About Henan Illustration Ilustrazio Seriea

Henan Ilustrazioa Txinako Henan probintziako Zhuxian herriko Urte Berriko zurezko taula tradizionaletan oinarritutako bost ilustrazioz osatutako seriea da. Serieak grabatu horietako pertsonaia klasikoak berrinterpretatzen ditu, estilo lau eskuz marraztuan, ikusle gazteagoentzat egokitua. Pertsonaien lerroak tableta digital batean marraztu ziren, eskuz margotzeko taula batekin, eta gero ertzak eta koloreak irudi-edizio software batean osatu ziren. Kolore hori eta urdin oso saturatuek kontrastea sortzen dute, eta pertsonaia bakoitzak aurpegi-adierazpen desberdina du. Helburua herri-arte hau, itzaltzen ari dena, publikoaren interesa berpiztea da.
