In my film, i have a plot need to draw ghost fire, when the monster’s big face is appearing. But i find i am not good at it. Drawing fire is not as easy as i think. Fire is nature, it doesn’t have a changeless shape, it changes each seconds. For me, i do not like fire, because it is really dangerous. But if in the winter, when i am cold, i will like it, i will get closed to it to make me warm.
In the animation, because the plot and the style of the animation, fire can be normal, horrible, cute, magic, angry, sad and so on. Because there are so many differences between fire and fire. I think i have necessity to research fire’s action.
The most unforgettable fire for me comes
from Howl’s Moving Castle which directed by
Hayao Miyazaki. Hayao Miyazaki is one of my favourate animators. The fire in this film i think like a protector or housekeeper. The fire is a devil but a kind and easygoing devil. The fire here is more cute. it has fire’s body and rich, cute emotions. I think give fire a certain life is also the way to draw fire. The fire here is not a scene in the film, it is a character.
The fire here is really different from what i think in the normal animation. it has a black main body, the color is really different from others. And the animator use the little things which moving in the black body to show the fire’s power. At the same time the main black body also have fire’s moving. And the main fire is sharp like a mountain, but what inside is more soft and unshaped. This can make people accept easily this is a fire even it is a really new different style. I really like this design. It make the fire has more different feelings.
The fire here more like a magic fire. Because the style of the character, the fire also has different design——-it has grain. The grain makes the fire be inflexible but the animator try to make the fire’s outline have more changes. It makes the fire have life and at the same time be characteristic.
This is a normal fire’s feeling in the animation. This is also beautiful, the colors have changes from the bottom to the top . The fire also have it three layers i think. The inner fire, the middle fire and the outside fire. So you should have changes not only from bottom to top, but also from inner to outside. Really need time to research it.
