How to make cartoons

The process of making cartoons is divided into traditional paper painting and popular board painting.

Paper drawing is troublesome and not recommended, but the popular board drawing is really used by most people.

The so-called board drawing requires a usable computer first, whether it is a notebook computer or a desktop computer, followed by a graphic tablet, which can be bought in Taobao shops at a price of more than 200 yuan. Then, with these devices, you need to install the software needed to make cartoons on your computer. Generally, the softwares commonly used in our country are CSP, PS, SAI, etc. CSP is a multifunctional graphics software, which can draw pictures. You can also do animation. In addition to these, there are 3D dolls as a reference for drawing the human body. These 3D dolls can adjust any action freely, which is a very good animation production software. In addition, the combination of PS and SAI software is also widely used. Usually sketch with SAI until the line draft, and then color in PS until the post-production is completed. These are all necessary for cartoon making.

Generally, the production process of comics must first have a story. For those who are making cartoons for the first time, I suggest not to think about the big themes of those grand world views. I suggest starting with small stories and then accumulating experience on big themes. With stories, people, scenes and costumes need to be designed. When designing these, you can refer to how other people's cartoons are designed, and you can also watch some related books or videos. With these, you can only draw a sketch of the mirror design. At present, a popular phenomenon in China is called bar overflow, which is to separate every box in the page overflow and then turn it into a bar overflow. As for how to draw the draft of the split mirror, we can see how other people's cartoons are drawn, how emotions are expressed, how exaggerated techniques are used, and how some special effects and comic language are made. You can learn from other people's cartoons. After drawing the mirror, you can draw a line draft. I recommend using SAI to draw lines, because this software is small, easy to use and suitable for beginners. Then, after drawing the line draft, you can color it, add text and background special effects, and you can stop completely in PS until it is completed.

The above is the production process of cartoon board painting, I hope I can help you!
