What is Guo Chao's illustration of Guo Chao? Literally, it can be understood as the trend culture with national characteristics in China. The characteristics of "national tide" are mainly manifested in two points. First, the core is traditional culture, and second, it has a sense of fashion when it is integrated with the current trend. "Tide brand" is the refinement, deconstruction and reorganization of a certain cultural element, with the coat of the brand as the carrier. Meet contemporary young people's pursuit of culture and fashion. With Chinese people's confidence in China's traditional culture, "national tide" has become the darling of young people in recent years. Where is the "national tide"? Street brand originated from American street culture. Stucy and Supreme are the most representative brands. Stussi's signature is the epitome of graffiti culture in 1970s. Supreme is paying tribute to skateboarding culture. In the 1990s, the United States came to Japan. The collision between Asian introversion and this trend has produced a chemical reaction, which is represented by the appearance of "Japanese tide" tooling. On the one hand, the widespread popularity of American tide and Japanese tide stems from the pioneering and individual design style, on the other hand, it also stems from the brand's profound understanding and manifestation of the local cultural connotation. It can be seen that a mature Guo Chao brand must be avant-garde and unique externally, which can capture the appetite of the younger generation, but its core is also deep and heavy, which cannot be separated from the cultural genes that have been precipitated for thousands of years. Culture can not only inspire the voices of national individuals, but also give brand value and make the cold design symbols come alive. The Application of National Tide in Illustration The style characteristics of National Tide Illustration: The use of China elements combined with the current popular techniques to express modern people and things. The color matching, composition and elements of the picture have a strong Chinese style. National tide illustration types: thin line type and rough graffiti type A- thin line type 1. Composition: Flowing clouds. This kind of illustration mostly divides the picture by auspicious clouds and tides. The picture is blank, the artistic conception is outstanding, and there will be a sense of Chinese painting. 2. Color: Mo Landi, with small color span and relatively low saturation. The overall tone of the picture generally adopts adjacent colors, such as red, orange and blue-green tones. 3. Techniques: Use the line drawing technique of traditional Chinese painting with gold to increase the modernity of the picture. Delicate lines will increase the fineness of the picture. 4. Elements: auspicious clouds, tides, green hills, traditional patterns, lanterns, etc. Representative Illustration: Victo Ngai For some novices, I recommend copying the works of Victo Ngai and Chinadaily, which are worthy of our patient study and consideration in terms of composition and color. Another exaggerated national fashion style is the combination of street graffiti and China elements. B—— graffiti type 1. Composition: the theme is prominent and there is no clear requirement. Generally similar to graffiti style, the picture will be much fuller. 2. Color: high saturation and strong contrast, and the color is also controlled at 1-3. Techniques: thick lines+bright colors+exaggerated modeling. 4. Elements: national tide illustrations such as auspicious clouds, tides, green hills, traditional patterns and lanterns. The style and characteristics of Guo Chao illustrations are as follows:

1. Common illustrations in national tide style, with rich and delicate lines, even colors and low saturation. The overall Chinese style is heavy but exquisite and durable, with a wider scope of application.

There are many lines in the picture, but the lines will be thinner. Basically, lines are used as bones to shape every object, and the overall color is more unified.

3. Lines are an important part, and the number of lines determines the fineness of your picture.

4. A picture has 1-3 general color systems to form an illustration.

5. The color is not fixed, but it can be light and bright, paying more attention to the performance of ink painting and the paper texture of the picture to reflect the characteristics of Chinese style.

6. Creating with the texture of rice paper or kraft paper background will give people a stronger Chinese flavor, and the background will be treated with ink.

7. Some colors in the picture are antique, the overall color is less, the saturation is lower, some are gorgeous, and the saturation is higher, but the overall color is not too much, and there is a general color range. You should control the number of your own colors.

National tide style illustration is an illustration that combines Chinese style elements with trend elements, and uses Chinese style elements to draw people and things that appear. The color matching, composition and elements of the picture should have obvious Chinese flavor.

At that time, national illustrations were popular, and she also considered taking such a list, but found that the requirements for creation were not suitable for her, so she refused.
