전 세계 팬들을 사로잡은 〈포켓몬스터〉 카드 일러스트레이터가 알려주는 ‘데포르메 공식!’

『데포르메 세계 그리는 법』은 인물의 등신 비율을 줄여 SD 캐릭터를 그리는 기본 기법부터 동물, 소품, 배경 등 화면 속 모든 요소를 조화롭고 사랑스럽게 표현하는 작법서다. 〈포켓몬스터〉 카드 일러스트를 작업하며 독보적인 개성으로 명성을 얻은 인기 일러스트레이터 ‘시마리스 유키치’. 그가 오랜 독학 끝에 구축해 낸, 대상을 가장 귀엽게 압축하는 그만의 핵심 공식을 최초로 공개한다.

 

이 책은 캐릭터의 비율과 손발 등 기본 그리기부터 의상과 아이템 변형, 동물의 특징 포착, 도형을 활용한 소품 데포르메, 아이 레벨을 적용한 미니어처 배경 연출, 완성도를 높이는 생략 기법, 그리고 실제 표지 일러스트 메이킹 과정까지 알차게 담았다.

 

여기에 캐릭터와 배경의 이질감을 없애기 위해 일러스트 전체의 ‘레벨’을 일정하게 맞추는 노하우와 클립스튜디오를 활용한 선화 연출, 빛과 그림자 표현 등 실전에서 곧바로 쓸 수 있는 실무 팁까지 아낌없이 전한다. 눈은 프로인데 손은 아직 따라주지 않아 답답했던 분들에게, 복잡한 이론 대신 이해하기 쉬운 예시와 설명으로 내 손을 눈높이까지 빠르게 끌어올려 주는 명쾌한 해답을 제시한다.
