Ei'lycia - Background

A commission from menewsha.com. Ei'lycia belong to Arikana.
从menewsha.com委托的作品。夜丽希雅属于Arikana。


In regard to background, before making your first line, research should be done to fit the pose and atmosphere and most importantly, the story background setting of the character, if they have one. This time, the owner gave me a place as a reference, and I do a simple google search. Then select a few suitable background and slowly narrow them down to fit the pose and such. It do not take long, just browse through pages, brainstorm and done. At the end, I decided to draw her in an alley under the building shadow, ready to attack.
做背景的时候，在还没有画上第一条线之前，为了配合姿势、气氛还有最重要的是人物的故事背景如果有的话，最好有做前期的研究。这次拥有者给了我一个可参考的地方，做了简单的网络搜索。圈选了一些适合的背景，之后在配合姿势和其他关键下慢慢的缩小范围。并没花费多长的时间，只是扫描过网页、构思就完成了。最后，我把她放在建筑物阴影下的小巷，预备攻击。

As usual, sketch first before final line, cyan colour as always. Points to pay attention when drawing architecture background:
1. Perspective.
2. Thickness and hardness of material.
如往常，完稿之前先草稿，还如常用浅蓝色。当画建筑背景应注意的要点：
1. 远近画法
2. 材料的厚度、软硬。

The best way to do perspective is to have guidelines. My background belongs to two point perspectives, I do not plot the complicated construction lines, I just start with the vital 3 lines and then copy over for reference in other area. The 3 lines include the 2 different horizontal angle and vertical angle.
远近画法最佳的方法是用底线。我的背景属于双点远近，不过我并没有大费周章的画出复杂的底线，我只是用最重要的3条线开始，然后在别的地方抄过去参考角度。3条线包括2条不同角度的横线和直线。

As for drawing different type of material, you should know the properties of the material. For example, the brick wall are hard therefore the lines are straighter, the canvas overhang roof is soft therefore line are curved. You can see the difference of thickness protruding outside the wall with the arch window brick and the corner brick.  
至于绘画不同种类的材料，首先应该了解材料的一切。例如，砖墙是硬的所以线应该比较直，帆布屋顶是软的所以线会弯。你也可以注意到在拱形小窗和墙角的砖块突出的厚度是不同的。
