I want to know what basic tools are needed to draw comics and where to buy these things, as well as specific comic drawing methods

One, the traditional cartoon hand-drawn tools

1, paper

Paper: smooth, white, have a certain strength and absorbency, easy to dry after the ink, feel good, with an eraser after the lint-free. General selection of 80-100g, A4 / B5 size of white paper, drawing color can choose some color paper. The paper can not be too thick, otherwise it is difficult to write through the light-sensitive desk, resulting in the inconvenience of posting the network. Also pay attention to the distinction between the front and back of the paper, the front side of the smoother texture. Mesh paper: a transparent adhesive net composed of black dots of varying sizes. Each net paper has a number, of course, the number of different brands of net paper is not the same, it has a standard size of the edge, the smallest to mm as a unit. Currently there are three sizes of mesh paper: (1) A5 size -- 240mm * 175mm -- printing area 200 * 150mm; (2) A4 size -- 340mm * 240mm -- printing area 200 * 150mm; (3) A4 size 340mm*240mm - printing area 310mm*210mm; (3) A3 specifications - 480mm*350mm - 430mm*320mm. 320mm. Absorbent paper: used to wipe the nib and protect the part that has been finished.

2, pencils

Ordinary pencils: the role of the pencil is generally draft, not too hard or too soft, too hard will leave scratches on the paper, too soft and easy to make the picture by the eraser dirty, so the choice of HB-4B is appropriate. HB pencil Color pencil:. Many professional painters use fever-castile blue pencil or yellow pencil primer, so that the lines drawn in the printing will not be visible, so it is very convenient not to have to erase the primer after inking.

3. Eraser

Eraser is not the softer the better, depending on your use. More commonly used ordinary, steel sand type and plastic eraser three. Ordinary eraser after a period of time if black, you can rub on a rough cloth (such as jeans) or paper to remove the dirty part, to ensure that the picture is clean. Rubbing a steel grit eraser on the clothes of a color draft character creates a tweed fabric effect!!!! I do not recommend the use of plastic eraser, because it is oil-based, very easy to dirty the picture! 4. Ink/Ink There are two kinds of ink: water-soluble and non-water-soluble. It is recommended to use non-water-soluble ink, such as cartographic ink! (Shanghai carbon ink, ostrich drawing ink, etc. are good) Ink should try to use good, do not be greedy for cheap and buy those black degree is not enough of poor quality products. Cartographic ink and ink are better choices. Ink should be slightly diluted when used, otherwise it will not flow down easily and solidify on the nib. If it is too thin, a large drop of ink will drip off and stain the image when you apply pressure.

5. Brushes

Different brushes in the hands of different users will have different effects, as far as the dip pen is concerned, it is rich in changes in the line, out of the painting is more flavorful. But the user's requirements are higher, and need to be practiced more often to master. Brush you can use the usual pen, I think it is not very important! The key is to be smooth! 1. Pen: try to choose a light weight, short length of the pen, so that the use of a little more cool, smooth ah! 2. Nib: The following are the characteristics of various nibs: 1) D nib - not much change in the line, suitable for drawing the effect line and the cartoon of the scene, with this pen, the pen should be fast to look clean. D nib 2) G nib - line variation is very large, suitable for drawing close and soft picture, for trees and rocks and other natural objects are also applicable, is Akira Toriyama, Beijoji and the vast majority of manga artists use the pen type. Unfortunately, imported pens are just expensive, more than ten dollars before you can buy 3 of them. G nib 3) round nib - can be drawn from the thinnest line to the thickest line, but because it is often used by teenage manga artists, the line is generally very thin and soft. 4) Lighthouse 101 - a domestic nib, similar in shape and line-drawing effect to a round pen, economical (no more than 50 cents!) Lighthouse 101 is used by many domestic authors as a substitute for the round pen, but some products are not smooth enough to draw a line, and not wear-resistant enough. Yixin always use this nib. As shown in the picture below. Lighthouse 101 5) Lighthouse 426 - domestic nibs, plus a water reservoir, a point of ink can be drawn for a long time, but the elasticity is not enough, the line does not change much. As shown in the picture below. Lighthouse 426 New nibs have a layer of oil on them, if you don't remove it, the nib will not be able to dip the ink, so you need to use a fire or soft paper to remove the oil layer first. Don't dip too much ink at once, to no more than 1/2 of the nib. If you dip the nib in too much ink, scrape the water-storing side of the nib against the inner neck of the ink bottle to let some of the ink run down the wall. New nibs that scrape paper can be sharpened slightly on a glass plate. To clean the nib after use, it is best to wash it with water to keep the water coming out smoothly.

6. Knives

1. hand knife: common knife for scraping the net. 2. Scraper knife: a special tool for scraping or cutting nets. 3. press net knife: is a spoon head of the press net tool used to paint the net paper compaction.

7. Rulers

1. ruler: a straight line or the effect of line drawing tools. 2. ruler: in addition to drawing straight lines or effect lines. 3. ruler: a spoon head to press the net paper to compact. 2. triangle ruler: in addition to drawing a straight line can also show different angles. 3. 3. cloud-shaped board: used to draw a variety of complicated curves (this is a very useful props, once a cartoonist collected more than four hundred pieces of cloud-shaped board, each piece is different) 4. stencil: the use of the upper part of the hollowed out to draw a variety of geometric shapes 8. other 1. correction fluid: the needle and pen type or bottle of two kinds of, used to modify the drawing. 2. erasers: there are many kinds, depending on the need to choose. Commonly used are ordinary, steel sand and plastic erasers. 3. 3. staple: used to fix the drawing. 4. adhesive tape: used to fix the drawing when copying the drawing (be careful to choose a weak adhesive). 5. paint protectant: sprayed on the artwork to ensure that it is not contaminated. 9. copy desk of course, if you have the money, you can also go to buy a copy desk (also known as writing desk) Price: wood: 120-150 yuan aluminum alloy: about 220 or so! （I think this is more important!) I think this is more important! Quite use, when you draw a line drawing when you can use it to copy a few points of the line drawing, in case when you fail the first time is not as to start from scratch! If you're good with your hands, you can make one yourself! The materials are as follows: 1. a piece of glass - preferably 8K or more. 2. 2 pieces of wood. 3. iron. 2. 2 pieces of wood 3. a number of nails 4. a light bulb with wire and plug - the brighter the better, the longer the wire. 5. a piece of wood. 5. a piece of wooden board, of course, hammer, saw and other tools, ready, because everyone's specific requirements for transcription are different, but I think you will be able to do it. If you are lazy, we can make a temporary translucency table, in fact, is to replace the wood block with a plastic foam block, and the wooden board with a plastic board. In this way, you only need to use a hobby knife to cut the foam block into the appropriate size, and then use strong glue on the plastic plate on the line (the disadvantage is not durable, where the light bulb will be placed on the plastic plate will be deformed). If you are still too much trouble then move two large stacks of books from inside the bookcase down, a stack of thick a stack of thin, and then put the glass plate on the top on the OK, this is the most lazy way, but when you use the glass plate to be careful to slide down. Finished, it is time to learn how to use it. First, overlap your COPY with a piece of paper of equal size (white paper on top). Second, align the two pieces of paper and tape the top edges together (be careful to use a less sticky tape so you don't damage the paper). Then, place the bulb under the glass, turn on, well, the white paper under the lines of the manuscript clearly appeared, the next step is to do is the main line of the manuscript carefully traced to the white paper, you need only patience and care

10. bit of board hand-drawn

Into the twenty-first century, the digital and electronic at an alarming rate of the impact of the development of society. At the same time, it has won people's favor with its ahead-of-the-curve scientific concepts and practices, and has rapidly developed and grown in society. The comic book industry is no exception, many comic book writers put down their brushes and start drawing on computers with higher creative efficiency. According to statistics, 65% of the comics in China come from computerized drawing, and animation design has begun to shift from all manual work to digitalization. You can see cartoon comics designed and created by computer in many places. At present, the most commonly used hardware tool in computer cartoon drawing is the digital board, which can easily help cartoonists use computers and drawing software to draw cartoons directly. The main parameters of the digital pad are sensing technology, pressure level, writing style, personalized shape and recognition rate. One of the pressure level is the key parameter, such as the stylus board nominal pressure level 512, that is to say, the use of stylus pen tip from contact with the stylus board to the downward pressure of 100 grams of force, between about 5mm, the fine electromagnetic changes in the distinction between 512 levels, the stylus pen will be the feedback of this information to the computer, so as to form the effect of coarse and fine different strokes. The digital board can realistically react to the handwriting of the input strokes, which is very beneficial for professional CAD/CAM design and engaging in art work.

As far as drawing manga goes, this varies from person to person.

As long as you have a basic knowledge of sketching

If you want to draw a little bit better

You can refer to enroll in an art class
