How to draw the wall illustration of Mr. Shuhuyin
The painting method of the wall illustration of Mr. Shuhuyin is as follows:
1. First draw the thatched house on the left end of the screen , there are tall trees above the house, and beautiful flowers, plants and hard stones on the right side of the house.
2. Draw crops in front of the house, draw water flow on the right side of the crops, and draw grassland on the right side of the water flow to enrich the picture.
3. Draw high altitude at the top of the picture. The high mountains have a feeling of stacked peaks, so the line drawing of the poem and painting is completed.
4. Start coloring. The top background of the picture is painted with blue, the plants and mountains are painted with green, the water flow is painted with blue, the houses and land are painted with different colors, and write poems in the blank spaces. This simple and beautiful painting of Mr. Shu Huyin's wall poem is completed.
Shu Huyin's Wall, author: Wang Anshi (Song Dynasty)
The eaves are long and swept clean without moss, and the flowers and trees are planted by hand. A river of water protects the fields and surrounds them with green, and two mountains with rows of gates bring in green.
Translation of "Mr. Shu Hu Yin's Wall": The courtyard of the thatched house is often cleaned, and it is so clean that there is no trace of moss. Flowers, plants and trees are arranged in rows and ridges, all planted by the owner himself. A small river outside the courtyard protects and surrounds the farmland; two mountains open the door to bring green to people.
Appreciation of "Books on the Wall of Mr. Huyin": These two poems were inscribed on the wall of Mr. Huyin's house, the first of which is very famous. The allusion in this poem is very subtle. Readers who do not know the content of the allusion do not hinder their understanding of the main idea of ??the poem. However, the profound meaning and interest of the poem require understanding the source of the allusion in order to understand it more deeply.
The first two sentences of the first poem describe the scenery of the Yang family courtyard. The first sentence describes the cleanliness of the courtyard, and the second sentence describes the beauty of the courtyard. The last two sentences describe the natural environment around Yang's house. This poem describes the beauty of Mr. Huyin's courtyard and environment, and also praises Mr. Huyin's good character and noble taste for his love of hard work, cleanliness, flowers and natural landscapes.

Illustration creation is inseparable from the elements of plants, animals, characters, and still life. They are like the words that need to be mastered before learning to write an article, or the words that need to be mastered before learning a foreign language. If you want to create a complete illustration with the accumulated words, the mastery of these elements plays a decisive role. Let me share with you the drawing techniques of the four major elements of plants, animals, characters and still life:
1. Drawing of plants
Plants in nature are all kinds of strange and have different shapes. But looking at the illustrations, they are actually nothing more than a few large basic shapes. Taking the pine tree as an example, the needles of the pine tree are centered on a point and radiate outward, eventually forming a fan-shaped outline. In flower arrangements, we can use the fan shape to summarize it.
So, if we want to draw a lifelike pine tree, our first step is to start by drawing a fan shape. However, it should be noted that since it is an abstract creation, it must not completely copy all the structures seen. Artistic processing must be carried out during the drawing process, and the conventional fan shape must be transformed to make it have artistic beauty, such as stretching the fan shape Long, erasing sharp corners, and using an eraser to create some missing corners are all good creative techniques.
When it comes to coloring, you should also pay attention to the difference between illustrations and food. The pine leaves we see in real life are often of one color and lush, but in illustrations, they are never the same. You can paint like this. The colors need to be chosen in the same color system, but there must be a combination of shades and excess. Only in this way will the illustration have a sense of hierarchy.
The same is true when drawing tree trunks. Maybe the physical picture we refer to is a straight tree trunk, but when we draw, we can properly draw the trunk into a curved, graceful, and more artistically beautiful shape. , such changes will make the shape of the entire tree more tense and appealing.
2. Drawing of animals
Animal illustrations are the most common subject matter. They are most widely used in picture books and children’s books. Compared with the sparse and ordinary real-life photos, Pictures, vivid and interesting illustrations of animals can more arouse children's interest in reading, because whether as the theme of the picture or as an auxiliary element, animal illustrations can enhance the affinity of the picture and make readers feel more intimate.
Try to imagine that when a child opens a picture book, it is more pleasing to see a real fish with scales, or is it easier for the child to immerse himself in colorful and cute illustrations of small fish? What? If you think about it with your toes, the illustrated version must be the winner! (Popular science books will talk about it separately, and this is not the same discussion)
Let’s take a look at how to draw an illustrated version of a small fish. Let’s do it:
First observe the shape of the real fish. It is not difficult to find that the fish’s body structure is fusiform with a wide middle and pointed ends.
Then we can start drawing. First find the fusiform shape in the toolbar, draw a fusiform shape, and then adjust it to what you want. You can make it flatter or rounder.
Then based on this adjusted fusiform shape, eyes, mouth, fins, fish scales, etc. are added. Just like the fusiform body, these elements can also be exaggerated and deformed, as long as the aesthetics are taken into consideration. All OK.
The requirements for color matching are similar to those of plants, mainly the gradient of color, the filling of saturation, etc. However, the difference with plants is that the eyes of animals are the essence, and the eyes of smart illustrations must be able to Talking, so don’t forget to deepen the color above the eyeballs, draw pupils, white highlights and a little reflection in the middle of the eyes to achieve a visual effect that makes the illustration come to life.
3. Character Drawing
Speaking of character drawing, this is the part I am most concerned about at the moment. Unlike traditional painting, which requires rigorous structure and modeling, illustrations pay more attention to the personality and interest of the picture, and the same goes for character modeling.
First draw a square, then cut out a circular head outline inside the square (a circle can be adjusted appropriately), and then draw a cross reference line inside the circle, through this reference line , we can easily determine the height of the eyes, the position of the nose, and also ensure that both sides of the head are roughly symmetrical.
After completing the above steps, you can fill in the eyes, nose, mouth and other facial features of the character. Finally, through different hairstyles, this character can evolve into a naughty little boy, a cute little girl, or a drooling baby...
Picture This is the case for young children. In fact, when it comes to drawing adult women, men, and the elderly, the process is very similar. The steps are the same. Mainly by adjusting the outline of the head, modifying the facial features and hairstyle, you can transform into different shapes of men, women, old and young. For beauties, you can add lipstick color and exquisite hairstyle; for working elites, you can add suits and glasses; for old people, you can add sparse hair and gray color in the picture...
< p>The male body can use the quadrilateral as the basis and then adjust it; the female body is more graceful than the male body. A simple quadrilateral is not enough to summarize the female curve, so we can make the shoulders and waist within the rectangular outline. Proper bevel cutting.After understanding and mastering these basic general steps about human body structure, we can boldly add exaggerated deformations based on normal human body proportions to create more interesting characters!
4. Still life drawing and creative extension
Still life refers to some common furnishings, ornaments, or anything that does not move in nature, such as stones and houses. , conches on the beach, etc. A complete illustration often requires these still lifes as the background, so how to draw still life well is also crucial.
Take conch as an example. Conch is a common gadget we find on the beach. It is small and has different shapes, colors and patterns. The seemingly inconspicuous conch can completely evolve into a fantasy-style architectural scene on the seabed under the illustrator's pen. (If you want to construct a story about underwater creatures, this will be a great background)
Similarly, first draw the structure of a conch, then add doors, windows, decorations, etc., and finally Color it to finally achieve the effect of a fantasy scene. (This paragraph cannot be expressed clearly in words, it is more intuitive for everyone to look at pictures)
I hope it can provide some help to illustration enthusiasts and eventually create their own illustrations. How to draw good watercolor illustrations?
When doing watercolor and gouache paintings, just like other paintings, you must pay attention to the methods and steps, from the whole to the part, and from the part back to the whole, so that the work can gradually reach depth and perfection. Generally, it goes through five stages, namely layout, sketch, coloring, in-depth characterization, and adjustment. In the order of coloring, it is generally better to start with the color of a large area or the main objects in the picture. This is beneficial to determining the tone of a picture and maintaining the correct general relationship of the whole painting. Some authors are accustomed to starting with light colors or starting with darker parts like oil paintings. Each has its own strengths and should be decided according to the specific situation and personal painting habits. Pay attention to planning when coloring. For example, a certain part of the picture needs to be colored when the base color is still wet, and another part must be added after the base color is completely dry before applying other colors. This must be done step by step with a plan in mind. , This is very helpful for depicting different characteristics of objects and expressing the sense of space and quality of objects.
The techniques of watercolor and gouache painting are relatively diverse, but they are generally divided into two types: dry painting and wet painting. The so-called dry painting means using less water. It does not mean using only dry paint without adding water. When painting, you need to wait for the previous layer of color to dry before applying the second layer of color. The two-layer color has clearer boundaries, so it is also called multi-layer painting. The dry painting method should strive to be sure and accurate in order to express clear shapes and various levels and decent turning relationships. What should be noted in the dry painting method is: do not rush to cover when the background color is not dry to prevent the background color from spreading; and the number of color coverings should not be too many. Covering too much or the color is piled too thick will make the color gray and gray. Becoming greasy.
The dry painting method is not subject to time constraints, making it easy to paint calmly and easy to master. It is very helpful for beginners to exercise strict modeling abilities. However, the dry painting method is not easy to bring out the flowing characteristics of water color. If it is not used properly, it will cause dryness, stiffness and other shortcomings.
Wet painting is a method that uses the dissolution of water to naturally join two colors to each other. When painting, while the color of the front brush is still wet, connect the back brush to make the paint The connection with the pen is soft and the edges are moist. The wet painting method is used to express smooth and delicate objects. It is also suitable for painting distant views, dark parts and reflective parts of objects. In the wet painting method, you need to pay attention to the amount of water and the timing of writing. How much water should be used, and how wet the background is to make the color suitable for painting. All must be carefully studied. In addition, when the background color has dried and still needs to be wet-joined, you can first wet the area with clean water and then paint the color on it, or after the color is painted, use a clean pen dipped in water to lightly brush on the edge of the color block, or you can Achieve the effect of wet painting.
In gouache painting, the painting method is more thick, and the wet painting method is more thin. The so-called thick or thin are also relative and should be based on the specific object and the intention of the painting. ,flexibly adopt corresponding performance methods. Many artists often use dry and wet painting methods alternately, using both dry and wet painting methods, with varying thicknesses. In some places, more water is used to render and infiltrate, while in other places, blocks of color are used to cover or juxtapose them, so as to achieve the best picture quality. The unity of diversity makes the work more perfect. "Spring on the Pujiang River" is an example of the combination of dry painting and wet painting.
Here we introduce several types of character and landscape works completed using dry painting and wet painting methods. In terms of processing techniques, some use block surfaces as the main representation of objects, while others use a combination of lines and surfaces. The method of expressing objects can be used as a reference for beginners when painting.
The dry painting method uses thick gouache to express the ups and downs of the character's face, with obvious brush strokes and a strong picture effect.
The wet painting method mainly uses watercolor thin coating. There is more water in the pigment, and the color seeps and flows more obviously. The method of combining line and surface makes the main body of the picture more clear.
Mainly dry painting, using both watercolor and gouache, and some decorative effects in modeling and coloring to show the majestic, majestic and colorful characteristics of the object.
Using the method of watercolor wet painting, the sky, distant mountains, water surface, etc. are all expressed by relying on the color infiltration method, so that the scenery in the painting is subtly and naturally combined to achieve the expression of rain. The vast and smoky atmosphere of the back fishing ground.
In addition to the above two main techniques of watercolor and gouache painting, there is also a method of applying light colors based on the sketch of the picture. Such as the widely popular pencil watercolor. Pen watercolor, charcoal watercolor, etc. are also popular forms of expression. This method is generally suitable for expressing fine objects. The author first uses a sketch tool to draw the outline, physical structure, black and white relationship, etc. of the object, and then adds large transparent and bright colors to make the picture both rigorous and lively, thus creating a special of beauty. This type of work, because it can fully express the characteristics of both form and color, is a method often used by many authors to collect creative materials and record life; architectural renderings, stage art costumes, shapes, scenery and other designs Most of the pictures also adopt this method of combining sketch and color. In terms of the production sequence, generally the bottom sketch is drawn first, and then the color is applied on top, or both can be repeated (for charcoal watercolor, you can spray glue to fix the charcoal sketch first and then color it, or you can leave it to charcoal powder Melt naturally with watercolor paint, both methods have their own benefits). Among them, pen watercolors are used to prevent the ink from seeping out and smearing the picture, and there are also cases where watercolors are applied as a base and then pen lines are applied on top. The ink for pen watercolor is preferably drawing ink. In addition to black, inks of other colors can also be used.
In addition, there are many specific techniques to choose from in terms of using materials and tools to fully and perfectly depict objects:
Paper dipping method. That is to say, place the drawing paper in clean water, soak it, take it out and paint while it is wet. This method is easy to achieve the effect of moisturizing and glossy colors and smooth brushing. Because the color liquid in the painting naturally seeps out, the objects depicted are subtle and vivid, almost like painting on raw rice paper.
Powder color method. It is a painting method that mixes thick or thin paste into the color. It is characterized by smooth brushing, thick color liquid without bleeding, and helps to better express the body and use brush strokes. The works drawn by the paste color method have rich and bright colors and clear and powerful shapes. It has some advantages of oil painting while still fully embodying the strengths of watercolor painting.
Washing method. It refers to washing the painted area to achieve the desired effect. This method can also be used to modify and adjust the picture. You can use a sponge to wash a large area, and absorbent paper can be used to absorb the washed color liquid in some areas.
Leave it blank. It refers to the method of leaving those blank and bright parts in the picture. Some of them use the "fly white" method, that is, inadvertently leaving blank spots in the painting pen; some use wax or oil pastels to draw blank points and lines in the required parts before painting; some use On the painted picture, while the color is still wet, use a knife or pen to "scrape" the required blank space, such as expressing tree trunks, waves, beards, hair, glass or metal highlights, etc., with good results.
Only through practical exploration can the application of the above methods gradually become more comfortable and produce ideal results.
Watercolor and gouache are a type of color painting, which use color to create an image. For knowledge on the use of color, please refer to the chapters in the oil painting section of this book, which will be omitted here.
The materials and tools of watercolor and gouache are basically the same. They can be used interchangeably. The only difference is that the composition of the pigments is different. Watercolor contains a small amount of colloid and is more transparent; while gouache It contains more powder and has covering power. Many artists often use both types of pigments for painting at the same time. When painting watercolors, white powder is sometimes used for individual highlights, especially small areas of white or light colors (some are also used to leaving blank spaces on the paper, or washing out bright parts of the painting with water). When doing gouache paintings, white powder is also often used. Use watercolor pigments to enhance the transparency of certain parts of the picture, especially when depicting the dark colors of objects. Dark watercolor pigments are more effective than water pink.
The paper used for watercolor and gouache paintings is preferably white paper that is firm and tight, has moderate water absorption and does not bleed (but some use colored paper to express specific content). If the paper absorbs water too quickly, the color will not flow easily; if the paper is too smooth, the pigment will not easily adhere to it and will flow away with the water. Commonly used watercolor and gouache drawing papers, various drawing papers and watercolor drawing papers with coarse and fine lines. When making gouache paintings, in order to bring out the bright colors, white cardboard and white plate paper are also used for painting. Different types of paper have different textures and different effects. Everyone can choose according to their own painting habits. When making a relatively large painting, the paper should be mounted on the drawing board in advance to avoid wrinkles, so that the painting can be kept flat and easy to express smoothly.
The commonly used brushes include flat pens and round pens made of sheep or wolf hair. The one with elasticity and large water storage capacity is better. The size of the pen depends on the size of the painting. Generally, three or four different types of brushes are enough when painting. In addition, you can prepare an outline pen and a shading pen for painting large areas of color.
Other tools such as palette boxes, water bowls, picture clips, drawing boards, easels and other tools do not have certain specifications and can be selected according to practical principles. The color palette box is used to hold the extruded pigments and arrange them in separate compartments. The pigments should be arranged in the order of depth, lightness and coldness. The general order is:
White, lemon yellow, medium chrome yellow, khaki, orange, Vermilion, scarlet, crimson, rose red, ocher, ripe brown, olive green, grass green, ultramarine, blue, green lotus, black.
The palette box comes with a tablet for color mixing. When mixing colors, if they appear to be too mixed or not white, the remaining pigments on the palette should be washed with water and newly mixed pigments should be prepared. For example, when making large-scale works indoors, porcelain basins or glass ( Stick white paper underneath) to match the color.
In addition, some authors also use auxiliary tools such as scrapers, loofah tendons, sponges, and crayons to express various artistic effects. For example, in the picture, the flash of water, small branches, snowflakes and other places that are difficult to free are often scraped out with a knife, and the effect is very vivid. Crayons are also used for parts and fine prints that are difficult to leave. Since the oiliness of crayons cannot combine with water to leave a natural blank space, you can write boldly without restraint when coloring. Use a sponge and loofah tendons to absorb some of the wet color on the screen to produce a moist and thick effect. Use loofah tendons to pat on the painted gouache color base to produce special effects of vigor and mottled light and shadow. Of course, such auxiliary tools can only be used appropriately, especially for beginners, it is better to use them as little as possible.
