2. Think of the bright part as one plane, the middle tone area as another plane, and the shadow (dark part) as the third plane. Simply draw these planes.
3. The emphasis on plane and simplification conveys the influence of poster art. ..
4. He has deep and ingenious thinking about Bao Liu, the middle tune and the dark part, and usually divides these parts into large pieces.
5. howard pyle used four kinds of lightness to let us know the following combinations: lightness part sets off the middle tone and darkness part; Light gray tone sets off bright and dark parts; Dark gray tones set off bright, dark and light gray tones; Dark parts set off bright parts and gray tones.
6. We can skillfully combine simple and complex patterns in the same painting. However, don't make all patterns the same.
7. After considering the pattern area of the theme, the next step is to consider the plane.
8. The painter may flatten the characters in the picture, try to form a block, try to find out the rhythm relationship, and even create destruction, as long as the destruction helps to improve the concept of the picture.
9. If there are too many complicated facets on the surface of the painted object, the painter should try to reduce these facets to several larger ones.
10. Remember, you should find enough planes to define the shape first and stop before the area becomes chaotic.
1 1. Connect highlights, midtones, and shadows, and then just add a facet that is enough to hint at hair characteristics. Shadows are easier to simplify than bright parts. Bright parts need to describe details and express texture, and shadows can be blurred. Usually, if the picture looks messy, it is because there are too many dark colors and midtones in the bright parts.
12. Edge processing can also play a great role in simplification. Too many sharp edges will confuse the theme and pattern, and also weaken the power of picture communication.
13. The edge of the object should be looming, and the whole picture should be integrated with a bright or dark background. The painter's duty is to blend all these together, interweave and mix the original independent patterns and polish them into beauty.
14. We can also simplify it by reducing the number of lightness.
15. The most effective way is to use about eight lightness, and each pattern is divided into two lightness.
