At the moment I finished painting, I felt a little sense of accomplishment and excitement. At this point, I finally got rid of the trouble of not creating a series of illustrations. Although all the pictures are not perfect, there is still a long way to go in the future, but the end of this series is also a great encouragement for an illustrator Xiao Bai.
I also want to record my growth and creative process here, hoping to bring some inspiration to friends who have the same troubles.
First, determine the theme.
I choose yoga as the theme of this series. I always wanted to practice the human body at first, but I didn't know where to start. I accidentally saw many friends who love sports in the circle of friends, and posted good morning fitness pictures every morning. One by one graceful figure is particularly charming. So as long as I see good pictures, I will save them. At that time, I didn't know I was going to paint this series, just because I love beautiful things.
Second, find a reference map.
When I decided to create with yoga as the theme, I found that my picture reserve was insufficient 12, so I searched around the Internet and finally found 12 pictures that satisfied me. Search websites: Bing, Baidu, Pinterest, etc.
Third, draw a draft outline
This step is drawn according to the bone structure-filling the meat-putting on clothes after finding the picture.
Fourth, think about composition.
After painting the main characters, I began to consider the scene, and I felt dissatisfied with several designs. It's too difficult for me to draw them. Just at this time, I saw someone sharing in Weibo: inspired by the great creative way of painting small objects, I can try boldly without sticking to the inherent form. So I decided on the composition of vases, cups and people.
Fifth, find a color reference.
This part has been tangled for a long time, and there are many favorite color matching series. How to make a choice? Because I want to show warm colors, warm colors and bright colors in the picture, I finally chose the color matching of my favorite illustrator's works as a reference, but later I also adjusted it.
Sixth, draw the first picture.
According to the previous steps, I drew the first picture, and I can find that my color is obviously darker than the reference picture. This is because in the post-processing, I accidentally tried the effect made by a brush, but found that it was better than the original color, so I later had a different color scheme. Try more and there will always be new surprises!
Seven. Drawing of other pictures
Similarly, find the elements you want to draw and deal with the scene-line drawing-coloring-post-effect. At this point, the rest of the screen output will come naturally!
Eight, make a small video with clips.
Nine, send Weibo, update the collection.
This series of pictures is over. Although the introduction was just a short article, it took me nearly two months to actually operate it. Intermittent other work has affected the progress, but I draw a few strokes every day. This creative process also gave me great inspiration. Don't worry, blindly see how fast others finish their works. That is also the result of others' accumulation and precipitation for many years, or others are just gifted.
And I, as an ordinary white, need a long time to draw a series of pictures. I accepted that I am an ordinary person, an ordinary fortune, and everything is difficult. But even so, I enjoy the process of filling the canvas with strokes every day, which is enough. Of course, I am very satisfied with the final result.
Finally, I still want to end my sharing with a bowl of chicken soup.
The name of this series is: be the best yourself in 2020.
That's what I keep telling myself.
No matter what the outside world is like, no matter what others are like.
The only thing we can control is our own life.
It is enough to be the best yourself in 2020!
May we all get what we want.
Where there is time, there are people dancing.
As long as there is art, life will not be deserted. ____
Always feel that life is boring. How to live is a process from birth to death. The subject of life is ourselves. In this process, we can enjoy different States: depression, numbness, enthusiasm, activity, confusion, falsehood, dullness and truth. Enjoying these States is our life, and we can complete the process of life with different emotional experiences. \x0d\ As long as we still have feelings, living is meaningful, and its significance lies in the fact that we have gone through this process. No matter what your life goal is, you are completing a life experience. Without a clear goal in life, you are also completing another life experience. No matter what kind of life experience, its continuity is our life. \x0d\ Our life can be transformed from one state to another, so that we can taste different lives. Then, any state actually has its process and continuity. Its process lies in that it will have a period of time, during which we will enjoy pain, happiness, dullness and enrichment. Its continuity can be compared to inertia in physics. Although the state has changed, it still has some influence. Just like the waves in the sea, although the surface is calm after disappearing, its strength is still there. If we understand the concept of being alive, we will find that no matter what kind of lifestyle, it will become the past, and the rest is only the memory of life experiences in our hearts. If we are trapped in this, perhaps we should look at this process with a transcendental vision, because only transcendence can turn illusion into reality \x0d\ numbness into enrichment. Only in this way can we become the masters of the process and enjoy every state of life with a positive attitude. \x0d\ If you can understand the above contents and actively adjust your mentality and ideas, you will find that life is full of sunshine. When we find sunshine, our hearts are no longer empty, but full and happy.
How does WeChat official account make money? How to make money from the official WeChat account is as follows:
Use the reward function of WeChat official account.
The main core of WeChat official account operation is content creation. A high-quality content can not only attract more users, but also get more returns. However, rewards are not fixed, which basically depends on the reader's class. For example, an emotional WeChat official account will have a higher number of rewards than a fitness WeChat official account. Moreover, WeChat recently closed Apple's reward function, which also reduced the revenue of this method to some extent.
Use your official WeChat account to get advertising endorsements.
Advertising endorsement, this way is more suitable for some big heads, they have their own fame, more grounded than celebrity endorsement, and are very popular with advertisers. There are only 22 million cosmetics endorsed by papi sauce, and it is not difficult to see how deep the influence of Big V is. Of course, this method is not suitable for general self-media publicity.
Select soft text
At present, part of the main income of WeChat official account comes from receiving soft articles and attracting advertisers with high-quality and highly interactive content. This is indeed a very suitable way of income for content producers, but now many advertisers pay more attention to the level of reading and demand high viscosity from users. It is not realistic to write soft articles and attract users at the same time. Many public websites may attract fans' disgust because of frequent soft articles. This way requires you to coordinate the relationship with readers, otherwise it is likely to be worth the loss.
