MTL - Manga Guidebook-Chapter 10 Contribute and point out
After get off work, Chen Zijun returned home.
On the table, there was a stack of drawings, Chen Zijun touched his own drawings and smiled.
"She and Her Cat"
He has already completed it. This is the first comic he has drawn in this world. Although it only has a short number of pages, it is still his own effort.
There is no dot paper, no see-through desk, no so-called G-pen, all Chen Zijun owns is the cheapest dip pen and pencil in the supermarket, which is purely hand-drawn.
He knew that he was far behind whether he was technical or otherwise, but Chen Zijun was very attentive, and every page had undergone countless revisions.
Limited by his own level, he cannot perform to the extreme, but he has paid the limit that Chen Zijun has reached now.
"Bangdang." Chen Zijun put the scraps in a cardboard box, which was completely full.
"Would you like to leave it to the editor to see if it can be published in the magazine?" Chen Zijun hesitated, but he was not willing to let himself appreciate the comics, but wanted to publish it.
Although there is a high probability of being beaten back, but what if? Chen Zijun thought about it and decided to give it a try. Anyway, there is no loss in this.
Thinking of it, I did it. Chen Zijun looked around on the Internet, and then searched whether the magazine had a newcomer award event to see if there was any need. Sure enough, I saw a suitable one.
Ximeng Magazine has launched a newcomer award, the Ximeng Award. As long as it is a short comic, newcomer can submit it on its own, and the editor will review it. The top three short comics can be serialized in the magazine, not limited to the subject matter.
And won a lot of money.
Gold Prize: 3,000 yuan.
Silver Award: 2,500 yuan.
Bronze Award: 1,000 yuan.
Chen Zijun chose a small magazine, and it was precisely because he was small that he could win the award, but Chen Zijun, who was big, did not consider it.
All Chen Zijun thought about was just to try it out. If it didn't work out, he would just pay more than ten yuan for postage. The award is very good, and it's okay if you don't get it.
There are generally two ways to publish comics. One is to go to the magazine to recommend yourself, and the other is to see if the magazine has any newcomer award activities. You can participate, basically once a year.
But that was before, and now the Internet is also developed, and it can also be sent to the mailbox of the magazine.
Chen Zijun chose the Newcomer Award. As for self-recommendation, forget it. There are many reasons.
Chen Zijun went downstairs and put the drawing in the mailbox, ready to send it out.
Next, all you have to do is wait for a response.

Ximeng Magazine is located here in Chiba County. This morning, the weather was very sunny. Gong Shaoyuan also took over the various works submitted to the magazine as usual. He is a new editor and is responsible for this work every day.
"A lot."
Seeing so many works, Gong Shaoyuan sighed: "I hope to find some good works today."
Because the current comics market is too large, there are countless people who want to become comics artists. Therefore, even a small magazine such as Ximeng Magazine can receive a large number of works every day, but, There are many works, but few are of good quality.
It is the job of an editor like Gong Shaoyuan to filter them out.
"Is this drawing a stickman? No matter how the newcomer draws it, it's too bad."
"Is this a primary school student's graffiti?"
"My God, this plot."
As Gong Shaoyuan, who has read many comics works, he originally thought that this job would allow him to read his favorite comics to the fullest, but the blow of reality hit him hard.
Because it's uneven, it's not that there are normal ones, but it's like the golden sand is hidden in the sand, so he has to choose a little bit, but he can't do anything about it. This is very uncomfortable.
"Hey, this one." Gong Shaoyuan flipped to a comic, saw the name on it, and couldn't help but say, "She and her cat."
Because on the cover, there is a girl leaning on the window sill alone and looking at the distant figure, and there is only a cat beside her, staring at the girl's figure, a feeling of loneliness and wandering comes out spontaneously.
Gong Shaoyuan flipped through it for a while. He didn't read the plot. The first thing he saw was the style of painting. After reading it all, he had a little understanding. The technology of this comic is not top-notch. That's good, but compared to the works Gong Shaoyuan had just read, it became a bright moon in the dark night.
The technique of this book is not bad, because the perspective and mirroring are also accurate, but there is not much highlight, and there are some flaws, but this is a newcomer award after all, and it must be submitted by newcomers.
"Okay, let's see how the plot goes. If the plot is better, you can report it." Gong Shaoyuan opened it again and read it thoroughly.
This is the autobiography of a cat.
That incident happened on a rainy day in early spring, so her hair and my body were soaked. The surrounding scene was all enveloped by the smell of rain.
He is a cat, an ordinary black stray cat. He was brought home by the hostess' mother on a rainy day. In the bright room, he was ignorant and curious when he first saw her.
He was named Dahl, and she was eight years old this year.
This is the first episode of "His and Her Acquaintance".
Although it is a short comic, it is still divided by Chen Zijun into "The Acquaintance of Her and Him", "The Room of Her and Her", "The Sky of Her and Her", and the last section "The End of Him and Her". UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
Although it looks like a lot, the number of pages in each section is very small, just like prose. The lines and dialogues in the comics are full of literary and artistic flavor.
This is the beginning of the sentence.
In a distant and unknown place, I have been looking for her traces. The reason I look for her is because she is also looking for me. The hearts of the two are always separated by a certain distance.
This is a slightly sad story. From the perspective of a cat, I tell this slightly sad story, as if telling it in human ears.
"She and Her Cat" has very few words, only four short words, but it touches people's hearts.
......
"It's very good, the plot and lines are a bit abusive." Gong Shaoyuan was not stingy with the words of praise in his heart. Although the artist is not very good, it is not too bad, and he can submit it.
The most important thing is that this comic touches my heart, and I feel a lot of emotion in my heart.
Gong Shaoyuan looked at the name of the comic.
April breeze.
"It's a very literary pseudonym, and the author must be a literary uncle with a sense of literature and art." Gong Shaoyuan sighed, but thinking that there are many beautiful lines in the comics, he didn't think much about it.
......
"Linyuan Park"
Chen Zijun came here after get off work as usual, and he could see Jiang Aixue.
Every time Jiang Aixue came to feed the cat Ju Xue, Chen Zijun just stood behind and watched silently for a while, saying nothing, only to watch her finish feeding before leaving slowly.
He didn't speak, nor did he intend to contact him.
It's just that Jiang Aixue can know Chen Zijun's eyes and figure, she knows all these.
