The night gave Gothic black eyes, but we used it to find light. Ah... this is indeed a very pretentious discourse. [Inhale]

I don't know when, the word Gothic began to sneak into our lives, and quietly changed the world with its implied sharpness. The Gothic film represented by "The Lord of the Rings" and the Vampire series has already been hot at the box office, and the illustrator used their brushes to paint this gloom. Calmly reflect on what is behind it, and what is worth our aftertaste and reflection.


What do you think of when you mention Gothic style?

Goth was originally used in the Renaissance to distinguish the artistic style of the Middle Ages (5-15th century AD), with horror, supernatural, death, decadence, witchcraft, castle, abyss, night, vampires, etc. Iconic element. The Gothic style uses the dark, fearful, lonely, desperate artistic themes to travel to the sacred and evil edge of the inner world, depicting the struggle between love and despair, the pain and sobriety of barking.

(Even if it is a gothic cake, it also has a strong dark taste)

It is said that the word "goth" refers to the style or things of the Middle Ages. French etymology says that the original word used to refer to the medieval things is the Italian Renaissance humanist Lorenzovara, who used Gothic to refer to a medieval writing style, or font, around 1440. It also means "outdated".

I want to express the illustration scene of Gothic style. What should I do?

The most typical Gothic scene reference is the "Cologne Cathedral". Gothic architecture is a reflection of the cultural prosperity of the capitalist period and the progress of construction technology, which is reflected in the religious architecture at that time. The overall style is towering and thin, with mysterious, mournful and sublime performances with outstanding architectural skills.


Gothic architectural style: the sharp vertical lines often point to the sky with countless spires; the structure is intuitively exposed, clear and reasonable; the early indoor lighting problems are relatively large, forming a relatively cold and serious image; generally without pillars and other Roman elements; the church is the Lord. It can be simple and simple, and the simple twin tower can also be considered Gothic style. The structural double-circle arch and rib cage, flying buttresses are all iconic.

In fact, you can also learn about several Gothic illustrators.

The works of French illustrators have more or less mysterious places, and the influence of the painters on each other has turned this style into a very common atmosphere. These strange Gothic-style illustrations are recommended for their characters in the picture and the theme is also very creative.


Victoria Francés was born on October 25, 1982. This vampire painter from Spain was very successful in using pencils and gouache to create the mesmerizing beauty of ancient Europe. It is the new star of fantasy in Europe in the past two years.



The characters in her paintings all have beautiful faces, exquisite costumes and a flowing hair. And quite a feeling of HEAVY MENTAL. Therefore, her works are deeply loved by rebellious teenage girls and heavy metal rock lovers. After reading the photos of Victoria, I found that the characters in the painting have her own shadow, a curly red hair, thick false eyelashes, purple gray eyeshadow, black vest and retro black dress, it is like painting The characters in the world go to real life.

Of course, if you like Gothic style, Goth is expressed through what you like, rather than talking to others everywhere. Compared to the wild type of punk, Goth is still relatively restrained and cold (inappropriate metaphor = = that kind of feeling is good) after all, there is classicism and mysticism in it.

What are the ways to make the illustrator more "gothic"? After all, if you are not careful, it is easy to draw a killer.

Gothic dresses do not have a uniform design. The main elements include black, dark clothes, silver, black hair, red or light blonde hair, pale skin, black lipstick and eye shadow. The accessories include a cross, a pentagram, a cross, a cloak, a shawl, and so on. It can be seen that Gothic dresses are usually dominated by dark colors, as well as morbid, erotic clothing styles and types. Traditional Gothic styles have black hair, dark eyeliner, black nail polish and black clothing, but not necessarily holes.

Here are a few tips that will make it easy for you to move closer to Gothic Wind:

1, wear black

The so-called no black, not Gothic. No matter how you want to present a Gothic temperament, black or other similar dark colors must be an eternal choice. Whether it's dark purple or dark blue, all you have to do is wrap yourself in the dark.

The classic ladies' Gothic wind gear includes: corsets, boots, ragged T-shirts, mini skirts, fishnet stockings, long skirts, long trench coats or mini dresses. Or wear a T-shirt with some rock singers and black loose pants underneath, which is also very gothic.

Men's classic Gothic pieces include: Tattered T-shirts, boots, band-themed tops, dark pants, tights and anchor belts.

2, handle the hair

Gothic hair is usually dark, or individual highlights are bright. If your hair is dark brown, consider blacking it all, then add a little mousse hair gel to get a Robert Smith haircut. If you have long blond hair, highlight a few blacks, or simply bleach them into lighter colors, then bring a few fancy neon blues.

3, give our illustration characters with accessories

If you love to dress, Gothic wind is really suitable for you. Buy a few tight pants, add a few more complex belts, and then tie them together; or buy a leather long glove that looks like a thief, and a dog collar with rivets. The same wide necklace... Anyway, what do you like, as long as you feel that you can show your personality. Crucifixes, rivets, spikes, safety pins, these are typical Gothic ornaments.

Paint your nails in black. If you don't like nail polish, you can get that permanent nail. Whether it is male or female, this is a very conspicuous feature, indeed there is enough Gothic.

4, let the illustration characters in the pen look pale

White is like a dead person. All kinds of foundations, before the makeup, and so on, use the foundation that is a little lighter than your own skin color, not too much, otherwise it will look very fake and very unproductive. But pale is not a must, anyone with any skin color can go to the Gothic, don't get too tangled.

However, it is not only decadence, darkness and terror that are reflected in the Gothic film. Under sorrow, death, and pain, there is humanity and a longing for beauty. Perhaps this is the charm of the black theme of Gothic style.
