The choice between pictures and texts in "Sorrow"

I'm a half-hearted person, how can I put it...someone in college described it this way: "It's like a little bit of water, I touch each one, but I don't go deep." "Beginners" who are not specialized.

Although the euphemistic name is "broad interests", or "not enough concentration" and "not persistent enough", it should be more accurate to say: "I can't find a way to unify the whole."

My "pen" can be writing articles, like typing on a keyboard, weaving article after article with words, recording every moment of the moment. I'm currently learning how to make each "paragraph" have a theme and focus, which is a skill I need to hone if I'm too casual.

And "pen" can also be a "brush" that turns into drawing and animation, allowing me to outline lines, color, and arrange the white cloth into my own world. Although he spends more time staring blankly in a daze. I don't have to worry too much about writing, but when I draw a picture, the situation is even more serious. So I often go to observe others and draw some fanart pictures, otherwise I don't even know how to write the "first" draft.

I just remembered now that when I was still studying a long time ago, my drawings were used for research, and some people compared them with others and said that others drew better than me. Actually it doesn't matter. However-

One person was very excited and said, "It's impossible for someone like you to pull."

Another said, "You need to know yourself to this degree."

A lot of such voices filled me, which caused me to be deeply hurt. Later, my academic situation was also frustrated. I was in self-defeating. It was very painful to pick up a pen. Later, I was immersed in the world of online games, I went to Internet cafes after school, and then I stayed up late to play when I had a computer at home. For almost three years, I lived a time of abandonment, day and night, and the school almost dropped me from school.

But I have survived, and I have successfully obtained my graduation certificate and graduated at the same time with everyone. Standing at the long-awaited graduation ceremony, I can only say a miracle and thank God for blessings. (But after three years in high school, you're going to go to college for four years...and even more brutal.)

When I look back now, I think, " What's your problem with what I paint? I'll accept it if I'm good or bad. At least I like the feeling of the moment when I draw, isn't that enough? " Why do others keep asking Force me to admit how bad I am? Want me to recognize the reality? Are you still using other people's works to kill me?

How to compare, of course, there are people in this world who are better than me!

Why not compare yourself to who you were yesterday? Isn't that enough? !

Now I think this way, my current personality may directly start a war with my classmates at that time, if I want to say bullying, come here, a dead child in high school only knows these few tricks, anyway, it’s a big deal to transfer or not to study, change to home After self-taught, I will no longer maintain a polite smile and continue to endure it anyway.

Hey~ Really, it's been a long time, and now I suddenly remember these boring trivial things.

As a digression, I recently saw an animation master say on Twitter: "Nowadays young people are eager for an answer and a method, and they don't want to get an answer through their own participation in the process. I feel helpless about this. ”

My understanding is that because I am too eager to achieve "quick speed" and "efficiency", I don't want "hard work" and "hard work", and I want to "reach the goal easily", rather than the feeling of struggle of "spinning around". Although this kind of ghost-beating process is sometimes necessary, it is necessary to cultivate a kind of ability to break through problems and predicaments.

In previous eras, there was a kind of "craftsman" and "slow but realistic" spirit and perseverance.

Now it is a game world of "comparative style" and "quick and accurate".

The fusion of the two concepts and methods is a good choice for the development of a person.

Finally speaking of pens...I have one more.

That is, the "brush". I studied the outline of the brush for a while, which is very helpful for the lines. The "brush painting" always has a blank space, which makes people feel particularly immersed in it.

Well... this year, because of an accident, I drew a picture book, but it was to commemorate a friend, so I insisted on finishing that book. Although now it is of course a work with many shortcomings and flaws. But it was a kind of gratitude and commemoration for that friend.

That person once said, "Would you like to try picture books?" I didn't listen to it at the time because I wasn't interested.

Now I feel that the novel is also a little bit out of motivation, or else... try a more intense and diversified way? Like a little more brainstorming way to make writing less of an ascetic. In addition to writing, I also want to try some "design" and "short story" creations. I still try to make my creation more like a "game", so that I am happy and those who watch it can be happy too.

Whether it’s pictures or text, it’s just a carrier of my “mood”.

I just don't know how to adapt.

And my understanding of "graphics and text ratio" is like this:

More pictures, less text = "comic"?

Half and half of pictures and text = "picture book"?

More text, less pictures = "novel"?

Well, picture books are indeed a field that I seldom come into contact with. I still have more feelings about novels and comics. When studying a book before, it was said that a picture book presents a story on thirty-two pages. Because children can't concentrate for too long, they have to focus on one topic.

Some can even explain a complete story with only "hundred" words, which is really amazing.

So... I, who have half the "level" of text and pictures, can indeed consider taking a look at that friend's suggestion. This does not mean that I underestimate the picture book, because I have created it myself, and I know that the process is actually very torturous, and I want to die just from the draft. (laughs), so I won't post it here (disgraceful). It is only now that I feel that the attributes of picture books are quite in line with my "positioning". Then this foothold develops from this to both sides.

At that time, I also seemed to have self-publishing, although the process was really twists and turns, and it was killing me. Now that I read the latest " E-Book Publishing " article, in fact, most of the lesser-known e-books basically have very poor income, but the platforms other than Amazon are mentioned in it, and I feel more friendly to Chinese books, which makes I am super invincible.

The reason is very simple, Amazon can only use word if you are Chinese.

I was really pissed off at first...

Look at these pipes... well~ as a game, set goals, then play carefully and enjoy them ( • ̀ω•́ )

Anyway, it's enough to get better day by day d(`･∀･)bd(`･∀･)bd(`･∀･)b
