Cartoonist's Dream

You can listen to a concert for 30 yuan; you can watch a movie with popcorn; you can eat for three days if you save a little; everyone has their own desires, magazine people have magazines they want to buy, why should they buy A magazine from Shangguo Publishing House?

Why? ——Relying on his unparalleled exquisite painting style.

The morning of the sale.

"This, is this really painted by 'Ali'? Is this a magazine from Shangguo Publishing House? That third-rate publishing house?!" The retailer took the magazine from the wholesaler and asked in shock after flipping through it.

Shangguo Publishing House is not as short of funds as before, and this sale is only in Hong Kong, so it doesn't need a lot of money.Simply hand it over to the wholesaler for publicity this time, and each store comes with a big poster. [

There are generally two ways for shops and newsstands to obtain magazines: one is to order magazines from the distribution department of the post office; the other is to directly order goods from wholesalers.have

"I think if you buy a few more copies of "Old Master Q", you will have to go out of business."

"Nowadays young people also like "Old Master Q", you don't understand nonsense!"

The old man's single-mindedness naturally also cultivated some regular customers. The "young people" he called were tricycle drivers who were 20 years younger than him, and who were already in their 30s.

Fortunately, although some old retailers do not like the new painting style, they are more or less willing to try it for the sake of the traditional "Jiu Ding Ji"

"This comic is okay, give me five."

"Usually, I don't sell wholesale if there are not ten copies. This time, the promotion of the new issue will be cheaper for you."

"Whoever is cheaper may not know." Retailers only buy for the sake of wholesalers.

To be honest, the traditional school belongs to the type that draws more and pastes less (dot paper); the minimalist school belongs to the type that draws less and pastes more;

Among the three mainstream factions, the Aesthetic faction is actually the most complicated.

Aestheticism's cartoons are exquisite and exquisite.

Exquisite means that the cartoonist draws with both care and attention; exquisite means that a lot of materials are used, and readers are pleasing to the eye.Which comics are more cost-effective for readers, the result is clear at a glance.

The so-called style of painting is actually the style of painting, and every successful painting must have its unique style.If a cartoonist can develop his unique style of painting, he will certainly be able to cultivate a group of loyal fans.Mr. Ito's horror style of painting is a successful example. He was not well-known at the beginning, but after a period of persistence, he gradually emerged in the horror comics world.

It can be seen how important the style of painting is to a comic, and even a cartoonist.However, Li Mu's painting speed is so fast that it is shocking to have to separate the pen names and try different painting styles under each pen name.

Although Li Mu tried the unfamiliar style of painting, although it was a little rusty, his painting skills were first-rate.At least the skills of oil painting, ink painting and pencil sketching that ordinary cartoonists don't know, and ordinary readers can't tell that his brushwork is rusty at all.When publishing the manuscript, he paid special attention to his own painting style. All unqualified ones were crumpled up and thrown into the trash can, and those that were qualified but not consistent with the other six works were also discarded.

I know that when readers read an unfamiliar comic magazine, it is not the plot or thought that decides whether they will continue to read it, but the painting style and painting skills!

In the first chapter of about 40p, there is no plot at all, but a higher and deeper central idea.

After get off work in the evening of the day of sale.

In the magazine store called Express Bookstore in Yau Tsim Mong District, a customer finally discovered the new magazine of Shang Guoshe.

"This is?!" The woman who wanted to buy a youth literature magazine stopped in her tracks holding two magazines. She was attracted by the poster behind the counter.

The poster is made of oil painting, and the picture is fresh and natural. [

All kinds of plants in the painting reveal green buds, the blue color of the fig fig and the light green of the new leaves are intertwined, and the patches of pale white roses are dotted among them, which is really beautiful.The ground seemed to be covered with a huge green velvet carpet, soft and soft, undulating with the wind blowing.

In the center of the poster, there is a white round table under a white shelf covered with vines. On the small round table are manuscript paper, dip pens, cloud rulers and drawing ink.

There is also a cup of tea that has not been finished yet.The master who was halfway through the painting did not know where he went.People are not around, flowers are in full bloom, potted flower spikes are still spewing out fragrance, and there is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere everywhere, all of which wrap the viewers in the hazy sense of comfort.

"Uncle Express?" Attracted by the atmosphere, the woman with youth literature in her arms couldn't help asking.

"This poster? It's the poster of "Shang Guo Boutique". It promotes a comic magazine. You don't like to read it." The owner of the Express Bookstore knows this woman's interest. He watched her grow up from a literary girl. .

"I want to read it." Knowing that it was a manga rather than a literary novel, she begged for the first time this time.
