The application of sketching in animation design

Sketching is the foundation of all the plastic arts, plays an irreplaceable and important role in modeling activities. Below I have searched and organized for you about the application of design sketching in animation design, welcome to refer to read, I hope it will help you!

China, as a large country with a long history, has a deep cultural heritage and rich artistic culture. Traditional culture in different fields will be applied to varying degrees. In the context of the social market economy, the animation industry has an optimistic development prospects, the integration of fine arts culture and animation art creation has been the urgent need for the development of the animation business now, the two fused into one, is the image of animation design is more vivid, plasticity is stronger.

1. Design Sketch

With the development of art, sketching is also changing. Sketching is part of the art category with a certain function, meaning, and then modeling activities can not be replaced, is the basis of the design of plastic arts. However, compared with the traditional art sketching, design sketching research is mainly the objective phenomenon of the appearance of the form, the inner composition of the relationship between the two sense of integration, based on imitation but not limited to imitation, awareness-raising initiative and creativity, beyond the imitation of the language of visual modeling and professional design and artistic expression of an organic combination, reflecting the beauty of the arts, and reached a technical and artistic, scientific and aesthetic Overall unity. Animation is a kind of modeling technology that gives animation craft movement form, inanimate matter is then given life, and it is a kind of expression form that vitalizes and visualizes the art of matter. Sketch, animation and live action movies are different, live action movies mostly reflect the real world, while sketch, animation is basically the designer according to the basic principles of objective phenomena and then design, production of an image. Animation can be said to be the real world for the redesign, re-creation, which, drawing skills in animation to get a direct reflection, so the design of the sketch became an important part of animation design.

2. The development of China's animation design

Animation design, based on the principle of kinematics, mainly on the scene and character modeling design, so that these design objects can be coherent in two-dimensional, multi-dimensional space for movement. For an animation designer, it is important to take the initiative to create an eye-catching storyline, but also to create vivid characters to add the finishing touches to the storyline. Therefore, in animation works, all the characters and scenes need animation designers to design the storyline and create virtual characters and scenes according to their own imagination. Obviously, the animation design skills are directly related to the animation work of the character image and the establishment of the scene can be personalized, distinctive, and at the same time, novel, excellent animation design is the value of animation works.

At this stage, there is a big gap between the quantity and quality of China's animation design products and those of Korea, Europe and the United States. However, as early as 1935, the first sound animation "Camel Offering Dance" became famous, produced by Wan Lai Ming and others, and was unanimously praised by the animation industry. In the early years of the founding of the PRC, animation design had already made brilliant achievements. Princess Iron Fan", the first large-scale animated film designed and produced by Wan Laiming and others in 1941, the first puppet animation "Emperor's Dream" in 1947, and the first color animation "Why is the Crow Black" in 1955, which won the prize at the Venice International Children's Film Festival, marked the beginning of China's animated films to glory. From the beginning of the 6O's to the 80's, China's animation works of different kinds, and the traditional art color in the artistic expression as well as styling design and other aspects of the obvious embodiment.

3. The application of design sketching in animation design

Design sketching inherits the traditional fine art of sketching, and on this basis, it is innovated and transformed, and through the outline of the objective image by the pen, it transmits the vivid vitality of the object, and aesthetically, it gives people a visual . Enjoyment. Artists in the process of sketching design, everywhere showing the beauty of form, not sticking to the surface of the object similarity, but the pursuit of a charm, with subjective emotions of the object shaping, will be the image of the gods, their own characteristics of the part of the vividly sketched out, so that it has the beauty of art.

Sketching is a relatively simple way of drawing, based on smooth and even line drawing. The use of lines to express art, the use of this application in China has an early origin, the drawing of lines in the drawing should be based on the subjective feelings of the designer, taking into account the volume of the object, the direction of the space, the expression of these factors at the same time also need to express the speed and power of the drawing, which is the soul of the role of the line. However, the line constrains the outer contour of the object, each object has a unique appearance of the shape, sketching is through the combination of lines to present a vivid image of the object, pay more attention to the tension of the line performance of the line of the line of the generalization of the power to convey the message of art, an important language of art. Spiritual design of the surface, is the designer of the objective image of the unique conception of the design of the embodiment of the mood, but also the designer's feelings of condensation, the abstract image to give a sense of line, so that the work will appear to be more national cultural connotations and artistic charm.

Animation is a kind of comprehensive art, set painting, film, music, architecture, theater and so on as one. Among them, the influence of painting on animation is important and far-reaching. Vivid characters and touching storylines in animation are often what the audience focuses on, and it is also easy to attract eyeballs. Unforgettable characters are the key elements in an excellent animated film, like Mickey Mouse, Mulan, Donald Duck and other cartoon images, and then a series of excellent cartoon animation images, such as Chihiro, Grandpa Boiler and Granny Soup in The Thousand and Thousand Searches, which have brought far-reaching influence to the animation industry and visual enjoyment to people. It can be seen that a successful animated film and the modeling of animated images are inseparable. And design sketching is to be the basic technology of animation image modeling design.

Animation design is also in the scope of the plastic arts, animation characters, scenes, props design requires strong modeling ability and novel creativity. The public's image of animation generally stays in the exaggerated, weird characteristics, that the virtual existence of the animation image and the real life of the real thing there is a big difference. However, art comes from life, develops in life and is higher than life. There are different styles of animated character images, there are realistic style and relatively exaggerated, abstract, fun style cartoon images. These images are also artistic images, with reasonable proportions, strict structural concepts and relationships, the design of animation image comes from the real image of life, will be used as the basis for exaggeration, is a high degree of generalization of the real thing, to refine, and then exaggerated, deformation to fun, such as the image of the boiler grandfather, although some exaggeration, the shape of its very long arms, responsible for the hand of the different tasks, it is the hand of the life of the The basic structural features of the characters are deformed and shaped by the personality image.

If we can observe the reality of the real existence of objective images assumed to be a living organism, consciously take the initiative to examine the objectivity of the object from a different perspective of the intrinsic connection, will certainly find the prototype of the different potential forms of abstraction. And then through the deduction of the shape of the object, its decomposition, combination and transformation of the design, abstract, novel animation model will be formed.

In summary, animation design in the establishment of the foundation of reality, its design inspiration comes from the reality of the existence of the objective image, if the form of art is separated from the real world as a foundation, all the works of art will not be able to survive independently, appear pale and powerless. Design sketching as a basic technology of animation design, design sketching can effectively cultivate the imagination and creativity of animation designers. And creative thinking is the driving force of sketching design as well as animation design. Design sketching with the help of creative thinking, combined with visual feelings, into the emotions, creative thinking to sublimation, the essence of design sketching in the performance of animation design creativity is fully embodied. And an excellent animation designer, first of all to master the essence of animation design - design sketch, through the design sketch to cultivate visual observation, enhance visual acuity, enhance the ability to visually accept information, through the surface of things to explore the essence of things, contributing to the formation of creative thinking habits, and finally create based on the reality and beyond the life of the flexible animation image, to create a better animation design works, can be compelling, realize the economic and social benefits of animation design. In order to attract attention, realize considerable economic benefits, and produce positive social effects.
