Simple drawing is not a realistic painting, but a symbolic painting. Therefore, to express a complex object with simple drawings, the key is to establish symbol awareness: use symbols to summarize the world. With this idea, you can follow the following procedures when drawing: first clarify what are the main characteristics of the object (such as the big tail of a squirrel, the dark circles of a panda); then think about what symbols to use to draw it; and then add appropriate Some necessary details; finally, arrange the order of writing. If you can draw with one stroke, you don’t need two strokes.
The symbolic language of simple drawings is limited. Whether we can use limited symbols to express the infinitely rich world of Daqian can be simplified just right. The key is to grasp the characteristics that best express this object. Different types of objects can be easily distinguished even if they are not very similar, such as animals and plants, plants and people. It is not so easy to clearly distinguish similar objects. This requires careful observation, comparison and correct judgment. For example: among rice cookers of the same size and shape, the distinguishing feature of the rice cooker is not the appearance, but the connected wires and plugs. There are no two identical leaves in the world. As long as you observe and compare them carefully, you will always find the differences between them. Grasping the differences and exaggerating them is the essence of simple drawings.
Only when you practice to the point where the lines of your brush strokes are natural and smooth, full of charm, and can express objects with ease, can you hope to achieve higher artistic effects and aesthetic realm in simple drawings.
