"The Lotus Lantern" is really a very classic fairy drama. Not only is the core of the story, the core of the story is Chinese traditional culture, and the creation, from the character interpretation to the styling design, is well-made. There are a lot of classic styles in
, which cannot be surpassed until now. In this issue of ancient costume styling guide, let’s take a look at the stunning styling designs in "Bao Lotus Lantern" with you.
||Analysis of costume and props and props design
The biggest highlight of the costume and props and props and props of "Bao Lian Lantern" is that the style of each set of styles is designed completely based on the temperament characteristics of the character's character. From color matching materials to accessories and makeup, each person has different highlights.
What is even more amazing is that its styling design has a sense of balance that "inherits the past and the present".
Elements of traditional Chinese clothing can be seen almost everywhere in the design of clothing, such as stand-up collars in Ming style and Tang style big jackets. However, the shape is not limited to this classical temperament. Some of the designs are innovative and bold, giving the audience a full imagination space.
||Focus on designing fairy-like ancient costume styles
·Based on Chinese color matching, clear and agile
Currently, ancient costume styles, especially in the costume color matching design of fairy-xia dramas, the symbolic sense of color is too strong, but the skills of use are very dull.
For example, the gods are all white and the gauze skirt is hazy, while the black characters are either paired with black or red.
Although black and white are also the basic colors in Chinese classical color schemes, their beauty is more to highlight the meaning of ink and wash style, rather than to separate the character types.
If you want to design a costume with rich pictures and distinct layers (Xianxia style), you need to comprehensively and refine the Chinese classical color scheme.
Among the traditional five classical colors, red, blue, yellow, white and black are the basic . The red color is bright and ostentatious, not only highly adapted to the auspicious clothes color, but also greatly improves the brightness of your skin tone.
and cyan is a standard cold color. This color is very tolerant to skin tone and can also add a bit of cool temperament.
After mastering the combination of the two basic color combinations of cold and warm, we can incorporate richer colors into the shape to enhance the layering of the shape.
||How to design a lively and classical fairy style
·The traditional clothing elements are incorporated into the styling design
The costume design of fairy tale dramas should integrate the two ideas of classical and innovative. If you blindly pursue retro, the shape will be closer to the traditional drama, and excessive innovation will not stop the car, which will give people an inappropriate effect.
We can match with some traditional clothing styles with distinctive traditional elements, but incorporate creative into the design of some details. For example, this style is based on the traditional deep clothing style, and the design of cross-collar is full of ancient charm.
However, the accessories design can be imaginative, adding decorations that can reflect the character's personality and identity.
·Paired with Chinese classical makeup
makeup is also very important, and traditional Chinese makeup pursues hazy beauty. Therefore, when we match makeup, we must also follow this idea and cannot bring modern makeup into it.
Many popular fairy tale dramas are either drawing Korean pseudo-free , or drawing Japanese-style fresh , which will give people a sense of incongruity in facial style.
When we match the base makeup, we need to keep it clean and matte, not to put too much base color, and the watery feeling of cheeks must be somewhat restrained.
In addition, needs to control the color matching style of facial makeup . Traditional classical makeup is the most recognizable with rich red makeup and simple white makeup .
When we put on red makeup, we need to strengthen the contrast between lip color and hair color, so we should choose more regular colors such as vermilion. When paired with simple white makeup, the contrast of facial colors should be lowered, and the primary purpose is to outline natural facial bones.
Although the fairy tale drama market is booming now, it is difficult to have classic styles. Instead, the styles in many ancient TV dramas have frequently become popular. In fact, large productions cannot represent the quality of a TV series, and the so-called fairy tale costume design is not just the same "white body".
Why not look at these classic fairy-like shapes, learn the aesthetic ideas, and constantly innovate the past and create new things.
