Rebirth of the Father of Anime

A few days later, netizens suddenly discovered that a once-famous author who had disappeared for a long time and was almost forgotten by everyone had opened a new book.

This author is a combination. One of them was originally a novel author. He was once valued by the porter master and published a physical book. The work was even adapted into an animated film.

Although the other painter is a newcomer, his painting style is the one closest to the style of Master Porter in the eyes of readers.

I don’t know why, but the last book they collaborated on was suddenly discontinued. It was a very famous and very popular book in the magical girl genre among all the porter masters who followed suit.

Some people speculate that there may be a contradiction in the combination.

After all, if the book becomes popular, there will be more money. The issue of profit distribution is a problem that every combination must face.

Looking at the entertainment industry around the world, there are many famous groups that broke up and disappeared due to these problems or personal conflicts.

But after so long, just when everyone thought the group had disbanded, this ID opened a book again!

Moreover, as soon as this book appeared, it quickly occupied the first place in various click lists, popularity lists, and recommendation lists. Even several works of Porter cannot compete with it.

It is simply impossible for the two to reach this level based on their past popularity. Even if Porter himself opens a new book, he may not be able to squeeze out the few super popular works on his list.

Everything I can achieve today is due to the name of this book, even if I don't like this combination. Or even people who don’t know this combination at all will click on it involuntarily when they see the name of this book.

The name of this book is "Porter Comics Classroom".

Although some people have drawn some stories related to comics. For example, Ye Xiaoyu's "The Heavenly Girl Porter" is one of the popular works known for its humor.

But those are all telling stories, and this comic, just like its name, is a comic that tells comics. And it is narrated by the porter himself - although the author is someone else, it was serialized in Tianman and recommended by the porter. There is no doubt about the authenticity of this comic.

He Chen taught comics to his assistants and students at Yenching University. However, since they all have a certain foundation, He Chen did not go into details on the basics. The content of his lectures was more focused on deeper stories of comic creation.

And He Feifei and Zhuo Ning'er are still young.

Although he has been reading comics, he has not systematically studied the aspects of painting and story presentation, so He Chen taught the two of them from the most basic level - in this aspect, they have been drawing for so long. He Chen. I finally got some insights.

He Chen was very attentive to the cultivation of the two of them. The lectures were not just finished, they had to absorb as much as possible, so He Chen assigned them an after-school homework: describe the content of his lectures in the form of comics.

This is not just about drawing out class notes. He Chen emphasized "in the form of comics", and He Chen has always said that the most important thing about comics is that they are interesting, how to transform an ordinary lecture. Being interesting makes readers feel that this is what nurtures them.

The first is to develop their observation skills. Whether it’s stories or characters, there are endless sources of material in life, it just depends on whether you can discover it or not.

Here, He Chen's lecture is a story, and he and the women attending the lecture are the characters in the story.

But if we just draw each person according to their appearance, no matter how similar they are, will it leave a deep impression on the readers?

Cartoons are not sketches. What they pursue is not a superficial "likeness", but an inner "likeness" - it can be said to represent the characteristics of the character, and amplify, highlight or even transform it into an external object to show it to the reader. , leaving a very deep impression on readers at a glance.

For example, Ash's hat in "Pokemon" has to be turned to the back of the head before every battle. It is very impressive. When you see this hat, you can immediately think of Ash.

For example, in "eva", EVA Unit 1, Unit 0, Unit 2, Shinji's Walkman, Ling Boli's bandages, Ikari Gendo's glasses, Misato's cross and beer...

For example, the blue cat in "Doraemon"; Xiaolan's horn, Conan's glasses and voice-changing tie in "Conan"; Goku's martial arts uniform and Super Saiyan's golden afro in "Dragon Ball"; the first in "Gundam" There are three red colors of Char in this story; the white curly hair and new glasses in "Gintama"; Sakuragi's red hair in "Slam Dunk"; Ayu's angel schoolbag in ""; the girls in Gensokyo are countless... …

This first step is for He Feifei and Zhuo Ning'er to learn to discover the "highlights", and then use their imagination to express each person's "highlights" in a simple way, so that people can see them clearly at a glance.

The second is to cultivate their drawing skills. Although He Chen often said that drawing skills are not important, as long as a comic can make readers feel interesting.

Just like the writing style of a novel, if the story is boring, even if the writer is reborn and the writing is lavish, it can only be said to be a pile of words and empty words; but if the story is interesting, even very simple words can make the reader obsessed. Like drunkenness.

But if you can have excellent writing, it can make the interesting story even better. The same goes for comics.

If the two of them were just interested, their painting skills would be more than adequate. But if they really want to embark on this path, He Chen's standards will be completely different. These basic contents will be something that the two of them have to pay attention to, because He Chen will train them both according to the requirements of top cartoonists.

In this regard, it is natural to start from the most basic drawing. Before, they used digital tablets to draw comics directly, but to really learn to draw well, they have to use the pen themselves to experience it. The digital tablet is just a prop used to facilitate work. It is difficult to learn to draw with it.

As for He Chen, it was because He Chen had a problem that he could ignore the basics.

Drawing with a pen can also train the composition and layout of the two people. After all, paper does not have the "layers" and other functions of drawing software.

Although Zhuo Ning'er is the main writer of the script, she is allowed to learn to draw comics so that she can better know how to create characters, control the rhythm, and enhance expressiveness. Therefore, I also studied with He Feifei - He Chen's requirements for her painting skills were very low, as long as she could draw storyboards.

He Chen first asked them to draw it with a pen, and then draw it again with a digital tablet, so that they could feel the difference between the two more deeply.

Finally, comes the most important part - comics.

Whether it is to cultivate their observation skills or let them practice their drawing skills, it is all for the last part - comics.

This time, He Chen was extremely strict and did not give any hints. He only said "good" or "bad". As for what was "bad", He Chen kept silent and let them think for themselves. After teaching so much, if they couldn't even figure out what was "bad" about themselves, it would be a huge disappointment to He Chen.

Faced with He Chen's repeated denials, the two were not discouraged, and finally got He Chen's approval and created "Porter Comics Classroom".

While the two were learning from He Chen, they serialized the day's stories in the form of short stories.

This story tells the basics and is suitable for those who want to draw comics but don’t know where to learn. It may also inspire some creative inspiration for those who have already started drawing comics.

He Chen thought that there was no unified learning textbook in the comics industry, and the content he taught in college was too in-depth for beginners, so he conducted a review of "Porter Comics Classroom" created by his sister and Zhuo Ning'er under his professor. Recommended.

When his assistants saw it, they saw that this was simply the Bible of Enlightenment for comics, so they cried bitterly about the injustice of the world. The teacher did not tell them about it at first, leaving them to fumble for a long time, and they jointly recommended it.

As soon as the readers saw the porter's name, they all clicked in without hesitation.

For those who have been longing for comics for a long time, but have no way to learn, this book is simply a clear spring in the desert, turning them into a dry sponge, frantically sucking up the water.

And those who only like to read comics and have little interest in drawing comics are also attracted by the humorous storytelling techniques in comics.

Funny, and professional - that's what people say about this comic.

"I thought I had broken up with her partner when I looked back for a moment, but it turned out that she got the favor of the master and went to study with him!"

"It seems that there will be more important and good works to watch in the future! I hope the two of them will continue their efforts! Come on!"

Some former book friends congratulated He Feifei and Zhuo Ning'er.

Not long after, Yenching University sent an application to Tianman, hoping to print this comic and use it as a primary textbook for freshmen majoring in comics.

At this time, freshmen and sophomore students were still learning painting techniques, and they only started to study comics majors in their junior year.

The emergence of "Porter Comic Classroom" has greatly made up for the lack of primary content in comics.

This was naturally something that He Chen was happy to hear. He asked the two of them to draw what he taught them in class, and he also had this idea.

It has never been released before, firstly because I am too lazy to do it, and secondly, he is not very good at speaking.

Before telling his sister, he prepared for a period of time, reviewing the comics he had read and his feelings about the cartoonists he had heard about. Then he combined his feelings about copying comics and the experience he gained from the comics to summarize. A set of basic content that you can understand and guide beginners.

I just took this opportunity to make up for He Chen's gaps in basic comics education.

The busy animation festival was over and after a few days of rest, He Chen began to arrange work for Tianman in the second half of the year. (To be continued...)

ps: Hey...the 15-year serialization, Naruto is over, and the ending is finally not a mess.

It feels like Sasuke's daughter's personality and temperament are more like that of Koso. Is it true that as netizens imagined, Sasuke and Koso had a daughter, and then Sakura wanted to be a mother? (It’s so heartwarming!)

Finally, I want to say something, Neji died miserably.
