🎨 【Hand-drawn map of China】The secret of province painting is revealed! 🌟 🏞️ Hello everyone~ Recently, I have been super fascinated by hand-drawn maps, and I feel that there are countless histories and stories hidden under the strings of lines! Especially the map of China, the colorful provinces, is simply an endless storybook. 📚 Let's share how to draw these provinces elegantly today! 1️⃣ Tool Preparation: - Pens: Pencils or markers with fine cores are good for easy modifications. - Paper: A4 paper or illustration paper is fine, you can come as big as you want! - Color: Watercolor, marker or colored pencil, your choice. 2️⃣ Contour Positioning: It is a smart way to outline the general outline of the map of China first, and copy the outline from the map of the standard scale first. Then, find the main mountain and river locations as reference points to feel more reliable! 3️⃣ Province breakdown: - Eastern Three Provinces: Put it down like three little chicken legs. - Xinjiang Tibet: A long strip with a semi-arc, like a chocolate sauce on a sweet cake. - Sichuan, Guangxi, Yunnan: Three little fat men next to each other. - The two lakes and Guangzhou are divided into two compartments, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are adjacent to each other, and it is very intuitive to draw their locations and furnishings, after all, the two major water systems of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River still occupy an important place in memory. 4️⃣ Coloring process: Planning the color matching of the province in advance will get twice the result with half the effort! For example, yellow savannah - Xinjiang uses bright yellow; Green multi-woodland - light green in Guangdong; There are more snow lines in northern Xinjiang, which can be considered to be presented with a gradient of cold blue. 5️⃣ Add details: Don't forget the layering of the river shoreline and the mountain system, highlighting the intersection of the inland and the ocean is really the essence. 😊 ✨ Special note: The details of the Bolt are balanced, making the painting look gradually refined. Draw the outline first and then draw the details, and the overall sense of consistency is even better! Hurry up and take action in your workbook or sketchbook, and let your soul take a little trip~ 🧳 Hidden benefit time: If you are really interested in the map of China, you can get it for free
