A simple way to draw a map of Dongtai China
Want to share on Xiaohongshu how to draw a map of China that is both simple and beautiful? Follow the steps below to give it a try!
First, prepare a sheet of A4 paper and a paintbrush (a thin-tipped black rollerball pen is recommended) to outline the outline of China. In this case, you can choose to simplify the design and abstract the outlines of each province and city, such as reducing rivers to curves and mountains to wavy lines. In addition, we can emphasize the central area by contrasting colors, such as bold the Beijing area in red to add visual impact. Then, you can fill regional water bodies, such as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, with blue to add a sense of layering. Finally, bold signs are made in key locations such as Beijing, Shanghai and other large cities for easy identification.
Tips:
- First the whole and then the part, first draw a large outline, and then refine the graphics of each province and city.
- Use contrasting colors to give your map more depth. For example, sky blue represents water, and light gray represents land.
- Considering the visual balance, pay attention to the coordination of the size ratio between the provinces and cities.
- Use picture materials for reference, such as finding a high-definition map of China on the Internet as an object to copy.
- Using professional mapping software and tools can help you complete your maps more efficiently. Link to a small perk about free card collection: https://172.lot-ml.com/ProductEn/index/228624771753f69b
