My Cartoonist Guide

The eyes of other people fell on Shen Xin's face.

He grinned, "Sorry, I haven't figured it out yet."

This is a fact. So far, he is only sure that he wants to draw kingly cartoons, but he doesn't know what to draw.

Speaking of Kingly Manga, Shen Xin first thought of "Dragon Ball" and "One Piece", but neither of these two were inappropriate.

Needless to say, "Dragon Ball" is the top benevolent comic in the history of comics in the 11 districts, especially the storyboard, which can be called "textbook" level, but this comic impressed Shen Xin too deeply. If you don't imitate Toriyama Akira He himself could not accept his style of painting, but if he imitated, he would have to change his style, which was not what he hoped.

"One Piece" is also the top kingly comic in District 11, but it is clearly different from "Dragon Ball".

"Dragon Ball" has been concluded, but "One Piece" is not over yet, there are many possibilities in the future. However, it was precisely because "One Piece" was not over yet that Shen Xin gave up on it.

Oda painted for 20 years, and only painted half of the content of "One Piece". What is the plot of the remaining half? I am afraid that apart from Oda and his editor, others are not too clear.

Thinking of this, Shen Xin felt a big head.

As for other comics, you can consider it at first glance, so Shen Xin doesn't know what to choose.

"Hey, Teacher Shen, it's time to make sure, no matter how uncertain, it's the New Year." Wang Wenhong said quickly.

"It's just New Year..." Yan Fei reminded.

"What happened just after the New Year? The new comics need to design the background and outline, but also check a lot of information, draw the name. After the serialization meeting is passed, the manuscript will be drawn. If Mr. Shen drags it for a few months, won't it be the New Year? Wang Wenhong reminded.

After Wang Wenhong reminded, Yan Fei also noticed the urgency of time and asked Shen Xin unsurely, "Should you take a one-year break?"

"Uh...it depends."

How can such a thing be certain?

Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong glanced at each other, then looked at Shen Xin, and said in unison: "Today must be confirmed."

Shen Xin looked at the others. Except for Xi Muhan's pitying glance at him, the expressions of the others were almost the same-you should work.

Shen Xin sighed helplessly, seemingly... lazy cancer committed.

People are like this sometimes, and the first step is often the hardest.

It's like sleeping late. People are clearly awake, and they still want to curl up in the bed, even if they can be lazy for an hour or two. If they get up from the bed forcibly by their will, they will find that there is nothing wrong with leaving the bed--but I just don't want to get up.

It's the same with creation. If you don't want to do it all the time, it will continue to drag over time.

The same is true for web authors. For example, if they stop updating due to academic or Cavan and other reasons, then issue a statement, and then come back to continue after a while, the author is likely to be gone.

They may really have their own business, or they may have a lazy cancer attack. After they stop updating, they can't pick it up again.

Shen Xin didn't want to be such a person, so he took a deep breath and said to Wang Wenhong: "Then, after eating, we must first determine our thinking."

Wang Wenhong was taken aback, then nodded again and again. Shen Xin's words were exactly what he expected.

After dinner, Xi Muhan, Ji Yinxuan and others went to the cinema together, while Shen Xin, Wang Wenhong, and Yan Fei came to the cafe, each ordered a cup of coffee, and then sat down around the round table in a triangle shape.

"Let me talk about it first, I want to draw adventure comics. After all, no matter how brilliant the niche comics are, I still want this type of comics to prove myself." Shen Xin looked at Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong.

"I know." Wang Wenhong nodded, "Many of the kingly cartoons that are popular in China are imitating the 11th district, that is, the blood is supreme. The most popular magazine "The Legend of the Dragon King" is this kind of comics. Although the protagonist of "Hunting Abyss" Relying more on one’s own efforts, keep forging ahead, but it also has the effect of blood. Isn’t there that sentence? "The protagonist of Wangdao comics needs to have 90% sweat and 10% blood, but it is exactly 10 that determines the direction of the comics. % Blood'."

"That's true."

This is considered to be the standard mode of most Japanese comics, such as Naruto, Ichito, Inuyasha and other familiar characters, but this is not absolute. Like Seiya, there is no overly strong blood, but it is still the protagonist of the kingly manga.

Bloodline comics are indeed very burning. After all, if the protagonist can't beat his opponent, he can rely on the bloodline to reverse the situation.

"There are also martial arts, but those comics are not suitable for "icfuture"."

Hearing Wang Wenhong's explanation, Shen Xin probably also has an understanding of the current China comics. The benevolent comics with "blood" as the golden finger are still the mainstream.

This is how the creation is. Sometimes editors are under business pressure and often ask cartoonists to imitate the works of the fire, commonly known as "follow the trend." This approach will make magazines and cartoonists a lot less risky, but at the same time it will also bring about a problem-the works will converge.

In the case of online novels, if a certain genre of fantasy novels is sought after by readers, such as "system flow", other authors will follow suit. Similarly, the light novels in District 11 also tend to be the Harem and Long Aotian.

When a work created with painstaking effort cannot be recognized by the market, the author will naturally imitate in order to gain the greatest benefit. This trend does not matter whether it is right or wrong. People tend to pros and cons. Once they encounter setbacks, they will reduce the risk of failure.

But for the entire market, there are too many works with similar styles, which is not necessarily a good thing. The prosperity of the market fades, and those authors who can only imitate will be eliminated by the market.

There are two paths before Shen Xin, whether to use blood and passion as a selling point like traditional comics, or to find another way.

Shen Xin fell into long thoughts, and the coffee cup was on his lips~www.NovelMTL.com~ but he did not drink it for a long time.

"Or, you can consider the subject matter." Yan Fei, who had not spoken, suddenly said.

theme?

Shen Xin put down the cup and looked at Yan Fei puzzledly.

"Wang Wenhong just considered from the protagonist's perspective. Even if the protagonist is determined to have a certain bloodline, the subject matter is outdated and still cannot attract readers. On the contrary, as long as the subject matter is novel enough, regardless of the bloodline, it can still win the love of a large number of readers. So, if If you are not sure, you can consider the subject matter. What do you want to bring to your readers, and who do you want your readers to be."

Yan Fei's words gave Shen Xin another idea.

"Yan Fei, your thinking is too complicated? Since it is serialized on "icfuture", it must be a domestic comic." Wang Wenhong said impatiently.

"I think about it this way. Teacher Shen has already won a lot of domestic comic awards. If that's the case, why don't you prove yourself in the overseas market?" Yan Fei looked at Shen Xin.
