About most of the animations and comics of the "Domestic Hope" series...

The Chinese style in my mind is like this, with graceful and soft lines, and a strong ink style

Why do people have categories such as Japanese comics, American comics, and Hong Kong comics? You Do you really think this has nothing to do with the style of painting?

In these pictures, it’s obvious which faction the style belongs to, right?

Japanese comics first developed from Ukiyo-e, with styles ranging from realism to exaggeration. What has never changed is the insistence on two-dimensional plane drawing. In my understanding, the most popular one is probably the simple facial features.

, the eyes are cartoonish regardless of whether they are big or small

, and the lighting and shadows are clearly separated

Can you recognize Huang Mingyue’s comics as Japanese comics? In addition to the strong Chinese elements, it is very important that it reduces the presence of the above elements and is more realistic. Therefore, even if it is a Japanese comic, it is not the mainstream Japanese comic style in people's minds. In the same way, there are also Yamada Akihiro's comic works:

Do you feel that it is different from popular Japanese comics, because the style of Japanese comics is so deeply rooted in people's hearts that it has been completely finalized. As for other styles, although There are people in various regions drawing similar paintings, but at least they are not branded as Japanese, and there is still room for development.

I feel that if domestic animation wants to be distinctive, it is better to be more realistic. At least the eyes should not look like Japanese comics. . The ink style is completely Chinese but may not be very suitable for modern contexts.

However, the development of domestic animation is not easy. It is worthy of encouragement to have original and excellent works. It is better to explore the style slowly.
