Skills of using hand-drawn animation tools

Learning hand-drawn cartoons can cultivate a person's temperament and flexible judgment. So do you know what skills you have in the process of learning hand-drawn comics? Below I sorted out the skills of using hand-drawn comic tools, which can be used as a reference according to personal circumstances!

Skills of using hand-drawn cartoon tools 1 1. When a pen with ink, such as dip pen, duckbill pen and drawing pen, is combined with a ruler to draw lines, the ruler should be used with the inclined plane facing downwards (if the ruler tool has no inclined plane, a thin object such as coins can be pasted under the ruler) so as to avoid over-saturation of the ink stained with the nib, so as to avoid the ink at the joint between the ruler and the pen from leaking out of the lines and getting dirty.

Second, if the painting is accidentally dirty, it can be repaired with correction white. When using correction white, pay attention to adding as little water as possible, and cover it after the pigment covered for the first time is completely dried, so as to avoid that the correction white accumulation is too thick to affect the picture effect.

3. If you can't repair the painting by altering it, you can cut a piece of paper slightly larger than the picture to be repaired, stick it on it with glue, and redraw the repaired part. Or put a clean manuscript paper under the draft, and then carve out the part that needs to be modified with a knife, so that you can get a piece of paper with the same shape as the modified part, then embed the carved paper on the draft like a jigsaw puzzle, stick it firmly on the back with a slightly larger and thinner paper, and draw the carved part again.

Fourth, "scraping the net", don't use too much force to avoid cutting the net paper and desktop. When you need to scrape some straight lines, you can use a ruler, but put the blade flat to avoid scratching the ruler. When using a knife, you can also prepare a rubber pad or do this work on the glass of the copy desk.

5. When you need the effect of "pasting the screen and overlapping the screen", you can use the copy desk. Note that when using the copy table, you can choose "frosted" glass as the transparent plate, and the light source of the copy table can choose fluorescent lamp, and try not to use incandescent lamp.

Tips for using hand-drawn cartoon tools 2 When expressing hand-drawn cartoons, the use of tools is the most important issue, because it is related to the use of lines and strokes in cartoons, and even to the improvement of the characters and the texture of the pictures. Therefore, comic tools are the painting media of works and cartoonists, and they are an indispensable part of comic creation.

1. Drawing paper: Generally speaking, the paper commonly used by animators includes cartoon drawing paper, drawing paper, white cardboard, watercolor paper, etc. Moreover, the paper is required to be smooth and white, with certain strength and water absorption. Easy to dry ink, good feel. After using the eraser, there is no hair. Generally choose 80g to100g of A4 or B5 white paper (if the transparent surface paper is not too thick, otherwise it will be difficult to feel the polished rod of the transparent surface, which will bring inconvenience to the film). In addition, the front and back paper should be distinguished, the front texture is smooth and the softness is high!

2, manuscript paper: when used to draw a draft, manuscript paper should be no matter how many times it is drawn, it will not be too blurred, the paper will not break easily, and the lines will not faint with a pen. It is best to choose draft paper with soft and smooth surface.

3. Pencil: Pencils are generally used for drawing. The nib must not be too hard, otherwise it will leave scratches on the paper, but the nib should not be too soft, otherwise it will be easily touched by the rubber, so HB~4B pencil is more suitable. The choice of pencil and mechanical pencil can be decided according to personal habits. Pencil lines are more diverse, while mechanical pencil's lines are easier to express. )

4. Colored pencil: Colored pencil, also known as colored pencil and colored lead, is a very easy-to-master coloring tool. It has a variety of colors, transparency and colors, and the drawing effect is light, fresh and concise, and most of them are easy to use. No matter what kind of paper, it can be colored evenly, the color is smooth and the refill is not easy to fall off. The most important thing is rich colors. Colored pencils include monochrome series (129 colors), 12 color series, 24 color series, 48 color series, 72 color series, 96 color series and so on.

5. Rubber: Rubber can wipe off some traces of graphite or ink in time. Speaking of erasers, everyone is familiar with them. Our school uses the most common tools. The classification of rubber is very rich, with different shapes and colors. For example, we often use ordinary erasers, and then there are 2B, 4B, 6B models for art education for painting.

6, ink: ink can be dipped in strokes, or a large area of black painting, ink can also be replaced by ink. (In the choice of ink, the ink of the drawing cartridge is a better choice. When using ink, dilute it slightly, otherwise it is difficult for the ink on the nib to stay on the nib and solidify. )

7. Color pigments: As we all know, color pigments are used for coloring according to their names. Colored pigments and markers are equally important in the painting process. However, color pigments and markers are completely different in the main forms of color expression and coloring methods, and the texture after coloring is absolutely different.

If the color of your picture needs to express a heavy and rich sense of atmosphere, you need to use color pigments. If you need light and lively colors, you need to use tools such as markers!

8. Brush: Brush is often used for coloring, and sometimes it can be used instead of dipping brush.

9. Dip pen: There are many kinds of dip pens. Pen tips vary in size and shape. We can use different kinds of dip pens according to the drawings.

10, marker: marker is one of the most important painting tools, especially marker, which can be used to color line drawing. Markers have many brands, and each brand corresponds to a different number of colors. When choosing markers, you can choose according to your personal needs. )

1 1. Dot paper: Dot paper, also known as reticulated paper, is divided into reticulated paper and colloidal reticulated paper in terms of materials. Pointing paper is widely used to make some shadow effects, such as clothes, hair, sky, buildings and so on. It belongs to the material that can be often used in hand-drawn comics.

12. Pastel: Generally speaking, pastel is a pigment used to color cartoons. In general, we will make it into the shape of a pen for easy use, so pastel is also called "pastel pen" or "color painting", and sometimes it is also called dry pastel to distinguish it from oil painting.

13. Ruler: There are three kinds of rulers for drawing cartoons: ruler, triangle ruler and cloud ruler. Rulers are also the most common drawing tools. Rulers are generally used to draw borders and straight lines. Triangular rulers are generally used to draw parallel lines and right angles. If we draw a curve, we need to use a cloud ruler.

Skills of using hand-drawn cartoon tools 3 pencils:

Mainly used for drafting, mechanical pencil is generally better. You can choose refills with different hardness according to your personal habits. You can also use wooden pencils, such as "Zhonghua" brand, and generally use HB or hard H pen.

Rubber:

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:

Cartoon drawing generally requires three 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 all black is needed, painting with ink is darker and more beautiful than painting with 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 a straight line in an ink draft. 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.

Mark:

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 three types of Mike pens: oily, water-based and alcohol.

Black ink:

Black ink works well when drawing lines, and it dries faster than ink, and it is not easy to be 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.

Correct white (white):

Used to decorate the wrong and dirty parts, white can make the picture gorgeous and changeable. The white color of the poster is commonly 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 sketching. 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.

Point paper:

Used for gray tones 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 the net, art knife is generally used for cutting the net, and pen knife is generally used for scraping the net. 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 of color, or you can 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 borders and lines with uniform thickness. 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.

Pen holder:

Used to insert the nib. Generally, it can be divided into two types: universal pen holder (suitable for G pen, dysprosium pen, student pen, etc. ) and a round pen holder (a round pen suitable for small joints only).

Pen tip:

Mainly includes the following contents:

G-pen: great elasticity and great variation of line thickness. It can draw lines with a sense of cadence, and is usually used to draw the main lines of characters.

Student pen: it has small elasticity, thin lines and basically the same thickness, and is mostly used for drawing backgrounds and effect lines.

Pen: The elasticity is smaller than that of G pen and round pen, and the line changes moderately. It is often used to draw the texture of cloth. Because it is not easy to hang paper, it is often used to draw various effect lines.

Round pen: great elasticity and great line change. Because the lines are very thin, they are often used to describe details, such as the eyes of the characters and the blond expression.

Watercolor:

Watercolors include transparent watercolors and opaque watercolors.

Acrylic pigment:

Namely propylene pigment. It has the characteristics of watercolor and oil painting at the same time. It can be used directly, or mixed with water like watercolor, or mixed with some additives and coated with a thick layer to create an oil painting effect. Acrylic pigment has the characteristics of fast drying speed, water resistance, strong adhesion and high toughness after drying. It can be used not only on paper, but also on cloth, wood, stone, glass, metal and other materials.

Colored pencils:

The method of use is the same as that of a pencil, with long and thin lines, which are mostly used to describe and modify details. It can be divided into water-based colored pens soluble in water and oily colored pens soluble in oily solvents.

Colored ink:

The color is very bright and needs to be mixed with water, which is especially suitable for mixed color and repeated coloring. It can be divided into quick-drying type and water resistance. Water-resistant color ink will not dissolve after drying.

Pastel:

Rod pigments that can be directly colored can also be cut into powder for use. According to hardness, it can be divided into soft pastel and hard pastel. Pastel is easy to fall off, so it needs to be fixed by spraying protective glue after coloring.

Color dot paper:

Rich in colors, when a certain area in the painting needs a uniform tone, you can use colored stippling paper. Although there is no rendering and color mixing effect produced by watercolors, markers and other pigments, the finished color draft will be as pleasing to the eye as the original color celluloid painting.

Spray gun:

It consists of a compressor motor and a hand-held nozzle, which can spray paint evenly in fog. Watercolor, acrylic pigment and colored ink are all acceptable. The common way is to connect the nozzle directly to the compressed gas cylinder, which is not only convenient to use, ideal for painting, but also cheaper.
