If you want to ask what the necessary basic skills of drawing illustrations are, many people will immediately say, isn't it the color, the human body structure, and the perspective of the oldest? That's right, but you may have overlooked a basic skill, composition! This is an ability you need to master before you start to touch color and body structure.
I don't understand, you don't know how much makeup is!
How important is composition? Don't worry, give a chestnut first, assuming we are going to draw a girl now. The first thing is naturally to prepare a blank sheet of paper, after that? Is it going to draw on three or seventy-one? The correct way to open is: Before you start writing, you need to conceive the picture first, imagine where the girl should be in the picture, what is the overall proportion, and when the position and proportion are determined, it is to further outline the image of the girl. A range of knowledge of body structure, perspective and color will be used.
The position and scale mentioned in the above example is the composition, also called the layout. The quality of the composition directly affects the visual experience of the picture, and plays a role in highlighting the theme of the picture and enhancing the sense of hierarchy. The composition failed, and even if the details of the subject in the painting are impeccable, it is not a qualified work.
What are the tricks of the unlocking routine of the composition?
Since composition is so important, how can we master the method of composition? Well, everything has a "routine", Xiaobian this will unlock you one by one.
Composition Routine 1: "One"
The "one" word is based on horizontal lines. As shown in the figure below, the lake surface is a natural horizontal line, giving a feeling of openness, harmony and quietness. This composition is often used in paintings of natural landscapes such as lakes, seas, and grasslands.

In some pictures of rising sunsets, the "one" composition method is also more common.
Composition Routine 2: "|"
The "|" lettering, which is based on vertical lines, has vertical characteristics like standing people, trees, buildings, etc., and often appears in some illustration works, giving a sense of depth in a tall or a little perspective. .

In the above picture, the trees are from near to far, and the trees (vertical lines) are gradually shortened, resulting in a sense of distance and increasing depth for the picture. In fact, in this work, the horizontal line is also used - the boat in the picture. Therefore, in the specific illustration creation, the various composition methods are not mutually exclusive, but complement each other and exert their respective strengths.
Composition Routine 3: "/" "\" Lettering
The "/" "\" grammar, the slash-line composition method, can be seen as a variant of the "|" grammar. The difference is that with the slash-line composition method, the picture gives a feeling of movement. The greater the angle of the slash, the stronger the feeling of movement.

Composition Routine 4: "#"
"#" word composition method, in fact, everyone usually sees a lot, is the nine squares. That is, in one picture, two horizontal lines and two vertical lines are divided, and then four intersections are obtained. At this point, you can create an unexpected picture effect by placing the main body of the picture on any intersection.

The safflower in the above work is the visual center of the picture, located at one of the four intersections. This is a way for the painter to guide the viewer's attention to the paintings according to his ideas.
Composition Routine Five: "Zhi" and "S"
The reason why the "Zi" and "S" characters are put together here is because the two kinds of composition methods have a commonality, that is, tortuosity, which makes the picture feel fluid. They are often used to express curved rivers and rivers, or for women to look good.

This illustration works well with the composition of the "Zi" and "S". The female body is an S-shaped curve, and the rivers in the distance, including the position of the sailboats in the river, are the use of the word "zhi". If you look carefully, you will find that this image also uses a slash composition. Therefore, composition is not rigid and needs to be flexibly applied and combined according to the theme you want to express.
Composition Routine Six: "â–²"
“▲†is like a mountain, giving people a sense of stability and solidity, so it is often used to express the height of a character, or to praise the majesty of nature.

In addition, there is an inverted triangle composition. It will be more lively than a regular triangle.
Composition Routine Seven: "O"
The "O" character is the circular composition method. This composition gives the picture a compact feel that continually directs the person's line of sight to the center of the circle, creating a visual focus.

Among the above two works, the first one has two circles, which is a circle created by humans. The second one uses the natural environment itself (cavern) to create a circular effect, which makes the viewer's eyes unconscious. Stay on the girl's body.
Above, Xiao Bian explained several common composition methods in combination with specific cases, including "one", "|", "/" "\", "#", and "zhi". , "S" word, "â–²" word, "O" word.
You can first keep these kinds of composition methods in mind, and then practice and explore more when you draw illustrations. When you enjoy some excellent illustrations, you can also try to analyze and learn how to compose them. A better training method is: before starting to draw, first combine the black and white structure and draw a few small drafts until you find a better composition.
Composition principle
If you are a lazy cancer patient and feel that these composition methods are too cumbersome, at least remember some basic principles (serious face) when composing a picture.
One. The composition should have a visual center, which is the focus of your picture. Usually, in an illustration, a visual center is enough, otherwise it will cause viewers to "do not know where to look".
two. Try to avoid parallelism and symmetry, unless you are purposefully parallel or symmetrical, and want to create a sense of ritual. Of course, symmetry is also a way of composition.

The third is to pay attention to the balance of color blocks and colors. It is necessary to avoid the uniformity and weight of the three color blocks of black, white and gray. At the same time, we must pay attention to breaking the balance of color in the warmth, strong, and thick. This is also a technique to improve the layering of the picture.

Most of the colors in the illustration above belong to the same color, but we don't think it is monotonous. Because the artist changed the brightness and purity of the color, it enriched the picture.
The basic routine of the composition is mentioned here first. Finally, one more sentence: composition is especially important for the creation of graphic art, and the illustrator must learn! In addition to practicing painting more often, photography is also a good way to practice composition. After all, art is the same, right!
