It is precisely because of this that you will not see diversified styles and techniques in conceptual design. People's paintings are all very similar. This is because style is far less important than creativity or imagination in this industry. Our goal is to produce a great product. Speed ??is an important factor in conceptual design. Since the final product of an illustration is the illustration itself, time sometimes does not matter. A painting may take ten years, but it may be a priceless treasure after it is completed. For design, this situation is absolutely not allowed to happen. The goal of our work is to create the most creativity in the shortest time. This must be firmly remembered, our projects have a limited time limit, and time is money. And there are many people waiting for your design! Projects with no deadlines are rare. I think that's why you don't see people doing oil paint in conceptual design, because it takes time to dry. Of course, some illustration works also have time limits, such as book covers, magazine illustrations, etc. Thinking about 2D vs 3D As mentioned before, our 2D paintings will eventually become 3D products, such as a real 3D product iPod or a virtual three-dimensional character in a video game. Therefore, designers must learn to think in 3D. Let's discuss 2D illustration. Artists have many processing techniques. Take a photo as an example, see picture a. If you need to use 2D method to copy, you have many options: 1) I can train my eyes and hands to simply copy, see picture b; 2) I can draw The negative image allows the true positive image to emerge, see Figure c; 3) Use a grid to measure the distance between each shape, see Figure d. These methods are all feasible and often used when copying works. They all have the same thing in common: these techniques are all 2D thinking methods. For a concept designer like me, I would take a completely different approach. First, analyze the entire scene from a three-dimensional perspective, and then "draw" what is really there, not just what my eyes "see". In other words, I would draw the three-dimensional effect of everything and then place them into a 3D grid according to distance. See Figure e and Figure F. I would like to reiterate that I paint what is really there, not just what I "see". Please think carefully about this sentence, it is the key to conceptual design. Thinking from a 3D perspective is a basic skill that a designer must master. They need to understand the three-dimensional conformation of the things they draw. The process of drawing is like building these things in 3D space. It is a good test.... ..gt;gt; Question 3: Who can give a brief introduction to the theory of illustration and some personal opinions? . . Don't spray, don't spray. . To create illustrations, you can search for various elements from your mind or required themes, then find the realistic materials of these elements, put them together, and constantly reshape them (that is, composition, color, atmosphere, etc. It has to be polished slowly) and slowly becomes your own creation. This is my own creative process. Hope this helps. The more you draw, the more practice makes perfect. Thank you. Question 4: How to write an illustration design description? It should be more than 500 words... Start with the design intention, talk about the overall style, and tell a story. Question 5: What are the sketching knowledge that must be mastered to learn to draw comics and illustrations? 1. I think sketching is a basic thing. If you want to master the knowledge of sketching, you must master all of it before you can construct a good painting. It is not a matter of learning separate knowledge points. Various abilities are slowly accumulated together. 2. If you only learn the theory of sketching without actually drawing, do you think it will be useful? Therefore, it is useful to draw geometric shapes, still lifes, and plaster. Geometry trains the most basic concept of perspective, still life trains your composition and ability to grasp light and shadow, and plaster statues are related to structure. Once drawn, it will be of great help to your comics. 3. In fact, I draw comics. When I started studying art systematically, I actually felt that these comics could help me. It really helped me, but what helped me the most was sketching, especially since comics mostly draw people, and there are All kinds.Of course, sketching and coloring are also helpful for comics. Moreover, I gradually learned to fall in love with art instead of just improving my comics skills. I finally decided to apply for the Academy of Fine Arts. I believe you will continue to study with enthusiasm. What you have learned Question 6: What are the graphic design theory courses included? The courses studied include: Photoshop basics and illustrator. Packaging design illustration design graphic media design process, graphic image design, photo studio wedding image design, text special effects design, poster design, web page, Gif animation production, newspaper and magazine design, Logo, VI, C Geng design, print advertising appreciation Wuhan Qingmei is not bad Yes, you can go and learn more about question 7: What theoretical knowledge is needed for graphic design? In addition to design theory, hand-drawing ability and software knowledge, you must also have a certain cultural background. A good graphic designer must have a deep understanding of local culture, and integrate this understanding into his own creation to form his own style. Therefore, a graphic designer is still a perceptual cultural person~~~ Question 8: Expression methods of commercial illustrations 1. Basic modeling of commercial illustrations Graphic design deformation principles (flattening, simplification, exaggeration, abstraction) Artistic expression of creative ideas (personification) , humor, surreal fantasy, suspense***) 2. How to draw points and lines, how to draw lines (soft and beautiful lines, diagonal lines, uniform thickness lines, hard lines, strengthened lines) , trembling lines, thick lines, free lines) 3. Surface painting method 4. Method of expressing texture 5. Light and shadow 6. Method of expressing space 7. Collage 8. Integrated painting and materials 9. Computer digitization Expression method IIIustratorPainterPhotoshop Question 9: How to take the illustrator qualification certificate examination and what projects are required? If anyone knows, can you tell me in detail? Professional Illustrator Qualification Certificate Illustration, as an art form, has become an important form of visual communication in modern design. With its intuitive image, real sense of life and appeal of beauty, illustration occupies a specific position in modern design. It has been widely used in many fields of modern design, mainly involving publications, advertising, commercial promotions, game design, film and television animation, comics and cartoons and other fields. CCI Professional Illustrator Qualification Certification is an honorary qualification certification for illustration practitioners. It is supported by Illustration China, a domestic professional illustration organization. The CCI Illustrator Qualification Review Committee is responsible for the review. It is currently divided into primary, intermediate, and advanced. CCI Illustrator Qualification Certification is an honor and recognition for those who engage in professional illustration work. Whether you are a freelance illustrator or a full-time illustrator, your personal ability is the most important. This is an honor, and no company will require illustrators to have this certificate. It is different from the accounting certificate that must be obtained by an accountant. Of course, if you have this certificate, it may be more advantageous for companies to apply for illustrators. Question 10: I want to be an illustrator, but I have no drawing foundation, what should I do? Hello, I just study painting. Self-study may not be very professional. You can find art training classes for the joint entrance examination during holidays or after school. Practice more at ordinary times, and then learn some drawing software. Illustration is not as simple as imagined. It is not just hand-drawing. Learning illustration software is also very important. After you have studied to a certain level, you can first take the junior certificate exam. As long as you work hard, you can reach an average level in two years. But in addition to basic operational abilities, creative abilities are also very important for the postgraduate entrance examination. So in addition to studying and copying, you also need to read more and observe more, and try to create your own creations. If you can do all of the above, then it shouldn't be difficult to take the postgraduate entrance examination in illustration. Wish you success!
