76. Approaching ComicFun

On Monday, Fantasy Weekly magazine was released.

The next day, I received a quick report, and "Chess Soul" ranked ninth.

Guo Pinyuan had mixed feelings when he saw this achievement.

First of all, the quick report is ninth, which means that this time the results of this newspaper of "Chess Soul" are floating within the range of sixth to twelfth, and there is no significant fall, which can be said to make Guo Pinyuan breathe a sigh of relief. But the corresponding problem came out, the results of the quick report were biased, but which side this deviation value was close to largely determined Guo Pinyuan's mood.

If the ranking is close, then needless to say, Guo Pinyuan should naturally be happy, but if the ranking is low, then the problems that plagued him before will still exist, maybe he will not have such good luck next time.

It's really sad, Guo Pinyuan thought.

On the other hand, Liang Yu's frequency of participating in the anime club has become more diligent recently, and now she is working with Xiao Lin and Liao Yuqing in the activity room of the club to help the Meihua senior sister who rushed to the manuscript as an assistant, as for the unworthy president of the club Yu Wentong himself, he was idle and bored flipping through the comics.

Among the three, the most skilled is Xiaolin, a third-year junior high school student, followed by Liang Yu, but she only has experience in sketching, so she is responsible for simple blackening work, and as for Liao Yuqing, who has no beginner at all, she is arranged to need patience and careful dot mapping.

At first, Liang Yu was a little resistant to drawing this kind of cartoon, although when she was a doctor, she also came into contact with many women's and men's ** organs, but that was a professional need. But it's horrible to draw this kind of thing, especially when it's still a bunch of girls.

However, after seeing Tao Meihua easily draw a complete set of human body structure drawings in person, Liang Yu changed his opinion, sure enough, the cartoonist who was born in Gongkou is really good at the perspective ratio and action of the characters, according to Tao Meihua himself, Gongkou cartoonists eat this meal, if women are not good-looking, or out of shape too much, no one wants to buy it.

"Did Xiaoyu learn to sketch in the studio for two months before?"

"Hmm."

"So do you practice drawing close-ups of models?"

"Nope. I practiced drawing geometry, still lifes, and plasters. ”

"Ah, that's equivalent to practicing in vain." Tao Meihua said arbitrarily, but after she thought about it, she felt that it was inappropriate, and changed it slightly: "It should be said that it is not very useful for you to draw comics." ”

"Huh?" Liang Yu thought that he had finally gotten started, but now he was told that all the hard work of the past two months had been in vain, and the blow was obviously quite large.

"To be honest, comics have nothing to do with sketching, and there are many cartoonists who have not studied sketching and become painters, of course, I am not saying that sketching is useless, but that if you don't go deeper, you only learn the kind of things that teach people to cope with exams in the studio, it is not practical."

"So what are we going to do?" Liang Yu doesn't plan to write original works for the rest of her life, but she hopes that after her drawing skills improve, she will be able to draw comics herself.

"Well, if I had to say, I should focus on practicing the human body."

"The human body?"

"Well, the comics are all people-oriented, right?,Although there are backgrounds.,Outlets and things like that.,But it's something that can cut corners.,And as long as it's famous and serialized in a magazine.,You can just throw this work to an assistant.。

To be honest, Liang Yu thinks this kind of statement is very problematic, but she still believes it.

"So what does it take to learn the human body?"

"There are a lot of reference books on the market that teach people to draw comics, and they all have how to draw the human body, and it is probably difficult to grasp the proportions of the human body, the position of the joints, to the drawing of muscles and bones, and finally the perspective of the human body." Tao Meihua said: "The first two steps need to be observed more, and the most difficult is perspective, which can only be summarized by drawing more, after all, painting is like this, if you draw more, you will naturally draw well." ”

"......" Liang Yu was quite inspired when she heard this, but looking at Tao Meihua's comics, aside from those peach-colored plots and workport pictures, Tao Meihua's pictures are really beautiful, especially the women in her pen, all of whom have a convex and backward devil figure, seeing this, Liang Yu couldn't help but think of a question: "Speaking of Tao Meihua, how did you think of these women's actions here, should you say that it is your ......?"

"Well, these are all POSS in front of the mirror by myself." Tao Meihua shrugged her shoulders regretfully: "Because of my age, I can't buy those DVDs in public for material." ”

"Isn't there a shame in doing that?" Liao Yuqing asked curiously.

"At first, it may have been a little bit, but with the fantasy in my head, I can have a special taste after posing, and I want to be a model myself, which is very common for cartoonists." For Tao Meihua, who seemed to be chatting with common sense, Liang Yu didn't dare to ask her what she meant in her words.

"Meihua is stupid. What about women. Yuwen Tong put his hands on his shoulders like a ruling, closed his eyes and nodded, and said solemnly, "Fortunately, this is a girls' school, if it was a boys' school, a guy like you must have been messing with men for a long time." ”

"It's a faux pas, I'm still here. Female. Tao Meihua seemed to react to Yuwen Tong's words, and her eyes became foggy: "But if someone is found drawing such a cartoon in an ordinary high school with a co-educational school, he will definitely be coerced." "If you don't want to be known, just listen to me," he was forced to dispose of the liquid he had accumulated overnight with his mouth in the empty classroom in the morning, and then he was taken to an old school building or a sports warehouse with no one during his lunch break, and finally dropped out of school because she was pregnant, and then she was put on a collar and kept at home, living a life soaked in white turbidity every day—ah, the inspiration for my creation suddenly poured out......"

In response, everyone's reaction was that this guy went to a girls' school, which is really good.

Tao Meihua's works serialized in the "Monthly Youth Genes" are delivered on the 8th of each month, and the monthly serialization is different from the weekly magazine, which requires 37 pages to be delivered at a time, which is relatively generous. However, because the beginning of next month is the statutory long holiday of the federal government, most students will choose to leave the school, so Tao Meihua insisted on getting it done before the vacation.

"Does Senior Sister Meihua have any reservations for her vacation?"

"Huh, don't you know?"

When Liang Yu asked so inadvertently, the other party actually asked fiercely.

"It's ComicFun."

"It's ComicFun."

Yuwen Hitomi and Kobayashi both said.

"ComicFun, what's that?" This question was not mentioned by Liang Yu, but asked by Liao Yuqing, who had always felt unable to interject.

"It's a comic con exhibition, the largest fandom exhibition in Southeast Asia is Comiket, which is held in August in the summer and the end of December in the winter, while ComicFun is a smaller comic con exhibition, but there are also many people who participate, and the organizers of this event invite well-known cartoonists to help every year, so the scale has been getting bigger and bigger in recent years." Yuwen Hitomi was responsible for explaining.

"Hmph, I've been hungry for a long time. The thirst is unbearable. Tao Meihua said conceitedly.
