Sharing of insights into 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 pretty good.

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

The proposal report mainly includes the following aspects:

(1) Paper title

The name of the paper is the name of the topic

First, the name must be accurate and standardized. Accuracy means that the name of the paper must clearly explain what the research problem of the paper is and what the object of the research is. The name of the paper must be consistent with the content of the research. It cannot be too big or too small. It must accurately describe what you are researching. Objects and problems are summarized.

The purpose and significance of the research are why it should be studied and what value it has. This can generally be discussed from the perspective of practical needs, pointing out that this problem exists in reality, needs to be studied and solved, what is the practical effect of the research of this paper, and then the theoretical and academic value of the paper are written. These must be written in a specific and targeted manner, and cannot be just slogans in vain. The main contents include: ⑴Relevant background of the research (proposal of the topic): that is, what is the basis and inspiration for conducting this research. ⑵ By analyzing the actual education and teaching practices of the local (school), point out why the topic should be studied, the value of the research, and the problems to be solved.

(3) The history and current situation of research on this paper at home and abroad (literature review).

It should be more standardized. If it is a small topic, it can be omitted. Generally, it includes: grasping the breadth, depth and achieved results of its research; looking for problems that need further research, so as to determine the platform (starting point) of the research on this topic, the characteristics or breakthrough points of the research.

When determining the goal of writing a thesis, on the one hand, you must consider the requirements of the topic itself, and on the other hand, you must consider the actual working conditions and work level.

(6) Basic content of the paper

The research content should be more specific and clear. And a goal may be achieved through several aspects of research content, and they are not necessarily in a one-to-one correspondence.

The main steps and time arrangement of the project research include: which stages the entire research is to be divided into; the start and end times of each stage. I hope this can help you.

How to write a project proposal report?

First of all, we must sort out the information collected during the preparation work, including the name of the project, the content of the project, the theoretical basis of the project, participants, and organizational arrangements And division of labor, approximate time required, estimate of funds, etc.

The first is the formulation of the title. The topic has been established during the preparation work, so the title of the proposal report is not a problem. Just write the topic of your research directly. For example, I once guided a group of students to conduct research on the culture of Lunjiao, such as "Lunjiao cakes", Lunjiao woodworking machinery, Lunjiao cultural relics, etc. The title was "Research on Lunjiao Culture".

The second is content writing. The main contents of the project proposal report include the following parts:

1. Background of the project research. The so-called background of the topic mainly refers to why this topic should be studied, so some topics simply call this part "raising the problem", which means why this question should be raised, or this topic should be raised. For example, a topic I once directed, "Research on the Culture of Ethics", the background section explains that during the wave of reform and opening up, Lunjiao, as a corner of the Pearl River Delta, is experiencing rapid economic development, and what are its cultural developments? Achievements, what impact they have on residents, and what needs to be improved. Of course, there are many things described in the background, which can be either social background or natural background. The key lies in what topic we identify.

2. Content of the research. The content of the project research, as the name suggests, is what our project is going to study. For example, the subject "Foshan's New Eight Scenic Spots" guided by our school's teacher Huang Shu, the content of the research is: "Focusing on the New Eight Scenic Spots of Foshan, examine the yesterday, today, and tomorrow of Foshan's historical and cultural deposits, and combine it with the trend of Foshan's economic development to formulate a Feasibility report and development plan for developing cultural tourism with new Foshan, new eight scenic spots, and new atmosphere."

3. The purpose and significance of the research.

The purpose of the research should describe the situation you want to achieve or the results you want to obtain in this research. For example, the research project "Revisiting the Long March" directed by our school's teacher Ye Shaozhen is described in the research objectives column:

1. By recreating the Long March, recalling the great achievements of the Red Army soldiers, and understanding the Long March. Overview, the difficulties and obstacles encountered during the Long March, and what is the spirit of the Long March, so as to have a deeper understanding and understanding.

2. Cultivate the spirit of cooperation and participation and the ability of self-presentation through division of labor, communication, display, and explanation among group students.

3. Through this activity, students’ information technology will be improved and their information literacy will be further improved.

4. Research methods.

In the "Project Research Methods" section, the research group's methods or procedures for solving the problems of this project should be proposed. Generally speaking, the topic research methods of research-based learning include: field investigation method (a method of drawing conclusions by organizing students to conduct field investigations at the place being studied), questionnaire method (based on the situation of the topic and what they want to know) The method of setting some questions about the content and investigating relevant personnel in the form of questionnaires), the personal interview method (the method of directly interviewing relevant personnel to grasp first-hand materials), the literature method (by consulting various materials, charts, etc., Analyze, compare and draw conclusions), etc. In the subject research, you should put forward relevant subject research methods according to the actual situation of your own subject. It does not have to be exhaustive, as long as it is practical.

5. Steps of project research.

The steps of the project research, of course, refer to the steps this project is going to take to achieve the purpose of the research. Therefore, the issue that should be focused on in this part is how many steps you are going to complete your project. Generally speaking, the basic steps of project research are nothing more than the following aspects: preparation stage, data review stage, field investigation stage, questionnaire survey stage, interview stage, data analysis and organization stage, summary and reflection stage on this topic, etc.

6. Project participants and organizational division of labor.

This belongs to the management category of this research, but it cannot be ignored. Because management is not in place, students cannot clarify their responsibilities, sometimes they will be lazy or pass the blame to each other, and sometimes they will do repetitive work. Therefore, organizational division of labor among project participants is indispensable. It is best to divide all the students participating in the research into several groups, and each group elects a group leader through democratic elections. The group leader is responsible for the assignment and implementation of the group's tasks. Then according to the situation of this topic, the relevant research tasks are divided into several parts, and one group is responsible for one part. Finally, the group leader organizes the personnel to summarize and organize.

7. Funding estimate for the project.

To carry out a project, some funds will be needed to start it. Therefore, in the end, you should roughly estimate the funds required for this project, such as how much money is needed to collect information, outgoing expenses for field surveys, and questionnaires. The cost of printing and distributing the survey, the space fee occupied by the research team, some topics also need to purchase some related materials, the printing fee of the final report and other materials, etc. As the saying goes, "before the army moves, food and grass go first." Without sufficient funds to back it up, the research project is bound to be difficult, stretched, or even abandoned halfway. Therefore, the funding for the project must be estimated at the beginning of the project, and preparations can be made in order to truly achieve the best research on this project.
