My Cartoonist Guide
Chapter 142: The effect of the game
As Shen Xin's assistants, Lu Ning and Gao Hang are very familiar with Shen Xin's style of painting.
When they saw the manga at the first glance, their expressions tightened.
Seven Grapefruit and Zanxiang's imitation of "Y's" has reached a very high level. At first glance, the two of them even thought it was Shen Xin's original manuscript.
But after a closer look, it is not difficult to notice the difference between the two. For example, the lines of a comic.
Actually, the lines of the comics are quite particular.
For example, when a character’s cheeks or a certain part of the body protrude outward, the lines are often thicker, and when the lines are retracted, the lines are thinner.
If you want to achieve this effect, or if you want to show different thicknesses on a curve, it is best to use a G pen, because the nib of the G pen is very flexible. You can control the expression of the line by controlling the strength.
As for the doujin in front of me, the strength of the role has changed very little, because the main pen is not a G pen.
Of course, no one is sure. You must use a G pen to draw cartoons. Some cartoonists even choose a neutral pen or a signature pen to draw the original, which often has good results.
But compared with the G pen, other pens cannot express the emotions of the character through the change of the line. Especially when compared with the original painting of "Y's", this sense of difference is more obvious.
After a brief surprise, Lu Ning and Gao Hang were also quite sober. They continued to look down and read the two comrades in one go.
"How do you feel?" Yan Fei smiled.
"The two comics in this issue are not difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior. The storytelling and the artistry are quite different." Lu Ning guessed.
"You support the first article, right? But I think the entry angle of the second article is also good." Gao Hang put forward the opposite opinion.
"I know that its cutting angle is really eye-catching, but its lens is a bit messy, I think it looks a bit dizzy." Lu Ning shook his head, "Sister Yan, what do you think?"
"Mr. Shen is sitting here, are you still asking me?" Yan Fei shook her head slightly, "Let Ms. Shen judge and see if you have a chance?"
Gao Hang nodded quickly, and could not wait to come to Shen Xin's side, "Mr. Shen..."
Shen Xin also heard the discussion of the three people. Knowing that Gao Hang had run over, he raised his head and looked at Gao Hang in front of him, "Are you confident?"
"Of course I have confidence in the background, but other aspects are hard to say..." At the end of the speech, Gao Hang's voice faded, and he glanced at Lu Ning from the corner of his eye, only to see Lu Ning coming behind him, and he closed quickly. Mouth.
Shen Xin watched the fat man hesitated and stopped, secretly amused. While raising himself, this kid didn't forget to tease Lu Ning.
But Gao Hang is right. He has been drawing the background of "Y's", so he should be able to ensure a stable level, but Lu Ning is different. Previously, she said that her style of painting was narrow, after such a long period of time. Study, I don’t know if it has improved.
As for the two comics in front of me, they are all pretty good. The so-called "big hand" is not a vain name.
Especially, the first doujin drawn by two big hands signed "Zanxiang" and "Seven Grapefruits" is of high quality. Not only the characters are very similar to the original, but the background and effect lines are also very delicate. The quality alone is not inferior to other comics in "NewWorld".
The starting point of the story is also better. I chose Yi Gui to confess at the dock, but Iori thinks he is telling a ghost story and rejects Yi Gui's segment.
On the way back, Yi Gui met another girl with feet, and returned to the hotel with the **** his back, and was ran into by Iori again. The two people had a new misunderstanding.
And the girl with a bad foot actually came out at the end of "Y's"-I mistakenly thought that Yigui, who was rejected by Iori, abandoned herself, and then went swimming with the girl in the sea, accidentally taking off the other's swimsuit.
Two big hands chose this girl, and set off with the subsequent chapters, which is very in line with the theme of "Y's".
As for the second doujin, the penetration is slightly strange. The author chose the content from the beginning of "Y's", which is the story of Iori being notified to take a promotional photo, but the organizer installed a camera in the fitting room. The author uses the camera as the first point of view to describe the whole process, and therefore, the picture will appear more "tempting".
The shortcomings of this work are obvious. It uses a large number of vertical strips to cut the overall sense of the picture, so the comics look messy and disorderly.
"The entry point of the second article is very good, the creative mind is also very flexible, but the storyboard is a bit messy? The style of the first work is more similar to "Y's". It can be seen that these two people really want to paint this fan... By the way, the outcome is determined by readers' votes?" Shen Xin asked.
"That's right. In the next issue of the reader questionnaire, there will be an option related to the same person. The result of the game will be judged based on the questionnaire," Yan Fei said.
Shen Xin nodded slightly, "That won't be easy to say."
Gao Hang was taken aback, and said in a puzzled way: "Teacher, can't even you judge it?"
"The magazine gave the results to the market. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is not good for me to judge the results. Some works will become popular inexplicably, but more works rely on the quality of comics. You can start from the first round. , To judge the direction of the market and make slight adjustments.” Shen Xin closed the magazine and glanced back at Yan Fei. “The president is probably very happy, right?”
Questionnaire survey is the only voting method. People who want to vote must purchase "NewWorld", which makes big fans have to spend part of their money on magazines.
"Yes, this is a good thing for you and for the magazine." Yan Fei smiled.
Since they bought the magazine, they will also read the latest "Y's", perhaps they can cultivate the habit of reading "Y's".
Shen Xin feels that Wang Wenhong’s original proposal has become more valuable.
But he also understands that unless there are special circumstances, there is almost no possibility of cooperation between him and Wang Wenhong—he must at least find an editor job.
Lu Ning took the magazine and flipped through the two doujin again. His brows gradually frowned, and he should work harder.
After this issue of "NewWorld" was officially released, it immediately sparked discussion among readers, and the magazine's sales soared again, breaking through to 950,000 copies.
The sales of "Y's" have increased slightly, and the popularity has also been fired. More than a dozen long reviews related to "Y's" have appeared on Manjia.com. There are more cartoonists than other newcomers. This surprised them.
But Shen Xin knows that half of these long reviews are about "Y's" doujin, but because the plot of these doujin extends to "Y's", it is difficult for many people to read the book reviews alone, but it deepens some readers. Understanding of "Y's".
This is the effect Song Tai wanted to achieve.
