What does trade mean in drawing. Headshot - what is it? Modern slang and its analogues

Hello, my name is Wave! And this is my lineart tutorial!

I will be using the drawing of Megaman X and Zero, as well as other drawings drawn by me in the Lineart genre!

Heroes X (Megaman X) and Zero (Zero) belong to Capcom (C). Megaman 2 was my first video game.

INTRODUCTION

My name is Wave! I am a girl who loves science fiction and who plans to become a manga artist or colorist for Marvel someday!

In this lesson, I will talk about many things at once, so the lesson VERY verbose. The main focus is on digital drawing techniques.

But just because it's a digital technique doesn't mean it can't be applied to a regular drawing too!

There is not much difference when drawing ":)" on a computer or ":)" on paper!

But still, I won't go into too much detail on the drawing process... I'll teach you my techniques that I use to achieve crisp, even Line Art drawings. :)

TRADITIONAL MATERIALS

Rulers!

Rulers should always be at hand if you are drawing in perspective! The need for straight lines should not be underestimated. Others will always notice if you used a ruler or freehand.

Capillary pens

Capillary pens are perfect for outlining! Among them, I have no favorites ... I mean that everyone has their own preferences in choosing a capillary pen. I have used pens from brands such as Sakura, Microns, Prismas, Mars, etc. Just choose the one that you feel most comfortable drawing. I usually use 0.05 and 0.1 nib thickness pens.

Paper

If you ever find yourself in an artist specialty store, you will find special types paper size used to create patterns.

Of course, you can use regular printer paper too :)

DIGITAL MATERIALS

Graphic tablet for drawing

Tablets are amazing inventions!

It's like drawing on a drawing board, but the board is actually your mouse!

Factors such as pressure sensitivity and pen drawing make tablets almost indispensable for artists.

Paint Tool Sai

Paint Tool SAI is a program designed to digital drawing developed by the Japanese company SYSTEMAX. If you do not have this program yet, then you can find the download link in the Paint Tool SAI section :)

The main advantage of this program is the ability to trace vectors.

It's okay if you don't know what Vectors are - in this tutorial I will dwell on this topic in detail.

photoshop

photoshop photoshop!

On this moment this is definitely the most the best program for photo editing (at least I think so. :))

The main thing is that you have a tool Brush (Brush tool), as well as the rest of the tools that I will use in the Digital Line Art section!

SCANNING

Okay, let's say you already have a finished drawing!

It is carefully drawn, there are no unnecessary details and it's time to scan it!

Each scanner has a different interface, and I can't cover every known interface, so I hope you understand what I mean.

bitmap
- Grayscale
- color
- DPI (dots per inch)

First, set the scan mode to PROFESSIONAL.

In other scanners, this mode may be called: "Advanced Mode", "Working Mode".

Or you already have this mode set by default, and you just have to choose DPI and IMAGE TYPE.

First, let's deal with DPI :)

DPI stands for Dots Per Inch - Dots Per Inch. Accordingly, this means how much information your work has.

When you're drawing, people may sometimes ask, "Why don't you make big drawings?"

This is a difficult task, but at the same time, in this case, you will be able to draw more or add more "information" to the page!

This is a drawing of me and my other character - Suzaren!

It was scanned in COLOR AT 400 DPI.

400 DPI is a fairly high resolution, but it's ideal for printing. The higher the resolution (DPI), the more printable your drawings will be.

200 - rather low
300 - golden mean
600 - perhaps too high;)

The higher the resolution, the larger your file size will be.

REMEMBER, you can always compress a large image, but you can't enlarge a small one.

Why? Well, as I said, DPI is the amount of information. If you take a small image and try to enlarge it, the computer won't be able to do it because it simply won't have the information it needs.

Obviously, we will scan a color image with the Color Image setting. Some scanners may prompt you to select 8-bit or 16-bit color. Don't choose a color higher than 8. Always use the lowest setting for the color, as there's really no need to choose 16-bit - it will just increase the file size.

What if I want a very clear black and white drawing Lineart?
I scanned Suzarena in Black and White mode at 400 DPI. Please do not confuse black and white with SHADES OF GRAY. These are two different settings.

Note that depending on the brand of your scanner, this mode may be called Black and White Document or even Bitmap.

BLACK AND WHITE vs. GRAYSHADES

Hey! Stupid! Black and White and Shades of Grey! I told you that you are two completely different modes, only without fights!

I haven't edited anything :) As you can see, the Grayscale mode scans all gray areas on the sheet...even the paper itself. And if you look closely, you can see pencil marks.

When scanning in Black & White mode, the picture is scanned in white and black only, without any gray casts.

You can adjust the ratio WHITE And BLACK colors using "THRESHOLD". Just experiment with it :) When you move the threshold slider higher or lower, you add either more BLACK or WHITE to the drawing.

Okay, okay, you probably already understood the importance of high definition, but I want to show you this with an example.

The second drawing was scanned at resolution = 100 DPI, in Black and White mode.

High resolution is very important when scanning a picture in Black & White mode.

Using the Grayscale Mode:

If the drawing has pencil shading.
- If you have shades of gray that you want to keep in the picture.

Using Black & White mode:

If all the objects in the picture are outlined and you would like to get rid of the gray areas in order to scan only sharp bright black and white lines.

If you are using Photoshop and want to edit a drawing scanned in Black and White mode, then CONVERT IT TO GRAYSHONES.

IMAGE > MODE > GRAYSCALE

Make sure you do this before you start editing the image. Accordingly, if you work with color, then convert to RGB :)

IMAGE > MODE > RGB

DRAWING TIPS. LINES.

I just want to remind you that this is NOT a drawing tutorial. Drawing is a very long and painstaking process. But I will give you some hints that helped me.

Life experience in painting... Simply put - the more you paint pictures real life the more realistic your drawings will be.

Instructors may advise you to just go outside and start drawing what you see or attend artist classes where you can draw from human nature...

But not everyone can afford it...

With the development of the Internet and various electronic devices, no one is surprised by the appearance of electronic drawings made by various artists. Graphic tablets and modern programs make it easy to draw, color, edit and process the result of the work of "modern Picassos" without much difficulty. But, as you know, new opportunities give rise to new needs, so the speech of a certain circle creative people most often changes. Such deformations also affected artists.

Modern slang and its analogues

Find good artist used to be a whole trouble, not to mention the fact that the price of your own portrait, for which you have to pose for a couple of hours, sitting still, had to be negotiated in advance.

Paintings painted from a living person were indeed of some value, and, as we remember from history, the works of artists were often exhibited on place of honor in the house as the pride of the family. IN modern world everything is much simpler - it is enough to simply ask many pencil masters to draw something “for a chocolate bar”. And, if they are not too busy, they will gladly fulfill the request. That's what "request" means in today's web artist slang.

By the way, English has its own “request”. The meaning of the word here is specific - "request". Facebook, for example, has a Friend request function, that is, a request to be added to friends, but we use this word in a broader sense.

Other words from the lexicon of the authors

Such newfangled words came, of course, from in English. The tendency to dilute the language with other words is explained by the fact that English is easy enough for perception by many Internet users, and the words in it are simply shorter.

Even those who studied in art school, will hardly understand the modern designation of many. Therefore, the following dictionary may be useful:

• gift - a drawing for someone as a gift, from English word gift;
• art is, in principle, any drawing of the author, even drawn “out of nothing to do”;
• fanart - a drawing based on a work, using characters from there;
• sketch - a small sketch or sketch, a sketch in pencil;
• a request is a drawing "to order", and, as a rule, made for nothing, from the heart;
• collab - a joint work of two artists;
• trade - exchange of drawings between masters.

The most interesting thing is that modern web image gurus call a simple drawing on paper the word “traditional”, which means “traditional”, that is, ordinary. Indeed, between the drawings on graphics tablet in the editor and what is drawn by hand, sometimes there is a very big difference. But having mastered all the functions modern technology, artists develop their own own style. For many, completing a request is like doing a daily skill-building workout.

The word "request" in the modern Internet

This special slang is common not only among artists, but also among all Internet users, in principle. Visitors to many sites do not ask questions: what is the request, because even with basic knowledge of English, you can easily understand what is at stake.

Even someone new to the forum or social network will understand that a request is a request to do something specifically for a person, most often disinterestedly. For example, in the comments to those videos where they sing famous songs, many ask performers to sing something else from another singer's repertoire. This is a kind of "request" - a request, an offer.

And do not confuse this with "challenge", which means an open challenge. That is, a person declares that it is not possible for someone to do some thing, and the latter must prove the opposite. But this, as a rule, is mainly the Internet showdown of the creative community, which should not be delved into, and few people are interested in this. Most use the request, the value of which is already known.

Request execution examples

On many official pages artists, you can see how in the comments people “request” the performance of some crazy complex ideas or paintings. One of the first who began to fulfill such "requests" was one of the users entertainment portal under the nickname Chilik.

On his social media page network, you can see the album "Draw me ...", where he fulfills the requests of users. Following him, other illustrators and web artists, who communicate with their viewers in this way, picked up the trend to complete requests.

Requests for newbies

The most difficult thing to get used to in the new field of "Internet drawing" is for novice artists who have not yet developed a specific style of drawing. After all, a request is a very important task, even if it is an electronic drawing. So, before you start doing this kind of "orders", you need to. Many artists often work as illustrators or designers of web pages, and fulfilling someone's requests for them is another way to relax and take a break from work. And, of course, it is important that, first of all, a person likes to draw.

Portraits to order

And to this day the portrait remains a good gift a person for an anniversary or another holiday, that is, compared with the last century, technology has stepped far ahead in this regard. In many cities, modern design studios offer to purchase a drawing of a person made from his photograph. The trick is that any artist can redraw someone in a certain style.

For example, turn a modern dark-haired lady into a pin-up leaflet model from the 60s of the last century, and draw a royal family from a young couple or depict anything at the request of the client. This is also a kind of fulfillment of requests, only more professionally and already for money.

IN computer games ah, there are a large number of a wide variety of terms that originated a very long time ago and managed to take root very strongly. Accordingly, every gamer needs to know the basic concepts in order to understand what other players are talking about. For example, one of the most popular terms is headshot. It's a term that's used in a lot of games these days, and pretty much everyone knows what it means. But if you are just starting to play computer games, then it will be useful for you to know what a headshot is. This is a term that will help you understand some situations and calmly communicate with other gamers.

What it is?

So, first of all, you need to find out what this term means. In fact, everything is quite simple. A headshot is a headshot kill. This is a tracing paper from English, where the word is made up of two smaller words: head is translated into Russian as "head", while shot in this case"shot". The result is a "headshot", which, in fact, it is. Well, now you know what a headshot is. This is a good start, but there are a few more things you should know. important points, which will help you better navigate the world of computer games.

Scope of use

Naturally, you are unlikely to hear this term if you play a racing simulator or a quest. Why? The fact is that not in all genres you can shoot at all, let alone shoot aiming at the head. So the question arises, in which games there is a headshot? It is quite reasonable to assume that he most often appears in a variety of shooters, that is, in those games where you can shoot accurately at opponents. Of course, there are exceptions, and in some other games you can also get a headshot, but such cases are more likely to be exceptions to the rule.

Peculiarities

Now that you know that a headshot is a headshot, it's worth talking about what features this feature has. The fact is that in most computer games of our time, a headshot inflicts maximum damage, so the enemy immediately dies after such a hit. Naturally, this does not always happen, because many games still do not adhere to the concept of realism. For example, armor is not distributed locally, but over the entire body of the character, so a hit to the head may not kill.

Usage

Headshot is a very important element of almost any shooter. Each gamer tries to hit the enemy in the head in order to deal with him faster. Naturally, this is not so easy to do, so it does not always work out. However, in some cases this is made the main rule. For example, tournaments are held in which gamers must only kill opponents with headshots. As you can guess, the best gamers participate in such tournaments. After all, a player needs to train for months to achieve an excellent result.

The head is the smallest part of your opponent's body, so you need to aim very well to hit the head in almost every case. And given that all this happens on the move, you can only applaud those gamers who are able to make a large number of headshots. Naturally, we are not talking about shooting from sniper rifle, because it is much easier to hit the head through the scope. One way or another, a headshot is a very important element in almost any shooter, so every gamer should have an idea of ​​​​what it is. Also, you should train your accuracy to be able to headshot as often as possible. This will allow you to achieve incredible efficiency on the battlefield.
