Among the training institutions in the field of "illustration design", [Wang's Education] is the leader in China, and it does not join the branches, but is a chain campus directly operated by the headquarters. Different from many other large institutions of the same type: each campus of Wang's Education is physically face-to-face, the teachers are hand-in-hand, and there are special class teachers from morning to night, and the liver-bursting learning mode will improve quickly, especially suitable for students with poor foundation.

1.Before drawing illustration, the main training is modeling ability, you can practice sketching, draw the surrounding scenes and small objects, which is very helpful to the foundation of illustration, for color, you can learn more from some of your favorite works, form your own color feeling.

2.Illustrations are basically drawn with a computer + pen tablet at present.,You need to understand some basic operations of PS.。。。

3.You can read more basic illustration theories and tutorials to learn illustration step by step. You can go to the ** that you learn in seconds.,There's a very detailed course on illustration.。

How do you start learning board illustration? In fact, it's very simple, you can draw whatever you want, you have to draw if you don't know how to draw, you have to draw if you don't like it, and you have to draw a mess of it.

If you give up in the process, you can't start anything, and you can give up the irritable thoughts, you are just three minutes of heat, many people are like this, thinking that they are serious, but they are not.

If you draw more and more, you will continue to paint without any discomfort while constantly revising the picture to make it more vivid. In the process of learning and accumulating, over time you will find the feeling of painting on your own.

Personally, I think learning to draw is the same as learning a phonetic. Start with something simple, and of course it must be something you're interested in. Even if it's just a few simple lines and small expressions, it's fine.

First get to know the tools in hand, and then slowly cultivate tacit understanding, and gradually challenge some complex graphics. When you reach a certain stage and a certain number of paintings, you will find that there are many rules in painting, and you can express them freely after you are familiar with them. The point is that the medicine can't be stopped, and the hands can't be stopped!!

Another point that I personally think is important is "brave expression". There is no clear line between good and bad in painting, just express what you want to express, but at the beginning of the painting you may not express 100% of your heart, but even if you only express 1% or less, there will be people who understand.

Of course, if you simply think that resemblance or dislikeness is the only criterion, then this is simpler, just keep drawing. Calm down and accumulate little by little, maybe not a lot, but for a long time. If you're impatient, lazy, and want to do it quickly, give up early...

If you think it's useful, like it and encourage it.

Question 1: Whether it is illustration or animation, or game original painting, 3D modeling and rendering, etc., ......The foundation of painting is a must, and it can not be as good as learning traditional painting, but it must be able to do so. Sketching emphasizes the sense of space, light and shadow, etc., and color is the mastery of light (personal understanding, but there are also illustrations that use color to express emotions, or the type itself is limited to a certain color range, such as child insertion, this type of illustration generally requires high color saturation, bright and lively.

Copying more is a good thing, but it is not blindly copying, learning to draw must first be able to look at paintings, after all, copying is a kind of learning process, of course, it is good to increase interest through this behavior.

The question of style has always been a cliché......Personally, I feel that the style is not set at the beginning, but is formed through the accumulation of experience over a long period of time. The style of painting at the beginning doesn't mean that you will only paint this style for the rest of your life, right? People always make progress through learning.

As for the issue of coloring, in fact, speaking of which, I think there is a question that should be mentioned at the beginning, illustrations are divided into types.

In other words, if you really engage in the illustration industry in the future, there are several major styles as a premise.

For example, children's illustration, juvenile illustration, realistic illustration and so ......onAs mentioned before, the children's illustration is mainly the Q version, and the characters below the 6 heads are the Q version, and most of them are different from the head and body. The colors are rich and saturated, and the content is positive. (Exclude certain ...... with special hobbies.)）

Shonen illustration (= = I remember it seems to be called shonen illustration or girl?) Well......Let's not worry about this, lz you should know what I mean. Now it's more common, mostly in the card comic genre, which is the kind of wired art.

Have lunch and come back and write again. LZ will depend on ......

Go on, there's more to talk about realistic illustrations, so let's stop here for the time being! Now there are actually a lot of semi-realistic paintings, such as the common romance ** covers, most of which are semi-realistic, if lz doesn't quite understand what type it is, you can search for paintings such as Yawen (Taiwan).

Okay, let's move on to the problem of coloring software. There are many software used in CG painting, and there are probably three of the most common ones in China.

PhotoshopCS series, Painter and SAI. Originally, PS was not a software specifically used for painting, but was mostly used for ** processing, graphic design advertising, etc. But with more and more brushes in PS now, coupled with its own powerful function of ** processing, it has gradually become a CG painting software.

Needless to say, Painter is a software that simulates traditional painting. A variety of powerful traditional painting brushes, which are very suitable for those with painting skills.

Oops......I just saw the message that it was selected as the recommended answer by the administrator, and I don't know if the modified answer here can continue to be submitted. I'll try ......

1.To learn illustration, then the most important thing is the character, so first you have to learn to draw the head, and then the human body.

If you don't have the basics, it will be very slow, mainly because you don't know the principles, and you can only get to the point where practice makes perfect by copying.

Illustration also has an important color.,It's recommended that you figure out the principle of color.,By the way, buy a few color reference books.,Japan has a good coordinate color.,Classify colors.,Including feelings.,Feelings.,For example, what color matching is needed for elegance.。

2.The certificate personally feels that it is not particularly useful, or is the effort at hand important, you have a certificate, the drawing is not good, no one wants it, maybe the certificate can be listed and lent to others to make some extra money?

3There is no special standard, you can try, read a **, draw illustrations for it, show it to the people around you after painting, everyone says it looks good, then it is a success, if you think it is average, then continue to hone it.

Look at which area the subject is, find a reliable institution to study and study, go to the official website of the training institution to see the works of teachers and students, and consult whether the course is suitable for you, there are many training classes that can be auditioned. You can go to the station to see what kind of accuracy and effect the works of the working illustrators are, and you can also have a certain psychological expectation in your heart.

Let's copy it first, find a favorite style of painting, and then start from the draft, take your time, the type is very important, and the type is accurate before you can talk about the future painting techniques.

Actually, the LZ foundation is really a must, if you want to achieve the kind of purpose you said, I have studied the foundation for a few years, but the things drawn are still not very ideal, I will answer your questions one by one.

1> I think your first two steps are correct, but I think there is a bit of a problem with the coloring problem here, first of all, the software is just a tool, just to help you complete the work better and faster, but it is not omnipotent, so don't rely on it, a person who can draw is no matter where he is, no matter what he uses, he will draw works that make people feel aesthetic, so here I suggest that you should read more and think more and learn more and practice, find out what you can learn from some good works, and master some color senses, The feeling of the line is more important, followed by what software is more convenient to use, more able to achieve the effect you want, as for how long you say you can draw a better work, then it still depends on yourself, when copying or painting by yourself, whether to paint with heart or just form, in general, I feel that if you can stick to one every day, and it is to draw with heart, about nearly two years, it will definitely make a qualitative leap.

2> I don't think the training class is good, he will train you to be a way of thinking, and draw according to what he teaches, so that the painting will be painted to death, and the people who come out of the class will draw the same, I think you should understand when I say this, of course, this is my opinion.

So to sum up, in this industry, it's okay to be a hobby, but it's too difficult to be a career.

I hope it will help you, and I hope that my article will not destroy your confidence, and I still hope that you can cheer up, sincerely, come on, and finally splash my not very mature work, come on.

You can learn sketching first, or you can teach yourself comics.

Yes, yes, yes.

I taught myself without any foundation, even in school art.

I haven't taken a few classes, and there are many CG illustrators who are self-taught.

If you want to develop in this field, it is recommended to learn from those painters who have become famous and started classes to ensure the efficiency of learning.

Nowadays, there are a lot of resources on the Internet, and it is very convenient to learn by yourself, but whether you are self-learning or registering for classes, you have to rely entirely on your own patience and thinking, which is not a skill that can be learned by chance, of course, if you really have the talent in this area and are extremely high, it is another matter.

The frustration you are talking about is actually taken for granted.,Software is just a tool in the end.,Can't say that you can write beautiful words with a pen.,It takes a period of hard work to accumulate and think.,Calm down.,Normal mind.,Whether it's drawing or what to do.,This is a prerequisite for preparation.,Maybe your attitude towards CG illustration is a little impatient.,Besides,It's because you can't do it well.,So you can do it well.。

It is recommended to pay more attention to the accumulation of knowledge and techniques in this area, and to think patiently, and it is recommended to try to read Betty's "Think Like an Artist".

In the end, I relied on my own accumulation of self-study, and spending a little more time can also be rewarded, and I signed up for the class, and I just felt CG illustrations in my normal heart, with a practice picture of yesterday.

Sketching is the foundation, and when you sketch, you can practice light and shadow, structure, perspective, the relationship between virtual and real, and so on. You can learn it without a foundation, and it will be taught in most illustration classrooms. And the ultimate goal of drawing is to be original, to draw what you want to draw.

- Memur Illustration and Comic Classroom.

The foundation of painting is cultivated, and the works you are optimistic about are followed by feelings.

The efforts of people crying, countless bitterness, others are carved out of the painting with their hands, but you are a casual painting, the feeling must be clear at a glance!

The painting is very asymmetrical, a little crooked, "novices should not imitate the master's skillful skills, before painting must be drafted, do not blindly put the pen down!" You will continue to revise and improve, and you will continue to improve in the slow learning, in the same way, it is not enough to just say that you don't practice, if you really love to draw, draw it now, and wait until when you don't paint?

In addition, it is also a good choice to see the paintings of masters or original illustrators.,If you talk about practice as a basis,So much copying and seeing more is a shortcut.,!

In addition, practicing sketching can help you quickly browse the picture, improve your eyes to hand, and help you improve your painting skills, I recommend you to Yu Xiaodong's sketch book, "Yu Xiaodong Sketch" I have collected n books, when others want to learn to paint with me, I will send him really good and real!

In short, painting is an art, and you must continue to "cultivate" to reach the peak!

It's okay to have no foundation, but it's more difficult, in fact, everyone doesn't know anything before they come into contact at the beginning, so they all take their time. At the beginning you copy the sketch, some people will feel that they don't need it, in fact, it is still useful, if you really don't want to, it doesn't matter, you can copy the illustration you like, at the beginning you just pressed the paper on the painting and printed the painting, after feeling familiar and smooth, and then copy, slowly on the basis of its original, and then play to imagine your own original, self-study is easy to go astray, so the proportion of characters, facial features or something to observe, look at the information or something. Take your time, keep it up.

The hands of the beating are sore)

You can paint without a painting foundation, but it takes time and some talent, and you can't copy it in a day or two With the accumulation of time, you should be able to see progress But if you want to become professional (referring to pure art such as sketching gouache oil painting) you still need the guidance of a professional teacher and continuous painting training If you want to draw a comic, it is completely feasible to think slowly on your own, but you have to be patient I have received professional art training since I was a teenager, and now I have graduated from college design for a few years, and I have regressed if I don't practice hand-drawing Hope the answer is useful to you
