Xiaojianjian, who realized the wish of the cartoonist, and then cooperated with people in “JUMP” to serialize several works, but after painting “Hikaru”, Xiaoyan gradually established his own style and improved his painting skills. A level. In the third interview, I focused on the many details of Xiao Yan’s writing, and explored the behind-the-scenes stories of the birth of beautiful manuscripts

When Xiao Yan and his people teamed up to create comics, the first to get a copy of the original teacher. According to him, in the painting “Hikaru”, after receiving the mirror of Mr. Putian, he will consider the expressions, actions, and related performances of the characters. In addition, there is a special set of attention to what kind of costumes should be worn by the characters

The teacher provided by Putian is just a sketch of the mirror. When I see it in the vine, I can see a child. However, Xiao Yan intends to shape Xiaoguang into a naughty and interesting boy in the comics, so he started with the overall color matching of the characters and designed a lively and energetic costume for Xiaoguang. The reason why the former bangs was highlighted, mainly wants to enhance the protagonist’s “JUMP sense”, and it is more attractive in dressing. However, the final decision made by the whole person of Fujimori was decided until very late. Therefore, for Xiaoxuan, the original idea of the person concerned is based on the personality of the character

“History of Chess” just opened the serial, the mirror is completely in accordance with the order of the original division of Putian teacher, really belongs to the part of Xiaoyan “implantation”, that is, Xiaoguang said “Would you eat bowl?” The signboard of Ramen will go home again. As a result, this unintentional addictive act seems to have been recognized by Mr. Putian. After receiving the split, Xiaoguang simply upgraded to “ramen control”

Another group teacher who has had several cooperations with Otaru is also very brilliant, and Xiao Yan will follow the original mirror. In case there is no coordination, I will only make some minor adjustments. Only. At the beginning of the series of “Death Note”, the group of mirrors did not dare to make their own claims. Because he thought that although it was indeed more convenient to draw according to his own ideas, perhaps the teacher of the big field would have such a deep meaning. When he was halfway through the painting, he gradually realized that even if he changed the composition of the big field, the teacher would not pursue it, and he would be bold enough to come

When asked about the “death” in the “Death Note”, the teacher replied, in the middle of the first sentence, when explaining the usage of the notes to the night god in the room, there is a gram The camera that ran out of the house, and then the camera that stopped on the pole, was added by Xiao Yan himself. The main reason here is to let the readers deepen the impression that “everyone can’t see the gram,” so that he can squat on the pole like a crow. Xiao Yan feels that this is very handsome, so when re-painting the mirror, it is natural to add such a grid

The large field teacher’s divided mirror, in the control of the rhythm interval and Xiao Yan is not a whole road, self-contained, unique style. For example, in the first sentence of “Death Note”, when describing the month and the squad, the small plaid with no lines is going back and forth, and it is definitely not like that. Otaru always loves to look for the sense of change in the picture, and thus rarely uses this same segmentation technique to continuously repeat the expression. Although he felt incredible when he dropped the pen, he also felt that the split design was suitable for this work. Moreover, Xiao Yan also found that the teacher’s split mirror switch is more “jumping” than his own step-by-step description of the style lens. Therefore, Xiao Yan’s own lens is always more and more trivial, and the number of grids is often more and more divided. There are many, and the mirrors of the original teachers, including Mr. Putian, are able to control the rhythm well when they advance, which is a big discovery for Xiao Yan

In Xiao Yan’s opinion, how the picture ends up depends on the split mirror. “The painting that the author wants to draw” is not the same thing as the painting that is conducive to the theme of the cartoon. Although in practice, it often comes out that “it is boring to copy the original mirrors!” “I want to draw a better picture!” and other ideas, but the consequences of “derailment” are often double-edged swords, or All are happy, or they are beaten back to redraw. Therefore, Xiao always has a dilemma between “showing the original appearance of the readers to the rules of the readers” and “dividing from the mirrors and exploring their new possibilities.”

In the stage of splitting the script, Xiao Yan usually takes a picture of the gourd, but once he officially hooks the line with a pen, he can’t help but “self-assertion.” Because, only when this node is reached, can we detect the pros and cons of the mirror, so Xiaoxuan will re-examine the arrangement of the lens and make adjustments in order. If the mirror itself has serious congenital defects, it can only be repeated.Got such a bad problem that he did not worry about, even the cartoonist himself was very helpless.The

“小畑流” original drawing procedure is roughly as follows

When making a manuscript, only a minimal outline is given, such as the outline of the clothes, the rough folds, and the like. After you have traced this part of the line with a waterbrush, wipe the paper with the eraser first, then hand it to the assistant to add the background. In this way, the original can be delivered to the assistant as soon as possible, so that the background work can be continuously advanced and the time for completing the draft can be shortened. The background part is behind, and the manuscript is returned to Otaru again. At this time, the cartoonist will increase or decrease the character on the basis of observing the overall balance of the picture until it is completed. This kind of drawing is based on the premise of efficiency priority, and the maintenance of the details is very easy to operate

Xiao’s comics have won the love of thousands of readers with their delicate and beautiful brushstrokes. The so-called paintings are like people. Most of the pictures are caused by nature. Of course, everything is good or bad. According to the artist, the painting seems to be naturally formed in an unconscious state. It may be surprising to say it. In fact, Xiao Yan’s heart is the creed of “minimalist is king”. But when he sees the blank space on the screen, he will reflexively want to fill in something. Xiao Yan’s self-deprecating, this kind of impulse of “deficient” must “complement”, plus his own “exquisite painting and fine painting” has nothing to do, it has become a magic spell that can not be rid of

The details of the screen processing, Xiao Yan often personally. For example, black-and-white highlights (black hair, black jackets, etc.), concentrated lines, and the like are usually given to the assistants to do the work, and the little ones usually do it themselves. If conditions permit, he can’t wait to get it all. Rationally, Xiao Yan also knows that the details of the characters and the accessories should be handed over to the assistant to paint. When he sees the picture of the semi-finished state, he will not be able to get rid of it anyway… Waiting for him to come back and find that he is already there. The strokes are drawn, and in the end, the assistants only help to draw a background

Even so, some backgrounds are even completed by Xiaoyan himself. For example, the first sentence of “Death Note”, Sakai Marunou suffered a car accident scene. According to Xiao Yan, the background of this page was originally handed to the assistant to paint. However, the scene of the rolling of the vehicle in the first draft was too shocking. When the editorial department stopped, when it was necessary to redraw, there was little time left for the deadline. So Xiao spent all day to get it. Such an important lens, Xiao Yan intended to paint, and thus can complete the work in the case of tight schedule, but he is very satisfied with his sense of accomplishment. In addition, Xiao Yan also took all the backgrounds of the Death Note in the Death Note, because he really wanted to draw, so he made an effort to reach his wish

As the representative of “Death Note”, the description of “death” in Xiaoxi’s comic works is unusually realistic. In his own words, the body is a subject worthy of portraying. Or rather, Xiao prefers a moment of stillness. The life that was still alive and kicking, became motionless at the moment when the soul was withdrawn, and became the existence of time that was fixed. The body no longer opposes gravity, and there is no “album” on the body. The body at this time is purely a bunch of “objects.”

Since it is a non-moving “object”, it can be described as “correctly and correctly” as a part of revealing the reincarnation of the heavens, plus the “death” itself is like a certain sense of ritual Like the illustration composition

Next, Xiao Yan talked about paintings that he is not good at, such as sports scenes. The tennis shot that appeared in “Death Note” belongs to the unfamiliar area of Xiaoyan, so it is a bit of a headache to see the splitter immediately. It is said that he originally wanted to draw a fencing, which made him once eager to try. By the way, Xiao Yan still doesn’t like to paint Japanese armor. On the one hand, because the parts are complicated and difficult to draw, and if you are not familiar with the Japanese human body structure, even if you draw it, it is not handsome enough, so the Western armor is more powerful and glamorous

The teacher’s choice of “do not like tennis, love painting fencing” is based on what criteria?

Xiao Yan explained that this is due to his own difficulty in feeling the dynamic picture of tennis, baseball, football and so on. On the contrary, there must be a lot of stylized standing postures and positions in the fencing confrontation, and the moves are also simple. The contrast between the “moving” when the sword is stabbed and the “quietness” when it is ready to go, contains an indescribable beauty, and every time I see it, I want to give it a try

After all, Xiao Yan is very interested in “XX Road” like “Knight Road” and “Wu Dao”. When painting “Platinum End” (the final Platinum, the original: the big game), the depiction of the bow is also very interesting for Xiao, the aim is to draw the bow to aim at the static beauty of that moment

Because of this heavy reason, Xiao Yan knows that he is not the material of sports comics. Although the play in the comics of the combat department is not his strength, the fighting in “The Edge of Tomorrow” has finally managed to cope with the expression of static painting. Otaru loves to draw a shot of a gun, mostly because of the moment of silence. Just like fencing, bowing, and karate, in the process of pursuing the pursuit of flowing and free, Xiaoyan is also working hard to become more and more beautiful. In “History of the Chess”, the handsome player’s action in the game also makes him paint with gusto
