There are professional software between industries, which is not something we laymen can usually buy or even download-the prototype of RPG MAKER was actually a production tool released after the game company eliminated it.
According to the situation of NICO employees in Japan, in fact, a hand-drawn software (such as Photoshop) and a editing software (combustion and AE are recommended) can barely do it-even if the requirements are not high, the software can be non-edited Adobe Premiere or VV.
But the workload is huge, otherwise the animation company would not hire so many people, or even outsource it to the studio in Shanghai and Hangzhou.
Except for a few shots that can be shot secretly with the key action of static pictures, all the original materials should be made and sorted by themselves. Generally, Japanese animation is 30FPS, 5 minutes and 9000. How much can it shrink without blocking?
If it is the latter, just make a MV using the existing material. Simply put, three types of software are needed.
First, format conversion. Convert the selected material to an editable format, or press. TMPGEnc after production.
Second, material processing and production. Picture PS or FW is enough, video, burning and AE are basically enough.
Third, editing. Use the original combustion and AE, or a few that are not edited by personal habits.
Hand-painting is not troublesome, and the use method is quite harsh. It is not cheap to order paper. Before creating cartoons, we must first understand the basic tools necessary for creating cartoons. Because of the diverse styles of comics, there are also various tools for drawing. Here are just a few common basic drawing tools. When drawing cartoons, you need some special tools besides pencils and erasers. Such as base paper, point paper, ruler, scraper, copying table, etc. Here are some details of these tools:
Pencil:
Mainly used for drafting, mechanical pencil is generally better. You can choose refills with different hardness according to your personal habits. You can also use wooden pencils, such as "Zhonghua" brand, and generally use HB or hard H pen.
Rubber:
Used to erase pencil lines or do special effects on dotted paper. Be sure to use a drawing board that doesn't wrinkle and fluff the paper easily.
Ruler:
Cartoon drawing generally requires three rulers: ruler, triangle ruler and cloud ruler. Rulers are generally used to draw borders and straight lines, followed by triangular rulers to draw parallel lines and right angles, and cloud rulers to draw curves. When buying a ruler, be careful not to buy a right-angled ruler, but to buy an inclined ruler.
Ink:
Where all black is needed, painting with ink is darker and more beautiful than painting with black ink. When drawing black, you should start from the outside, carefully draw the outline along the outline of the painting, and be careful not to go out of bounds. Then, fill the pen with ink and fill the middle part.
Duck-billed pen:
Used to draw a straight line in an ink draft. Draw a straight line with neat edges and uniform thickness. When in use, the duckbill pen can't be dipped in ink directly, but it should be dipped in ink with a dipping pen or a writing brush, and then dripped from the gap of the duckbill pen, and the thickness of the drawn line segment is determined by adjusting the screw at the front end of the pen. When drawing a straight line, the pen is perpendicular to the paper, and the horizontal cable is pulled evenly, not too fast, so as to draw a uniform straight line.
Mike pen:
It is often used to draw large areas of black or special effects, and can also be used to draw thin lines. Sometimes you can also use colored pens to color the manuscript, which is different from the traditional style manuscript and more avant-garde. Its effect is just like the renderings, and the strokes are obvious, which is not easy for beginners to draw well. There are two kinds of pens: oily and water-based.
Black ink:
Black ink works well when drawing lines, and it dries faster than ink, and it is not easy to be dissolved by water after drying. In addition, black advertising color can also be used to paint black. The advantage is that the black advertising color will not reflect light, and it has a dark feeling, which is convenient for computer scanning. When using, it is forbidden to adjust too much or too little water.
White:
Used to decorate the wrong and dirty parts, white can make the picture gorgeous and changeable. The white color of the poster is commonly used. When using, pay attention to adjust the concentration. Different concentrations will have different effects. When drawing white or small white dots on the dot paper, dip it in thick white. In addition, drawing a light white in the highlights of hair, eyes and clothes can better reflect its texture and three-dimensional sense, and the picture is more layered and aesthetic, while the flying white line drawn at will has the feeling of illumination, which plays the role of "finishing touch".
Writing paper:
Used for sketching. The requirements for paper should be that no matter how many times it is drawn and rubbed repeatedly, it will not lose hair, not be damaged, and the lines dipped in the strokes will not be dizzy. It is best to choose manuscript paper with high cotton content and smooth surface. Generally speaking, the papers commonly used by professional cartoonists are: special drawing paper for cartoons or drawing paper, watercolor paper, white cardboard and so on.
Point paper:
Used for gray tones or other special effects. There are many kinds of patterns on the dot paper, the most commonly used ones are "gray net" and "gradient net", and some "environment net" and "pattern net" can be used together. There are two kinds of dot paper: paper mesh and rubber mesh.
Art knife, pen knife and screen pressing knife:
Usually used for scraping the net, art knife is generally used for cutting the net, and pen knife is generally used for scraping the net. Skillful use of pen and knife is very important for cartoon making. In addition, due to the limited viscosity of dot paper, we also need to use a screen cutter to firmly stick dot paper to the manuscript paper. If there is no screen cutter, we can also use fingernails instead.
Brush:
You can paint a large area of color, or you can dip it in white to repair the painting. But the white brush must be used separately from other brushes, and the used brush must be cleaned.
Drawing pen:
Drawing pen is a very slender pen, which is often used to draw borders and lines with uniform thickness. The thickness of the drawing pen ranges from 0. 1mm to 2mm, but the commonly used size is 0.6mm to 0.8mm. Because the pen tip of the drawing pen is even in thickness, the drawn lines are not sharp, so it is not suitable for multiple purposes. Because the pen tip of the drawing pen is very thin, it is easy to block the pen tip when the ink is dry, so cover the pen cap in time after use. If the ink doesn't come out when you use it, you can flick it up and down or dip the pen tip in water, which is really bad. Can be soaked in clear water.
Dip pen:
It is used for inking, but there are many kinds of dip pens, and the thickness and shape of the nib are different. We can choose dipping pens with different thicknesses according to what we draw. G pen tip is very elastic, and can draw lines with different thicknesses according to the strength, especially the thick lines drawn are very smooth, which is most suitable for drawing outlines. The round nib is suitable for drawing very thin lines, but it can also draw thicker lines like the G nib if it is forced, and it can change freely. On the whole, it is thinner than the G pen, so some people only use it to draw details or backgrounds.
Copy desk:
Because the adhesive tape is divided into paper mesh and plastic mesh, especially the transparency of paper mesh is low, so it is necessary to use a copying table to increase the transparency of the mesh, so that it can be accurate when cutting and pasting the mesh. (LSMH finishing)

When drawing lines with pens and rulers, such as dip pens, duckbill pens and drawing pens, the ruler should be used with the inclined plane downward (if the ruler tool has no inclined plane, a thin object such as "coin" can be pasted under the ruler). Don't soak too much ink in the pen tip, so as to avoid the ink at the joint between the ruler and the pen leaking out of the line and polluting the drawing.
When the painting is accidentally stained, it can be repaired with correction white. When using correction white, pay attention to adding as little water as possible, and cover it after the pigment covered for the first time is completely dried, so as to avoid that the correction white accumulation is too thick to affect the picture effect.
If you can't repair the painting by altering it, you can cut a piece of paper slightly larger than the picture to be repaired, stick it on it with glue and redraw the repaired part. Or put a clean manuscript paper under the draft, and then carve out the part that needs to be modified with a knife, so that you can get a piece of paper with the same shape as the modified part, then embed the carved paper on the draft like a jigsaw puzzle, stick it firmly on the back with a slightly larger and thinner paper, and draw the carved part again.
When "scraping the net", don't use too much force to avoid scratching the net paper and desktop. When you need to scrape some straight lines, you can use a ruler, but put the blade flat to avoid scratching the ruler. When using a knife, you can also prepare a rubber pad or do this work on the glass of the copy desk.
When you need the effect of "pasting nets and overlapping nets", you can use a copying table. Note that when using the copy table, you can choose "frosted" glass as the transparent plate, and the light source of the copy table can choose fluorescent lamp, and try not to use incandescent lamp.

Comic is a kind of picture form that emphasizes the final effect; There are many kinds of drawing tools. We choose different drawing tools according to our own habits, but most people still use special drawing materials. Here, I still suggest that you choose standard materials, because special line drawing materials are easier to draw professional lines, especially for beginners.
First of all, you should have a pen. Generally, G-shaped and round pens are used, and the price ranges from several yuan to more than ten yuan. And a good pen is relatively expensive. As far as I know, in Shanghai, pens made in China are generally 3-5 yuan, pens imported 15-20 yuan, and pens are generally around 20 yuan. In addition, there are ink, eraser, white advertising color, stylus, duckbill pen and ruler.
In addition to the above, there are also drawing papers. At present, there are 40 original cartoons on the market, generally around 20 yuan. It is suggested to use copy paper to make drafts, "Kent paper" for rich manuscripts and drawings for those without money. Use it carefully and don't rub it too many times.
Comparison of various written forms
Made in taiwan's D pen
The lines are slightly changed, and the writing style looks very soft, which is suitable for drawing all kinds of lines and is a universal pen.
Japanese d pen
The elasticity is smaller than that of D pen made in Taiwan Province, and it is suitable for drawing background, hair, laser line (radiation, etc. ).
Japanese hard G pen
The elasticity is greater than that of D pen, which is suitable for drawing the outline and thick lines of characters, giving them a three-dimensional sense.
Round pen
Most suitable for stippling or extremely delicate effect lines or partial shadows. Be careful when drawing, it is easy to scratch the paper, and thin lines are its advantages.
Student pen
Small elasticity, it can be used to draw effect lines with the same thickness, or light, buildings and backgrounds.

Among hundreds of dots, dot paper is the most widely used. If you are just starting to use it, use some paper first. According to the size and the distance between points, there are various models, and IC number 4 1 should be used first. If the dots overlap, the dots will become denser. Be careful not to paste too much. Before pasting some paper, be sure that the picture will not become too complicated.
[Through paper]
It is a thin and transparent paper used for painting.
[blue pencil]
If a pencil line is left on the manuscript, it will be printed, but don't worry about the blue pencil. However, if you stick fine paper on a blue pencil, it will sometimes be printed.
[tracking]
On pencil drawing, draw a line with a dip pen dipped in ink. Of course, dip pen can also be changed into dip pen or brush pen, signature pen, drawing pen, round pen and marker. At present, a variety of tracing tools have been developed, but the main tool is dip pen.
[whitening]
Refers to the white poster color. Use and correct the wrong line. If it is too thick, it will leak, if it is too thin, it will be too transparent, but cover the line to be corrected and use a moderate shade.
[against white]
Anti-white means writing white words on the blackened parts or drawing them with white lines.
[Kent paper]
A kind of paper suitable for drawing cartoons. Compared with high-quality paper, it feels much more difficult to draw. You can draw neat lines, and there are other high-quality papers suitable for base paper. In fact, this is just a general situation, and the most important thing is to look at the user's feelings.
