THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CHIBIS
The chibis we saw in the anime is small and cute. Although he has many styles, his main characteristics are threefold:
big head;
small body;
limbs are short and round.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE HEAD AND THE CHARACTER'S BODY
The head is one of the important parts of the character's body. It is mainly composed of facial features, facial contours and hair, which intuitively expresses the character's appearance. In painting, it is like a ruler, which can match the approximate figure length.
We use the length of one head as a unit to match the length of a character with several heads.
First determine the length of the head, from the top of the head to the chin.
Move the length of one head vertically under the first head to determine the position of the second head length. A chibi with a body length equal to one head can be called a chibi with two heads.
THE RATIO AND BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF FACIAL FEATURES
To draw the facial features of a character, one must understand the location of "three courts and five eyes". "Three courts" refers to the ratio of the length of the face, which is the distance from the hairline to the eyebrow, from the eyebrow to the bottom of the nose, and from the bottom of the nose to the chin, each accounting for 1/3 of the length of the face. "Five eyes" refers to the ratio of the width of the face. It is the length of one eye. The width of the face is divided into five equal parts. From the left side to the right side, it is the length of five eyes. The distance between the two eyes is the length of one eye, and the distance from the outside to the side hair of each eye is the distance between one eye, each accounting for 1/5 of the ratio.
EVEN IF THE FACIAL FEATURES ARE SIMPLIFIED, THE STRUCTURE MUST BE CORRECT
An incorrect head will give people an ugly feeling and make readers have no mood to appreciate it. Therefore, when drawing the head of a character, find out the proportion and structure of the facial features.
Dislocation of facial features
Disorder of facial features
Normal facial features
Although the characters in the anime world have many styles and the appearance of native officials is also different, their basic structure is unchanged. The correct facial features structure and proportion will make the characters appear vivid and cute, so how can we draw the correct facial features?
