What is an original painter?

After the perspective and all the character designs and backgrounds are ready, someone must put all the materials together and draw an enlarged detailed perspective for subsequent actions. It is the composer who performs the work.

Perspective is often just a sketch, which shows the general scenery of a painting. The composer must draw an enlarged picture of the detailed positional relationship between the characters and the background according to the perspective view, the figure modeling table and the general description of each frame of the background. If the explanation in the composition is not clear, it will affect the original painting work in the future. The completed composition and figure design table are handed over to the original painter, who is required to start drawing a more detailed main mirror according to the composition.

Original painting directors exist because a work usually employs two or four original painters (more or less depending on the work). Every figure painted by the original painter may be out of shape according to his own painting style (or painting skills). The work of the original painting director is to modify the original painting drawn by the original painter, unify the painting style and make it loyal to the character design draft.

A good original painter and director must do some research on the photographic lens in order to draw every main mirror well. Movies can require actors to stand in the right position and pose in the position the director wants. But animation can only draw the ideal position and character movements with strokes. Therefore, an original painter and director with good ability and qualification also refers to being able to draw the ideal main mirror picture (the correct posture and movements of the characters) according to the concepts of photography and editing. As far as the editor knows, many experienced original painters or directors love movies and have done some research on them.

Most of the original painters and original painting directors start from grassroots animators. Because it is necessary to know and be familiar with the animation production process before upgrading to the original painting, it is impossible for newcomers to work in the original painting as soon as they enter the animation company. An animator with good qualifications and hard work is promoted to the original painter and then to the original painting director, which is very fast. Those who are not qualified and don't work hard have to be grassroots animators all the time.

The monthly salary is generally not very low, at least 4,000 yuan per month. But it mainly depends on the benefits of your company. Software: photoshop, coarldraw, painter and other common tools can be used skillfully. If you only do pure two-dimensional animation, the requirements for the original painting are not too high. Generally, the original painter's own painting skills are very demanding. However, more is always beneficial.
