About Yongle Palace Myth Иллюстрация

«Миф дворца Юнлэ» — серия иллюстраций с мультипликационными персонажами, созданная на основе фресок дворца Юнлэ в китайской провинции Шаньси, написанных в эпоху династии Юань. Фигуры с фресок упрощены, стилизованы с элементами гротеска и декоративно переработаны в соответствии с современными вкусами; добавлены такие элементы, как журавли, цветы лотоса и развевающиеся ленты. Иллюстрации выполнены в векторном редакторе, а инструменты работы с кривыми позволили сохранить лёгкость одеяний и линеарную графику оригинальных фресок. Отпечатки выполнены в четыре цвета, чтобы привлечь внимание широкой публики к этим фрескам и вопросам их сохранения.

Yongle Palace, mural, cartoon, illustration, character, myth.
Production Technology
The cartoon is painted by the vector graphic design software Adobe Illustrator. Bessel tools are widely used to depict the elegant and light feeling of the characters' clothing and the essence of the line drawing art of the Yongle Palace mural. The cartoon is printed in four colors for the promotion of graphic design.
Design Challenge
The line drawing technology of this kind of cartoon painting is not easy, so it is necessary to summarize and sort out the frescoes of Yongle Palace, and grasp the characters' expression and the charm of the line drawing. In particular, to draw traditional mural characters in the form of modern cartoon, we need to transform time and space, which needs to be challenged.
Research
Yongle Palace mural needs publicity and recognition. The cartoon character illustration design is based on the prototype of Yongle Palace mural characters, seizing the verve and body style of the characters, and adopting simplification, exaggeration and decoration techniques to upgrade the characters of Yongle Palace mural. Add crane, lotus, ribbon and other elements to show Chinese "Taoist" art and enhance people's sense of identity.
Inspiration
The inspiration comes from the fresco of Yongle Palace, which is a large-scale fresco art painted in the Yuan Dynasty in Shanxi Province, China. With the development of time, the disappearance of murals in architecture is inevitable. Therefore, the preserved murals of Yongle Palace need to be protected and inherited. The mural characters of Yongle Palace designed with cartoon appeal to people to pay attention to and protect the murals of Yongle Palace.
Project Duration
The project started from March 2019 and finished in September 2019 in Shenyang.
Operation Flow
In the publicity of Yongle Palace, the use of cartoon image is an important part of the publicity. With the aesthetic and hobbies of modern people, people's interest and understanding of Yongle Palace will be enhanced, and the murals of Yongle Palace will be deeply rooted in people's hearts.
