Try to deepen and shallow as little as possible, and try to bring out the transition zone directly with a pressure sensitive pen.
Does anyone know how Chen Shufen's paintings are drawn? I should draw it myself first, and then do it in photoshop.

cause
Chen Shufen, like the women in her novels, has a delicate and charming appearance. Fair skin makes people ask, "How to maintain it?" But surprisingly, Shu Fen has a chivalrous character. No wonder people are fascinated by being so frank, straightforward, generous and cheerful. Knowing her is like meeting a blooming hibiscus by the lake.
Securities profession and the turning point of stepping into society
As a matter of fact, I already like painting. I started looking for a job when I graduated, and later I got a part-time job as an illustrator, drawing cards. Then I was very happy and started painting. The most interesting thing is that after more than ten years, those cards can still be seen in the Christmas market every year, but my name is not written on them, only my signature.
But after painting for a while, I joined a securities company. Because painting is not serious enough, I can't draw a few pictures all year round, and I can't support myself at all. But she was still at home at that time, and my mother never got over it. She thinks that a normal person should have a job and should not be so lazy. Then I really hung out at home. I slept until the afternoon, and then I didn't get up hungry and didn't wake up for a long time. Then everyone went to sleep at night and I woke up alone. Later, my mother introduced me to a securities company. So after I went in, I actually continued to draw illustrations, but the speed was slower, because I was already working, so I only drew one picture a year.
At that time, the securities company was very relaxed. When the company was established, the economy was very good, and when it really started, the economy became very bad. At that time, the stock market crashed to about 2000 points, and some departments of the company had nothing to do. There were too many people, so I was very idle. Of course, the company has its own countermeasures, that is, assigning some employees to busy departments, like me, and being assigned to stock agents, the work will never be finished. But although I am busy with my work, I never work overtime, because I can't finish it until I finish it. I can't finish working overtime anyway. Later, I began to consider leaving my job, but my mother found many high-level introductions, so when I suddenly left my job, I didn't expect anyone to introduce me, so I went to find a job myself.
But I didn't find a suitable job at that time, and suddenly I found that the cover of the novel could be painted. Then I started calling those publishing houses and happened to meet a gentle editor-in-chief, so I drew the cover of the novel in that publishing house. After painting for a while, I left my original job in a securities company with confidence. From then on, I dare not hang out there. Although I was not so serious at first, I think I can earn money to support myself at least every month.
But in fact, I didn't support myself at that time, just paid some money. I didn't have any concept of occupation at that time, but I still regarded this job as a part-time job. It was not until I met the ordinary that I changed my mind. Then there are letters from readers. I didn't expect someone to suddenly feel guilty because they saw the picture and then wrote to me. Originally, I painted because I was happy, and I didn't care much about how others felt when they saw the pictures. But when a stranger writes to me, I care a little about face at first. When the painting is not good, I am afraid that people will think this person is ugly!
Family opposition
When I was a student, my family was actually very opposed. I even prefer watching TV to painting, because when our country is obsessed with painting, my daily life has changed from dozing off reading books every night to painting. When I didn't sleep at two or three in the morning, my mother would come in and say, "It's late enough, it's time for bed! In addition, the family has stipulated sleeping time since childhood, but strangely, I just can't see the time to read. I will stare at a page of textbooks for two or three hours. When my mother finds it, she will ask, "You have been watching that page of English textbooks for too long! 」
The favorite of painting.
I like painting best, but I'm not as good as painting. For me, painting is just for later coloring, just like a fill-in-the-blank game. In order to draw popular ancient costumes, I bought many books on ancient Chinese costumes, accounting for one third of all books. Then, the costumes of the Qing dynasty are the most complicated, especially the figures like Gege, but if they are not gorgeous, they are not like clean clothes.
When I was a child, I liked ancient costumes very much. I would pick up curtains as sleeves of ancient costumes. But to be honest, painting ancient costumes was very painful at first, because the folds of cloth are very important. I think the folds of the fabric are charming, but I can't draw them myself, so I felt very depressed at that time.
Next is the pattern of clothes. The pattern of clothes is also important, but I can't draw it well. So when I first started painting ancient costumes, I felt very frustrated, because I felt like a beggar, wearing that kind of plain rags, but ancient costumes are very realistic, and they only need to be gorgeous and bright to look beautiful. Just like kimono, it is cheap and expensive, which can be seen from a distance. In recent years, there is a great demand for ancient costumes, so there are many opportunities for me to practice constantly, and the more I paint, the greater my interest.
I like painting people before, which is natural. When I was about ten years old, I remember a teenage girl whose hair was cut short in some way. She just looked beautiful. Anyway, I will pay special attention to some beautiful things.
Later, sometimes when I see a beautiful star, I will paint the star for a while, but now I will pay attention to the issue of portrait rights, because some star agencies don't like others to paint their stars, some people will be happy, and of course some people will be unhappy. So later I began to draw people I knew around me, or I would see some beautiful young ladies at the signing ceremony. Sometimes I have the cheek to leave my phone number and ask them to take pictures.
How do Chen Shufen's illustrations of classical beauty show it? The speed of hand-drawing is really a bit slow. If you use PhotoShop software, you can directly select "filter-special blur" and then "edit-draw outline", and basically that effect will be achieved.
Of course, it would be better if hand-drawing combined with software! Chen Shufen's classical beauty works have a particularly clear outline-in other places, I feel that a few strokes are lightly swept with light colors and have a poetic taste, which can well reflect the soft poetry of watercolor, the clear and transparent water and the soft and elegant yarn-which is very suitable for depicting classical young, pure and intelligent women!
You can draw the outline by hand, show a clear outline, pay attention to the transformation of soft strokes-then paint it with software, and finally do post-processing, such as blurring, softening edges, feathering, overlapping and so on. In the process of processing, pay attention to the adjustment of the overall tone of the picture to maintain a soft light color.
