Let's get to know the drawing board first: the hand-drawn board has a strong name of science and technology-the drawing board, which is named according to its principle. People usually call it sketchpad, sketchpad and hand-drawn board, and the more intimate name is "board". Compared with the concept of handwriting board that appeared in earlier years, it is similar, but after so many years of development, the accuracy of graphics tablet far exceeds that of the previous handwriting board.

Painting is divided into paper painting and computer painting. At present, the cooperation between graphics tablet and computer drawing is called board drawing! The most direct difference between board painting and traditional painting is that the painting media used are different, so don't worry about which one is more advanced or more powerful. Painting is painting comprehension! There is no concept of advanced media. Writing on the blackboard refers to drawing with a graphic tablet, which is different from traditional hand-drawing with paper and pen and drawing with a mouse. Board painting is also called "digital hand painting" because it is more professional and practical. Most illustrators and cartoonists use tablets to draw.

Graphic tablet usually consists of a board and a pressure-sensitive pen, while graphic tablet is mainly aimed at design office workers. Graphic wordpad is used in painting creation, just like a painter's sketchpad and brush. In many movies, vivid pictures and vivid characters are drawn with graphic boards. The drawing function of Graphics tablet is incomparable with keyboard and handwriting board.

Graphics tablet is mainly aimed at designers, teachers and students, advertising companies and design studios, animators and some photographers of fine arts.

Two? Don't let your graphics card sleep, let the graphics card enhance your strength. Graphics tablet is a good thing, but also a magical thing. Its magic lies in how you control it, instead of doodling on it or putting it away after playing for a few days. The graphics card tablet doesn't quite agree with this sleep mode, and can only reflect its value at work. Therefore, if you plan to have a small partner with a graphics card tablet, you must know what the purpose of buying a graphics card tablet is, and whether you want to make the purchase of this graphics card tablet meaningful, rather than putting it away. If so, it is better to be incomplete.

With graphics tablet, you can do all kinds of designs online, and you can also draw cartoons and original paintings. According to my experience in playing graphic tablets over the years, I can take the direction of the original painting of the game. At present, the game industry is very hot, the demand for talents in this field is also very strong, and the salary is particularly high. If you want to learn this piece, you can go to my master to attend classes. Every night, he will do a series of live classes online for free, and zero-based friends can also listen to them. He will explain from the level of skills and Taoism to improve everyone's thinking and technology. He also has many related video tutorials and software. Interested in this industry can go to his original game painting tutorial material skirt: the first set of numbers is: 2. A set of numbers in the central area is: 869, and a set of numbers in the end area is: 377. Just combine the above three sets of numbers. If you can't play, even if you have a graphic tablet, it's just a waste. Graphic tablet can not only create excellent works, bring you economic income and a different future, but also become useless bricks, so learn more about Olympiad and make you a master in graphic tablet.

3. What brand of graphics card tablet is suitable? There are many brands of hand-painted boards, with Wacom as the representative of foreign brands and Hanwang and Ji You as the representatives of domestic brands. I also use Wacom brand hand-painted boards. Wacom brands mainly include four series of hand-painted boards: Banbu series, Yingtuo series, Yingtuo Pro series and Xindi series.

When it comes to graphics tablets, the wacom brand comes to mind first. Wacom is a giant in the hand-painted board industry, and it is also the first choice brand. It is recognized by the industry at present, and there is no doubt. It should be noted that no matter whether it is the up owner of live painting, cartoonists, comic studios, animation companies including game companies, as long as they need hand-drawn boards, almost all of them are wacom products, and few professionals in China use them.

College animation students also use wacom. Many universities offering animation majors have wacom boards in their computer rooms, and some schools even have video extensions. It seems that the worst schools will equip students with 67 1, but it seems that they have never seen domestic boards.

Fourth, there are some suggestions for small partners who want to have a graphics card tablet. (1) Bambu series is the best choice for beginners who want to try and be familiar with digital painting.

(2) For painting students and practitioners, INTO series is the most suitable choice, and INTO Pro series is better.

(3) If you are a professional film illustrator and don't care about the budget, you can buy a new digital screen and feel it.

Five? What should I pay attention to when choosing a graphics tablet? The five most important parameters of the tablet are pressure sensitivity level, reading speed, resolution, drawing area and sensing height.

(1) Pressure sensitivity grade:

The higher the pressure sensitivity of the graphic tablet, the more sensitive it is, and the closer it is to the feeling of hand drawing. The higher the pressure, the more subtle the change of force the pen can feel, the better the change of lines, and the more obvious and delicate the performance on the screen. However, novices can't actually feel the difference between 1024 and 2048 or even 8 192. (The graphic tablet of pressure-sensitive 1024 is completely sufficient).

(2) Reading speed:

Refers to the speed of inductive reading when writing. Generally speaking, if you draw a quick stroke on the board, the lines will be discontinuous. Reading speed above 200 is professional, and 100 can basically meet the needs of ordinary painting. The higher the reading speed, the smoother the painting, because the lines drawn on the drawing board are all generated by points. (At present, the common reading speeds are 133 points/sec, 200 points/sec and 233 points/sec. )

(3) Resolution:

In a sense, it can be understood as a pixel of a "digital camera". Assuming that the actual use area of the graphic flat is composed of countless tiny squares, then the resolution refers to the number of squares per unit area. The more squares there are, the more data each stroke can read. For the same stroke, the higher the resolution, the greater the information and the more flexible the lines.

Test method:

Lines are made up of tiny squares. Enlarge the canvas to 800%, and then see if the squares that make up the lines are even. The more uniform, the higher the resolution. The higher the resolution, the higher the painting accuracy, the better the details of the image, and the less jagged. (At present, the common resolutions are 2540, 3048, 4000 and 5080. If you are not a professional painter, then the resolution does not need to be too particular, 2540 is enough.

(4) Painting area size:

This is a very important parameter, which determines the actual painting scope. The bigger the area, the more expensive it is! Common cardboard sizes are 4× 6/4× 5 (about half of A5 paper), 5× 8/6× 8 (about half of A4 paper) and 9× 12(A4 paper size). The small board is suitable for carrying, and the large board can make the writing range wider and more leisurely. For ordinary couples, the latter two can be used.

(5) Induction height:

As the name implies, it is the maximum height from the pen to the top of the board that can be sensed. As a professional painting design tool, you must be sensitive, and you will not lose focus if you don't lift your pen. Generally speaking, the suitable induction height is 9-15 mm.

Six? Other problems about the tablet. (1) Do you need painting experience to use the hand-drawn board?

It is a very important reference point for beginners of board painting. People with painting experience can easily get started and get into the state quickly as long as they have a little grasp and understanding of painting software. Choose a product with a medium level or above for the graphics card tablet, which can meet your needs for a long time.

(2) Do different design fields need to use different hand-drawn boards?

If you are a practitioner in a painting design field, you should consider your own use before placing an order. There are some subtle differences in technology between the well-known brands of graphics cards. Different technologies will lead to different painting effects in graphic tablet (just as paper is painted on paper, so is the painting effect). Some tablet lines are very thin and stable.
