hello everyone

This time I will talk about

"Flat illustrations about unity".

 

Before actually drawing the illustration

Let's summarize the characteristics of flat illustrations.

 

1. simple shape

2. being deformed

3. there is no rinkaku line

4. People often don't draw faces

 

These four characteristics are often seen in flat illustrations.

 

With that in mind, I will draw a flat illustration of Japanese sweets.

The base is now complete.

 

From here, we will create a color scheme to create a sense of unity.

The first pattern is a uniform color scheme with light colors.

It was completed.

In the case of a colorful color scheme, place the colors in a well-balanced manner while looking at the whole.

 

 

The colors used in this pattern are these 12 colors.

(Excluding the color of toppings and red bean paste)

I chose colors with various hues to give a gorgeous impression.

By unifying the saturation and lightness, it gives a sense of unity.

 

Next, we will create the second pattern.

The second pattern raises the saturation of the first pattern and lowers the brightness.

It became a clear color and a pop impression came out.

 

The colors used in this pattern are these 12 colors.

(Excluding the color of toppings and red bean paste)

These 12 colors also have the same saturation and brightness.

 

By unifying the saturation and brightness for both the first and second patterns,

Let's take a look at the case where there is a sense of unity, but there is no unity.

Only one of the 2nd pattern is mixed in the 1st pattern.

If you look closely, you can see that only the one in the center is floating.

It is effective when there is something that you want to stand out intentionally

If you want to create a sense of unity, you should unify

The next step is to create a color scheme that narrows the range of hues.

 

Make one with the eight colors on the left and one with the eight colors on the right.

(Excluding the background, toppings, and red bean paste color)

 

First is the color scheme on the left.

It was completed.

It has a modern feel to it.

 

Next is the color scheme with the 8 colors on the right.

It was completed.

The 3rd and 4th patterns give a sense of unity by narrowing down the hue.

 

summary

To create a sense of unity in the color scheme

 

1. Unify the saturation and brightness of the colors used

2. Squeeze the hue of the color to be used

 

Finally, let's look back at the four patterns we've created so far.

1. Pale shade pattern

2. Brightly colored patterns

3. A pattern with warm colors

4. Cold colored pattern

Thank you for reading this far.

 

I would appreciate it if you could help me with this story.
