My Cartoonist Guide

"How do you say? The stress time of cartoonists may be longer than that of illustrators, but if you can pass the story in your heart to readers, this satisfaction and joy should be longer?" Shen Xin laughed.

Illustration has the advantage of illustration, and comics have the characteristics of comics. Shen Xin also admits this. Moreover, there is a saying that illustrators are indeed more relaxed than cartoonists.

This ease comes not only from the workload, but also from the duration of a comic, which is longer than that of an illustrator. The comic artist must always maintain a state of tension, even if stepping on the deadline line and handing in the original manuscript. Seconds have to discuss the name of the next sentence with the editor.

Repeatedly, it is not a moment of leisure.

If there is any motivation for cartoonists to do this, it is probably the cartoonists' love of comics?

Even if you don’t sleep for a few consecutive nights, you have to complete the manuscript and change to other tasks. The cartoonist should not have so much perseverance.

Several people chatted for a while, Yan Fei got up and checked the manga manuscript completed by his assistant, and Shen Xin also glanced at his studio.

Unconsciously, the time for a few people to chat is not short.

Lu Yingxue also saw Shen Xin's thoughts, and coughed slightly, "Teacher, in fact, I have two questions. I want to ask the teacher's opinion."

"Ok?"

"That's it. I have a friend who is serializing on other websites, but she wants the next comic to contribute to "ComicFuture", but she is afraid that she will not be able to adapt to "ComicFuture". So, I want me to ask the teacher, if she writes to "ComicFuture" What should I pay attention to when submitting a manuscript?"

"What do I need to pay attention to?" Shen Xin didn't expect Lu Yingxue to ask, "Is it a male cartoonist or a female cartoonist?"

When Lu Yingxue raised this question, he could also understand that if he had to change stations before crossing, he would have such consideration.

"Male cartoonists and female cartoonists have different creative directions." After thinking about it, Shen Xin added.

"Female cartoonist." Lu Yingxue said.

"How is the relationship between that person and you?" Wang Wenhong was quite interested.

"Alright... okay?" Lu Yingxue was a little embarrassed.

Wang Wenhong smiled without saying a word.

Shen Xin didn't want to embarrass Lu Yingxue any more, and took the initiative to take the topic.

"Male cartoonists emphasize the explosive power of rhythm. To ";DUNK", when the plot is in climax, it will make readers feel very burning, even blood boiling. Female cartoonists are slightly weaker in this respect, but the advantage is delicate feelings. So, if you want to serialize in "ComicFuture", you need to grasp this. If you plan to draw a kingly comic, you must also pay attention to the expression of emotion."

There are also some female cartoonists who draw kingly manga, such as "Inuyasha", "Tutor", and even "Gang Lian", as well as "Hire of Go" by Yumi Horita as the original work. When these stories are explosive, there will be a kind of explosive power. An endless feeling.

Compared with "Dragon Ball", "Saint Seiya", "Jojo", "Fist of the North Star", these comics, I always feel a bit "taste".

But the cartoons drawn by female cartoonists have very delicate emotions. The feelings of Inuyasha and Kagome and Kikyo, the brotherhood between Alphonse and Edward, and the feeling of being a teacher and a friend of Hikaru and Sawei are all very delicate. This is hard to see in the writing of male cartoonists.

Including "Ghost Slaying Blade", it is rumored that the author is also a female cartoonist, but it has not been confirmed, but Shen Xin is more inclined to be a female cartoonist, because the characteristics of this comic are more like the hand of a female cartoonist. .

The fight in this comic is not difficult to see in the boy manga, but the emotion expressed in the manga far exceeds that of other taizhu comics.

If you read carefully, the family bond in this comic is obvious. The Tanjiro brothers and sisters, the Unseikawa brothers, the Butterfly Ninja sisters, the Kyo Shouro brothers, the Wuichiro brothers, and even the villains, there are also siblings, prostitutes. Husbands and sisters (although they are not brothers and sisters). Also yearn for family affection.

It is the fetters of these family relationships that make the characters in the entire comic look like a living person rather than a villain on paper.

The operation of "Blade of Pillar Destruction" brings a sense of sorrow to this comic, which complements the delicate emotions of the original work.

These characteristics are not possessed by the works of most male cartoonists.

If a female cartoonist wants to switch to a magazine like "ComicFuture" which is mainly aimed at juvenile readers, while having the characteristics of juvenile comics, feelings, including family affection, must be properly expressed.

Lu Yingxue nodded, "I see."

He didn't draw cartoons for a long time, and when he heard Shen Xin's explanation, he suddenly realized.

"Brother, why haven't you told me this?" Xi Muhan looked puzzled.

"Do you still use me to tell?" Shen Xin couldn't laugh or cry, and glanced at Yan Fei who was checking the drawing. "Sister Yan is one of the top editors in China. She must know this, but she just didn't tell you. Besides, it turns out, " The results of "Ding Shi" also showed that her judgment was correct."

Xi Muhan nodded slightly. Hearing Shen Xin's explanation, he understood.

"By the way, what kind of comics does your friend want to create?" Wang Wenhong asked casually.

"Uh, it's Xian Xia."

"What? Xian Xia?" Wang Wenhong said silently.

"Yes, is there any problem?" Lu Yingxue asked in confusion.

"There is no problem. It's just that the subject matter of Xianxia is relatively small, and there is already a serialized in "ComicFuture"." Wang Wenhong replied.

Comics of the same genre can easily influence each other.

"Really?" Shen Xin interrupted.

"Mr. Shen, don't be so surprised? It's an amateur. The fairy manga has been serialized for more than a month." Wang Wenhong couldn't laugh or cry.

"I really don't know." Shen Xin shook his head, "What's your name?"

"Xianyuan. It is the author of Xiaoli."

"How?"

"Complete newcomer, I heard from Wu Xiaoli that he seemed to have served as teacher Wang Yunze's assistant, but the painter was not very good. It is said that he was a cartoonist who was a renunciation, originally studied history at university and changed career after graduation.

"This is fine too!?" Lu Yingxue said silently.

"So ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ a cartoonist is different from an illustrator, as long as he can express the story clearly, besides, he is just not good at drawing, and it is not bad."

In District 11, there are cartoonists who have switched careers to comics. Therefore, it is normal for cartoonists to switch careers.

Moreover, cartoonists who change careers have different perspectives from ordinary cartoonists, and drawing cartoons may have their own characteristics.

"How's your grade?"

"It is said that it is not very good. After all, the genre is relatively small. If it is serialized in "Feiyue", there may be a market, right?"

"It turned out to be so."

Lu Yingxue took this matter to heart, but then said: "Teacher, there is one more thing, I want to ask you."

"Please speak."

"What do you think of the studio?" Lu Yingxue said seriously.
