Comic composition has 16 basic forms.

Simply put, comics are divided into mirrors, that is to say, the content expressed by each small grid in comics. So it can also be said that all cartoons are made up of small squares of pictures, just like movies, which are made up of small clips. Then I'll tell you how to apply the comic book.

1. Enlarge the manuscript of screen design.

The enlarged screen design is to accurately set the image of the lens according to each shot and the scaling ratio of the original cartoon design draft 1: 1, to complete the description of specific details and the dynamic indication of the changing state, scope and direction of the role activities in the lens, which is an important link in the process of designing the divided lens design draft and the original cartoon.

Therefore, every character in the comic split mirror must strictly follow the norms and graphic requirements provided by modeling design to ensure the accuracy of the image and the unity of the image of the same character in all shots. There is a tutorial specifically for this piece on the light class platform. Therefore, this work requires designers to have a strong grasp of modeling, but also carefully depict the background, accurately set the relationship between the scene, scene line and perspective. After this work is completed, the cartoon of the characters in the foreground will be designed by the original cartoon, and the background will be completed by painting (or making scenery).

Write a composition

Comic shot composition refers to the combination of all image elements in a shot picture. Composition is directly related to the aesthetic feeling of the picture, and there are two aspects that will affect composition.

① the plane spatial relationship of composition

No matter what style of comics, every shot has a plane space relationship. Seen from the plane, the image elements in the picture will form two spatial parts, virtual and real, which will form the contrast of form and quantity and proportion respectively. People can compare shapes and areas with silhouettes of real shapes and imaginary shapes.

This makes it easier to make the plane spatial relationship of composition.

Make a correct judgment. In the comic mirror tutorial on the website of the light class, there is a special talk about this. A cartoon is composed of countless single-frame pictures, some of which flash by, while others stay for a relatively long time. In a series of continuous shooting, each single frame may not be perfect, but the integrity of a group of pictures is very important.

Comic split-shot is noteworthy for the picture on the left and the lens picture with relatively long stay time, because the audience's attention will shift from the plot to the picture at this time.

② Three-dimensional spatial relationship of composition.

Comic mirror shows the deep sense of space in two-dimensional space, which is expressed through perspective principle, cold and warm colors, light and dark levels of the picture and so on. The form of visual space will affect people's psychological mood.

So it's the same as learning movies. In our ordinary works, we can also learn various methods of splitting the mirror of comics, and complete some pictures through splitting the mirror, which will have a higher and stronger expression effect.
