The dragon dancers were sweating profusely and were "outsiders" in the village, so the position they sat in was naturally the downwind at the end of the banquet. This place is relatively easy to be overlooked, and Riki, who doesn't want to talk to people, hides in the dragon dance team. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and he was finally found by the people who deliberately looked for him, but fortunately, the village woman did not reveal his location.

"Limu, the village cadres are all at your table, don't you want to accompany them?" The village woman squatted on the side of the pear wood chair and asked a question symbolizing her surname, as a rash conversation.

"I've already thanked them for helping me hold a celebration party."

Limu is not opposed to this kind of celebration, even if there is more food left in the village celebration, it will not cause waste, and almost every household will pack some vegetables back after the meal, and it is difficult to leave some vegetable juice to feed the pigs.

"Well, Aunt Yan asked you about something."

The village woman squatted down and was half a head shorter than Limu, and when she spoke, she had to turn her back to talk to him.

――If you just "inquire about something", I'm afraid that you won't have to squat down as soon as you come.

Seeing that she didn't plan to make it clear in a few words at the beginning, Limu was afraid that her cervical spine would be sore, and she was afraid that she would bow her head and be tired, so she immediately proposed:

"How about a stool and sit down? It's tiring to squat like this. ”

"Good. Good. ”

The village woman nodded her head in agreement, and turned around to get a stool as if she had been ordered.

Pingnan Village is an urban village, and the people in the village are not loyal and honest, nor are they as silent as the villagers in the countryside. In fact, the village surrounded by the city has long since lost its way to live, and once the villagers are demolished, they will definitely die, and the far-sighted villagers will no longer cling to this one-third of an acre of land. Aunt Yan is obviously a villager with a lively mind.

"My son wants to draw comics like you, where can he learn it? What kind of story do you have to draw to make money. She said what she meant.

"How old is your son?" Riki didn't have much of an impression of this person who claimed to be Aunt Yan.

It's a fact. I think he spends most of his day painting, unlike other children running around the village, and he knows only a few people, and he does his best to maintain intimacy with those he cares about.

"Almost two years older than you."

Aunt Yan didn't care that Limu didn't know her son. The so-called noble people are busy - they forget things, and it is strange that the unicorn, who rarely sees a shadow once in half a year, can remember his son, but it is strange if he remembers.

"Two years older—?" It's only the first year of junior high school at most, so you want to make money from comics? Limu laughed sullenly at Aunt Yan's statement, "Since you want to draw comics, you shouldn't be in a hurry to think about what to draw, you should first learn to draw." To learn comics, you first learn to draw human faces, then character movements, and then learn drawing skills such as parallel perspective and light angles. Dead objects such as tables and houses are actually the easiest to draw. ”

The village woman nodded. Riki is undoubtedly an expert in this area. Although she has asked a lot of people before and knows a lot about comics, she always has no idea how to learn comics.

"Do you know what a manga is?" Riki's tone is very soft.

"What is it?" The village woman chimed in, not intending to say what she thought.

"Manga is a drawing, but it's not a painting that a painter paints to express the emotion of a moment," Riki explained to the village woman the nature of manga, hoping that she would realize that manga is not something that is so easy to learn.

"It's a sequence, coherent picture story. Therefore, what your son needs now is to learn to draw comic characters first, and then he will be able to draw when his mind is mature enough. Of course, if you want to learn it, you must first know the basic tools such as dot paper, dip pen, and tool ruler. The condensation period from learning to draw a page of manga is about half a year, which is the time to give up other work to concentrate on learning manga, and it should take 2 or 3 years to mature if you learn while taking classes. ”

Aunt Yan seemed to not understand, and smiled kindly at Limu. When talking to people, the most feared thing is to meet people who are not clear about the content of the conversation at all.

-- Aunt Yan is obviously the type who has no basic knowledge.

"There are many different types of comics, and each comic primer has its own opinion, but if I had to divide it, there are actually only two kinds of comics. One is called 'private comics' and the other is called 'fantasy comics'. ”

"...... 'private comics' and 'fantasy comics'?" Aunt Yan repeated.

Riki took a sip of Sprite from the cup in his hand, moistened his throat and said: "Private comics are also called objective comics, which are a bit similar to the meaning of 'private novels' - that is, an objective creation of people, things, and things that happen around me with 'me' as the center of observation.

"In private fiction, 'I Words' first-person fiction is often referred to as 'low-level' fiction. Because the beginning of the word 'I' can only be used to read the article from the point of view of 'I', the author does not need to consider writing skills such as 'God's vision' and 'others' for the reader's purpose when writing an article.

However, it is not necessarily true to say that private novels are low-level, and the famous genius novelist Kazuo Ozaki is an expert in writing private novels. Of course, drawing manga doesn't have to worry so much, just grasp a good point of view. Private comics are the creation of objective facts that have happened to oneself or others.

"Life experiences cannot be endless, especially when a person immerses himself in creation, his life almost stagnates, and enters a kind of rest stage of 'creative summary'.

"When the things that happened around us are finished, the creators who are poor in donkey skills will turn to 'fantasy', from the theme of real life to the theme of fantasy. This is the time when the painter is most tested, after all, there is no longer a painting of objective subjects close to reality, so what do they need to rely on to attract readers? ”

Riki smiled. Aunt Yan, who was on the side, gave up thinking completely and waited for him to announce the answer.

"For fantasy cartoonists, there are two decisive points - one is drawing skills; The second is thinking.

These two points are very similar to novelists, when their life experiences, experiences, and all objective facts cannot be written, the novel will be transformed into a fantasy novel. At this time, there are two decisive points for their novels to attract readers - that is, the writing and the plot.

"Even if it is divorced from reality, who will read a novel without writing and plot? On the contrary, like Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", whether it is written or plotted, such novels will be sold well, and they will continue to be remade into TV series. His creation is a fantasy work based on objective historical facts, and mature creators can directly skip the stage of 'private' and add their own fantasy plots to the objective facts to attract readers. Its mature writing is also one of the key deciding factors.

"In comics, the drawing technique determines the reader's perception, and the plot determines the reader's obsession. As you said, your son has never studied manga and is not a few years older than me. Such a child draws comics while attending classes, and has not gone through seven or eight years of tempering, is his drawing skills mature to the extent of attractiveness? Or does he have enough life experience to support him in drawing private comics? Or does he already have a mature mind beyond his years for him to create fantasy comics that make sense and appeal? ”

"If the drawing skills are superb, the plot falls but ups and downs, the comics will sell well; The painting skills are superb, the plot is erosive, and there are still people who will watch it; But the drawing skills are clumsy and the plot is messy, so I'm sorry......"

Aunt Yan returned with a bitter smile. This time she understood that drawing comics was like writing a story - writing if you had to, and making it up if you didn't. Children who are too young have not had much life experience, so how can they create good stories? Children are naïve, and who reads the cartoons they conceive? The story is not good-looking, and the drawing skills are not particularly outstanding, so how can a 12- or 3-year-old child draw a comic that can be sold for money?

Thinking back to Limu's "Q version of the Three Kingdoms", didn't it start with the beef offal stall of the Chengguan vs. Guan Gong at the beginning? The whole comic is very close to reality from buying and selling, rice, Chinese cabbage, and the market.
