SD 캐릭터 그리기를 넘어, 화면 전체를 귀여움으로 가득 채우는 방법!
그림을 시작할 때 어려운 인체 해부학과 원근법 이론 앞에서 좌절하는 사람들이 많다. 『데포르메 세계 그리는 법』은 복잡한 인체 데생과 정교한 배경 투시를 마스터하지 않아도, 누구나 자신만의 매력적인 세계를 그려내는 법을 제시한다.
인물과 동물은 쉽게! 복잡한 신체 구조를 단순한 형태로 포착하기
뼈대와 근육을 복잡하게 계산하는 정석적인 인체 데생은 잠시 나중으로 미뤄도 좋다. 이 책은 몸통을 ‘사다리꼴 곤약’ 모양으로 과감하게 단순화하여 그림을 그리는 심리적 부담을 확실하게 덜어준다. 복잡한 디테일에 매몰되지 않고 직관적인 ‘덩어리’로 대상을 파악해 매력적으로 압축하는 방식은 동물 표현에서도 그대로 이어진다. 골격에 얽매이지 않고 대상의 핵심 매력만 쏙쏙 솎아내는 저자만의 감각 훈련법과 풍부한 예시 그림을 통해, 입문자도 인물과 동물 캐릭터를 다채롭고 귀엽게 완성할 수 있다.
소품과 배경은 조화롭게! 캐릭터와 찰떡같이 어울리는 귀여운 공간 연출법
소품과 배경을 그릴 때 가장 큰 난관은 수학 공식 같은 투시 원근법이다. 저자는 골치 아픈 투시 이론 대신, 머릿속에서 사물의 각도를 바꾸어 보는 연습과 상자·원기둥을 이용해 사물을 데포르메로 그리는 요령을 소개한다. 특히 아기자기한 소품들로 하나의 세상을 만드는 ‘미니어처 모형 일러스트’ 연출법은 이 책의 백미다. 원근감이나 아이 레벨 같은 어려운 개념을 완전히 몰라도 쉽게 따라 할 수 있어, 배경 그리기가 막막했던 초보자가 레이아웃 연습을 시작하기에 가장 좋은 가이드가 되어준다.
책을 덮고 나면 사물을 어떻게 바라보고 변형해야 하는지, 나만의 개성을 어떻게 표현해야 하는지 스스로 깨닫게 될 것이다. 내 안의 창작 욕구를 온전히 살려내어, 나만의 사랑스럽고 귀여운 세계를 마음껏 그려내고 싶은 모든 이들에게 이 책을 권한다.
