"Drawfest 2" jointly held by Wacom and Pixiv.An animator in the Ra Kogaku War was on stage in the afternoon section.
What is the first point to decide when drawing "hair fluttering in the wind"?
The stage was XRIVERN (XRIVERN), who was involved in the Ra Kokuro War as an animator."Hair expression" is explained based on Mugen, the main character of the work.
In this section, I used a professional software "TVPaint Animation", but Xiaolon calls on the viewer to "draw with a tool that suits me."In the first half, we explained how to express hair when the character hits the character, and how to create a simple loop animation in the second half.
First, I will draw the hair of a still character.The place to be aware of here is the shape of the hairline (near the forehead and the temple)."I usually hide with my hair, but it will be revealed when it is blown by the wind, so I need to decide in advance."
So I will actually try to draw.Depending on the thickness of the hair, the head line will swell.Where the hair hangs on the shoulder, a soft cloth is on board.At the front angle, you are aware that the bangs can have a space between the foreheads.The hair tips are drawn inside.
Next, draw when a weak wind blows.The bangs have a little effect, but the back hair does not move much, and it flutters some back.Looking from the front, you can see how the hair opens left and right and swells slightly.
When it comes to medium strength, long bangs can swell left and right.The back hair is crossed by the neck, so it has not been that much yet."Think of your hair as a cloth," said Xiaolon.
When the wind becomes stronger, the bangs flow behind.The back hair is fluttering, and the neck can be seen.In the profile, if the bangs on the other side of the face are glanced, it will be a more picture -like expression.
In the front angle, the hair is held down and approaches the scalp.Here, don't make your hair symmetrical.The rear hair is large, and it looks like floating in the air.
This time, when the wind blows from behind.The bangs are covered with the face, and some hair behind the ears flutter.At the front angle, don't even block your face.Including the back hair, the whole hair flows to the front and is disturbed.
Again, be careful not to synchronize the movement of the left and right hair of the face.Mr. Xiaolon said, "The strong wind scene is a chance to draw the movements that shine. It is important to draw with consciousness."
Finally, when the wind blows from the bottom.Draw with the image of no gravity and floating feeling.Shaooron is easy to draw when he wears a skirt and jumps and is aware of the movement when falling down.Send advice so that the top of the head is fluffy and the tip of the hair becomes lighter.
Demonstrating the animation of fluttering hair
In the second half, we created a fluttering loop animation.
In the first place, Xiaolon prepared three animations: A, B, and C.It seems to be helpful when expressing hair fluttering in the wind.The appearance of A's SIN curve (sign curve) of this seems to be the movement itself when long hair flutters in the wind.
B is the movement required for "short hair" or "fluffy hair".When perm and short hair, a lot of air enters between the hair and stretches and shrinks, so the hair moves like a elastic object.Mr. Xiaolon advised, "If you move the whole hair as a water balloon, it will work."
C is an expression of the division of hair.In the shrinky state, the division appears, but the separation disappears as it grows.
By the way, we started creating animation from here.When the wind blows from the front, the bangs move A.Refer to B and C for the movement of the whole hair.
Mr. Xiaolon commented, "When the character is still, the hair is close to a rectangle, but when it is blown by the wind, it becomes the image of a slimming tip."In other words, the bangs come behind in response to the wind from the front and squeeze the hair behind, but the hair on the back is slow to move than the bangs because the movement is slow.The hair separation is repeated and narrowed accordingly.
Express the rhythm in anime.In the context of not being too matched, the context of the hair also explained that "if it is appropriately irregular, it will be a natural animation."
In this way, a simple loop animation of the fluttering hair is completed while drawing each frame and repeating fine adjustments.After this, careful commentary continued, such as creating anime when a stronger wind blows.
"How to move the hair and how to jump up. Please try various expressions based on the content of the lecture," says Xiaoron.More than 800 viewers in the section were over 800, and many favorable comments were received from overseas.
Mugen and Fushie's "Difference in hair quality" and ease of drawing
At the end of the seminar, Xiaolon wrote his impressions on the illustrations drawn by the participants during the lecture and answered the viewers' questions.
As for the question of how much of anime has been studying about the movement of anime so far, he said, "I took a graduation work when I was a student, and the animation of my hair, clothes movements.I often do it. The accumulation of these experiences has lived and I can move the animation. "
When asked if the hardness of the character's hair is determined in the Ra Kokuro Senki, "At the stage of the character setting, the hair, hardness, and softness are clear, so I draw it according to it.And comment.Like Mugen this time, soft and long hair is accustomed to moving beautifully, but it is difficult to draw a lot of consideration to draw beautifully and fluffy hair like Hushi., I was talking.
In addition, Xiaolon's section is currently released an archive.If you are interested in animation work or fans in the Ra Kogaku War, please take a look.
