attention to the hierarchical relationship between blocks, that is, the relationship between front and back occlusion and the relationship between inclusion and inclusion; The edges should be neat and tidy, and attention should be paid to details. Besides, just be more patient. 2 Minimalist Hand-painted Materials for Beautifying Handbooks | The first small illustration is an indispensable ornament for cute handbooks, and the feeling of MengMeng makes people shine.
