My Cartoonist Guide

　　 Shen Xin rubbed his chin, wondering how Shang Haozhi's attitude changed.

Anyway, he just drew casually, and he did not grasp the essence of Obata's style. Shen Xin didn't care much about the sketches in the album.

However, Shang Haozhi read it with gusto. After reading the six or seven pages of the sketch, Shang Haozhi reluctantly closed the album.

"Mr. Shen, I want this work."

"Ah? This is a sketch." Shen Xin reminded.

"When are you going to draw the name?" Shang Haozhi asked.

"Not ready to paint." Shen Xin shook his head.

He doesn't know how to go. Although there is a "Soul of Go" that can be drawn, after the drawing is completed, others will ask him about his knowledge of Go.

Resolutely do not do this kind of "self-explosive" thing.

"Why?" Shang Haozhi asked in surprise, "Aren't you ready to paint?"

Shen Xin rolled his eyes dejectedly. Which ear of your ears heard me preparing to paint? I am learning the style of "The Soul of the Game".

"Um... I don't understand Go, I don't understand at all." Shen Xin explained.

"I think your drawing of the chess posture is quite accurate." Shang Haozhi said in surprise.

"Soul of the Game" is also supervised by professional chess players, can it be inaccurate?

"Ahem... I read the picture from the Internet." Shen Xin was a little depressed, and he could be cared about by just drawing two paintings. "By the way, Mr. Shang, why are you suddenly interested in this aspect?"

Shang Haozhi drew out a cigarette, just about to light it, but was pulled by Wang Wenhong's clothes, he coughed dryly, and put it away.

"There are two reasons. On the one hand, the domestic Go atmosphere is low. You must know that Go originated in China and has a long history. However, in recent years, it has rarely been achieved internationally. Many people are disappointed in Go. If this is the time. There is a cartoon related to Go, which may arouse everyone's interest in "Go"."

"Right now, the best player in Go is from Han country?" Shen Xin asked in surprise.

"Yes. That's why I'm even more angry." Shang Haozhi crossed his fingers, his face sullen.

It seems that Shang Haozhi is also a Go enthusiast, at least more concerned about the game of Go.

"In addition, there is another aspect, pressure from the market." Shang Haozhi sighed.

"Huh? What does this have to do with the market?" Shen Xin became more puzzled.

"There are different types of comics, including passion, suspense, love, daily life, sports... Domestic comics are relatively good in other aspects, but there are not too many sports comics." Shang Haozhi said in a low voice, "If it is a regular sports, Like football and basketball, many cartoonists are unable to achieve their drawing skills."

Shen Xin nodded slightly, which was correct.

Because this type of comics is closer to reality, the author is required to have strong drawing skills, not only in terms of characters, scenes and other aspects, but also in action.

There are also some people who think that any manga has actions. This is true, but other comics emphasize the action itself, but the requirements for body muscles are not as high as those of sports.

Any action performed by a person is not only the skeleton moving, but also the changes in the muscles. Other cartoons will not emphasize these because of the cover of clothes, but the sports cartoons will show parts of the body, such as limbs, and are consistent. The action will involve the change of muscles, and then the cartoonist's drawing skills will be tested.

Before the crossing, the quality of the sports comics in District 11 was also uneven, but "Slam Dunk" is undoubtedly the top batch of comics. The reason is not only because of the ups and downs of the plot, but also because of Inoue's superb painting skills.

Every game can make readers feel excited and immersive. One of the reasons is that the realism shown in the pictures greatly enhances the expressive power of the pictures, especially the muscle collisions caused by physical contact by athletes. It was portrayed realistically by Inoue Takehiko with a brush.

Cartoonists of other sports comics rarely draw this kind of effect.

"However, even if this is the case, the magazine should also find a cartoonist to draw it?" Shen Xin wondered, "If it is really as you said, the market gap is as big as that."

"Because of this, we were hit by the 11th district comics. Since the 11th district sports comics did not start serializing in the country, many publishing houses are introducing pamphlets. Of course, the introduction of "mangafly" will not be ruled out. Like fantasy Comics, we have "Legend of the Dragon King" and "Fu Yaozhi", which can be sold abroad. If "ys" is published in "icfuture", there will be a chance to sell to the 11th district, but sports comics are always vacant.

"In other sports, it is difficult to get started and understand. Therefore, the quality of the story will determine the performance of this type of comics. Therefore, domestic cartoonists rarely choose this type of comics. 11 There are many districts, such as mountain bikes, racing cars, chess and cards... Baseball is a special case. After all, it is very popular in District 11, but not many people pay attention to it in China. Therefore, it can't compete with painters in District 11.

"I know that besides "icfuture", you can also choose other comic magazines, but if you go to "mangafly", you have to compete with players from District 11 and even Han nationality, and "Semi-Monthly Feiyue" is inconsistent with your style. They need Color manuscripts. As for the magazines of "Man Weekly", although the sales are not bad, the influence is really not as good as that of the three major magazines. This can be seen from the animation of "ys". If "ys" is in " "icfuture" published, the animation copyright is absolutely 3 million starting."

"Is that high?" Shen Xin asked in surprise.

"There are overseas markets. It's not that I boast. Of all domestic comic magazines, "icfuture" has the strongest ability to export comics abroad, and "mangafly" has the strongest ability to introduce foreign comics. UU reading www.uukanshu.com So, please You must consider it carefully." Shang Haozhi said seriously.

Shen Xin leaned on the sofa and fell into long thought.

To be honest, after the contract expires, "icfuture" is very sincere. After all, the editor-in-chief deliberately ran from Hongchuan to Yunhai. Not every cartoonist has this kind of treatment.

"But I really don't understand Go." Shen Xin frowned. He didn't even know the rows and columns of Go, how to draw Go cartoons.

"Huh?" Shang Haozhi opened his mouth slightly, and said so much for nothing just now?

Suddenly, he felt a slight dryness in his throat, so he picked up Wang Wenhong's unopened bottle of Coke and took a few sips.

"That's really a pity..." Wang Wenhong looked at the sketch on the drawing book, "I really think your style of painting is quite suitable for Go."

"But I always feel that something is missing in the painting." Shen Xin shook his head.

"There are indeed some. The momentum in the painting is more shown by the effect line." Wang Wenhong agrees with Shen Xin's words, "but a comic is so long, you can't always rely on the effect line. In this case, the picture will be very monotonous. ."

Shen Xin nodded, agreeing with Wang Wenhong's statement.

"Less things?" Shang Haozhi quickly took the sketch, turned it over again, snapped his fingers, "I see."

"What's the reason?" Shen Xin asked quickly.

"Qi!" Shang Haozhi said categorically, "You lack Qi in your paintings!"
