The most important thing about short comics is storytelling. No matter how detailed the drawing is, it is just icing on the cake. Even a simple stickman, as long as it can tell a good story, it is still a good comic.
Qin Guanglin looked at the four-frame caricature he was trying to draw on the drawing board and understood a little bit.
He is very talented in painting, some things don't need to be told by others, but he can understand them all when he thinks about them.
A painting that focuses on the structure of the story will be cumbersome if there are too many details, which will distract the reader's attention and ignore the story itself.
"The big guy is the big guy, you can use it immediately after drawing it once." Jiang Lingling on the side pulled out the drawing, put it on the scanner and transferred it to the computer.
She is the fluffy pink girl with big pockets, she has only a little drawing foundation, because she likes comics, she joined this company, and is working as an assistant like Yu Le.
"Can you draw these too?" Qin Guanglin thought it was too simple.
"Yes, yes, but not as fast as you, and sometimes I have to revise and revise." Jiang Lingling pointed to the manuscript as an example, "For example, in this story, I have to think about their movements and positions for a long time. After drawing it, there is no such meaning Still have to repaint."
These are the story drafts that the editor thought of and received from the Internet, which are interesting, realistic, and ironic. The assistants sorted them out and printed them out, and then they figured out how to show them in comics based on the story.
Just like the four-panel painting of two people and one dog circulated in a certain bar, a: "Will it bite people?" B: "No, but it will hurt you in another way." Dog: "You don't have a female friend."
Eh, that's it.
"Well... let me take a look at this." Qin Guanglin put the draft of the four-panel painting aside, and took a long draft to look at.
There are cultural differences between the north and the south, it would be better to exaggerate this style...
After reading it all, Qin Guanglin had a general picture in his head, and drew two characters on the paper casually.
"The editor came up with this idea by collecting materials by himself, and it looks interesting." Jiang Lingling said from the side, and drew a random character, but it was ugly and cute.
A little embarrassed after finishing the painting, she tore off the paper and prepared to throw it away.
"It seems pretty good." Qin Guanglin had already seen it, and drew an even uglier one on his drawing board.
"Did you do it on purpose?!" Jiang Lingling only felt ugly, which is not bad.
"..."
Qin Guanglin ignored her and seriously considered the feasibility of this ugly and cute style.
With an upturned nose and stubble, a vest, slippers and big pants, plus air bangs.
Perfect.
An image of a character jumped onto the paper, like an old man watching the door in a bathhouse.
"How is it?" Qin Guanglin asked.
"ugly."
"Have you seen it?"
"I seem to have seen comics of this style, but they are all spoofs." Jiang Lingling was thinking, what is the name of that comic
Qin Guanglin drew two different characters with similar styles, "Wait for me to draw a section to see the effect."
Using the three characters as templates, Qin Guanglin began to draw lines on the paper.
This work is completely different from his previous paintings. It is easy and freehand. Anyway, the story is there, as long as the style and image are determined, follow the painting.
It doesn't matter if you make a wrong drawing, anyway, you should be familiar with it on the first day of employment, and you can draw whatever you want.
It was noon, and Sun Wen came over and saw that the painting on Qin Guanglin's desk was choking on his saliva, and coughed frantically, "You... cough cough cough... what... cough cough... what the hell is this?"
Can this kid draw such an ugly thing
Make trouble!
This company is full of two-dimensional young people who love comics. They have always produced aesthetic works. Even the four-frame comics are simple and not spoof.
"Just for fun, how interesting is it?" Qin Guanglin put down his pen, thought it was okay, and looked happy.
"It's okay, stop it." Sun Wen has been trying to draw beautifully and well, and he doesn't like this style from the bottom of his heart.
"Fine."
Qin Guanglin looked at the time and threw the pen aside, "It's time for dinner?"
"Well, go out to eat or order takeaway?"
"Let's go out." Qin Guanglin looked around, everyone else was walking out, only one or two people were sitting on their seats.
"Yu Le, let's go." Sun Wen called out, leading Qin Guanglin and Yu Le to the outside of the company.
This place is quite remote, there were not many people at noon, the elevator was full after waiting for two trips, Qin Guanglin boredly took out his mobile phone and prepared to fight two landlords.
I still owe someone a hundred thousand beans.
"You still play this?" Sun Wen asked, in his opinion, only women like this kind of game.
"It's fun." Qin Guanglin logged in according to the account password He Wu sent him.
"Well, this is quite fun, to exercise memory." Yu Le agreed, he also has Doudi Zhu on his mobile phone, and wanted to take it out to play for a while, but gave up after checking the battery.
Sun Wen turned to look at Yu Le, "Train your memory?"
"Well, don't you remember the cards?" Qin Guanglin asked naturally.
"Who still memorizes cards when playing this game?" Sun Wen looked disgusted, let alone a card memorizer, even if he didn't have one, he wouldn't bother to memorize them.
"If you don't memorize cards and fight against landlords, the fun will be gone." Qin Guanglin looked up and looked down on him, as a man with well-developed limbs really didn't bother to use his brain.
"The fun of Fighting the Landlord is to memorize the cards." Yu optimistically agrees.
"Just idle." Sun Wen shook his head, "I can't pee in the same pot with you."
"Isn't it just idle?" Qin Guanglin didn't get off to a good start, he was beaten for a spring, and only a thousand or so of the 3,000 free beans he had just received were left.
One hundred thousand... Come on! As long as you win 100,000, you can meet your father-in-law!
Qin Guanglin couldn't help grinning at the thought of going to someone's home to meet his parents.
"I've never seen a Doudizhu who can still giggle at the screen after losing." Sun Wen frowned, "Is there something wrong with you being too stressed?"
"No, I think of some happy things." Qin Guanglin didn't raise his head, too lazy to explain the relationship between Douzi and the old man.
After waiting for another ten minutes, the elevator finally had a vacant seat, and the three of them went downstairs together, letting Sun Wen take them to a nearby fast food restaurant for dinner.
The store is very busy, there are only a few seats left, and it is estimated that there will be no seats after a while.
"Duck leg rice." Yu Le went in and ordered directly, looking very familiar.
"Ground rice with three delicacies." Qin Guanglin also made a decision as he glanced at the menu on the wall.
Sun Wen frowned and struggled for a moment before sighing, "Let's cover rice with shredded potatoes."
"Aren't you fond of meat, why are you starting to be a vegetarian?" Qin Guanglin paid the money and walked towards the empty seat with the menu card.
"Poor, at least you have to save money for a month." Sun Wen shook his head, "Yesterday was a hemorrhage."
"Yesterday? Where did you take your girlfriend to play?" Qin Guanglin remembered that he posted photos in the group, trying to learn some experience.
"Where else can I go? The shopping mall, damn Valentine's Day." Sun Wen looked depressed, "A donkey brand bag costs thousands of dollars, I don't know what's so good about it."
Qin Guanglin was taken aback, "Hey, you are really willing!"
"I've been talking about it for a long time, but if you don't buy it, you can't get it." Sun Wen was still in pain about the thousands of dollars, "What about you? Didn't you go out with your girlfriend yesterday?"
"We're together, but we didn't go shopping."
"There is always a gift, what did you give, and how much did you spend?" Sun Wen felt that this kid must be rich, and wanted to make himself psychologically balanced through comparison.
"A hair band..." Qin Guanglin was ashamed, and compared with Sun Wenyi, it was not a gift at all, "It's only ten yuan."
"..."
Sun Wen looked at him and stopped talking.
Qin Guanglin thought for a while and then explained: "I didn't think of the gift at first, and it was used as a top-up, so I must make up a better one."
"Strange, you can still find a girlfriend like this?" Sun Wen looked skeptical, "At least you have to give Yang Shulin Givenchy or something?"
"What is that?" Qin Guanglin was confused.
"Lipstick!" Sun Wen despised it even more. He was a straight man, and he really didn't know how to talk to someone.
Yu Le sat on the sidelines in silence and played with his mobile phone. Single dogs have to protect themselves, so don't make any noise at this time.
"Oh~"
Qin Guanglin thought for a while, why didn't he seem to have worn lipstick, just put on some lip balm.
The small mouth is red even without lipstick, there is no need to give her lipstick, when the time comes, she has to eat it herself...
What if I get poisoned
