I don’t know if I just started painting, have I ever encountered such a situation: I originally looked at a well-painted painting, and the level was flipped (not the child-painted paper, which can be seen from the opposite side through the sunlight). It is impossible to find a character or an object that is drawn.

It seems to be the original shape as seen by the mirror. Obviously, I want to draw a perfect circle. When I flip it, it becomes flat. I want to draw a correct house. When I flip it, I feel like I’m being blown by the wind...

First, the situation is different before and after the flip

[lifting chestnuts]

Keke~ Xiaobian secretly took a picture of a loli that was painted by a colleague when he first learned the board:

At first glance, you can, ah, novice, this color pink and tender, is a chubby little loli!

Let’s take a look at the little Lolita after the screen flipped: How did you suddenly find it a big face! ? what happened! ?


So why is there such a situation as flipping to death? Let's take a look at these 5 reasons together with Xiaobian!

1. Preconceived concept

There is a preconceived notion in human psychology. When you have accepted that the character you are painting is like this, it has already occupied a dominant position in your mind, and it is difficult for you to have the consciousness to change it. And if someone else wants you to change it, you will have an uncontrollable sense of resistance in your heart.

2, visual habits

Is it very strange, why the painting is painted, the face is smashed, but it is not self-aware, and it looks particularly pleasing to the eye. This reason is very simple, because you have been watching it for a long time, and you are used to it. Even if it is not right, it is very comfortable to look at it. However, once you flip and change a little bit locally, you will find that something is wrong!

Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to change the inherent observation mode, and use other tools, or more to flip the picture to observe and modify.

3, the dominant role of the left and right brain

1 The abstract thinking of the left brain is “symbolic thinking.” When painting, when the left brain dominates, it will not be able to control its own subconscious mind to abstract the painted object and symbolize it, leading to painting only Follow here is the nose, here is the mouth, and will not consider the structure of the object is different, to be changed. But when the picture is flipped, it is impossible to find its own symbolic thinking, and suddenly it will be strange.

For example, the following picture shows a very image of a dog's head: "When you just learn to draw, you don't understand perspective."

2 The figurative thinking of the right brain is “perceptual thinking”. When painting, force yourself to visualize the observation with the right brain, remove the symbolic thinking, and the way of observing objects will change from abstract to figurative, and you will find that you used to Points and problems that are hard to notice. For example, the dog's mouth mentioned above is very obvious.

3 Of course, when the real big cow is drawing, it is the two kinds of thinking to switch at any time. The two are indispensable. However, for beginners, it is already very good to be able to achieve "symbolic" thinking.

4, the natural response of the human body

1 painting habitual posture

The wrong posture can also cause problems in painting, such as being too close to the drawing board and the head is very sharp. At this time, if you are too close to the drawing board, it will produce perspective. When you finish drawing, you will find that the painting is distorted. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to maintaining a correct sitting posture, and the drawing should be farther away from the drawing board.

(When I was young, my head was too close to my homework, my mother’s slap was forgotten!)

2 natural movements of the hand

When the human hand draws a movement, the wrist will form an inner arc movement. Therefore, when drawing a straight line, the right end of the horizontal line will bend slightly downward (if the left scorpion, it should be slightly bent downward on the left side). This behavior is the cause of the human body structure. It has become a habit of the body and its inherent observation. The way is not strange.

But when the picture is flipped, the curvature of this line changes to the left, so the inherent way of observation is switched to a unique way of observation, you will feel how the picture is so strange, the perspective is not right, the line is not straight. The shape is also distorted.

can. However, for beginners, it is already very good to be able to achieve "symbolic" thinking.

5, lack of space awareness

This problem has a certain relationship with the basic skills. The basic structure of the object has not been fully grasped by beginners. When drawing, a three-dimensional space is not established in the mind for understanding. When painting objects, they are only copying their shape and outline, which often results in a "flat" result.

When a newcomer is working on a draft, especially the human body, it is forbidden to be ambiguous. It is necessary to calm down and carefully structure the structure, and then find the body and proceed to the next step.

Second, solve the method of flipping death

1, look at the angle of the map, observe!

1 When you are a beginner, learn to borrow a pencil (you can buy a pencil extender with a large screen) to measure the slope. Be sure to straighten your hand, and keep your arms straight when you go to the amount, so that the amount is accurate.

2When you can tell whether the line you are drawing is straight or the shape is irregular, train your eyes, the picture should be far away, stop from time to time, back a distance, observe your own picture .

2, frequent flip check, change!

When the novice has just touched the board, the body proportion and perspective are not understood, then the best way is to flip the screen and change it on the flipped screen! Then turn over and draw for a while! Then continue to turn over and draw for a while! When you draw, you can turn it over and over. After the completion, the effect will be much better.

Moreover, during practice, flipping the screen will develop a habit. In the future, when you draw, you will unconsciously flip and view the correction. This method will benefit for life. Of course, if the drawing tools used are not suitable for flipping, then you can only refer to other methods.

3, practice the basic structure, lay the auxiliary line!

1 Object modeling in nature is composed of simple geometry, which combines, mutates or mutates to form complex and rich results. Therefore, when we observe their form, we must first be able to refine and generalize their basic geometric structure.

2 When novice painting, grasp the type of the object to be painted, do not erase the structure line too early, always take the structure line to find the shape and position of each part.

3 If you have a complex object, we can generalize its shape into a simple shape, and analyze its mutual relationship in space, then put it into a space box to find their front and side. When it is needed to reverse the direction, it can also be accurately and vividly expressed.


4, exercise the right brain figurative thinking, let the memory "figure"!

1 You can often do small tests, such as: now do not find any reference, immediately recall the QQ and WeChat icons, (the blue pencil students can also recall the blue pencil icon) and then draw. You will find some details you may not remember, such as where you forgot the penguin's scarf is hanging down, the penguin which eyes are closed; there are several dialog boxes in the WeChat icon, there are several in the dialog box. point.

If you can clearly remember, then congratulations, you will not be so easy to flip the dead ~

2 When observing an object, train your own figurative thinking, and the memory method can be changed like this: there is a shadow here, here is the intersection of light and dark, here is the bright side, how to deal with these places. If the right brain is well trained, the picture will not be flipped, and the problem can be seen.

Third, the conclusion

See you here, find the problem when you draw? I hope that you can learn the methods that Xiaobian said today to avoid flipping death, and use it well!

Do not say, Xiaobian is going to flip his painting to check it out...
