Updated at 10.30: Oil pastel and colored lead illustrations--AUTUMN (full of useful information and videos)

I haven’t updated it for a long time, but I have been drawing. This picture was taken a month ago Illustrations with the theme of autumn, without further ado, I will post the main picture, video and process~

The picture size is A3, using Canson 1557 colored lead paper, cherry blossom oil pastels, and Honghui water soluble.

A quick 2-minute video

Not counting the time for conception and line drawing, this painting took more than 8 hours and was reduced to 2 minutes.

01. Pencil Draft

The formal pencil draft will be lighter, so I put a transfer draft using copy paper.

02. Here is a coloring technique, which is to apply the light color first. If I start coloring from the eyes first, the first thing to apply is the whites of the eyes and the highlights of the eyeballs. In fact, these two parts do not need to be white. , but oil pastels can easily smudge the picture when painting. If you are not careful, the white paper will be stained by shavings. If you lay down a layer of color first, if the color is stained later, you can use a blade to pick it away for easy cleaning. And shape. Before applying pure white, check the pen tip to see if there are any variegated colors. If so, find a piece of white paper and turn the pen tip to remove the variegated colors before adding color.

Next, I used a flesh-colored oil pastel to paint the skin color. After using it, I felt that the hardcover flesh color was more saturated, easier to color, and had less crumbs. The flesh color of the plain yellow box felt better on paper than the hardcover painting. It's a bit thin, so I won't talk about the crumbs, but the thin yellow box can still be used to draw small parts, so I usually use hardcover for skin tones, and plain cover for the rest, so the flesh color is the shortest in my entire hardcover. When painting skin color, be careful to avoid the eyes, mouth and hair that we will paint later, because oil pastels will become dirty and greasy if mixed accidentally, so before painting, you must think about the effect of the next step or even ten steps. When I painted here, the fingers were also flesh-colored, but in order to avoid drawing too early and not being able to distinguish the boundary between the face and the hands later, I placed the fingers and arms at the back before laying out the color.

Then use a black oil pastel to mark the position of the pupil. From here on, I use a plain yellow box. After marking the pupil position, use light brown color on the black edge, and then paint with dark brown. Complete the outline of the eyeballs. When drawing, pay attention to changing the angle of the pen tip at any time and try to use the side peak to draw within the scope of the pencil line drawing. After laying out the eyeball color, use dark brown to draw the eyebrows. Then use dark brown colored pencil to outline the upper eyeliner and eyeballs, then clearly draw the outline of the highlight part of the eyeballs, and then draw the eyelashes. When drawing, put a paper towel or white paper under your hand. In fact, it will bring in various colors of crumbs, so it is better to put it on the hand.

Next, use a big red oil pastel to color the lips. When painting, use a tapping method to draw small red lips. On the cheeks, lightly draw the approximate location. Later, I will use a plain flesh color to mix colors, which will produce a healthy and bright complexion. Then I will paint the tip of the nose red, and the white part will be a fallen leaf falling on the nose. Then use the flesh color of the yellow box and click to mix the color evenly.

I then use bright red color pencil to draw the lower eyelids and corners of the eyes, outline the lower part of the nose, and then lightly draw on the coating of the oil pastel to make a transition, so the color pencil can draw On the oil pastel, then draw the double eyelids. Use the bright red color to deepen the shadow of the eyelids. The stroke should still be light, otherwise the oil pastel drawn before will be scraped away. Then outline the mouth shape and add lip color. Deepen it, then trim the outline of the eyebrows and fill in the dark parts of the mouth.

03. Then we started to color the hair. I used hardcover oil pastels here. Because the hair area is large, I used thick ones to color. The color used is actually the same as the color of the eyes. , dark brown and light brown, the corresponding colors in hardcover are called dark brown and ripe ocher. When drawing hair, you should draw it according to the trend of the hair in the previous pencil sketch. Use a light color for the light-receiving surface and a dark color for the shadow part, or mix the two colors. When mixing the colors, the order of the dark and light colors is different, and the hair strands are outlined. The background color will also be different, you can feel it yourself. Also, you need to have a sense of the overall situation when painting. The strong coverage of oil pastels will make you feel that the colors are confusing later on.

The colors used for the leaves are olive green and dark olive. The leaves are divided into two halves. The tips of the leaves are dotted with red, because the leaves start to turn red in autumn. When painting, you should pay attention to the front and back of the leaves. Relationship, after laying out the general body color, use red to highlight the small red fruits between the leaves.

Isn’t my painting table hin fresh and fresh~

05. The plant part is not completed at one time. Next, I started to hook the hair part, using homemade wood. Pen. When it comes to drawing lines, you can actually use pins, toothpicks, utility knives, or pens that can’t write colors. You can choose according to the thickness of the line and ease of use. Personally, I think using pins or toothpicks is a bit difficult for fingers to work for a long time. It was hard work, so I made my own wooden pen. How to make this? I just use a disposable chopstick pencil sharpener to roll it, and then use a utility knife to cut the thickness and then use it. When drawing hair strands, first draw the outline of each hair strand, and then divide the hair strands into small pieces inside, so that the drawing will not be messy, from large to small and then to each hair strand. There will be a lot of crumbs when hooking, so be sure to clean them up in time, otherwise the accumulation will make the picture more dirty. Because soiling is inevitable, we can only reduce the coloring of crumbs to the greatest extent.

After finishing the hairline, I started to use colored pencils to repair the details, which is to repair the rough edges and smooth them. The color used is the same as or similar to the hair color of the oil pastel. Retouching details means cleaning the edges and distinguishing the relationship between the front, rear, left, and right objects. When drawing hair, you can add more while trimming, and make adjustments according to the effect of the picture. Painting this part requires a lot of patience, so it's okay to take your time, but don't be impatient.

Next, I used a light gray oil pastel to color the gray cat. I used a mixture of pink and white oil pastels to paint the pads on the cat’s paws. Then I used a light brown oil pastel to draw stripes and then painted them with gray. Blend to prepare for the cat hair behind. Then put the cat here, and I started to draw the lower part of the painting, which is the part of the clothes and plants. I first colored the pomegranate leaves on the clothes, and painted them in royal blue. In autumn, pomegranates bear fruit in autumn, and then Draw the leaves in the lower right corner in the same way as on the left. Remember to add some red fruits after painting.

Then use a wooden pen to draw the cat hair in the direction of growth. Then notice that there are two plants on the back of the cat’s head. When drawing, pay attention to use color to distinguish the relationship between the front and back. The details can be filled in later with colored pencils. This is how I treated some of the red fruits on the arms. I first scraped off the coating with a wooden pen. , and then paint it with red, which can reduce the greasiness caused by color mixing. Then draw the remaining plants and fruits here at the cat's tail. Then color the pomegranate fruit and draw the details of some plants in the lower left corner. The so-called detail drawing is to use colored pencils to smooth the outline and distinguish the front-to-back relationship between the arm and the plant, and the front-to-back relationship between the hair and the plant. When necessary, use a utility knife to scrape off excess coating, and use a wooden pen to outline the veins of the leaves.

Then we drew the little bee with a helpless expression. We first used oil pastels to draw the base, and then used black, brown and blue to draw the bee’s stripes, eyes, antennae, Wings and other things, as well as the dotted flight track behind it. After drawing these, I started to draw the plants in the front part of the clothes. The relationship between the plants in this part is a bit complicated, so I looked at it for a long time before I could sort out the relationship. But after I sorted it out, it was fine, so I have to draw it here. Don't give up, the painting method is the same as before.

Remember to outline the veins for the small leaves on the nose, and then use red color pencil to add some red. I am using a utility knife to scrape off the small particles of oil paint stuck to the face, and then After cleaning up the picture, we next draw the details of the pomegranate fruit, using royal blue and dark red colored pencils to draw the leaves and fruits respectively. Then remove the neckline and left hand, and use red colored pencil to draw directly on the oil pastel coating to create the shadow of the neckline and distinguish the before and after effects of the fingers and face.

06. Next, we need to complete the plant on the right half of the cat's tail. The painting method is the same as before. Many steps are actually repeating the previous actions. Just pay attention to the relationship between before and after when painting. Next, use gray pencil to complete the outline of the cat's back half, and then use black pencil to deepen the outline, making sure not to miss the pink flesh pads. After painting, add small paws and fill in a little bit of pink.

07. Then we started to enrich the picture. We used royal blue colored pencils to draw the small blue plant behind the green leaves. This part was just looking at the painting. If it felt missing, we would draw the leaves in. After drawing more leaves, remember to connect them together to make them look like they are growing. Then we finished the clothes and colored this part with colored pencils. The colors used were peacock blue and dark green. The final effect was a sharp color contrast with the red pomegranate fruit.

The yellow background here is made of earthy yellow lead. Fill all the white background. Remember to leave an area of ??pink flowers for embellishment. The second bee is drawn in the same way as the previous one. Next, I painted the English words for autumn. Here I used black-brown colored pencils and dark brown oil pastels. After finishing the painting, I felt that the color was too dark and overshadowed it, so I used a utility knife to lighten the color of the oil pastels.

08. Then continue using earthy yellow colored pencils, and use pink and yellow colored pencils to draw the petals and center of the flower as well as groups of two or three osmanthus flowers. Then fill in the parts that were not painted before one by one, such as the decoration on the neck, a small part of the plants in the background and the green clothes. Then use earthy yellow color pencil to fill in the remaining background, add some osmanthus flowers, and finally make final adjustments to the picture.

The final signature is over.

OVERHow to draw a simple illustration with colored pencils?

Draw a simple illustration with colored pencils: Preparation work: sharpen colored pencils, prepare a 0.5 and 0.7 mechanical pencil, a black pen or gel pen, and thicker and more delicate sketch paper Or a sketchbook or a compass. Ready to use. Take out the compass and insert the pencil lead. Use a compass to draw a circle of the size you want on sketch paper or a picture book. If you use A4 size paper, it is recommended to leave a distance of about 2cm between the top edge of the circle and the edge of the paper. Use a mechanical pencil to draft within the circle. Draw the picture you want based on the actual object or a copy. Pay attention to writing lightly to facilitate modification. Then use a pen or neutral to define the lines and draw the outline. The lines should be smooth, even and beautiful. I like to give my peonies a light color first. The coloring method is to use maroon or rose red colored pencils to darken the color from the root of the petals, and then gradually lighten the color at the edge, so that the color will have a gradient effect, with a strong three-dimensional sense and a sense of layering. Then use dark green, light green, and lake blue colored pencils to color the leaves. The color is darker near the main stem. The roots of each leaf are dark green with a little blue, and the tips of the leaves are lightly painted with a little earthy yellow. Create gradient and transition effects on colors. Make the picture more beautiful. Finally, use an eraser to erase the remaining lines and embellish them. The beautiful peony pen pastel painting is now in front of your eyes. END Notes: When drawing a draft, write lightly. It's too heavy and difficult to correct and erase misaligned pencil lines. This is the soul illustrator! It’s only half of the hand-drawn drawings and it’s amazing. The effect of this dress is even more beautiful than haute couture

Fashion illustration sounds like a very professional art, but although illustration requires professionalism, "fashion" can indeed be understood by everyone. The work in the picture

vividly shows us another charm of fashion

. Its creator is

Shamekh Al Bluwi, A designer from Jordan.

In the conventional impression, fashion is all colored by the hands of illustrators, showing charming fashionable colors on paper. But

Shamekh Al Bluwi came up with the idea of ??turning beautiful scenery into fashion during his work trip. He turned part of the illustration into a blank hollow and filled it with the beautiful scenery in life, allowing fashion to incorporate more elements of life. .

Because this idea is very down-to-earth and truly integrates elements of life, after he released this idea, it quickly received praise from the entire network.

Blue sky and white clouds can also be a very beautiful skirt print. A pure blue skirt paired with dots of different shades of blue. Sure enough, the beauty in nature is truly ingenious. You don't even need to create these things, just record them with a camera.

A corner of the street is also a creative place for Shamekh. It can be a cement wall, or the connection and splicing of plants and walls. These ordinary and ordinary pictures are "printed" on the skirt and become It became a completely different picture.

If you want to be eye-catching, road signs and moving cars can be used as decorations on fashionable skirts.

Shamekh also likes to "borrow" some patterns from some items,

For example, this very distinctive sofa cushion, the character print has a retro palace style, and it immediately becomes very chic Artistic sense.

The lights on the roadside can also be Shamekh’s creative inspiration. The skirt with its own light is matched with the hollow pattern

It is eye-catching and very unique. I am afraid that many designers will do this. Incredibly clever prints.

More retro and original hollows and patterns can be used as unique skirt prints

You only need to cut a skirt shape, and you can easily use "blank" to take advantage of the beautiful scenery. Create a unique sense of design.

These ceramic tiles, which are very stylish in themselves, can also instantly become retro prints on beauties. Almost a skirt can have several styles and prints.

Shamekh will also create a small "joint name" with many other people's art, and combine other people's art into his own skirt. This kind of creativity is fashionable and innovative, and it is completely different from the fashion illustrations in his impression. .

You can also combine it with clever angles to turn the three-dimensional picture in your eyes into a flat surface and print it on your own works.

An ordinary corner of the kitchen is instantly transformed into a beauty’s cape and floral skirt, which is really clever and stunning.

The same "model" and the same skirt can also produce N many different styles and colors. Let us see that fashion is not so profound and complicated, nor is it so high-minded. It can also be very simple. daily.

There are many more works by Shamekh. Although they are all taken from scenes in life and nature, they also require creativity and eyes that dare to discover beauty.
