Illustrations in literary works are re-creations by painters on the basis of loyalty to the ideological content of literary works. They have independent artistic value and have therefore become an important variety of plastic arts. Good illustrations are not only an interpretation of literature from a modeling perspective, but also an extension of literary themes. They use space, structure, color, perspective, volume, and texture to form a new realm through points, lines, surfaces, and the author's personality.

The basic standard for learning illustration whether it is reliable or not: whether there is a trial class.
There are indeed many places to learn illustration now, and they are all mixed up, which makes many students confused. How should they choose? There is a saying that is good, just talk without practicing tricks. To judge how good a place of study is, you must at least look at the other person's strength first. The trial class is to see where the other person's strength is best, and at the same time look at the quality of the course. How is it? If even the trial class is not taught well, then the other classes will be even more useless. And if you choose to study, you should choose a big school, so you are guaranteed.
If you don’t know where to look, you can go to the online class I studied before. That’s where I studied. Every night at 8 o’clock, there will be a master painting teacher giving free live broadcasts on illustration boards. The painting course is online. The teacher's lectures are easy to understand and humorous. He can also explain the painting skills that trouble everyone in a simple and clear way. Watching the teacher's video is much better than reading a book. One class can solve many of your problems. You can also learn about the development issues of the entire industry. Anyway, it is free, so you can listen to it. The lectures are given in the evening and will not delay your work or study during the day. Students who want to listen can enter Weixin (homophone):
The first group in the front is: gon_浯文膤蟟叟域蔷槭 reel 699_Just combine the above two sets of numbers in order. Note: Original painting.
Since students like to learn board drawing illustrations, then give it a try and give yourself a chance. Only by trying can you know whether you are the material, instead of always wandering around in your inner world and wasting your talents. It is irresponsible to oneself.
The earliest illustrations in China appeared in the form of prints. With the introduction of Buddhist culture, "disguised" illustrations were used to illustrate scriptures in scriptures in order to promote doctrines. Current historical records record the earliest printmaking work in my country, the "Dharani Sutra Mantra" published during the reign of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty. The exact date is recorded on the title page of the "Vajra Prajna Sutra" written in the ninth year of Xiantong, Yizong of the Tang Dynasty (868).
In the Song, Jin and Yuan dynasties, book illustrations made great progress. The scope of application expanded to medical books, historical geography books, archaeological catalogs, daily encyclopedias and other books, and color overprinted illustrations appeared. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it can be said that ancient illustration art developed greatly, and there was a book engraving industry all over the country. Different regions have developed different styles.
