Among the training institutions in the field of "comic design", [Wang's Education] is the leader in China, and it does not join the branches, but is a chain campus directly operated by the headquarters. Different from many other large institutions of the same type: each campus of Wang's Education is physically face-to-face, the teachers are hand-in-hand, and there are special class teachers from morning to night, and the liver-bursting learning mode will improve quickly, especially suitable for students with poor foundation.

Generally, beginners can use 2B pencils and erasers to wipe cleanly, coloring can generally be used color pencils, mistakes can be erased, board painting can be laid to the foundation and then drawn, the earliest can be learned from the proportion, action, expression, detail drawing, one point, two point perspective.

Newcomers want some sketchbooks, 2B pencils and the like, not too much or anything, some crayons, colored pencils, etc., and then you can use gouache or something, but it will take a long time, just grasp it.

Tools needed for paper comics:Comic manuscript paper (beginners can use ordinary white paper instead), pencils, erasers, holding and closing dipping pens, brushes, carbon ink, various rulers, and other tools. The necessity of dipping the pen is reflected in the flexibility of its strokes, and carbon ink can make the manuscript still maintain the blackness of the lines after long-term storage, and the use of ballpoint pen or oil-based pen may change color after a long time, affecting the possibility of reprinting;

Tools you need for CG comics:Computers or laptops, pen tablets and drawing software, commonly used comic software is CSP, others are Photoshop and SAI. A pen tablet is a digital product that can simulate hand-drawn drawings with a pen stroke pressure sensitivity, and can easily complete almost all comic steps with a computer.

For newbies like drawing comics, I'd like to make a little suggestion:

The basics of drawing comics are to learn sketching, perspective, line drawing, and the human body. Sketching and sketching are the most basic skills of drawing, and they are also the first things to learn. Perspective is the method or technique of depicting the spatial relationships of objects on a flat or curved surface.

Line art is a means of quickly representing a comic object. A good line drawing can fully express the image, temperament, material, thickness, etc., and plays an important role as a preliminary sketch in the comic style.

After having these foundations, you can learn about professional drawing in manga. Then I will learn about the use of drawing software and the market demand for comics. If you don't have any foundation and want to enter the comics industry, then I recommend that you sign up for a training institution to study comics.

1. Paper: It is required to be smooth and white, with a certain strength and water absorption, easy to dry after inking, good feel, no lint after eraser, and generally choose 80 grams of 100 grams of A4 or B5 size white paper. In addition, the front and back of the paper are distinguished, and the texture of the front side is relatively smooth.

2. Manuscript paper: used to draw drafts, the requirements for manuscript paper should be that no matter how many times you draw and how many times you wipe, it will not be too fluffy, the paper is not easy to break, and the lines drawn with a dipping pen will not faint, and it is best to choose manuscript paper with high softness and smooth surface.

3. Pencil: Generally used for drafting, it should not be too hard, otherwise it will leave scratches on the paper, and it should not be too soft, otherwise it is easy to make the picture stained by the eraser, so it is advisable to choose HB 4B pencil.

4. Colored pencil: It is a very easy to grasp coloring tool, with a variety of colors, transparency and color, the effect of drawing is light, fresh and simple, and most of them are easy to erase with an eraser. When used on various types of paper, it can be evenly colored, smoothly depicted, the refill is not easy to fall off from the core groove, and there are single series (129 color series, 24 color series, 48 color series, 72 color series, 96 color series, etc.).

5. Eraser: Eraser can erase traces of graphite or ink. There are many types of erasers, with different forms and colors, including ordinary incense erasers, 2b, 4b, 6b and other models of art erasers for painting, as well as plastic erasers.

6. Ink: ink is used with a dipping pen for outlining, and can also be used for large-area black paving, and ink can also be replaced by ink.

7. Color pigments: generally used for coloring, and markers have the same effect, but they are completely different from markers in the form and method of color expression, and the texture of pigments is also different from markers. Color pigments express thicker and richer colors, and the types of paintings are more extensive, while markers are lighter and thinner, the picture looks more active, and the painting style is more elegant.

8. Rulers: There are generally three kinds of rulers used in drawing comics: rulers, triangular rulers, and cloud-shaped rulers. The ruler is the most common and is generally used to draw grid boxes and straight lines, followed by the triangular ruler, which is used to draw parallel lines and right-angled sides, and the cloud ruler is often used to draw curves.
