Features: If you are interested in cartoon illustrations or cartoon films, this set of books is sure to provide you with great help and inspiration. This is the "Animation Design Illustrated Dictionary." The entire set consists of four volumes, each containing over 10,000 images. The content includes characters, animals, plants, vehicles, daily items, and more. The characters cover actions, expressions, professions, and everyday scenes. For example, among the characters, there are sad people, elderly people, kings, beggars, barbers, and more.
Animals are further categorized by species, such as mammals, birds, fish, insects, reptiles, and amphibians. They are also divided into subcategories, such as fish, which include carps, sharks, goldfish, butterfly fish, and clownfish. Each image is depicted from different angles, showcasing unique styles like unique dogs, fashion-forward dogs, spotted dogs, and fluffy dogs.
Among these over 40,000 images, both anthropomorphic and realistic styles are used, with anthropomorphic styles being predominant. In anthropomorphic works, we retain the main characteristics of the subject while adding human-like actions, making them lively and adorable. For example, in the daily items category, there are dancing pens, crying umbrellas, and wrinkled pockets; in the plants category, there are sad pears and angry pumpkins.
In realistic works, we first preserve their basic external features. Then, we master their natural movement patterns. For instance, some vehicles and daily items in the illustrated dictionary, as well as certain fish and birds, are depicted using this style.
The "Animation Design Illustrated Dictionary" is beautifully printed, rich in content, and covers a wide variety of subjects. The images feature simple yet expressive lines, lifelike shapes, vivid expressions, exaggerated actions, and a humorous, cute, and engaging charm. We hope the "Animation Design Illustrated Dictionary" will become a good friend in your work and studies.
