Did you draw illustrations without inspiration? Tell you to create a personal toothpaste? Looks like you really have a good look at this article...

Text | Cake Pie Pictures from the Internet

Have you ever seen the Muggles of "Where's the Magical Animals?" Have you been surrounded by magical animals with a certain image in the movie? However, in the mysterious magic world that JK Rowling pioneered... Do you know the prototypes of these amazing animals, do you know their life history? To be honest, it is really difficult to express these works in illustration design. [laugh]

In the same way, did you have such scenes with illustrations? Followed by a large painting of fried chicken High, fried chicken slip, Linyi is also a model, can be turned to their own original illustration when the face of force? They say that "creativity is a regrouping of old elements," but there is no such thing as a strong material library. But... Wait, what's in your head?

Fortunately, the blue pencil Xiaobian I brought today the "baby" recently discovered in the Amazon - "Naturalist Mystery Animal Guide." You may wish to open this book of illustrations from different worlds, and let the mysterious naturalist use poetic text and lifelike illustrations to answer all the puzzles above.


The author is Jean-Baptiste de Panafieux, who is the author of "Evolution", a combination of archaeology and literature.

The author of the illustrated part is the supernatural illustrator Camille Jean-Visad, who graduated from the famous Lydia Emilie Colmé. He has been yearning for mystery and adventure since childhood. With a curiosity about the world of mythology, he took pencils and paintbrushes to present the mythical and folklore scales and hair feathers. He sought these things in every corner of his mind.


The illustrations on the inside pages use the scientific atlas. They not only show the whole picture of animals, but also their internal structure. I have seen the dragon spurt, but you know why dragons can spurt fire. How do you spur fire? You know that unicorns have horns, but do you know in which direction the spiral on the unicorn's corner is rotating? Does the mermaid use baboons to breathe? ... This book will take you into the world of mysterious animals and answer these puzzles.


Whether you are a crazy fan of the mythical world, or love to appreciate beauty and poetry, you must not miss the good book combining the undergraduate general and culture!




This western edition of the Shan Hai Jing is more detailed, more scientific, and more realistic than the Shan Hai Jing. Sharply hand-drawn anatomical maps to restore unknown secrets of mysterious animals. Large format, full-color hardcover, let us see "World of Warcraft", "Lord of the Rings" and many other games, film and television drama role prototype.

The illustrations in the book are based on dragons and snakes, four-footed beasts, winged beasts, marine beasts, half-human beasts, and mixed-breed animals. They cover more than 40 mysterious animals and more than 100 subspecies of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign languages, involving Greece, Northern Europe, Africa, and the East. And many other myths and legends.


The origins of each animal in the book have their origins. The authors have historical data. Based on the literature, they deduce how they breed, prey, build nests, which area they are active in, and which skills they can use, along with large-scale original hand-drawn animal anatomy maps. Mystery animal bones, muscles, internal organs, even beards, feces.

When it comes to the source of this book, it is Deyrolle, a famous animal specimen store with more than 180 years of history. If you are waiting for an adventure, don't miss Deyrolle, a collection of exotic creatures, fantasy and mystery animals.

Animal specimens collected in the shop are comparable to a small museum. From mammals to insect birds and even coral shells, beautiful specimens are exhibited and sold here. It is reported that the House of the Basil began in 1831. The childhood of French generations grew up watching their natural history atlas.

The most difficult interpretation of the mysterious animal may be that it does not have an authoritative version of the interpretation. There may be great differences in different works, but the writer in the book often compares the descriptions in different research works to find out which The reasonable part is to reflect on or reject the unreasonable part, or hold a reserved attitude.


Explaining mysterious animals in science seems to sound new and interesting, but it is ironic to think about it. Science is logically deduced from the evidence of real existence. The myth is that it is unconstrained and does not take into account the laws of nature.

It seems that what we need as a portrait artist in the future is this kind of arrogant and arrogant imagination. But why are some people able to come up with all sorts of fantastic illustrations? In the final analysis, or because we lack a reference, a painter's ability to collect material is essential.

As mentioned earlier, every old element can be re-used and radiant. Creativity is constantly breaking through its "comfort circle" and bravely moving into new areas. If you still don't know exactly what to do, try the following tips:

1. Try to change it or paint it with a homemade brush (a new brush may have a different effect)

2, try to help other small friends to change painting (the best learning is to help others grow)

3, try to change the style of painting (if you used to paint the original style, you may wish to try the antiquity, may have new discoveries oh)

4. Don't stay on the board. The expression of the illustration art can be more than this (try a classical paper on watercolor or oil painting, nothing to play with fun and plasticine, you will have new inspiration)

5. Have the courage to cross-border and mix and match (to meet people in different fields, interior design, architecture, graphic design, animation... talk to them)

6, vent the brain, do not limit the thinking (sometimes inspiration than when dreaming more abundant)

Hey, there are so many points to share. The little friends remember it! What? Still want! Beware of greediness and chewing oh [knocking on the blackboard]. There is so much knowledge about the creative field of illustration. Today it is here... In the end, the hands of Einstein gave a big classic: “Imagination is better than knowledge. Important, knowledge is limited, and imagination sums up everything in the world."

Let's go daydreaming! ! ! After all, this is very important! [laugh]
