Chapter 8 Never Expected

Akira Toriyama became a demigod because of the book "Dragon Ball", but he could only stay there and become a demigod. From then on, he could never draw works like "Alarei" and "Dragon Ball".

However, the demigod is also a god. Toriyama's "Dragon Ball" almost sublimates several important elements of "friendship, hard work, battle, and victory" in the king's battle to the extreme, giving countless inspirations to the later generations.

From then on, "the dead friend will explode", "the master finally dies from an unknown little person", "the protagonist must be able to fly", "there will be a competition if you are not determined", etc. have become good ideas for latecomers to learn from.

Moreover, his battle storylines were even more amazing. Even a certain author of the three major migrant workers later said in an interview that he was inspired by Dragon Ball and his respect for Akira Toriyama's masterpiece "Dragon Ball" was beyond words.

That kind of super speed fight!

Confrontation!

Blow the earth!

Push the mountains!

No one can stop the pleasure of the final explosion of the stars.

Fang Yuan clearly remembers that in the early 1990s, he was still a child. The price of "Dragon Ball" comics in China was 1.9 yuan per book, while the snow strips cost 1 cents per piece. The price of a comic was very expensive, but it still couldn't stop adults and children who like comics.

At that time, he didn't know whether it was genuine or pirated. Anyway, almost one out of twenty elementary school students in the class had one.

Compared with China's huge population base, you can imagine how popular Dragon Ball was in the country at that time.

Since he had made a decision, Fang Yuan immediately tuned out "Dragon Ball" in his golden finger.

After turning on the auxiliary function, the first episode of "Dragon Ball" appeared on the white paper.

It's really powerful...

Fang Yuan sighed a little when he looked at the white paper in front of him that only he could see the picture.

With this, my work is more like copying, right?

He took a deep breath, then gently tapped the pen in his hand on the paper.

"Ding! I detected that the player began to paint seriously, and started the first step to becoming a great cartoonist."

"The primary beautification and correction function is enabled!"

"Instructions for the primary beautification and correction function: When players complete the original, they can use the beautification and correction function, which will increase the effect of the original by 2%, use cost, 5 popularity, and the function can be upgraded with points."

The sudden sound scared Fang Yuan, and his hands trembled, and a piece of white paper became invalid.

“…”

"MMP, can't you remind me in advance before coming out? In this way, you will be scared to you when you draw in the future, so you won't waste it?"

After cursing, Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes - happy.

Of course he knew how to use the primary beautification and correction function, after all, the game was made with his friends.

In short, this beautification and correction function is to PS the original manuscript drawn by the cartoonist, so that some of its flaws will disappear, and make the already outstanding effect better.

For example, in a passionate battle scene, the extra 2% bonus is more, even if it is an ordinary opening fight, it may make readers feel passionate and passionate.

As for popularity, the comics drawn by the characters in the game were set at that time and were sold, just like a store. The popularity is as valuable as you can sell.

And the points used for upgrading...that is krypton gold. Think about it, how can you become stronger if you don’t krypton gold?

If an operating game does not allow players to spend money, it is failure and shameful.

Although I don’t know how to spend money on gold fingers, Fang Yuan believes that after he draws "Dragon Ball", the system will definitely change. Then check the situation. Even if there is no follow-up, it is already against the will of heaven now. You must be content in life.

Thinking of this, he changed into a blank piece of paper and began to shamelessly plagiarize.

However, Fang Yuan soon discovered that things were not as simple as he thought.

The cartoonist's pen is different from ordinary pens. The first time he used this kind of pen, he felt awkward like a child who had just practiced writing.

Although I wanted to draw well, even if I draw according to the picture, I couldn’t draw the lines well, and I often deviated from the original trajectory.

"We are not a professional cartoonist!"

"No one knows the original manuscript of these pictures!"

"No one knows that I was a little bit off!"

"Today I just don't be a cartoonist, I'm mediocre, I'll be single for the rest of my life, jump out of here, and I won't modify the pictures any more!"

“…”

"It's so ugly, it's so unpleasant, so I'd better draw it again."

——————————————————————————————————

I believe that most people have painted some simple figure paintings in exercise books or picture books in elementary and middle school.

Most of them are beautiful girls and boys. It often takes one lesson to draw like this.

Drawing comics requires more energy and more time. Often, a picture takes one or two hours, while beginners like square circumference need more time.

However, Fang Yuan’s advantages are still very obvious. If ordinary cartoonists want to draw originals, the most difficult thing is not to draw, but to design storyboards.

The so-called storyboard is something that is one step earlier than the draft.

In simple terms, it is to first arrange the content of a comic manuscript in a similar way to graffiti, such as how many grids are on this page, what to express, what background is needed, where are these backgrounds, what are the characters' actions, etc.

This is the hardest step in the comics!

Even a god-level cartoonist needs to try it with great trembling times at this step.

For example, in order to show the strength and impact of the protagonist's punch, this pattern may need to account for half of the entire painting.

But would it be better if I took all of it?

Will it be more pleasing to account for one quarter?

Is it better to put the left or the right?

In order to test the effect, cartoonists with obsessive-compulsive disorder may draw six or even more than six storyboards directly, and then compare them to take out the most satisfactory one.

This process is impossible to carefully draw characters and scenery. Most of them use graffiti to draw lines to make rough work.

But it’s not OK to be satisfied with yourself, so you have to show it to the editor.

And what is the edit?

The editor is the "black-hearted evil man" who strives for excellence.

He will collect your original manuscript first and then tell you - you are far from enough, hehehe, go back for me, continue to draw, and strive to draw to the best of your best!

What?

The comics I drew with 100% of my absolute domain cannot pass?

You dog editor, I will go against the will of heaven today and beat you to death on the spot!

...

Therefore, many cartoonists are forced to confirm that their works have been approved at the last moment before the deadline. During this period, they have various quarrels and even quarrels and collapses with their editors.

Over time, rumors spread that "comic artists and editors are incompatible", "comic artists are used to dragging manuscripts", and "editors are demons holding whips".

Only after you are satisfied with the storyboard will the original manuscript be portrayed.

Fang Yuan skipped the painful design in the front and directly plagiarized the finished product. According to our statement, it is.

This shameless dog thief.
Chapter completed!
