You may not be able to find good material, or do not know how to draw lessons from it. Fortunately, this article will help you.

Hello, everyone, I'm a cake that hasn’t started to get rid of the illustrator circle. Today, talk with everyone seriously [painting reference] this stuff.

The reason for this is because there are blue pencil students asking such questions:

1. I like painting very much, but I don't know how to contact and use such materials when I paint. How do I start and strengthen training?
2. For those who have procrastination, they often desperately browse the material before drawing a picture, and then suddenly a certain nerve is confused and starts sorting the material. Is this okay?

In the drawing of human poses, we all understand that “we want to find the corresponding reference map”, but many times it is not clear how to refer, what kind of reference to look for, or see the reference is still a mess ~ do not know reference ?


As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do good, he must first sharpen his tools. If we want to draw well, first we must have good tools and we must use them smoothly. At the same time, we should also have a certain amount of [reference consciousness] - the more people who draw better, the better they will refer to and learn from. The ordinary people refer to some ready-made photographs and exercises; while the artists refer to nature, they give people a feeling of fortitude.

Of course we should understand one thing: why do paintings look at references?

This problem is not difficult to answer: After all, we humans are only part of the grand world. Our own understanding of the structure of the objective world is not complete. Even if you have done more copying, you will find that people's understanding is so limited compared to the true nature. Want to remember all the rich structure and details of nature in one breath? Next life!


In the final analysis, the reference is something that can be used by oneself and built on the basis that it can bring inspiration.

Another point is that our brain cannot store all the content. It is impossible to understand all the history of art—something more or less beyond our cognitive category. The problem that easily arises in painting is the inherent thinking of inertia, especially when we are doing concept design and when it comes to designing blind spots for ourselves, reference is particularly necessary.


Through appropriate reference, we can make up for our understanding of a thing. In the painting process, we need to understand a lot of things. We will find that the reality in terms of richness and complexity far exceeds our understanding. This is the reference to the greatest significance. Where

So, how should we find a reference that meets the standards?

In fact, the most fundamental method is to have the ability to analyze reference, not just a picture can be used for reference, we more to analyze the information that this picture can bring us.

First of all, we can find pictures or photos on petal or tumblr, or find some other people's works as reference. These two references have different problems to solve. The picture will help you to understand the real person's object state and the relationship of each part; Looking at other people's works as a reference, you can learn how other outstanding painters deal with this issue.

The reference is very necessary, has been analyzed above, we usually refer to can solve the problem in two directions:
(1) Creative reference
(2) Cognitive reference

Let's say we want to draw a piece of human dynamics. First of all, how much do we know about the human body? What are the parts of our body? What kind of posture is referenced? How should you express it on the drawing? These are our problems. With these problems we are looking for references to strengthen our understanding.


Real photo reference, which has a lot of shape relationships, size relationships, brightness contrast, looks very rich, these information is when we are drawing, a very good guide.

Although all of them are human, different painters have different understandings of human form. The work of Taiwanese painter Krenz is a model of human practice, and each part of the human body is regarded as a corresponding body block. Therefore, when looking for references, we also need to analyze and look at it. Many cognition improvements and object image understandings are hidden in the reference.

Want to practice the human body, there is no condition for sketching. So how do you look for a large number of pictures of the human body as a reference? It is best to build a powerful "arsenal library" yourself. When you need it, pick a few at random. There used to be a big god to find inspiration for painting, and set all his “collections” as a desktop loop play mode. During leisure time, it’s really time to try.

Here are some ways to find a reference for painting:

1. Encyclopedia of Painting: WikiPaintings

WikiPaintings is an encyclopedia website. There are many functions in the development of the website, but the current level of detail is already astounding. The goal of the site is to include all genres, all painters of all ages, everything from cave paintings to modern art.

Right ~ you can search for specific [keywords] accurate query Oh!

2. Collecting scientific illustrations

3, collection of historical photos

Some historical documents or old newspapers have historical photographs

4. Collect all the games, movies, animation settings you can find


The picture shows the game set of Dark Souls

The picture shows the characters in "Song of Ice and Fire"

5, collect photo maps

You can also collect the pictures you find on the petals, of course, just the sentence you just wrote (not every picture is suitable for reference). In fact, the beautiful posture is very easy to match: the handsome posture of the gun is just a few, and the beautiful dynamics are just a few. Most of the human postures are just fine-tuning on the basis of the original foundation. Your task is to Intently find these kinds of things and form your own exclusive.

(Place a photo of "West World" stills!)
A predecessor of Douban, GK Dongshan Institute once said: "Artistically, there is no pure originality. They always come from all around us. We see, hear, read. Combine them and use knowledge. With experience processing, this is the philosophy of artistic creation."

Translating into a vernacular is --- "Art comes from life, it is higher than life." I wish you all a good year..........HO [smiling face]
