About Yongle Palace Myth Kielelezo

Maandishi ya Kitabu: Yongle Palace Myth ni mfululizo wa vielelezo vya wahusika wa katuni vinavyotokana na michoro ya kuta ya Ikulu ya Yongle huko Shanxi, Uchina, iliyochorwa wakati wa Enzi ya Yuan. Wahusika wa michoro hiyo ya ukutani wamerahisishwa, kutiwa chumvi na kupambwa ili kuendana na ladha ya kisasa, na vipengele kama korongo, maua ya lotus na riboni vimeongezwa. Vielelezo hivyo vimechorwa kwa kutumia programu ya vector, na zana za curve zimetumika kudumisha hisia nyepesi ya mavazi pamoja na sanaa ya mistari ya michoro asili ya ukutani. Machapisho hayo yametengenezwa kwa rangi nne ili kuhamasisha hamu ya umma katika michoro hiyo na uhifadhi wake.

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.
