Cartoon characters themselves are drawn with dotted lines on the computer in the early stage, and the images they show are also very angular, so they are very suitable for paper cutting, a relatively simple expression.

People all over the country have different styles of paper-cut works. As early as the Han and Tang dynasties, folk women cut flowers and birds into pieces with gold and silver foil and colored silks and pasted them on their temples as decorations. Then it gradually developed. In festivals, colored paper is cut into stories of flowers, animals or people and pasted on the lintel of windows as decoration.

Design cartoon depiction of character muscle structure;

Beginners often ignore the relationship between human bones and joints when describing the dynamic design of animation characters, but directly describe the details of the body mechanism of the characters. So I suggest that when you first come into contact with painting, don't cling to details, but pay attention to the whole.

To determine the muscle proportion of cartoon characters, generally speaking, the arm and leg are four heads long, and the upper arm and lower arm are two heads long, so the leg length is the same, and the approximate muscle position needs to be marked.

Draw a rough relationship between light and shade according to the set light source. This step should be summarized as much as possible to avoid depicting too many human bodies.

Finally, the design of cartoon characters depicts the structure by depicting details, such as the concretization of human body mechanism and the addition of fine structure. If you want to draw the posture of human body accurately and clearly, then you must show the vitality of cartoon character design.

This can be said to be inseparable from observation and study in daily life. In this life, you can observe and study anytime and anywhere, you can observe different movements and different postures, and you can get various postures of the human body by describing the activities of human joints and the placement of limbs.
