极简画风 - Clean black line art, limited spot color, simplified stick-figure characters
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Minimalist cartoon illustration characterized by clean black line art on white background with very limited spot color for emphasis. Characters are simplified to near-stick-figure abstraction, focusing on gesture and concept rather than anatomical detail. Designed for business allegory, quick-read educational content, and concept illustration.
|
|
|
|
## Line Work
|
|
|
|
- Clean, uniform black lines (1.5-2px)
|
|
- No hatching, cross-hatching, or shading techniques
|
|
- Minimal detail — every line serves a purpose
|
|
- Bold outlines for characters, thinner lines for props/labels
|
|
- No decorative flourishes or ornamental lines
|
|
|
|
## Character Design
|
|
|
|
- Highly simplified, stick-figure-like business characters
|
|
- Circle or oval heads with minimal facial features (dot eyes, simple line mouth)
|
|
- Body as simple geometric shapes or line constructions
|
|
- Distinguishing features through props only (tie, hat, briefcase, glasses)
|
|
- No anatomical detail — expressive through posture and gesture
|
|
- 4-5 head height proportions (squat, iconic)
|
|
|
|
## Background Treatment
|
|
|
|
- Mostly blank/white — negative space is a design element
|
|
- Minimal environmental cues (a line for ground, simple desk outline)
|
|
- Concept labels and text annotations replace detailed environments
|
|
- Icons and symbols over realistic rendering
|
|
- No perspective or spatial depth
|
|
|
|
## Color Approach
|
|
|
|
- Primarily black and white (90%+ of the image)
|
|
- 1-2 spot accent colors for emphasis on key concepts
|
|
- Accent color used sparingly: highlighting key objects, text labels, concept indicators
|
|
- No gradients, no shading, no color fills on backgrounds
|
|
- Color draws the eye to the most important element in each panel
|
