Do I need to buy a needle pen to draw comics?

At present, the quality of domestic needle pens is really disagreeable, and the few pens purchased during the previous design class were blocked and could not be used for a long time. However, when buying an imported needle pen, you have to match it with imported ink, otherwise it will hurt the nib. This can all cause problems for painting.

If you need to draw a very thin line, there should be a very thin nib in the nib, which is used to draw a thin line.

Of course, the needle pen is not only used to deal with the background, but people who study architecture and design usually use the needle pen as a standing tool, and the needle pen can ensure the balance of line thickness when drawing. However, the high-quality syringe pen is very high, and the ink equipped with it is also relatively expensive, and many designers regard their syringe pens as treasures.

My personal experience is that if you don't mind, any kind of pen can be used to draw manga. I myself often use commercially available gel pens, and there are and there are different nibs, especially after the ink of the gel pen dries, I can ensure that the ink will not leak when inking or coloring. Then there is the use of a set of manga nibs, in addition to commercially available manga ink, sometimes with gouache or watercolor.

Of course, this is just my habit, and you don't necessarily have to adopt it.

You need too many good tools. In addition, each tool is not unique, so you can draw as many as you want to develop new uses. I've tried drawing comic backgrounds with airbrushes for decoration

The needle pen is generally used to process backgrounds, such as drawing buildings, drawing speed lines, etc.

I don't think you need to draw a manga.

Hooking with a needle pen is naturally the best, I learn design, but also like to draw their own comics, the advantage of the needle pen hook is that it continues to ink and will not appear ink ball [of course, the first time to get started or to be proficient].

The domestic pencil is also 5 yuan, and the brand is a bit too much......Tell you about their pros and cons:

1. Cherry blossoms (**): black color, long time, overall.

2. Cherry blossoms (high imitation): gray in color, short use time.

3. Domestic: black color, short life, a little ......It's easy to break [but his color is black, qaq advantages!] 】

For the first time, you can buy three models, one of which will find a matching method that suits you after a period of time (buy 005 when you are proficient and use it to draw details). If it's a pure hand-drawn party like me, you can also buy some additional tools, such as markers and highlighters [this is also recommended for the Sakura brand, because other brands of highlighters can't be used at all, 8 yuan a piece].

Finally, of course, the needle pen is disposable, and it will be discarded when used However, its lifespan is not as short as you think, and it can still be used for a long time if it is well maintained [for example, remember to close the lid ......】

The following is my needle pen + marker pen + highlight stroke [Yan and black hair version = =||.]Shame on ......You can see the effect:

The good use of the needle pen is disposable. It works very well, and the thickness of a pen is the same. The lines are very even.

There are many different models of pens, etc., which are said to be thick.

The needle pen water is very flushed, and the thick pen water is quickly used up. The needle is quite expensive. But it works. I've used another needle pen for hooking!! Many of those who study design have used a needle pen.

The needle pen is water-based and can be written on a pencil, not like a ballpoint pen or something else.

If you use a fountain pen dipped in water, don't use sketch paper In this way, use very scraped paper It is best to use A4 paper (1L said that the original paper is very expensive, which is too luxurious for amateurs) Or other smooth paper If you dip it in a fountain pen, buy Zebra's Although it is a little more expensive, it is very easy to use If you don't use a dipped fountain pen well, you can use a pencil This is also relatively simple to use You can buy two or three different thicknesses to use alternately.

The most used color is Mark, watercolor, color pencil Mark is the most expensive one, I don't use much color pencil If you are a novice, you don't need to buy too expensive You can go to the painting material store to buy the kind of water-soluble one more than one on the line The difference between this brand and something should not be very big Just don't buy the Chinese one.

Beginner markers with touch on the line, the color of this brand is relatively less, if not enough, you can buy other brands with cheap markers The bad point is that sometimes the color of the same model of the pen will be different, and the color of different models will be the same, but the effect of painting is no different from that of the dollar.

There is also a marker for the topic, which is basically used by cartoonists, which is expensive and inhumane and not easy to buy in China.

It depends on what type of pen you are doing, and your own style, you don't need to buy all the special pens for general comics, and you must have a few to use for beginners. In the case of paper, it also depends on the nature of the pen you use. (Don't be too shady, easy to see, don't fluff).

In this step, the cartoonist uses a pen to aim at the line drawn while making the sketch. At this time, the line drawn is the effect of Japanese printing. (Level Difference).

The differences in expression style and pen use between cartoonists are most evident at this stage.

Some people use small changes in thickness and hard nibs to paint.

Some use a pen with a strong elastic tip and a large change in thickness.

For example, some comic book writers learn to use a soft nib G pen with a large change in thickness in order to hone their drawing skills. There are also cartoonists who use a fine brush to draw lines, which can only be used well by people with a fairly high level.

There are also some that are drawn in their own unique way, such as scratching with a pencil and erasing with paper. It is neither netted nor blackened, and the final effect is also very good. (Use with caution).

1. Mechanical pencil, high-quality refill, HB-2B is preferred.

2. Professional painting eraser.

3. Comic pencil0

4. Comic paper (can be replaced by high-quality copy paper).

5. Small Kai brush (2 pieces).

7. Small saucer or palette.

8. White gouache pigment (1 tube).

9. High-quality black ink.

For paper, it is best to use original paper, which is smoother than sketch paper. The dip pen is okay, I've used it, but remember to buy a better ink!

Mark is the most used in the written cartoonist, I haven't used it, but I heard that it's good.

If you have a computer, I recommend buying a hand-drawn tablet, as digital painting is now mainstream. Painter is a software that mimics all kinds of brushes!

It is best to use a comic dipping pen or needle pen for comic sketching.

Mistakes can be corrected with a sandy eraser or correction solution.

Hand shaking solution: 1. Practice drawing more 2. When encountering a line segment that cannot be completed in one breath, it is necessary to "start lightly and close the pen quickly", and pay attention to the connection between the lines

First of all, you should analyze what kind of work is your work? Black and white works are not charcoal-like, but color or grayscale works may use charcoal to outline.

Black and white comic works should be drawn with a dipping pen or needle pen.

Dip pen: Use to draw a line when drawing comics.

The following are the common nibs of the dip pen:

G nib features: G pen is the kind of dipping pen with strong elasticity of the nib, according to the size of the force and draw lines of different thicknesses, especially the thick lines drawn are more smooth, the most suitable for drawing contour lines. (i.e., the large structural lines of the human body).

Characteristics of the round nib: suitable for drawing thinner lines, if you use a little force, the lines will become thicker, and the elasticity is average. Used to draw details, such as:

Eyes, eyebrows, etc., ......(You can also draw effect lines with the help of a little elasticity, because it is more delicate, some girl's comics use it directly to draw, instead of using a G nib.) ）

Characteristics of the student's nib: almost no elasticity, relatively thin lines. Ideal for drawing backgrounds, patterns, and effect lines.

I think the most useless dipping pen is this, using this nib is not as good as using the ordinary water storage nib of the lighthouse, the cost is low, and the effect is good. In addition, the background building personally prefers the needle pen, and the background of the needle pen is better to use).

D nib features: elasticity between the student nib and the g nib. You can draw background and effect lines, as well as some border lines. (The lines drawn by this pen are relatively thick, and individuals rarely use them).

Whistle nib features: whistle nib tip tip tip upturned, there are many changes in the strokes, very easy to use, according to personal preferences and style. (Some people use it to draw background buildings and hair, and I personally think it's better to draw effect lines and write word art).

In addition, there are other nibs, such as a fine nib that can draw very thick lines, an art nib for writing, a spoon-shaped nib for blackening large areas, and a J-shaped nib that does not change the line.

Personally, I feel that these nibs should be prepared at least G nibs and round nibs. The rest will be fine according to personal preference.

A needle pen, also known as a drawing fountain pen, is a tool designed to draw ink line drawings that are precise and have the same width.

When drawing comics, it is often used to draw lines, and when drawing lines for characters, you have to repair the lines twice and thicken the key positions. I prefer to use it to outline the background buildings or some details and lines. Generally, it is enough to prepare the smallest two numbers.

If you use charcoal to draw the line, if you don't control it well, the powder will fall out, the needle pen will not, it is more suitable for beginners, and the needle pen is also relatively thin. Newbie, ask for adoption
