Three elements of cartoon image design

When it comes to cartoon images, everyone thinks of loveliness, but loveliness is just a reason for the audience to like a certain image, not the whole reason. Today, the small series to charge everyone.

Word words, the three elements of cute cartoon image is "round, fat, Q".

First, the circle is more lovely than any other shape. This is because, lovable actually is accompanies a kind of character pure existence, but does not have the angular angle circle most conforms to people to the pure visual anticipation. Mickey Mouse's skull is actually composed of three circles, imagine if the head of a dream is not round but square, then its lovely degree will be greatly reduced.

Second, fat can also bring people a sense of loveliness. This is because, the lovely is sometimes conceived in a kind of silly, stupid feeling, and fat is precisely the good interpretation of this feeling. In particular, the fat body originally foreshadowed this image is not suitable for running, jumping, casting and other movements, and when such a fat just the opposite, to make a variety of movements, you will feel this contradiction and contrast brings a kind of lovely feeling. Hayao Miyazaki's Dragon Cat is a role that makes people feel cute because of being fat, especially when it moves. Shore Day company that is called Bobo Panda, Dream Factory monster Shrek, are to win by fat.

Finally, Q can also give people a sense of loveliness. The so-called q, in fact, is relatively large head body ratio. The head body of the normal character is 1:6 or so, and Q edition character's head body ratio is about 1:1, some cartoon image even is only head, have no body, or say is the head body is combined, because this can make the head body ratio achieves the biggest. Q can make people feel cute because it makes the image as a child's body, and the child is to make people feel lovely. "Hello, Kailai" Inside the little girl is a Q version of the characters, on the one hand, the children will be very sympathetic to see, adults will also feel very cute.

Of course, a cartoon image is not immutable, it should be based on the needs of the market at any time to make the image and character fine-tuning-attention is fine-tuning, otherwise it means that the first planning is wrong.
