Drawing pictures of peopleThe following are some basic points for drawing a character:
** 1. Type and characteristics of figure painting **
1. ** Traditional figure painting genre **
- In traditional China figure paintings, there were Taoist and Buddhist paintings, beautiful women paintings, portrait paintings, genre paintings, historical story paintings, and so on. Different types of figure paintings were different in terms of the objects they represented and the purpose of painting. For example, portraits focused on depicting the appearance and expression of the characters, striving to present the characters vividly, while paintings of beautiful women mostly depicted female images, which had unique aesthetic requirements in terms of shape, clothing, posture, etc.
- In traditional portrait painting, it was very important to pay attention to the character's vivid personality, vivid charm, and both form and spirit. Artists often expressed the character's personality in the environment, atmosphere, body shape, and dynamic rendering.
2. ** The creative tendency of modern figure painting (such as the examples of modern figure painting included in the reference materials)**
- Take some modern artists as an example. For example, Xu Hualing had a unique style in the creation of figure paintings. She was good at using water to create human body paintings and paid attention to creating artistic conception when representing characters. The figures in her works were light and had transparent skin. She often placed the characters in special situations or backgrounds, just like putting a girl's body painting in an abstract background. Some parts of the body were integrated with nature or overlapped with the surrounding objects, creating a hazy and illusory beauty.
** 2. Drawing steps (summarized from the drawing tutorial in the reference materials)**
1. ** Shaping Stage (Take the character sketch as an example)**
- Although there was no detailed content in the reference materials about the basic forming process of character painting, in general, forming was to determine the basic outline and proportion of the character. One could start from the whole, for example, using simple geometric shapes to summarize the main parts of the character, such as the head as an oval, the body as a cuboid, and so on. Then, he would gradually refine the outline to determine the posture of the character and the approximate position of the five facial features.
2. ** Line drawing (Take drawing the love of a rich family as an example)**
- Some auxiliary methods could be used to determine the proportion of the face and the position of the facial features. Draw an egg-shaped picture (representing the head), and then divide it to determine the position of the eyes, nose, mouth, and so on. First, he drew a rough outline, including the shape of the head, body, clothes, etc., and then gradually added details, such as the direction of the hair, the folds of the clothes, etc. Finally, he drew the lines and perfected the draft.
3. ** Color and shadow expression (Take the painting of love as an example)**
- After completing the sketch, the character could be expressed through color. For the shadows, different colors could be used to distinguish the shadows of different parts. For example, red represented the shadow on the skin, blue represented the shadow of the hair, yellow represented the highlight, and green represented the shadow on the clothes. Of course, in traditional painting, there were also many ways to express color. For example, oil paintings could use the mixing and layering of paint to express the skin color, clothing color, and light and shadow effects of the characters. Watercolor paintings used the blending of water and paint to create a layered sense of color and changes in light and shadow.
** 3. Drawing with the help of modern technology (such as AI painting)**
1. ** Spell of AI Painting (Take a specific character portrait as an example)**
- If he used AI to draw a portrait, he could determine the requirements of the painting by writing a spell. For example, it required 8K resolution, super high resolution, and the best image quality. It could describe the appearance of the character, such as a beautiful girl, moist lips, peerless beauty, purple hair, thick and beautiful makeup, exquisite and perfect facial features, sapphire-like eyes, and so on. It could also describe the character's clothing, the environment (such as wearing a colorful bare-shoulder shirt in a cafe), as well as the size, style, and sample mode of the image.
