Chapter 445: Encountering Difficulties
Kang Bo has painted many works independently and also painted many works for others, but there has never been any work like this.
In the document sent by Teacher Xiaoke, only two characters were introduced.
Father: Bald, bearded, childlike, kind, kind, and humorous, he is both the child's father and his child's friend.
Son: A naughty son with a spiky head, naughty, smart and cute.
【That's enough now】
【Fascinating book】
【Muddle through】
【Rabbit making movies】
...
The whole book is very short and there is not a single line of dialogue.
Each short story has a one-sentence introduction. This sentence is to be written on the page of the story. The remaining parts in brackets are Teacher Xiaoke’s requirements for this short story. Kangbo can read every word of these requirements.
I understand, but I feel that these words are connected together and I can’t understand them.
Kangbo thinks he has very strong reading ability, and usually he already has a picture in his mind when reading, but this time he didn't have any ideas.
Because in the character introduction, he could not think of a beautiful face, handsome and distinctive outline and facial features. In previous works, beautiful and distinctive character settings can attract readers to watch. Whether the story is good or not determines the readers.
After reading it, will you want to continue reading it? But the quality of the painting style determines whether a reader will pick up the book and read it. Some comics have a harsh style of painting, and the reader will pick it up and put it down after just one glance. Absolutely not
I will read it patiently for a while, let alone buy it back.
It doesn’t matter if he has a beard or his father’s identity, he still has a bald head and messy eyebrows.
The strange thing is that Kang Bo has no idea and doesn't know how to draw character settings, but he can feel the happiness of father and son from the simplest words.
That kind of happiness seems to be around me, just like a father and son seen on the street.
They are having fun and recording every bit of their lives.
The three roommates gave up completely. They couldn't give Kang Bo any advice and simply went back to bed and lay down.
Kang Bo was also at a loss, until late in the evening, the phone rang.
On the screen is the name of the primary school teacher.
Kang Bo hesitated and answered the phone.
Throughout the afternoon, not only Kang Bo was thinking, but Lin Yu was also thinking.
He guessed that college students like Kang Bo were still children themselves and did not experience the daily interactions between fathers and children.
Moreover, the theme of this comic is completely different from the works they have drawn before, and the character settings are not easy to grasp.
Lin Yu had a complete picture concept in his mind, and he spent this afternoon drawing character settings.
He didn't have time to draw a whole work, but once the character settings and painting style were revealed, it became much easier for Kangbo and the others to create.
Kang Bo said guiltily, "We didn't draw it."
Without explaining much of the reason, Kang Bo admitted that he had not drawn it.
"It doesn't matter, I drew a few character settings, you just need to follow this setting and painting style." Lin Yu said calmly.
Kang Bo opened the file and couldn't help but open his eyes.
The comics he came into contact with were different in style from the paintings in front of him, but the moment he saw the father and son, he materialized the plot he had just imagined in his mind.
It seemed that each little story came to life. He saw a father and son playing on the seesaw, reading, measuring their height, and doing things that seemed absurd but were actually heartwarming and humorous.
"Come on, come here and start working." Kang Bo shouted to several roommates.
Liu Xu was sleeping with his quilt covered. When he heard the call, he lazily opened the quilt and said, "Have you got an idea?"
Chen Yilong and Fang Xiaodong also jumped out of bed and came to Kangbo's computer.
Everyone had just read the story and faced the same problem. They didn't know how to start. They had never tried this style before. They gathered in front of the computer and the three of them looked at the character design pictures sent by Lin Yu.
"I'll go~ Hiroko, did you come up with this?"
"Okay, isn't it done?"
"Although these two people don't look pretty, it feels like the story suddenly comes alive."
Kang Bo felt a little proud when he heard that his three roommates had the same reaction as he did when he saw the character design for the first time.
"This was not drawn by me, but by Teacher Xiaoke." Kang Bo said with a smile.
The three roommates all widened their eyes in surprise.
"Teacher Xiaoke is awesome."
"This work seems to be the picture in Teacher Xiaoke's mind, so the character settings drawn are the most appropriate."
"I didn't expect Teacher Xiaoke to be capable in this area. We have to work hard to avoid losing our jobs one day."
The four people looked at each other and smiled.
Langbo quickly drew the first short story. Four pictures, one sentence, and a story came to life.
"This work can be completed by one person, we don't need it," Liu Xu said with a smile.
"It's really too simple. There is no need for separate shots or anything like that. One sentence accompanies four pictures, and the rest is all up to the reader's own imagination."
"But have you found it? It's quite interesting. I feel very friendly. I also want to read the following story."
The three roommates commented on the manuscript that Kang Bo quickly drew.
"I won't draw anymore. If you want to see it, please help me." Kang Bo shouted.
The roommates waited obediently for Kang Bo's instructions.
It is true that this comic is too simple. To be precise, it should be this set of comic strips, because the standard given by Teacher Xiaoke is that even people who cannot read can understand it.
There are also very few words in the comic, but it is not like there are no words. If you meet someone who is completely illiterate, you may be able to understand the outline, but it is a bit difficult to fully understand the ups and downs of the story.
But "Fathers and Sons" does not require words. Each story has a topic in one sentence, and the entire work cannot have one sentence of dialogue.
This kind of request is something Kangbo has never encountered before, but he finds it very challenging and interesting.
Kang Bo still does the base composition, and others are responsible for coloring, edge edges, and handling small details.
The four of them got busy.
Before I knew it, six hours had passed, it was already late at night, and I had already finished half of the painting.
"Bozi, do you think our words can sell this?" Fang Xiaodong said with some worry.
Liu Xiang said, "Although the sales volume has nothing to do with our salary, I still hope that the works painted by the four of us brothers can sell well, but I feel that the style of this work is too different.
, what if I can’t sell it?”
Kang Bo admired the work he had just finished, and burst into laughter from time to time. There was no dialogue in the whole text, but he just felt that the father and son were very interesting, full of fatherly love, and the warm and happy picture was beyond words.
"Don't worry, we have to believe in you, Teacher Xiaoke, and believe in ourselves."
The three roommates nodded.
"That's it for today. Let's rest. We'll work hard tomorrow and try to get it to Teacher Xiaoke as soon as possible. Once the book is released, won't we know whether it sells well and whether everyone likes it? There's no point in worrying about it."
Kangbo is also worried that this kind of comic, which is completely different from "Slam Dunk", will not sell well, but he believes that Mr. Xiaoke, at least he himself likes these short stories.
Chapter completed!
