This process is aimed at this picture, after all, the content of the picture is different, the story is different, the way of expression will be very different. But some of the thinking things I think is common, modelling, color, detail is the key, of course, the prerequisite is to have a good story. Hope to be helpful to friends who like flash vector illustrations
Look at the effect chart first.
Below is the line draft
First line: Before the draft and conceptual steps omitted, Flash hook line, in order to facilitate the modification of lines and fill color, suggest different parts with different line color. Note that the flow of lines and the accuracy of the structure, this step needs to be adjusted repeatedly
Two filling little Dragons basic color: I am accustomed to the picture of objects separate to draw, clear, also easy to modify. The base color of dragons is green, can be summed up, the hand gradient is also used color block to show, not fade (this is my personal preference). Attention to the overall tone of the coordination, the color of the light and shade, the three-dimensional sense is based on the body's structure to deal with, lighting to unify.
Three plants: the plant's fill color and dragons are basically consistent, just note that the light source to the dragon to maintain a direction. Because the dragon is also green, so when dealing with plants consciously to do not, such as a little yellow, or olive.
Four flower flowers: The flower is a small bright spot in the picture, so the color and texture can distinguish little dragons and leaves, but do not use too pure color, will feel dazzling, broken ring overall picture soft.
Five patterns and beans: Dragons of the pattern is a separate layer, so easy to modify. The shape of the bean can vary, but the color pattern and the light source should be unified.
Six water droplets: the treatment of water droplets can have a light sense, I did not choose a gradient fill, because the screen is basically the method of induction, so in the process of absorbing the surrounding environment color, with the brush directly painted.
Seven adjustments at this time basically all the components are finished, put together, adjust the position, the relationship between each other, especially the shadow.
Eight add details: In order to make the picture more delicate and strong, you can add some small details to the final structure, which can be compared to the previous one.
Nine background complete: In fact, the background of the story is a good start, but because do not know the final appearance, so I put in the final painting, so better grasp the overall atmosphere and tone.
