Category of linear sketching
The so-called linear sketch is a form of sketching that uses lines alone to express phenomena and forms, which belongs to the category of sketching. Linear sketching has the formal characteristics of sketching (e.g., linear sketching also focuses on the instantaneous existence of the depicted object; It also pays attention to the general representation of the depicted object; At the same time, we also pay attention to the representative demeanor of the depicted object at the moment and the first feeling of the painter. ）
The quintessence of linear sketching
First of all, we should understand that linear sketching is a sketch with pure line modeling, and the linear surface or the surface and light and dark tones in the linear sketch cannot be seen in the picture. The shape of the face is replaced by the "face" shaped by the line; The expression of the relationship between light and dark is also completed through the arrangement of the sparse lines, virtual and real, etc. Lines are the essence of linear sketching.
The substantiality of all kinds of lines
Straight line: It has masculine characteristics, and it is a kind of beauty that can be expressed with strength, stability, and strength. It is divided into thick straight lines, thin straight lines, horizontal lines, vertical lines, and diagonal lines. Thick straight line: it has a strong, dull and heavy feeling;
Thin straight line: with a delicate and sharp feeling; Horizontal: Peaceful, silent, and stable. the feeling of stillness;
Vertical line: with a sense of admiration, seriousness, solemnity, nobility and rigidity;
Slash: It has a jumping, upward feel, and a sense of movement.
Geometric curves: It is a relatively regular curve and a symbol of femininity. It has a warm and sensual character relative to straight lines. The curves have a sense of speed, power, elasticity, simplicity and clarity.
Free Curve: It has a feeling of freedom and elegance. It is mainly reflected in its natural stretch and elasticity, the whole curve looks unrestrained and compact, if the free curve does not have elasticity and tension, it appears weak and weak, lacks rhythm, and therefore has no beauty at all.
Conditions that accentuate the visual focus
【Density of the line】
The picture is sparse and dense throughout the composition, and the densest or most scattered places tend to become the visual focus of the picture (in the picture below, the top is dense and the skirt is sparse). The virtual and the real in the picture are two opposite aspects, like black and white; The two complement each other and are mutually conditional. Therefore, there is no such thing as emptiness without reality; In the same way, without emptiness, reality would not exist. This is why the picture should pay attention to the combination of virtual and real.
【The Void and Reality of the Line】
The virtual reality of the spatial hierarchy determines the overall visual effect of the whole plane, the relationship between the form and the performance of the primary and secondary visual images in the spatial hierarchy. Therefore, in the process of painting, we must rely on the technique of using lines to express the virtual and real effects of the shapes. (e.g. the contrast between the contour line of the garment and the folds of the garment).
【Complexity and simplicity of the line】
In the linear sketch, the space of the picture can be expressed with the weight of the tone. In linear sketching, the only tool and element of modeling is the line, so in order to enrich the picture, we must pay attention to the "complexity and simplicity" of the line and the repetition and density of the shape.
The "complexity and simplicity" of the line can form a black, white and gray relationship, distinguishing the weight of the object and the position of the front and back. Properly used "complicated" lines or shapes can increase the emotional color of the picture and enhance the appeal. Then we should pay attention to the length and thickness of the line in the repetition of the line, too many repeated lines are also easy to form a monotonous, irritable, boring visual experience of the picture, which requires everyone to grasp the scale of contrast and use it appropriately.
【Thickness of the thread】
In addition, the performance of thin lines and a small number of thick lines reflects a high-profile image, which can express a light and lively formal effect; The combination of thick lines and thin lines presents a low-key and solid effect.
How to arrange the picture
It does not rely on light and shade, does not rely on the accuracy of depiction, it can exist independently of material objects.
Its performance focuses on the arrangement of the composition of the picture: how to express the length, thickness and direction of the line; how to express space through sparseness, virtual and real; how to express emotions with the help of lines; Consider how to express the black, white, and gray rhythms of the picture, and so on. "Writing" is the essence of linear sketching.
In the "linear" understanding of sketching, the structural form is determined by the turning, interspersing, and penetration of the line. The turning point of the line should have both primary and secondary factors. (For example, the structural shape of the hand joints and hips in the following works, as well as the primary and secondary changes of the line).
Notable conditions for linear sketching
[1] In the linear sketch of the character, it is necessary to understand the internal structure that determines the shape of the character, rather than just looking at the shape of the character. This directly determines the decisiveness, certainty, and accuracy of your lines in the sketching process.
[2] The quality of the line is an important factor in determining the sketch of the character.
The line in the sketch should not only have a sense of coherence, rhythm and more importantly, a sense of strength, and the pen should be pertinent and simple, and avoid floating lines.
[3] The change of lines is the main expressive factor in character sketching.
[4] The secondary clothing lines are lighter, and they generally rise and fall. Decorative pattern lines are the lightest, and generally rise and fall. The skin line is thin and elastic, and it is generally used as a pen for the center.
