After a period of childhood, I was tirelessly studying. During my student life, I worked tirelessly. After graduation, Xiao Xiaojian from Beijing started from the cartoonist assistant and took a solid step toward the goal of “taking pictures for a living”. Huang Tian lived up to his heart. In 1989, Xiao finally realized his long-cherished wish to serialize comics in the weekly magazine JUMP

Xiao’s debut work “CYBORG Grandpa G” has a somewhat different design style. In his own words, in addition to trying to draw a picture of the gap between the machine and the old man, I want to give those who The readers who are unlikely to continue the frequency of the week are amazed, and this is enough for him to be happy

Xiao Yan revealed that he had tried to increase the body’s physical exposure, or simply made a completely transparent mech shell… unfortunately failed to do so. However, compared with these, it is the cartoonist who scratches the scalp. Every week, he has to follow the story to make the story down. It makes him realize that it is difficult to maintain the rhythm of the weekly serials on his own

By the way, the original page of “Grandpa G” is printed, and the metal sense of the trunk part of the character and the muscle of the head form an imbalance, giving a special appreciation. The choice of painting materials for the coloring of the small color pages is not the popular Copic marker, but acrylic. It is said that he accidentally saw the display corner of the sale of the empty mountain-based paintings in the Kii National House in Shinjuku. It happened to be playing a video of the painter’s painting. Xiao Yan will stand in front of the screen and watch and remember. When he goes back, he will draw the color page according to this method.After

“Grandpa G”, Xiao Yujian painted a variety of serials. Because Otaru is very fond of the film “Sinbad” series of the late film special effects master Ray Harleyhausen, he is the king of his mind, the kind of magical works that create an atmosphere by brush strokes. So from 1991, Otaru began serializing “Devil’s Adventure Tan” (original: Izumi Fuji). However, people are not as good as days, and they were originally rushed to the magical works, “unfettered and playful”, and then they struggled because they were too far away

After trying the magical theme, Xiao Yan’s next serial was changed to challenge the new style of the windy reasoning comics “Yu Shi Zuo Jin” (original: written music). Xiao Yu did not have any dissatisfaction with Zuo Jin himself, but in that period he fell into deep inferiority because of his lack of personality in his style of painting. In order not to lose psychologically to other works in “JUMP”, Xiaoxuan deliberately added personal “features” when he wrote the pen, and was also influenced by many external influences. Now it is not worthwhile to think about it

So, why is the teacher who is striking in paintings inferior?

Seeing other cartoonists because of the characteristics of their own paintings, the reader can recognize them at a glance, but they can’t do it on their own, and the little ones who fall behind the people can’t help but secretly. According to his analysis, this is mostly due to the enthusiasm of the unwillingness to fall from a young age. It is like seeing a classmate who is better at painting than himself in the primary school. He will share his paintings with others and feel that the other party has won the award. Grasp the bigger. In terms of painting style, Xiaoyan belongs to the type of neat and refreshing, and the composition of harmony and aesthetics is not clear about the specific meaning of the thought. In addition, Xiaoyan’s children don’t like to paint children’s fun, or full-fledged pictures. What he cares more about is whether the picture is completely symmetrical

As for why this kind of “quirk” will be formed, please refer to the previous interview. In short, this kind of preference makes Xiao Yan’s style of painting maintain a moderate period. Therefore, he always felt that his style was incompatible with the swaying “JUMP department”

After spending the above-mentioned “tangled period”, Xiao Yu ushered in the serialization of one of the masterpieces “Hikaru” (original: Putian Yumi) in 1998. Xiao Yan regards this work, which has an extraordinary meaning for his future career, as a redemption for himself. The comics of “History of the Chess” were drawn by the original author Putian in advance, because the original mirror was too good, so that Xiao first experienced the so-called “fascinating long-range mirror” for the first time, and the talent for the teacher. Admired to the five bodies to vote. Xiao Yan believes that he has the innate “helper temperament”. In “Hidden Soul”, he jumped from the original cartoonist assistant to the “original assistant”, which can be found to maximize the control of the picture elements. Great location. Previously, Xiao was always confused and confused for his desire to paint and draw. At this moment, he suddenly realized that the “assistant” was his own vocation. During his time as an assistant, he cooperated with the teacher’s style to assist in the refinement. It is your strength!

The great success of “Hikaru” has surprised many readers, and the comics of the Go theme can be so wonderful! It is said that compared to the competitive sports with fierce confrontation, the game of Go is very bland for “JUMP”. But perhaps because of the lack of “personality,” it is more in tune with Xiao Yan’s paintings. The straight lines of the checkerboard face and the straight lines of the pen and the uniform specifications of the chess pieces are placed in the same direction of the high-light… All such uniform regulation makes Xiao’s “symmetric complex” stretch and release. “Chess Soul” sold, finally let him find the right feeling. The “simple” style of painting that once made him feel inferior is also logically integrated with the original, and there is no need to force “adding oil and vinegar”. This confidence has been added. Xiao Yan’s paintings have become more and more smooth in the latter half of the serialization. Naturally, he has established his own style of painting and firmly wants to continue to move forward in the extension of this style

After the release of the “Death Note” (original: Dachang 鸫), compared to “Hikaru”, it does not fall. According to Xiao Yan’s recollection, after reading the original work, the premonition of winning the treasure made him unable to restrain his inner excitement and ecstasy. The image of the protagonist is set to be a beautiful and dignified student. When he comes up, he is in the middle of the bull’s eye. In addition to writing and realizing the story, it is a big gathering of death and a dead body and a detective, as well as a delicate and delicate distribution of black and white relaxation… From the beginning to the end, Xiao is eager to try

From the second half of “Hikaru”, he has stepped on the beat of the beat, and the paintings have become smoother and smoother. The efficient work of the work has made him innocent of “inferiority.” After the “Death Note” began to be serialized, the picture quality is back to a breakthrough, and each can surprise the readers. During that time, Otaru entered the ideal realm of what he wanted and where to play, so that today, when he looks back at the first words of “Death Note”, he will let his heart “self-worship”, and the lines of the picture are exceptionally clean and concise. At the beginning of the pen, the chest is well-founded, hesitating and hesitating without being starred

“Blue Dragon Lalu Omega Gulad” (original: Hiroshi Hirano) is a serial of another magical theme after “Devil’s Adventure Tan”. Otaru attributed the “cause” of intermittent episodes of itching to the magical subject to “the embarrassment of the free world.” Once the painting is opened, it is often overpowered by excessive free flying. Therefore, when creating a magical work, if there is no certain limit, or if you feel that you cannot control the world setting and related details, you will not know where to start. Therefore, Xiao Yan believes that to show true freedom, it is even more inseparable from the constraints imposed by regulations

“Blood Man” (original: Dachang) is a long piece after “Hikaru”. At first, Xiao Yan was only an “autobiographical subject, so he was able to draw a very realistic picture”, but later on, he found that the more and more lines he had, the more he used his words to consume most of his energy. As the story progressed, the lines became a major feature of the “Blood King”, so Xiaoxuan also pointed out the most important level when considering the composition of the picture. Despite the hard work of the actual operation, Xiao Yan also completed many experiments aimed at drawing comics, such as “what kind of configuration can accommodate all the lines” and “how to achieve the impact of the impact of the mirror.”

Although the “Blood Man” Zhong Xiaoying tried the changes of various styles with the protagonist, but also realized that he is not good at it. Thinking of the debut role is nothing more than a fictional character, only to shed a heart and abandon his own aesthetic painting, but still caused a lot of mental pressure. On the other hand, because this work is the theme of the old life of the cartoonist, through the “work” in the process of drawing, Xiao feels the suffocation of nowhere to escape. Throughout the serial period, Xiao Yan was exhausted by the unsuccessful tactics, so that the contents of the works were not really remembered. Therefore, it is obviously a comic book he personally created. Afterwards, the author himself read it and it feels fresh and interesting

Then there is the “Tomorrow’s Edge” serialized in “JUMP” (original: Sakura Yu, composition: Takeuchi, role original case: Abe Jijun). The reason why I took over the “Tomorrow’s Edge” and removed the original plot of the novel’s plot was also derived from Xiao’s longing for science fiction, so I decided to give it a try. What’s more, the “combat maneuvering armor” that appeared in the works is equivalent to the man’s ultimate dream, and Xiao Yan is willing to sit back and let go. In the original work, the composite armor only gave the impression of the auxiliary device. However, in the eyes of the younger brother who grew up in the 1980s, the robot animation was a good opportunity to burn the passion, so all the blood was poured into the design
