Features: Character drawing is a fundamental painting skill for artists engaged in character painting, including those who work in Chinese painting, oil painting, printmaking, comic strips, animation, and other fields that require character modeling. Artists who create character paintings will always relate their work, whether it is on paper or in their minds, to their fundamental skills in character drawing. People are the most important creative element in character painting works. From ancient rock paintings and painted pottery, we can see that the ancestors of the Chinese nation, during periods of low productivity, had already incorporated their familiar self-images into their creations. Modern China is also home to many outstanding character painting works. Among them, the emergence of comic strips and animated films represents an important branch of character painting development. Comic strips and animated works span a wide range, contain deep meanings, and demand higher standards for character modeling, placing stricter requirements on the artistic cultivation of painters and emphasizing the importance of their painting fundamentals. Character drawing is a key fundamental skill for comic strips, and for this reason, this book aims to explore some issues related to character drawing with everyone.
