Nowadays, the "secondary element" group is growing, which leads to the increasing popularity of animation design. Many people are learning to design cartoon images. The following is what I have compiled about how to design animated characters. I hope everyone will read it carefully!

1, the circle can bring more lovely feeling than any other shape. This is because cuteness is actually accompanied by a kind of simplicity in character, and a circle without edges and corners is most in line with people's visual expectations of simplicity. Mickey mouse's head is actually made up of three circles. Imagine if Doraemon's head is not round but square, then its cuteness will be greatly reduced.

2, fat can also bring people a sense of cuteness. This is because cuteness is sometimes bred in a silly feeling, and being fat is a good interpretation of this feeling. The chubby figure, in particular, originally meant that this cartoon image design was not suitable for running, jumping, throwing and other sports movements, but when such a fat man does the opposite and makes various sports movements, you will feel that this contradiction and contrast will bring a sense of cuteness. My neighbor totoro written by Miyazaki Hayao is a lovely character, because it is very fat, especially when it moves. The panda named Bobo from the other shore company and Shrek from DreamWorks all won by being fat.

3, Q can also give people a sense of cuteness. The so-called q is actually a relatively large head-to-body ratio. The head-to-body ratio of normal characters is about 1:6, and that of Q-version characters is about 1: 1. Some anime characters even have only heads but no bodies, or they are combined with heads and bodies, because this can maximize the proportion of heads and bodies. Q can make people feel cute, because it restores the animation image design to a child, and the child is cute. The little girl in Hello, Gloria is a Q version. On the one hand, children will read loudly, and adults will find it cute when they read.

The definition of cartoon cartoon image in today's animation field, cartoon image is the smallest part of animation and comics, and it is the embodiment of the structure and modeling of specific images at home and abroad in animation painting. Its characteristic is that it does not pursue the vividness of the picture, but mainly relies on fantasy, imagination and symbol, and uses exaggeration and distortion to convey aesthetics and certain concepts. ;
