From there the sky’s the limit.從天空的極限。 For my relatively simple characters I typically include a base color, a highlight and a shadow.對於我國相對簡單的字符本人通常包括一個基地的顏色,一大亮點和影子。 This will cover most everything I’ll need for that character.這將涵蓋幾乎所有我需要的這種性質。

If you create an accessory that needs it’s own color, a bowtie for example, go ahead and name that color “bowtie”.如果您創建了一個配件,需要它自己的顏色,一個領結例如,繼續和名稱顏色“領結” 。 That way you don’t have to think too much when you go to color the character in at the end of your animation.這樣,你不必想太多,當你到彩色的字符結束時您的動畫。 Traditionally speaking animators don’t like to think anymore than they have to, make it as easy on yourself as you can.傳統上發言動畫不喜歡比他們不再認為必須使這一過程變得更容易對自己可以。
