He used "design" to draw pictures, which made 800,000 people like it, and the whole network went viral to classics! Not a single excess

From painting to design,

Imagine someone with real humor,

Only then can you enjoy it,

Know how to enjoy the most ordinary side of life,

A lot of simple things,

Can also make it interesting!

Compared with design, painting,

There is a wider space for thinking,

The line between serious and funny is blurred,

Painting designer from Germany:

Christoph Niemann

Christoph Niemann

Nieman, 55, has a very rich identity.

Like a watercolor painter who is good at observing and creating,

He is also a senior designer of life aesthetics creation.

Just like a magician,

Can create all kinds of miracles!

Self-portrait

▲ Nieman always likes to be funny about his hairstyle. The more he uses it, the less hair he will have. Of course, he will have more ideas.

It's like this stick figure with this pencil shavings.

▲ Headphones are not headphones, they are the noses of orangutan

At any time and place,

Any element Niemann can touch,

Under his brainstorming,

Always able to have unexpected "ideas",

Such an elusive "living brain",

In the whole network, more than 800,000 people are crazy about the attention and liking of them.

 

Christopher Nieman said: I find it difficult to define both the style of words and illustrations, and I don't want to define them. But in fact, I have been innovating in the traditional way, and I often have to return to my original heart to find inspiration for creation. For me, it is actually very complicated to transform the three-dimensional world into a plane with a few lines, but this is also the charm of painting.

 

In Niemann's casual and free creation,

He prefers the traditional techniques related to watercolor and ink.

We all know that the prerequisite for learning design is to learn to draw well.

The same goes for Nieman,

As an art school student Nieman,

I really like the infinite fun brought by painting.

But only for painting Niemann has no bright spot,

There are too many excellent painters,

But Niemann likes painting and prefers graffiti-style creativity,

So at school Nieman chose design,

This way He discovered a brand-new "horizon" of painting.

▲ Who can refuse to look at Marilyn Monroe at the end of the road? It's just a few simple lines and a mole, which achieves both form and spirit

Adhering to the instinct of a designer, Niemann is good at simplifying complexity.

At the age of 28, Nieman, who likes improvisation,

With unconstrained painting design,

Nieman's works have gone viral all over the Internet,

I believe that his countless works have become typical cases of creative development,

Even simple graffiti designs,

Niemann's work also contains a serious side.

▲ With the help of the transparency and fluidity of watercolor, light drawing and light drawing strong light

In Niemann's paintings, it's not simple graffiti,

Every brushstroke and color choice will take into account the needs of the picture,

Skillful use of perspective, reasonable and often unexpected color matching,

The light and shadow processing is extraordinary, concise and bright.

Perhaps many of Niemann's works look very simple,

They themselves are not meant to be so.

Any excellent professional painter can create such works,

But this way of thinking is not something that any painter can do.

A thinking process that requires "unintentional",

Far more important than deliberate creation!

Mixed elements are at the heart of Niemann's work,

His sense of humor transcends the medium itself.

Any skill drawing method seems to be acquired through learning,

And Nieman's thinking is indeed unique,

Not only shows a keen imagination and sense of humor,

It also shows an artist's keen observation.

▲ Invited to speak at TED

Not limited to tradition but beyond tradition,

Niemann's favorite design painting,

Break through yourself in pure painting,

Observation and creation of landscape painting,

Niemann often requires fewer brushstrokes,

Refine and simplify with geometric forms,

I can't even find a surplus,

The use of blank space and negative space has also become a classic existence among classics.

In some seemingly daily landscape pictures,

But it shows Niemann's mastery and exertion of the basic theory of painting to the extreme.

Good at refining concepts, but humble and low-key.

The more you let yourself go, the more freely you can create.

The more you can burst out unlimited creativity.

We tend to restrain ourselves while being taught,

Nieman let himself break that,

Everyone has their own humor cells,

Use this childlike innocence to become Nieman's appearance.
