What tools do animation illustrators need to draw animation illustrations, and what should they pay attention to in the process of drawing? Illustration is divided into CG and hand-drawing, that is, computer drawing and paper drawing. The hardware of CG can be a computer equipped with a drawing board and a pressure sensitive pen, or a scanner can scan hand-drawn works and then process them with a computer. PHOTOSHOP and PAINTER are widely used in software. Generally, there are gouache, watercolor, transparent watercolor, colored lead, pastel, marker and so on. It's for hand painting. Relative application paper has watercolor and gouache paper, pen has gouache and watercolor pen. In the process of painting, we should first pay attention to the composition, the main image of the picture, the tone and color matching of the picture. Pencil: mainly used for drafting. Generally speaking, mechanical pencil is better. You can choose refills with different hardness according to your personal habits. You can also use wooden pencils, such as Zhonghua brand. Generally, HB or hard H pen can be used. Eraser: used to erase pencil lines or do special effects on dotted paper. Be sure to use a drawing board that doesn't wrinkle and fluff the paper easily. Ruler: Drawing cartoons generally requires three kinds of rulers: ruler, triangle ruler and cloud ruler. Rulers are generally used to draw borders and straight lines, followed by triangular rulers to draw parallel lines and right angles, and cloud rulers to draw curves. When buying a ruler, be careful not to buy a right-angled ruler, but to buy an inclined ruler. Ink: where it needs to be completely blackened, ink is darker and more beautiful than black ink. When drawing black, you should start from the outside, carefully draw the outline along the outline of the painting, and be careful not to go out of bounds. Then, fill the pen with ink and fill the middle part. Duck-billed pen: used to draw straight lines in ink drafts. Draw a straight line with neat edges and uniform thickness. When in use, the duckbill pen can't be dipped in ink directly, but it should be dipped in ink with a dipping pen or a writing brush, and then dripped from the gap of the duckbill pen, and the thickness of the drawn line segment is determined by adjusting the screw at the front end of the pen. When drawing a straight line, the pen is perpendicular to the paper, and the horizontal cable is pulled evenly, not too fast, so as to draw a uniform straight line. Mike pen: It is often used to draw large areas of black or special effects, and can also be used to draw thin lines. Sometimes you can also use colored pens to color the manuscript, which is different from the traditional style manuscript and more avant-garde. Its effect is just like the renderings, and the strokes are obvious, which is not easy for beginners to draw well. There are two kinds of pens: oily and water-based. Black ink: Black ink works well when drawing lines. Compared with ink, it dries quickly and is not easily dissolved by water after drying. In addition, black advertising color can also be used to paint black. The advantage is that the black advertising color will not reflect light, and it has a dark feeling, which is convenient for computer scanning. When using, it is forbidden to adjust too much or too little water. White (white) correction: used to correct errors and dirty parts. White can make the picture gorgeous and changeable, and poster color white is often used. When using, pay attention to adjust the concentration. Different concentrations will have different effects. When drawing white or small white dots on the dot paper, dip it in thick white. In addition, drawing light white in the highlights of hair, eyes and clothes can better reflect its texture and three-dimensional sense, and the picture is more layered and aesthetic, while the flying white line drawn at will has the feeling of illumination, which plays the role of "finishing touch". Writing paper: used for drawing. The requirements for paper should be that no matter how many times it is drawn and rubbed repeatedly, it will not lose hair, not be damaged, and the lines dipped in the strokes will not be dizzy. It is best to choose manuscript paper with high cotton content and smooth surface. Generally speaking, the papers commonly used by professional cartoonists are: cartoon special drawing paper or drawing paper, watercolor paper, white cardboard and so on. Dot paper: used for gray tone or other special effects. There are many kinds of patterns on the dot paper, the most commonly used ones are "gray net" and "gradient net", and some "environment net" and "pattern net" can be used together. There are two kinds of dot paper: paper mesh and rubber mesh. Art knife, pen knife and screen pressing knife: usually used for scraping and cutting screens. Art knives are generally used to cut nets, while pen knives are generally used to scrape nets. Skillful use of pen and knife is very important for cartoon making. In addition, due to the limited viscosity of dot paper, we also need to use a screen cutter to firmly stick dot paper to the manuscript paper. If there is no screen cutter, we can also use fingernails instead. Brush: you can paint a large area and dip it in white to repair the painting. But the white brush must be used separately from other brushes, and the used brush must be cleaned. Drawing pen: Drawing pen is a very slender pen, which is often used to draw uniform borders and lines. The thickness of the drawing pen ranges from 0. 1mm to 2mm, but the commonly used size is 0.6mm to 0.8mm. Because the pen tip of the drawing pen is even in thickness, the drawn lines are not sharp, so it is not suitable for multiple purposes. Because the pen tip of the drawing pen is very thin, it is easy to block the pen tip when the ink is dry, so cover the pen cap in time after use. If the ink doesn't come out when you use it, you can flick it up and down or dip the pen tip in water, which is really bad. Can be soaked in clear water. Dip pen: it is used for inking, but there are many kinds of dip pens, and the thickness and shape of the nib are different. We can choose dipping pens with different thicknesses according to what we draw. G pen tip is very elastic, and can draw lines with different thicknesses according to the strength, especially the thick lines drawn are very smooth, which is most suitable for drawing outlines. The round nib is suitable for drawing very thin lines, but it can also draw thicker lines like the G nib if it is forced, and it can change freely. On the whole, it is thinner than the G pen, so some people only use it to draw details or backgrounds. Paper-making table: Because the paper can be divided into paper net and rubber net, especially the paper net has low transparency, it is necessary to use paper-making table to increase the transparency of the net, so that it can be accurate when cutting and pasting the net. What are the styles of hand-painted anime characters that are very suitable for copying? Some friends who like hand-drawing generally have their favorite anime characters. Why do you say that?
So what are the styles of anime characters who like copying? Let's take a look!
Generally copied cartoon characters are relatively simple lines, and I
When I was learning to draw with my little friend, I just asked her to find me a simple and uncolored cartoon. Such anime characters are easier to use, with simpler expressions and simpler movements. There is also that girls who generally like hand-painting like to copy male anime characters, while boys who like hand-painting prefer to copy female anime characters.
Primary hand-painting also prefers Q version, because Q version is the best, and secondary painting should be about characters, especially as mentioned above, boys like to copy female cartoon characters, while girls like to copy male cartoon characters. A slightly higher level of hand-drawn artists will choose people from the illustrator department to draw, which is a combination of characters, creativity and scenes. Junior hand painters will choose the ones with clear lines and clear structure. Like some line drawings with clear lines and simple structure, the drawing angle is relatively flat, which is very suitable for primary hand painting and germination.
Generally speaking, some people like hand-painted style. In fact, everyone has their own favorite style. Maybe you will like pure style, some people may like dark color, and some people like violence.
Therefore, copying cartoon characters still depends on your favorite style, but the premise is that if your hand-drawing skills are not very good, it is recommended to start with the elementary simplicity.
How to learn to draw by hand (mainly cartoon characters) is very important in animation. The lines should be smart, smooth and crisp, and the lines should be well-known and well-behaved.
1, to know fairly well, you need to master the basics of drawing such as sketching and sketching. The skill of hand-drawn cartoon characters is to learn the basics of painting first and lay a good foundation, otherwise the hand-drawn cartoon characters are not only unlike (in fact, the shape is inaccurate), but also have no spirit, only the table has no interior.
2. If you want to have kung fu, you need to draw more and practice more. If the time is short, you will often feel no progress. After a long time, you can draw good animation works.
3. Correctly express the relationship between the physical structure and anatomical structure of an object.
4. The layout of black, white and gray pictures is clear and distinct. The head portrait should have a sense of volume, texture and space.
Extended data
