Gotta Go the Healing Route

Chapter 120 Appearance and interior

Kanna country comics are the same as previous Japan, mainly black and white comics.

Color comics are rare, and are generally only used as headers at the beginning of comics.

Drawing full-color comics on jump is definitely an unimagined path.

In other words, some people have indeed thought about it, but they can't do it.

Without him, the workload would be too much.

Manga coloring is a complicated process that is not inferior to drawing manga. To some extent, it is more cumbersome than drawing manga and requires more energy.

You must know that jump is a weekly magazine.

Serial cartoonists need to draw more than a dozen pages of comics and nearly a hundred storyboards within a week.With such a workload, even with the help of a professional assistant team, there are still a lot of dead line fighters and draft writers.This also makes 'not procrastinating' one of the virtues of cartoonists.

In this case, I still want to color the entire picture, but it can only be said that a person covered in liver can't stand it.

It's a great honor to put a few color pictures in the header of the page for you.

The full-color manga "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" is unique among jump's black and white manga.

For this reason, the discussion point changed from "Ubetsuchao's new work is a magical girl theme" to "Ubetsuchao's serialized work is a full-color manga." '

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the way.

Compared with the readers' amazement, those who are also cartoonists can deeply feel the horror of this colleague.

"More than 20 pages of comics in full color, completed within a week, is this something humans can do?"

Looking at the jump placed on the workbench, this new magazine has been opened to the page of "Magic Circle", and the colorful colors on it come into view, and Zhicheng, whose eyes are covered with black circles, can't help but shake his head .

While speaking, Zhicheng crumpled up the scrapped drawings in front of him and threw them into the wastebasket.

A story with more than twenty pages of pictures does not mean that cartoonists really only need to draw twenty pages, the most common situation is to double the number.

Because black ink is needed to draw the line, if there is a mistake, such as shaking hands, then this hard-working line draft will be invalidated.

Outlining and coloring are the two most important steps that require the full attention of the cartoonist. If you are not careful, all previous efforts will be wasted.Black ink cannot be wiped off with an eraser.

Coloring is a big project, and the idea of ​​color matching requires a lot of personal skills.The tedious workload has greatly increased the chances of producing scraps.

After all, in this day and age, drawing comics is really done stroke by stroke with a brush.Tools such as hand-painted board computer synthesis have not yet been developed.

Master Zhicheng shook his head.

Yu Biechao's superb painting skills and powerful details in "Death Note".It has always been what aspiring cartoonists want to pursue.Real Zhicheng is also one of them, so his paintings have always been striving for perfection, focusing on details, and never allowing any flaws to appear.

But regarding the coloring of the screen, he really couldn't beat it.Right now, his liver is still aching.

This different time and space does not have the word 'inward roll', otherwise the real Zhicheng would have protested loudly: "Brother, stop rolling. Can everyone take a step back? How can you make a living for your colleagues if you roll like this..."

Wu Shanyun next door was also in a similar mood.

In terms of competitiveness, Wu Shanyun, who has always been in a state of competition with Feng Jianxi, is even more competitive than Zhicheng.

Looking carefully at the screen of "Magic Circle", Wu Shanyun's brows became more and more wrinkled.

This made Xionglong who was sitting on the side secretly startled, fearing that this little ancestor would not be convinced for a while, he also decided to have a full-color show.With Wu Shanyun's level of seriousness, it is impossible not to delay the draft in the future.At that time, it will be hard for him.

And he knows Wu Shanyun's character, this kind of exaggerated thing, this girl who is cold on the outside and strong on the inside can definitely do it.

Finally, Wu Shanyun relaxed his brows and let out a long sigh.

"As expected of Kazama..."

Seeing Wu Shanyun's appearance, Daxiong Longyi was nervous, and couldn't help expressing the worry in his heart:

"Wu Shan, you're not going to use full color for the next issue, are you?"

"Ok?"

Wu Shanyun looked at Da Xiong Longyi with a puzzled expression: "Why did you say that?"

When Wu Shanyun said this, Daxiong Longyi immediately understood that the girl didn't have such thoughts, and smiled embarrassingly.

Wu Shanyun turned his head back and looked down at the jump in his hand.

"Perhaps Mr. Long Yi, you have misunderstood colors."

"Indeed, now the comics in Kanna Kingdom are basically presented in black and white, and there are very few full-color comics. Even senior editors have different understandings of this aspect."

"In fact, the addition of color to the existing black and white comics is not necessarily icing on the cake, but it is easy to have the opposite effect."

There are many advantages that color brings to comics, it can better highlight the landscape, and the bright color matching gives people a stronger visual effect.

Color is one of the elements in the picture that is most likely to catch the reader's attention.

However, strong colors can also have their downsides.

"It's overwhelming."

Wu Shanyun slowly spit out a word.

"The advantage of black and white comics lies in the various details drawn by sharp lines. Some things, if they are colored, cannot reflect their meticulousness. If there are too many details, if they are colored, they will not be as good as black and white comics.

Black and white comics also have color intervals, that is, grayscale, gray level.

The difference in gray scale makes the picture more deep and powerful, and at the same time it can also increase the content of the storyboard.Can express the content of the story in multiple latitudes.

After all, manga editors don’t really learn how to draw. The editor’s role is more to control the rhythm and content of the story.It was the first time Daxiong Longyi had heard of what Wu Shanyun said.

"Then it's better not to color the manga?" Big Bear Longyi asked curiously.

"You can't generalize."

Wu Shanyun shook his head.

"Suitability is the best."

"If color is suitable for manga, then you can do it. Just like Kazama-kun."

Wu Shanyun's gaze was once again on the screen of "Magic Circle".

"I was thinking about it before. Kazama-kun has changed his style of painting. Indeed, this cute style of painting is indeed more suitable for this kind of magical girl theme. But for Zhuyu's previous "Death Note", it is lacking All kinds of details are too rough for Kazama-kun."

"But I understand now that Kazama-kun deliberately gave up some details of painting skills, so that the color can better match the overall lines."

"Great."

"but..."

Wu Shanyun lowered his eyes.

Start with appearance, fall into talent, and be loyal to character.

No matter how good-looking a person is, they can only achieve the initial attraction.It can really attract others for ten years.

There is a difference between serial comics and books.It's like a partner and ji.

As long as you have a good style of painting in this book, you can finish it in one go anyway.Readers don't care too much about the plot.Of course, a book with a plot will appear more advanced.

But serial comics are different. Readers pay more attention to the story than the style of painting.

The story is the heart and soul of serial comics.

And the inner part of this "Magic Circle", that is, the core story, is still too ordinary at present.

"What will that guy do?" Wu Shanyun thought inwardly.

Interesting stories are the core of manga, and that boy will know about such things.

Therefore, there must be something hidden in this new work that seems to be no different from ordinary magical girl-themed works.

PS: Liver pain, it will be better to add more tomorrow.

Chapter 120 Coraqi

"Xi Jun, this is a gift for you."

In Kazama Xi's room, Uemura Ziwan took out the accompanying gift.

A few days ago, Aster Uemura went back to Tokyo again.This souvenir was brought from Tokyo.

After receiving the small jar handed over by Aster Uemura, through the transparent glass, one could see the red shriveled fruit grains stacked in it, and Kazama Xi's expression suddenly became a little strange.

Aster Uemura, who seemed to have seen Kazama Yuki's weird expression and thought he didn't understand what it was, quickly explained:

"This is a special product of the Celestial Dynasty 'Ningxia wolfberry' bought in a Chinese product store. I asked the owner of the store, and drinking this stuff with hot water is most suitable for people who are busy and hard at work to nourish their bodies."

'In fact, most of the use of this thing is at bedtime.It is not suitable for people who are busy and hard at work, but...'

'And I'm too young to use this thing. '

Kazama Xi really wanted to say these words, but finally held back.

"I am interested, Miss Ziwan." After thanking, Kazama Xi put the jar on the table.

"What's more, this week's Xiaozheng results have come out."

Uemura Aster coughed lightly.

"No.5. As a new work with only one chapter, this one has achieved very good results."

If the theme of magical girls is included, this achievement can be said to be the best achievement in the past ten years among similar works.

Because, in the past ten years, no magical girl manga has achieved such a high ranking.

"No. 5?" Hearing the news, Kazama Xi nodded, with a calm expression that couldn't tell whether it was happiness or frustration.

Uemura Aster secretly sighed in her heart.

In fact, the water content of this result is quite large. Many readers on jump actually don't like the theme of magical girls. A large part of the reason why they are willing to vote for "Magic Circle" is because of the light of "Death Note" and the name "Rain Farewell".

If someone else publishes the same work, the results of the first chapter may have been rushed to the end.

But the matter has come to this point, Uemura Ziwan can't say this kind of thing clearly, so as not to hit the author.Not only that, but she also gives encouragement.That's what a real editor does.

Moreover, in her eyes, apart from not choosing a good theme, Xi Kazama has definitely achieved the ultimate that a cartoonist can do in other aspects.

It's like coloring the screen of "Magic Circle".

Originally, Aster Uemura refused, because the pressure brought to the author by doing so was extremely huge.

Not to mention that Kazama Xi doesn't have a studio yet, and is struggling entirely on her own.In her opinion, Xi Kazama, who completed such a masterpiece as "Death Note" by herself, is already a god-man.After all, Kazama Xi had to take care of her studies in normal times.
