What's the difference between picture books, comics and comic books?

Different forms, different brushwork and different ideas.

The difference between picture books and other ordinary picture books is that picture books usually have independent painters, and the pictures have their own style. The pictures are real-time and can be drawn into a picture. We often see some illustrated books. Although the pictures in these books are very interesting, they are only a supplement to the text, and they are just pictures with the function of the text system. This kind of books is more common in textbooks and supplementary books. The pictures in the book do not have the function of "picture language". Compared with China's traditional comics and cartoons, the latter is like a traditional stage play, and readers can only watch it from a certain angle, which will produce a great sense of distance. Picture books for children are like movies for children. It not only shows a broad vision, but also highlights the details. It has an extremely interesting story, which hides the rhythm design of starting, carrying, flipping and combining. Some cartoon children's books based on pictures are also different from picture books. These paintings and calligraphy are beautiful, and the picture is the solidification of mobile comics, which has lost the charm of activities in form. The plot of the picture has been "dismembered" and it is difficult to express the original content. The pictures in the book are just symbols to evoke memories of the comic plot. The word is simple: the wolf entered the lamb's house. A whole page is full of pictures of wolves opening doors and coming in. All the lambs are in a panic. Some are hidden in the clock, some are hidden under the bed, some are hidden behind the door, and some are hidden behind the sofa ... This painting has greatly aroused the interest of young readers.

Comics is an art form, which depicts life or current events in a simple and exaggerated way. Generally, methods such as deformation, analogy, symbol, suggestion and innuendo are used to form humorous pictures or groups of pictures in order to achieve the purpose of irony or praise. Exaggeration, metaphor, symbolism and other techniques are often used to satirize, criticize or praise some people and things, which are very social and some works are purely for entertainment. Entertainment works are often funny and characterization.

Comic book is a kind of painting, which refers to the continuous description of the development process of a story or event with multiple pictures. Actually, it should be called "continuous painting" Shanghai, which rose at the beginning of the 20th century, compiled concise scripts based on literary works or real-life stories, and drew many vivid pages accordingly. Generally, line drawing is the main method, and there are also colors. China's ancient story murals (such as many Buddhist stories in Dunhuang murals), story scrolls (such as the Picture of Women's History by Gu Kaizhi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Picture of Han Xizai's Banquet by Gu in the Southern Tang Dynasty in the Five Dynasties, the Picture of Revival in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Picture of Eighteen Beats by Hu Jia in the Ming Dynasty) and the "full picture" in novels and operas all have the nature of comic strips. Modern popular comics are commonly called "picture books" or "picture books". Because the characters in the story are very small, they are also called "picture books" or "picture books". Because of its small size, it can be put in your pocket, so it is also called "pocket book". There are also movies, plays and other stories in the form of comics. The literary works of first-class literary masters and the comic works drawn by first-class artists are called the double miracles of comics. For example, Wang Shuhui's The West Chamber, Gu Bingxin's Crossing the River, Liu Jiyou's Chicken Hair Letter, Hua Sanchuan's White-haired Girl, Zhao Hongben's Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon and Qian Xiaodai's Painted Skin can be handed down from generation to generation, just like the woodcut prints of Water Margin and Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the Ming Dynasty.
