It's all his fault for being an artist!

Chapter 45 No, a familiar ID, "Preaching and Instructing".

"Look at those small eyes, who is this?"

Cheng Wang's first reaction was bewilderment. Sitting in front of the computer screen, he couldn't remember who had apologized to him.

Are you Japanese? Apologizing right away, showing your craftsmanship, red bean paste private Marseille.

However, there was a short essay below. Cheng Wang glanced at it casually and finally remembered that he not only posted his work, but also wanted to respond to the battle post.

I'm so sorry for causing you trouble. I know you draw incredibly well; none of the artists I know can compare to you.

That night, a lady I really admire shared in her fan group a commission she had made from you. It was for a character from a novel, and I've always wanted to draw one for her, but my skills aren't up to par, so she politely declined.

[I acted impulsively and got a little angry. I didn't get to draw the character I liked, and I mistakenly thought you stole my opportunity.]

I sincerely apologize and hope you can forgive me. I really want to draw as well as you.

"Oh my, this apology really gave me goosebumps. My old habit of feeling embarrassed for others is about to flare up."

Cheng Wang couldn't help but shiver and turned on the air conditioner to heat the room.

How so?

He believed the reason.

However, this apology always carries a sense of awkwardness, as if the person doesn't know they're wrong but is forced to apologize due to pressure.

Many artists and commissioners in the art world are not very mature, and their mentality is very similar to that of fanatical fans.

Because someone received a response from their own brother, while all the support they had carefully prepared was drowned out by the crowd's shouts, they felt jealous and made sour remarks.

Judging from his small eyes, he must be quite young and doesn't have much of a reputation within his small circle.

Looking at the works she posted on her own blog, they are far from being worthy of discussion or evaluation. It can only be described as painting out of interest.

It's not that I don't want to respond directly.

Cheng Wang genuinely believed that Xiao Yan was not significant enough to warrant his serious effort in engaging in conversation with her.

He typed on the keyboard and coldly replied with the word "no".

Open the post containing your portfolio.

There are many replies below, all tagging the observer and urging her to come out and confront them directly.

[Observer, I've already posted a rebuttal thread, where are you?]

I don't quite understand this artwork. Could you please ask Teacher Xiaoyan to analyze it for me again?

[Two master painters refuting my views will definitely be very enlightening, don't you think? Little Eyes Teacher.]

With a body of work to back you up, people will naturally come out to support you.

It must have been those sarcastic and sarcastic calls of "teacher" that ultimately made her feel so humiliated.

It seems that Xiao Yan has finally met her match this time. The underdog's rise to power drama didn't seem to give her enough luck to perform a complete climax.

Whether she can learn from her mistakes is none of her business. If her nature is hard to change, then others will naturally teach her how to be a better person.

But aside from those who instigated and provoked, Aite stood up for himself.

Some users seem genuinely curious about how this artwork was created and why it is so illogical yet full of tension.

"Huh, what's this ID...?"

Cheng Wang spotted a user with the name Ayanami and an avatar of Rei Ayanami, whose QQ account was exactly the same as Mu Ziling's.

[Ayanami: Hello teacher, I have many questions about this work. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to answer them? Everyone is curious about how to compose such a dynamic image.]

My feeling is that it likely utilized the principles of animation production, first imagining a set of preceding and following actions, then selecting a connection point from that set and exaggerating it.

If only major social networking sites had displayed user IPs in 2014, ushering in an era of massive online battles across the country.

Seeing that this user's IP address is located in Shanghai, the probability that she is Mu Ziling is probably much higher.

Cheng Wang only knew that Mu Ziling later became a well-known illustrator in the industry, publishing her works on the mainstream Pixiv platform.

At that time, she had already switched to using real-name registration to access the internet, which is different from now.

However, there is an even simpler way to make the judgment.

Cheng Wang went to Ayanami's personal homepage to view the works she had shared.

The homepage only has three or four pictures.

With just a quick glance, Cheng Wang already had a conclusion in his mind—

She is Mu Ziling.

The way you draw doesn't lie.

At least it can't fool Cheng Wang's eyes.

You can imitate or create art styles and learn from the works of masters.

However, many brushstroke details are gradually developed from the very beginning of learning to paint, so how can they be so easily corrected?

Mu Ziling's art style, like herself, is light and gentle, with a particular fondness for the misty, rainy effect of Jiangnan.

When depicting a person, the outline is intentionally chosen to be a colored gray, allowing the ambient color to encompass it.

Although her current level is clearly not on the same level as it will be more than ten years later, her handling techniques have not yet broken away from the academic style, and she lacks freehand expression and emotion.

But it is undoubtedly a carbon copy of those well-known works in the industry that I have in mind.

"What a cruel twist of fate! I never expected to run into her on the forum."

perhaps.

It would be more accurate to say that it is Mu Ziling, the young version of a top illustrator.

Compared to the praise of ordinary bystanders, she was able to keenly capture the personal style she wanted to express.

After a brief thought.

He typed on the keyboard, using a method that even passersby could understand, to officially define the unique drawing style.

Cheng Wang, who couldn't get the answers even from private chat with Xiao Yan, generously shared them with the entire forum.

[Wang: You're right, that's exactly right. Traditional 2D hand-drawn animation requires drawing frame by frame, with a minimum of 24 frames per second to maintain visual smoothness. The professional term for this is the persistence of vision.]

Early Disney animators proposed the 12 principles of animation, which are quite complex to explain in full. They can be simply understood as dividing each set of actions into three parts: before, during, and after.

[Preparing the posture beforehand, moving slowly during the action, controlling the rhythm, and afterwards, essentially presenting the expected result in the audience's mind, thus enhancing the credibility of the action.]

To achieve a similar effect to mine, one must select the point where the movement is most expansive between the events themselves and what follows, thus expressing the tension of stillness through movement and breaking the basic logic of art.

Cheng Wang did this not because the person conducting the discussion was most likely Mu Ziling.

The actual intention and personal style are somewhat similar.

He hopes that this explanation will help more potential followers who are interested in him understand why he paints in this way, thus creating a positive impression.

When they see the same effect again in the future, they can quickly associate it with themselves, which will help them accumulate reputation.

There's no need to worry about whether there will be imitators.

Whoever is more famous gets the item.

Young and inexperienced illustrators, lacking skill and experience, how could they possibly grasp the usage of a few words?

As for Ayanami, who is suspected to be Mu Ziling, Cheng Wang is somewhat looking forward to seeing if she can continue to reply and analyze the points that he did not make clear.

Having someone with whom you can share your interests and experiences is sometimes a more precious pleasure than the interests themselves.
