A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 126 Proposals
"You want to read my comics?"

Mo Ran blinked her eyes when she heard this.

If someone else raised this question, she would still be a little worried about whether the plots of the comics she did not serialize would be plagiarized.

But Xia Yan's words, she was quite at ease.

After all, the painting skills cannot be plagiarized, but the plot.
As far as Xia Yan's creative strength is concerned, this possibility is pitifully low.

Mo Ran just hesitated, got up and ran to her bag next to the activity room, and took out a stack of drawing paper.

This stack of paper is very thick, roughly forty or fifty pages.

"Green Years"

After seeing the title of this work, Xia Yan knew what type of comic she was drawing without even thinking about it.

girl manga
Open the first page of the manga and enter
It is a gorgeous and exquisite black and white cartoon illustration.

Even the heroine's hair accessories are not the kind of casually painted black, but help her draw a bun stroke by stroke.

The background, flowers and plants are not like some comics that are lazy and don't draw or just draw casually.

Xia Yan's eyes widened slightly.

Haven't eaten pork and never seen a pig run?
After reading so many comics, I generally still have some aesthetic standards in my mind.

"Your comic style is so exquisite."

"Really." A smug flash of Mo Ran's expression.

"After all, I have been obsessed with comics since I was four years old. I have copied the drawings of well-known domestic cartoonists since I was a child. I chose the art test because I was influenced by comics."

"Then when did you start contributing to these comic magazines?"

"High school."

"Grade one?" Xia Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then asked again.

"Then you have created several comic works from the first year of high school to the current sophomore year."

"Seven parts."

"The seven works have been submitted to 36 comic magazines in total, but these magazines have no vision, and have not serialized my comics once." Mo Ran expressed a little anger when she said this.

"By the way, I'm not always rejected. When I was in Jingsheng, my hometown, the person in charge of a small comic agency still liked my drawing skills and said that my heroine was very good-looking. Said that he would sign me, but... hoped that the works I created could conform to the style of a monthly adult manga published by their manga club, of course, I didn’t agree. "

"Adult. Comics" Xia Yan was silent when he heard the words.

He probably understood what it was.

Something's wrong, if nothing else, with Mo Ran's drawing skills, it's not a big problem to make his debut in the comics world.

Xia Yan picked up her comic manuscript and read on.

5 minutes later
Xia Yan raised his head in bewilderment.

what did i see
After reading dozens of pages of manga manuscripts, Xia Yan didn't even know who the hero is?

Is this work about love, youth, or friendship?

A little bit of everything is mentioned, but everything is scratched without digging in depth.

After reading so many pages, besides remembering the name of the heroine, Xia Yan is also very vague about the names of the main male characters.

"How is it?" Mo Ran looked expectantly at Xia Yan.

"The painting style is very good."

"anything else?"

"The heroine's character is beautiful."

"anything else?"

"The character design of the supporting roles is also very beautiful"

"." Mo Ran.

"Apart from the painting style, do you have any comments?"

"That... mainly because your cartoon style is too prominent, covering up other advantages too deeply." Xia Yan laughed awkwardly.

High emotional intelligence statement: the style of painting is too prominent to make other advantages not obvious.

Low EQ statement: Except for the style of painting, everything else is a pile of shit.

Mo Ran is not stupid, she sensed what Xia Yan meant.

"You also think this story is boring, don't you?" Mo Ran said after a pause.

After seeing Xia Yan's smiling and silent expression, her eyes gradually dimmed.

In fact, she also knows that many editors from comic agencies have told her that her painting style is fine, the difference is that the plot creation is really bad.

That's why when she recognized Xia Yan at the coffee shop, she had an idea and wanted to draw Xia Yan into the comic club.

She did not teach Xia Yan music and painting for free. Her real purpose was to make Xia Yan owe her a favor, and then Xia Yan would teach her the knowledge and details of plot creation.

After all, comics still require a bit of drawing skills, and novels really basically depend on the plot. Xia Yan was able to get No.1 in the selection of novels by the New God. His strength in plot creation is beyond doubt, maybe not all. Longguo is the best, but at least Xia Yan is the strongest among all the people Mo Ran can come into contact with.

Mo Ran hopes that Xia Yan can help her improve her plot creation ability, even if it cannot be done quickly
There is still a long way to go to university. In three or four years, it is hard to say how much I can learn from my own members and subordinates of this club.

"Actually, senior sister Mo Ran, have you considered a question!" Xia Yan said after carefully looking at Mo Ran's comic draft.

"Your plot creation may indeed not be so prominent."

It can be said that it sucks, Xia Yan complained in his heart.

If a person has been drawing comics for several years and still has this level of plot, then it is not a question of whether a novice is a novice or not.

It's a question of talent in plot creation.

It's no wonder that other manga journals don't serialize your works. No matter how good the style of painting is, it won't work if the plot is so out of the ordinary.

"But your painting skills are really good." Xia Yan turned around and praised.

Otherwise, the editor of the small comic agency would not have taken a fancy to her and invited her to draw comics for the book.

"Can you find someone who is talented in plot creation to cooperate with?"

Xia Yan said seriously.

"Some people are good at painting, and some are good at creating plots. If the two are combined, wouldn't that solve the problem perfectly?"

For such a long time, Xia Yan also knew the situation of cartoonists in many parallel worlds in Yuanqing's memory.

There is one of the top cartoonists in the island country. His painting style is changeable, delicate and exquisite. He is praised by the industry as a rare cartoon genius in decades.

But he is too short in plot creation.

His apprentice back then, who served as his manga assistant, was Nobuhiro Watsuki, who became famous through Rurouni Kenshin.

And Eiichiro Oda, who worked as a manga assistant for Nobuhiro Kawazuki, was famous all over the world for his One Piece
Both his apprentice and grandson have become top cartoonists in the industry, but he is still not very famous, so much so that he once doubted his life.

This person's name is Takeshi Obata.

Although, his early comic career was a bit ups and downs, and he focused on creating original plots by himself.

But later people also realized that they knew that they could not tell their stories well, so they could concentrate on drawing skills and collaborate with others to create comics.

So he and an ordinary housewife in the island country "Hotita Yumi" worked together to create the classic comic work "Soul of Chess."

He also collaborated with Oba Thrush to create two classic comics, "Death Note" and "Dream Eater".

Although in these works, Takeshi Obata is only drawing manga, and is not responsible for the work of plot conception.

But this does not affect Takeshi Obata's outstanding manga drawing, becoming the top manga artist in the island country.

Comic comics, you have to have excellent drawing skills before others want to understand the plot of your works.

Just like the original author of One Punch Man.
His original One-Punch Man painting style is surprisingly bad, which can be called the graffiti level of middle school students. When he serialized the original One-Punch Man on the Internet, it can only be said that it has a small audience.

It wasn't until he cooperated with Murata Yusuke to jointly release the reset version of the One Punch Man manga. With the support of Murata's excellent comic quality and one's ghostly plot, this work completely became popular and became popular in the parallel world.

For the theme of comics, plot and painting skills are indispensable.

"Find a collaborator in charge of the plot?" Mo Ran was taken aback when he heard that.

"You resist this approach?" Xia Yan asked.
