漫画の絵とは独自の流派を打ち立てる志

出版社に持ち込みを始めた頃、担当編集者さんに言われたことの中で一番抵抗があったのは絵柄の矯正
万人受けするようにして欲しい気持ちは分かる
でも有名な漫画家さんはみんな独自の絵柄で流派を持っている、だから当時の自分は絵柄を変えることに恐怖すら感じていた
その後自分の成長に限界を感じて、いろんな絵柄の模写をしてみた
その時に思ったのは「自分の絵柄とは髪の毛の寝癖みたいなもの」そう簡単になくなるモノではなかった
他流派の型を学び、自分の型に取り入れ、自分だけの奥義を編み出す
それからは漫画の絵の奥深さが分かって劣等感を感じなくなった
あなたの癖の強さはいずれ流派になる、その過程を楽しんで欲しい

@queeniechanhere manga just seems like something that takes forever to get good at and most don't have the patience

[desquolor @Desquolor]

Share your art
keep some of your art private

[desquolor @Desquolor]

Ways to like drawing even if you're bad at it:

Sync it to relaxation
Use music, ambience, or none
Do it more
Study what u need
Study things u want to
Do fanart only
Do projects
Set aside daily time
Use timers, don't use timers
Consume more media and have an opinion on taste

Videos like this are just so nasty. You don't prop up an artist you so-called like by lambasting their work with harsh insults. Especially considering how long it takes comic artists to learn and grow. It's really hard, honest work

[desquolor @Desquolor]

This kind of stuff is extremely necessary for the west to grow into the Manga space. People severely underestimate how important the editor to mangaka relationship is. for mangaka to flourish, you need proper feedback on how the story feels

Hey guys, for those that might be new to me, I'm an Australian currently living in Japan, trying to serialise a manga!

I'm sure there are some of you that are curious about it though, and I want to share what little knowledge I have. Is there anything you guys want to know?

[Você Sabia Anime / Hoss @VoceSabiaAnime]

Devido aos Acontecimentos recentes aonde a autora de Ganbare Nakamura-kun sofreu hate e deixou o twitter e outros autores falaram de "fãs" que querem influenciar nos mangás, o Anime Trends reviveu uma antiga fala do Tite Kubo, autor de Bleach.

Ele disse na época:

“Vou dizer isso porque há algumas pessoas que parecem não entender. O que os leitores têm não é o direito de mudar a história de uma obra. O que eles têm é o direito de escolher se vão lê-la ou não. Se você não gosta, então apenas pare de ler.

Se você tem talento para criar algo mais interessante que Bleach, então deveria imediatamente se tornar um mangaká. Se realmente for mais interessante, você definitivamente terá mais sucesso que Bleach.

Se você diz que não sabe desenhar, então trabalhe duro, torne-se editor e dê conselhos aos mangakás. Se você realmente tem talento, será bem-vindo em qualquer lugar.

Mas se você não tem talento, não se esforça e mesmo assim reclama daqueles que dão o seu melhor — se você é o tipo de pessoa que só atrapalha quem está trabalhando duro — então vá se esconder em algum lugar, mantenha os olhos fechados, a boca fechada e viva da chuva e da sujeira.”

@motimonnn Thanks for the recommendation :) cool work btw

@ROKUmanga40 Hihi!!

[desquolor @Desquolor]

@konataart you're so goood :D nice work

[Boichi @Boichi_Bo1]

I lay down and thought deeply, and eventually made a decision.
For the future of global manga—and for the future of Korean and Japanese manga—I decided to share my ideas and thoughts I have developed over the years, without asking for anything in return.
Someone has to love those who draw manga.
When I think about it myself, I believe I am a mangaka who has had an unusually wide range of experiences in this industry.
And I have spent a long time thinking about the future of manga around the world.
So I decided not to keep my ideas to myself, but to share them openly.
After that, I met many people to pass these ideas along.
I met people from Saudi Arabia, the United States, South Korea, and JICA.
And wow, I reached out to many countries.
I even met people I cannot speak about yet.
Of course, not everyone listened to me, accepted what I said, or responded positively.
But that didn’t matter.
I had decided to keep trying for a while.

I met many people and wrote a great number of emails.
I worked together with my friend Steve.
Because of these efforts, my main work—drawing manga, which requires intense focus—was significantly delayed.
I can’t continue like this much longer, but I wanted to bring these efforts to some kind of conclusion.
Not long ago, I met an extraordinary individual, and we spoke for 12 hours.
I believe this person is also someone making tremendous efforts for the manga industry.
To maintain my concentration during the discussion, I deliberately ate nothing and fasted the entire day.
Up until 30 minutes before the meeting, I was suffering from diarrhea. (No kidding!)
That was because I had already been in discussions the day before, and before that, I had spent two days preparing with Steve.
Until then, I had also been continuously working on my manga.
Will these efforts of mine have meaning?
Maybe Yes, maybe No.
But that is exactly why we call it a “dream.”
Dreamers and their dreams are certainly beautiful, but most of them fail.
That is what we call a dream.
And that is why so precious and we love them wholeheartedly.
Even if it has no meaning, we still strive.
Even if it never comes true, we keep moving forward.
That is what LOVE is.
And what I love most is drawing my manga.

The most precious people to me are my readers.
The ones I am most grateful to are my fans.
And those I rely on the most are the publishers who give me work.
And now I start on my deadlines.
From last Christmas until the end of this month, when the cherry blossoms begin to bloom here in Japan,
I believe I have spent about three months striving intensely for the future of global manga.
Now, it is time for me to return my full focus to creating manga.
As for the Morocco project, this is as far as I can go for now.

It is time for me to return to the work that humans have done for 50,000 years—or even earlier:
to draw, like those who once painted on the empty walls of caves.
Creation is not something every human does.
But it is one of the most human things we can do. 2/5
