Chapter 9: The Sword of the Yue Nu and The Seven Weapons

The G pen used by professional cartoonists is actually very difficult to use, and many newcomers who have just started drawing comics use the word "challenge" to describe it, but if you don't use the G pen and use a dipping pen that is easier to use, although you can easily make the lines drawn the same, but in that case, you will lose the most important atmosphere and flavor of the comics.

In fact, this can also be compared to the writing of a novel, if you can use a good G pen and have good painting skills, it is equivalent to having excellent writing, which can make the environmental description and character description in the text more plump and immersive, so that the reader is immersive!

But the G pen, which is very difficult to use, is easily controlled by An Yi, her talent in painting is so good, whether it is art painting or commercial comics, she is confident to draw them well!

Before drawing the original comic sketch, you first draw a rough draft composition with a pencil, and then spend a lot of time and energy creating the most important storyboard, and then draw the original based on the storyboard.

The reason why it takes so much time and effort to storyboard is naturally to create the plot, and then to consider the composition and division, so that it is attractive for both the whole and the part!

For a professional cartoonist who serializes, before drawing the original manuscript, he must first discuss the storyboard with his editor-in-charge, and no matter how many times he repeats it, he must create it until the editor says it is good.

I've never heard of a cartoonist who dares to go straight to the original without a draft or storyboard......

However, now An Yi is doing this kind of thing that surpasses the common sense of all cartoonists!

She has already thought about the story of her submission to the "Rising Star" Newcomer Award, and now the date has passed the Spring Festival, which is mid-February, and there are two weeks before the deadline for the submission of the "Rising Star" Newcomer Award, which is also the day she will start school.

She is going to draw two short martial arts works to submit to the "rising star" newcomer award, with a total of 62P original manuscripts, which is a huge amount of creation, but it is equivalent to the workload of a weekly serialized cartoonist with four or five assistants for three weeks!

And many weekly serialized cartoonists feel extremely pressed for time in this situation of having an assistant!

The fatigue and fatigue of a weekly serialized cartoonist is unimaginable to ordinary people!

But now, whether it is the painting of the background or the effect, or the sticking of dots, she is doing it alone!

The thing about her evil is that she can complete all the storyboards in her head, and all she has to do is draw the storyboards in her head into the original draft!

She clearly omitted the first two most time-consuming and energy-consuming steps......

In a sense, her talent is already a special ability, of course, novelists don't write outlines, detailed outlines, and write in one go, but I've never heard of a cartoonist who can draw a perfect original manuscript in one go, and what can be drawn is only graffiti at most.

However, Anyi can do it!

The two short comics she wanted to draw, one was Jin Yong's "Yue Nu Sword", and the other was Gu Long's "Seven Weapons" The first "Immortal Sword", and she hoped that the latter could be drawn and published.

The work "Yue Nu Sword" is based on the historical background of Wu Yue's struggle for hegemony, Wu is superior and inferior, Gou Jian used Fan Li's strategy to defeat Fucha, and when he was close to success, he encountered setbacks in sword casting and swordsmanship. The swordsmen of Wu State are not only good at swordsmanship, but also good at using the art of war, and the more people are invincible.

At this time, the sheep herding girl Ah Qing defeated the four swordsmen of Wu State lightly, Fan Li was surprised by this, and took Ah Qing to the mansion, and finally made the Yue swordsmen observe the shadow of the "divine sword". With the shadow of this "divine sword", Yue Guo's swordsmanship is already invincible in the world!

On the other hand, under the guidance of Xue Zhu, Yue Guo also created tens of millions of sharp swords, and the conditions were ripe, Gou Jian had long been unable to bear it, and finally broke the Wu army.

And in Fan Li's heart, breaking through the Wu State is not the only purpose, he wants to see the beautiful Xi Shi who was dedicated to his husband. When the two met, Ah Qing appeared, because she had already fallen in love with Fan Li, and injured Xi Shi with her sword qi. But in the end, he left because of Xi Shi's beauty......

For 2,000 years, people have known that "Xizi Holding the Heart" is the most beautiful image in the world.

Frankly speaking, this "Yue Nu Sword" is not Jin Yong's most famous work, but it is indeed a masterpiece of short and medium-story martial arts novels, which is just used to adapt into martial arts short comics.

The protagonist in this novel is undoubtedly Ah Qing, and many Jin Yong fans even believe that Ah Qing is the strongest character in all Jin Yong's martial arts novels, nicknamed - Sword God!

Ah Qing was originally a shepherdessman in the Yue Kingdom, and when she was shepherding sheep, she happened to encounter a white ape that could make bamboo sticks, and since then she has often fought with it with bamboo sticks, so she has learned superb swordsmanship.

Her image is based on the "Zhao Maiden" who is the head of the thirty-three swordsmen in "Wu Yue Chunqiu", and the Zhao Mainu, who was taught swordsmanship by the white ape incarnated by the sword immortal, is a deified character.

Defeating the white ape, a bamboo stick swept through thousands of armies with a bamboo stick in hand, creating the myth of "three thousand Yue armor is invincible" (it is also said that the 1,000 long swordsmen led by Fan Li at the beginning are not counted, and Ah Qing is an enemy of 2,000).

The original text in "The Sword of the Yue Woman" is described: "There was a shouting sound outside the palace gate in the field, followed by a choking and choking sound, which was the sound of the blade falling to the ground." The sound rang out from outside the palace gate, like an extremely long snake, swimming quickly, and the sound of a soldier falling to the ground sounded on the corridor. A thousand armorers and a thousand swordsmen couldn't stop Ah Qing. ”

But Ah Qing didn't kill the killer, he just shot down the opponent's weapons one by one, but the sound of the weapons landing on the ground could be connected together, and it was impossible to distinguish, which was really incredible!

There is no doubt that it is precisely this super record of one person VS two thousand armor soldiers that makes many people feel that she is the strongest character in Jin Yong's martial arts novels.

Of course, An Yi will draw such a plot that can shock countless readers, the appearance of this comic is already stronger than the novel, plus she has such superb drawing skills, you can imagine how people will react when they read this plot!

After all, the martial arts of this world, no, it should be martial arts comics, kung fu comics, just take the most popular "Xia Ying" on the market today, its setting is biased towards reality, it feels like old-school martial arts, and the fight is very hard-lined, and there is no new school of martial arts at all......

Therefore, the "Yue Nu Sword" she wants to paint can definitely be called a milestone work!

And what made An Yi feel inspired was the peerless beauty named "Xi Shi"!
