Combine the Joys of an Adult Coloring Book With the Convenience of a Notebook

Some people use hand-painted coloring as a decompression artifact, and some have regained the long-lost innocence. For a painting with zero foundation and no systematic learning of how to match colors, how can we paint a coloring book?

First of all, you need to choose the right brush: if you like a lighter color, you can buy oil-based paint. I like to buy water-soluble color lead with a darker color. After painting, it will have a watercolor effect, and the color will be fuller. Its refill is softer, and the color is bright and delicate. Recommend 36 colors, the colors are enough.

The second step is to imitate coloring: you have zero basics and are new to contact, the best way to learn is to imitate others. There are many people posting their own works on the Internet. Let's choose a work with rich colors to see its color choices and changes. The following is a painted work. You can draw a pair based on it first. On the one hand, you can increase your understanding of the drawing, and on the other hand, you can become familiar with the entire creative process.

Then you can try to analyze the elements: the original manuscript is as follows, black and white two-color line draft. Is this picture complicated or simple? What are the elements? The elements in the picture are flowers, leaves, big trees, and street lamps. Among them, leaves and flowers are also divided into many kinds, pay attention to details.

Choose the color: In this step, we have to choose the right color. The leaves are generally green (grass green, dark green, etc.). The background should not be blue, purple, etc., to make people feel cold, calm, and melancholic. Flowers are most suitable for choosing warm colors such as red and yellow, which have a prominent embellishment effect. In this step, you can give full play to your imagination, and the leaves can be painted with red leaves; but pay attention to the combination of multiple colors, otherwise it is easy to lose the level and make the theme dull.

Coloring sequence: The next biggest puzzle may be not knowing where to start? We need to have a coloring sequence, that is, from top to bottom, or from left to right. Generally, we start wherever the color is heavy, because the color can stabilize the picture. The other is to divide the picture reasonably, and paint a tree, a grass, and a street lamp as a whole, rather than a piece of leaf. Have fun.

Now, coloring has become a new round of trend, it is both refreshing and healing. By the way, you can also practice color matching and learn painting. Why not do it!
