The whole body of the ancient style boy was painted in a cartoon version.The following are some of the key points for drawing a full-body portrait of the archaic boy:
** 1. Overall proportion and composition **
1. ** Head-to-body ratio **
- The common head-to-body ratio of the Q version of the character was 2.5, 5, 6, etc. The Q version of the ancient style boy could choose a 2.5 head-to-body ratio, which meant that the head was 1, the chest was 0.5, and the crotch was 1. Such a ratio could highlight the cute style of the Q version.
2. ** Picture composition **
- In determining the position of the archaic boy in the scene, one had to consider the balance of the scene. For example, the character should not be too biased to one side unless there was a special dynamic or plot requirement. If he wanted to add background elements, such as ancient buildings, flowers, and so on, he had to make sure that these elements would not overshadow the main character, but complement the image of the ancient man.
** 2. Drawing of various parts of the character **
1. ** Drawing Head **
- First, draw a circle as the basic shape of the head, and then add a cross to determine the direction of the face and the position of the facial features.
- The eyes could be drawn into simplified shapes, such as dull, shy, or helpless eyes. The eyelashes could be drawn or not. The nose could be directly replaced by dots. The mouth could be drawn into a semicircle, square, or other simple shapes. Don't draw the chin too pointy. It's more in line with the cute style of the cartoon version. If the head was facing a certain side, the face would bulge to that side, and if it was facing straight ahead, the face would be relatively flat.
2. ** Body Drawing **
- There were three types of body shapes: A-shaped, ladder-shaped, and drop-shaped. For the old-fashioned boys, they could choose according to the dynamic performance they wanted. For example, the drop-shaped body shape was more dynamic.
- The chest was drawn according to the ratio of 0.5. He had to pay attention to the simplified structure and did not have to draw overly complicated muscle lines.
- The crotch part was drawn according to the ratio of 1. The legs should not be drawn as a stick, but consciously draw the structure of the knees. The feet could be simply tied to the toes.
3. ** Drawing limbs **
- [Hand: When drawing a cartoon, the length ratio of the fingers to the palm can be processed to 1:3. The hand structure can also be simplified, or even directly drawn into a bun shape.]
- The lines of the arms and legs had to be simple, reflecting the roundness of the Q version and avoiding overly complicated muscles and bone lines.
4. ** Hairstyle and clothing **
- Hairstyle: There are many types of hairstyles for old-style boys, such as a bun. Pay attention to simplify the structure of the hairstyle. Use simple lines to show the general shape and flow of the hairstyle. For example, you can use several curves to represent the winding shape of the bun.
- [Clothing: The style of ancient clothing is complicated, but it has to be simplified in the Q version.] For example, a robe could use a few simple lines to represent the outline of the robe, folds, etc., and details such as cuffs and neckline could be decorated with simple patterns or lines, such as using double lines to represent the edge of the neckline. He could also add some ancient accessories, such as jade pendants, sachets, etc. These accessories should also be simplified in shape and represented by simple geometric shapes, such as round jade pendants.
** 3. Colors and Details **
1. ** Color Selection **
- You can choose the color according to the ancient atmosphere, such as dark navy blue, black, etc. for the robe, hair can be black or dark brown, etc. The skin color should be a light yellow color, and the color of the accessories could be selected according to the material, such as the jade pendant in light green.
2. ** Add Details **
- After the basic human body shape was drawn, he added details such as hair, clothes, and accessories. It was important to note that the main point of the Q version was to simplify. Some complicated structures could be summarized simply to highlight the cuteness. Finally, he tidied up the messy lines to make the picture cleaner.
