The ACTF (Animation Creative Technology Forum) is an event held by the Japan Animator and Directing Association (JAniCA) and Wacom, Celsis, for the purpose of exchanging information and personnel exchange related to digital production technology of animation industry people. It is an event for industry. The Machi ★ Asobi business trip lecture unfolded the talk about digital drawing that was easy to understand even for visitors who had nothing to do with the animation industry.

While talking with JAniCA, Hideyuki Otsubo, who is in charge of the course proceedings, directed by Yasuhiro Irie who is drawing pictures even with ' Wacom MobileStudio Pro 16 '.



However, when I draw a storyboard at work, I use a 13-inch thing. The reason is that as the number of inches increases, the distance to move the arm on the tablet increases, so the distance decreases. In addition, it is OK if you know that storyboards 'put such a picture,' and there is also a reason that fine drawings are not required.

One of the reasons why Irie moved the environment to a digital work that was once said to be 'feeling like drawing with a crane game' because of its reactivity is 'The part where paper is superior in himself' Because 'the superior part of the digital' had exceeded '. If it is paper, it will take time and effort to get it prepared by the production staff, but if it is digital, it will be unnecessary if the equipment is available. Another reason is that the eraser can be applied easily. Irie-san used to use erasers many times on paper because of strong writing pressure, but in the case of digital drawing, there is a big merit that the line disappears at Undo.

And, Irie who draws a picture with

CLIP STUDIO PAINT (クリ スタ) while talking like this. As I said, 'I'll move on next time' I draw as I think, so I keep drawing without stopping my hand, and if I have a policy of 'Let's make it this way,' time to stop and think Is said to be coming out. Therefore, at this point in time I did not know what happened to the girl after an hour.



The brush used for drawing is a

pencil R by redjuice known as an illustrator. In the case of Mr. Irie, instead of looking for 'this kind of brush' by himself, I search for a good one to try actually using the recommended brush that has flowed on Twitter as collective intelligence of the net, That way of doing that.

It should be noted that although it is better to use Christa if you want to draw animation and create crispy pictures, it is better to use Flash if you want to focus on camera work and so on. Basically, with the stance of using new applications when necessary, ToonBoom StoryBoard Pro uses it because it has the function of outputting storyboards to movies immediately. StoryBoard Pro is a well-known software that Makoto Shinkai is using .

The movie export of Conte is more convenient to create a Conte shooting when it is necessary to match a short video image with music like OP, and Irie says that there are increasing cases of creating a movie conte. However, in the field of TV animation, for example, even when showing a movie content to a director who works with paper, it seems that the problem of what to do to fix the content comes out, so it is hardly used. As a function, if it is possible to put a layer in the case of CRISTA and put a correction as 'Please draw the arm here at this angle' (the green line to the left arm of the image and character below) it is possible as a workflow Whether it is actually possible is another thing.



Data handling and rework are not yet clearly organized in the industry, and there are cases where there is no manual in the field where there are usually no people making digital drawings. As a matter of fact, it would be impossible to distinguish between hand-painted and digital drawing by looking at the finally completed screen unless it was declared that the animator who participated was doing digital drawing. Irie. Even if you are going to print out and handle digital drawings, it seems that they are almost the same except that they can not be erased directly with the eraser.

And so far, there are not many animators who are making digital drawings in the animation industry, and it seems that it is impossible to gather the number of people who can create one cool work, although they are in place. However, since the number is steadily increasing, it is expected to be realized over time.

As one of the things to be careful when drawing originals in digital drawing, Irie mentioned that 'it can be expanded to any extent'. By increasing the magnification, it is possible to correct up to every dot in extreme expression.



However, when it is actually broadcasted, it will be broadcasted in a different size than enlarged. In other words, just because you insist on 'this one pixel ...' does not mean that it is actually reflected on the screen. Mr. Irie's view is that digital drawing is a good tool if you can assign such points and decide your own rules if you don't build it up to that point.



While talking with ...... etc., Irie-san created an animation of about 8 seconds in which a girl kicks and jumps with 60 pieces during an event for a little while. What kind of image is published in Irie's official Twitter account. In the second half, there is a trend that the girl who finished the jump will start to move as if it starts running, but this seems to be the effect of the event approaching the scheduled time and entering the summary.



In addition, Irie carries out an event to draw caricatures with parasols of the boardwalk during the period of this Machi ★ Asobi vol.22.



Colored paper is colored with watercolors. Mr. Irie drew this up 14 sets a day in 20 minutes each.



Also on NHK's news, Irie-san's caricature live drawings were reported.
