.., My Cartoonist Guide

"Brother Xin, it's time to rest." Xi Muhan carried a cup of milk tea and boarded the second floor.

In the huge room, there were only two people left at the moment, which was indeed a little cold.

Shen Xin put down the pen and took the coffee from Xi Muhan with a smile.

"Fortunately, you are still there. Otherwise, the whole house will appear empty."

"Unfortunately, I will start school in two days. If it's a senior year, it would be fine, and I will have more free time." Xi Muhan puffed, a little annoyed.

"Don't think about it, get your graduation certificate first? Don't be like me, you may not be able to graduate for the rest of your life." Shen Xin laughed at himself.

"What's wrong with not getting the graduation certificate?" Xi Muhan widened his eyes, dissatisfied, "Many graduates will never reach your current height in a lifetime."

"That's what you said." Shen Xin felt helpless.

Xi Muhan did not answer Shen Xin, his eyes fell on the paper in front of Shen Xin.

On the paper is a line draft drawn in pencil, and on the draft is a square gate. With the door slit as the axis of symmetry, it is a pattern somewhat similar to that of a big tree.

When Xi Muhan saw this painting, he was surprised, "Is it the gate of truth?"

"Yeah." Shen Xin nodded.

It is said that if a mortal wants to become a saint, he must pass through the "gate of truth". Therefore, it is also called the "gate of saints". On the door, the "tree of life" is painted.

The "Tree of Life" is composed of 10 circles and 22 paths. According to legend, in these 10 circles, there are archangels who guard people.

More than one comic, "Tree of Life" has appeared, such as "eva", "Magic and Forbidden Book Catalog" and "Fullmetal Alchemist".

"Will the next comic use the'Gate of Truth'?" Xi Muhan asked rhetorically.

"Well, I think so." Shen Xin finished drinking the milk tea and put the cup on the saucer.

"But, would it be too esoteric if you use the'Gate of Truth'?" Xi Muhan was a little worried.

Would anyone be interested in introducing "occultology" into comics?

"Then it depends on how you interpret the'Gate of Truth'." Shen Xin tapped his finger on the drawing board twice, "Since it is a door, there are outside and inside the door. Outside the door is an ordinary mortal, and according to everyone's right" The cognition of the “door of truth” is the necessary door for mortals to become saints. Isn’t anyone curious, is there anything behind the door?”

"Huh?" Xi Muhan's eyes were bright and he looked at Shen Xin in surprise, "What's behind the door? Brother Xin, why do you think so?"

"Because there is a'door'. Look at it, this cartoon will definitely be very exciting." Shen Xin's gaze fell on the'door of truth', and a smile appeared on his face.

"It's been a long time since I saw you smiling so happily." Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin and narrowed his eyes.

"Because... I am looking forward to the appearance of this comic." Shen Xin stretched out and glanced at the desk, which was full of books.

In fact, before deciding to create "Steel Refining", he never thought that one day he would have so many books, but in fact, if a cartoonist wants to draw a comic, he must check a lot of information and then put the useful content , Through the way of comics, conveyed to readers.

Aunt Niu also referred to a lot of materials when drawing "Steel Refining".

Needless to say, "The Gate of Truth", the sage's stone is the philosopher's stone in alchemy.

Aunt Niu introduced the magic circle to alchemy and created a refining circle. Even the protagonist Edward’s father, von Hohenheim, has a prototype, that is, the 16th century alchemist, Teoflast von Hohenheim. Hornheim.

As for concepts such as "equivalent exchange" and "human body refining", they are even more well-known in the heart of the fan.

All of this must be supported by knowledge.

As the saying goes, the more you understand an industry, the more you know how small you are.

Cartoonists don't just pick up a pen and simply sketch, they also have to learn and refer to many books in order to create works that satisfy readers.

Seeing the expectation and enthusiasm in Shen Xin's eyes, Xi Muhan was also very happy.

"By the way, brother, did you buy a computer?"

"Well, I bought five and waited for the store to send it. They said that the monitor will be calibrated in advance and can be used directly after sending it." Shen Xin said, "However, the pen display may be later."

Shen Xin doesn't want to use a digital screen, because the pictures drawn on a computer are just data, not real graphics, and are of little value in themselves.

The manuscript paper is different. In addition to the more real contact between the pen tip and the paper, the manuscript also has preservation value. More importantly, each manuscript is unique in this world.

The author of "Jojo" Hirohiko Araki has held painting exhibitions more than once, and the manuscripts are on display. If it is a manuscript drawn on a digital screen, there is definitely no way to hold an exhibition.

However, with the development of technology, manuscripts will eventually be replaced by electronic manuscripts, which is also the future trend.

On Earth, Shen Xin also heard that one created "One Punch Man" in order to practice cicstud. It seems that he has to go through this process.

However, the reason why Shen Xin chose the digital screen was not for technology or trend, but for efficiency. He had to increase the weekly "production" in order to draw the original "Alchemist".

Xi Muhan took the cup downstairs, and just after it was cleaned, he heard the doorbell ring.

When I came to the door, through the eyes of the cat, I found that it was a staff member of a computer shop. The floor was filled with cardboard boxes containing computers and monitors.

Xi Muhan opened the door and let the staff in. Four of them were installed downstairs and one was installed on the second floor.

After installing the computer, the staff will leave the phone, if you encounter any problems, you can contact them.

After leaving the staff, Xi Muhan went up to the second floor again.

"Brother Xin, how is it?"

"I don't know, you have to buy the software first... I'll look for... cicstud (cs), it's you."

The name of the software has not changed. Shen Xin was a little surprised, but it is not incomprehensible.

There are only so many words related to comics ~lightnovelpub.net~, and it is the software developed in District 11, and there is a high probability that it has the same name.

There is a high rate of Chinese version in this world, but it is not that there is no D version, just want to download it, it takes a lot of effort.

If you are in a tight hand, you can understand using version d, but for Shen Xin, there is no need to do so.

After installing the software, the sky dimmed, Xi Muhan put on an apron, turned and asked Xiang Shen Xin, "Brother Xin, what do you want to eat?"

"Ah? Anyone...people who can't cook are not qualified to be picky eaters." Shen Xin looked helpless.

"I remember there is still a fish in the refrigerator, so let's stew the fish soup today?" Xi Muhan thought for a while, then asked Xiang Shen Xin, "After I go to school, this fish is probably going to go bad again."

"..."

In other words, I can’t cook?

Shen Xin's heart became more and more depressed.
