Features: If you are interested in cartoon illustrations or cartoon films, this book series 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, etc. Animals are further categorized by species, such as mammals, birds, fish, insects, reptiles, and amphibians. They are also divided into subcategories, like fish, which include goldfish, sharks, koi, clownfish, and more. Each image is depicted from different angles, showcasing vivid and unique personalities. For instance, dogs are illustrated in various ways, such as dominant dogs, impoverished dogs, fashionable dogs, spotted dogs, and long-haired 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 features 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 example, some vehicles and daily items, as well as certain fish and birds in the illustrated dictionary, 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 concise lines, lifelike designs, vivid expressions, exaggerated actions, and humorous, cute, and engaging themes. We hope the "Animation Design Illustrated Dictionary" becomes a good friend in your work and studies.
