There were three visitors to Locke's house, and they were Su Junxin and her parents.

Little Lori hurriedly sat down next to Locke, put the manuscript paper in her hand on the coffee table, unfolded it and said: "Big brother, this is the character design of Liuxing and September that I painted, what do you think? And this, this is March, this is April, this is October, this is the broken army, this is the greedy wolf, uh, and this, this is ......"

After listening to the introduction of the little Lori, Locke suddenly realized - this little Lori is so diligent, and the speed of drawing comics is so fast! It's only been less than a month, and he actually drew all kinds of characters along with the first ten drafts?

Picking up the manuscript paper on the coffee table, Locke looked at it carefully.

And little Lori looked at Locke with a look of hope on the side.

After looking at it for a while, Locke frowned slightly.

To be honest, there is no doubt about Lori's painting skills, quite good, and the character design is also good, in line with the public's taste.

But here's the problem - a departure from Locke's heart of stealing stars......

Of course, as long as Locke doesn't draw a character for her, then little Lori will definitely not be able to draw the future Ryuxing.

If she really drew exactly the same, then Locke had to wonder if this little Lori would have traveled from the future.

That's — just thinking about it makes Locke hard to accept.

Of course, some passers-by A, passerby B, or characters who play soy sauce, Locke went to draw with Lori.

For him, as long as some important characters are not changed.

Seeing Locke frowning, Su's father, Su's mother, and Su Chenxi couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts.

They clearly know how much Lori loves comics, and she spends almost all of her free time on comics.

Helplessly, Lori's ability to make up stories is too poor.,Although the drawing skills are very good.,But it's still been rejected.。

Of course, during the period, there were also many cartoonists who took a fancy to Xiao Lori's painting skills and wanted to invite her to be an assistant, but first, Xiao Lori usually had to go to class, and the time was definitely not enough, and second, Xiao Lori was too simple, Su's father and Su mother were not at ease, and third, the Su family did not lack such money as an assistant.

So, little Lori has been drawing comics at home by herself.

Of course, Su's father and Su's mother also found a few teachers to tutor her.

However, although Lori's drawing skills are getting better and better, her ability to make up stories is limited.

After all, it's too much of a talent to do that.

Although you can also buy scripts, it is not easy to find.

Many good script sources have long been monopolized.

Of course, if Father Su uses the power in his hands, he will naturally be caught. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a matter of words.

But this is obviously not the way that little Lori agrees.

Therefore, Su's father has never done this.

This time little Lori met Locke, which can be said to be a major turning point.

This "Stealing Stars in September" is likely to be an important turning point for Lori as a cartoonist.

Therefore, the two of them at this moment are even more nervous than little Lori.

"Big brother, am I not good at drawing?" asked little Lori cautiously, her expression a little gloomy.

Locke came back to his senses, touched little Lori's head with a smile, and said, "Little sister is very good at drawing!"

"Big brother, you are lying, I can see you frowning. Also, big brother, you call me Xin'er, it feels a little distant to call my little sister......" Little Lori muttered and said.

"Good. Locke responded, "Xin'er, I've seen your character design, the painting skills are very good, and the character design is also great, this big brother is not deceiving." ”

Hearing this, the three of them were a little puzzled.

Little Lori opened her mouth and asked, "Then big brother, why did you frown just now?"

"Well......" Locke said after a moment's silence, "let's put it this way, when I make up stories in my head, I'm used to making them very detailed and specific. Therefore, the characters in the Star Stealing comics actually have specific images in my mind. Although the character design you drew is very good, it is different from my vision, which is why I frowned. ”

Hearing Locke's explanation, the three of them suddenly realized and felt relieved.

After all, when people made up this story, they already had a good idea of what those characters looked like, and even if you drew it well, it is estimated that people will not be satisfied.

Because it is contrary to what he envisioned.

"What kind of character does the big brother envision?" Listening to Locke's explanation, little Lori was much happier and asked instead.

"Huh...... Do you have a pen and paper?" Locke asked.

"Big brother, you wait. After saying that, little Lori staggered back to the room, and soon came out with A4 paper, pencil and eraser.

There are several types of pencils.

"I don't need to be so detailed, I'll just draw it roughly. With that, Locke took a piece of A4 paper and a 2B pencil and drew it.

Almost half an hour later, Locke's Ryuxing took shape.

Looking at the characters on the paper, Locke nodded with satisfaction and said to the little Lori on the side: "Well, this is the Ryuxing I imagined, by the way, he is black-haired." ”

Originally, when Locke was drawing comics, the three onlookers felt that something was wrong, and they thought he was drawing a supporting role, but they didn't expect it to be the protagonist Ryuxing!

Su Mu couldn't help but be surprised: "Locke, this ...... Doesn't that seem to be as beautiful as Xin'er's drawing?"

Hearing Su Mu's question, Locke smiled slightly.

He had long guessed that the three of them would have such doubts.

"What do you think is wrong about the Ryuxing I painted?"

"It doesn't matter if Ryuxing is short, this is set in the plot. But why do you still look so average?" asked Su Mu.

"Why is Ryuxing so handsome?" Locke asked rhetorically.

Why do you want to be handsome?

In order to attract the attention of the sister paper!

In order to be more handsome when you are handsome!

In order to be pleasing to the eye!

Belch...... There seems to be no other reason.

But overall, the handsome male protagonist of the comic can attract the attention of readers more!

Thinking of this, Little Lori said: "Big brother, the hero of the comic is handsome, can't he attract more readers?

Locke said: "It's true that the protagonist of the comic book is handsome and can attract more readers, but this is only the early stage, and there will always be two things that can leave readers in the end - a good plot and a good character! ”

"However, on the basis of the excellent plot and characters, if you can attract more readers in the early stage, why not?" Su Mu questioned.

That's a good question. Locke explained, "First of all, Ryuxing is a short man, this is the setting of the plot, right? Then you think about it, what is a short man and a beautiful type? Is it a beautiful type of Shota! A thoughtful and somewhat depressing comic like Stealing a Star, and a character like Ryukei, is it suitable for Shota's image? Ryuhoshi should be more serious, and the characters need to be more angular. ”

Hearing this, the three of them nodded secretly, the beautiful type Shota either gives people a feeling of weakness or a feeling of being black, and no matter which one it is, it is obviously not suitable for Ryuxing.

Locke continued, "Secondly, sometimes, it's not a good thing for the protagonist to be too beautiful. When we see a big beauty, the first impression is always that she is a vase, which is an illusion that is too good to be created. The situation is more serious, even if you know that this big beauty will have a lot of talents, it is still difficult to reverse the first impression of her vase in the subconscious.

In the same way, the protagonist is too beautiful to cover up a lot of things.

When your comic protagonist is dazzling enough, you should consciously reduce his external charm, so that the reader can pay more attention to his inner and make his inner more dazzling.

Because the inside of the protagonist is the key to a reader remembering the character in a year, two, five, or even ten years!

Ryuxing looks ordinary, which can bring out his personality charm!

And the last point, the so-called beauty type is actually the appearance that is most in line with the public's aesthetics. Since this is the case, there must be a standard in the dark! Therefore, many beautiful characters are easy to bump into their faces!

To be specific, the characters look alike, and the difference may only be in the eyes and hair color.

Don't you think that if you are used to seeing that kind of familiar protagonist, and then look at Ryuxing, can it make people's eyes shine?

And as long as the plot of the comics is wonderful and the characters are well shaped, Ryuxing will become a classic character in the minds of readers!"

Seeing that little Lori nodded thoughtfully, Locke said: "The second and third points I just said are only secondary, the most important thing is the first point." Xin'er, in my opinion, the image of the protagonist of a comic needs to fit the style of the comic, the plot, and many factors such as the character of the protagonist.

Well, sometimes there can be a big reversal of personality and image, for example, it looks like a gentle big sister, but it's actually a serial killer and corpse maniac. This can also give a sense of unexpected surprise.

But beware, there must be no sense of disobedience!

As I just said, the comic of the beautiful Shota and the Star Stealer, this is not an unexpected surprise, but a sense of disobedience.

Of course, it should be hard for you to do that.

It's not about your drawing skills.

Purely because this kind of image setting is done by the person who makes up the story, it is most appropriate.

Because, only he can know most clearly what kind of character image is the most perfect character image in his story.

So, in the future, I will help you write comic scripts, and some important character design questions, you can ask my opinion more.

Of course, the other unimportant characters are up to you. ”
