Features: Fortunately, today's young people are passionate about animated cartoons. They hope to create Chinese animated cartoons worthy of their time with their own hands. However, what exactly is animation? What artistic skills and talents are required to make animation? What essential skills are needed for animation? What characteristics does animation have in terms of painting, film, literature, music, dance, and other fields? All these paths we have gradually explored over the years are not entirely clear to them. Some people still believe that mastering computers means mastering everything, seemingly unaware that computers are merely tools. Art, as the theorists of the world have said a hundred times, can only become art when it transcends its practical value. Moreover, the ability to shape is merely one of the many factors required for animation and is not animation itself. These principles need someone to explain to the young people, to educate and guide them, so that they can avoid or minimize the detours others have taken in the past, allowing them to stand taller. Education requires books, practical and student-focused textbooks. The comrades of Shanghai People's Fine Arts Publishing House are determined to do this work, and it is also a very insightful decision. I was asked to write a few words, though I am not well-versed in education, "Lian Po is old," yet he can still express his views. First, I express approval; second, support; and third, a willingness to do my part. This book includes: basic concepts, basic painting training and mastery; preparation before production; basic animation training; analysis and practice of basic movement principles, and more.
