In illustration, we often draw lessons from some useful artistic expression methods to create pictures, among which surrealism is one of the commonly used creative theoretical techniques in illustration works, and it is also the easiest to master. Surrealism visual art is devoted to exploring the inner subconscious and dreams, advocating breaking through the impression and logic of the real world and creating a novel world view in the art world. It sounds profound. In fact, the simple way to realize it is to combine two unrelated and directly related real things and change their role in the picture, thus releasing their thoughts and impulses. Combining two unrelated things is actually a kind of creativity. Through this illogical way, you can get creative inspiration quickly.
In addition, mind mapping and inspirational painting are shortcuts to get inspiration. In addition, you can also use different creative means such as installation, texture and collage to get creativity. As can be seen from the official works published by many world-class art colleges, illustration is not limited to traditional painting media. Students from Camberwellcollegeofart use ceramic and knitted materials to attach the texture of illustrations to the materials.
Finally, enriching the types of illustrations also helps to get inspiration. When making illustrations, traditional narrative illustrations and series illustrations are inevitable. Commercial packaging, brand, poster design, illustration combined with equipment and space, and even illustration combined with clothing are all directions that will be tried. See more, think more and try more. That's how creativity comes about.
