It's all his fault for being an artist!

Chapter 46 is indeed true; it's a self-questioning and self-answering exercise, a case of wishf



Chapter 46 is indeed true; it's a self-questioning and self-answering exercise, a case of wishf

[Aya: Narumi, have you ever heard of the 12 principles of animation?]

I never expected this.

There was no reply on the forum, but Mu Ziling sent a pop-up message on QQ first.

This eliminates the guessing game and directly confirms the forum's name and the users' identities.

Cheng Wang was somewhat amused and exasperated by the twists of fate.

Should I tell the other person my identity?

After much deliberation, Cheng Wang decided to keep it a secret for the time being.

These kinds of private commissioned articles can easily touch on borderline content, since sexual content is a primary form of productivity.

If it doesn't involve nudity, but subtly suggests something visually, it won't be subject to any regulations.

Many anime-style mobile games attract attention by pushing the boundaries like this; those that can be hit by the iron fist are basically not ordinary.

He recalled having a professor during his university years who appeared very serious but was extremely strict with his students.

In reality, he's a seasoned veteran on Zhihu, directly criticizing others' works as "not erotic enough." After being exposed by students, he was immediately humiliated.

Given the mistakes made by those who came before, Cheng Wang insisted that they must not repeat the same errors.

At the very least, one must rise from the grassroots level to the official level, and only then can one reveal their true identity as a renowned expert in the industry.

[Wang: I've seen it in videos before, so I know a little about it.]

[Aya: Hmm, I'm sending you a picture. Can you take a look and see what you think?]

Not surprisingly.

My work appeared in the chat box as expected.

Cheng Wang felt no shame whatsoever and commented without any psychological burden.

[Wang: I've met a master! The use of color is incredibly innovative, and the overall composition seems to have a strong understanding. The expressiveness is as fluid as animation.]

He then deliberately added something afterward.

[Wang: If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the work of a well-known illustrator. Are you planning to learn this style of drawing? I don't think it's easy to replicate.]

[Aya: No, I really like this style; it has a kind of imagination that I've never quite grasped. But there's no need to replicate it, because I'd rather incorporate this technique into my own work.]

She has her own ideas, which Cheng Wang can easily understand. Becoming a top-notch illustrator is, at most, just a matter of time for her.

Cheng Wang then summarized his thoughts in his own words, based on the 12 principles of animation and some of the theories he could find online, and discussed them with Mu Ziling.

Not long after.

Mu Ziling then returned to the forum with the results of this discussion and responded professionally in a public setting with Cheng Wang.

A rather peculiar cycle was successfully established between the two of them!

Cheng Wang at the forum was more rigorous, using professional terminology to constantly analyze his own style and impart excellent experience that has become a model in the industry.

In private chats, Cheng Wang's conversations were clearly discussion-based, using seemingly half-baked insights to offer guidance to Mu Ziling.

Whenever the theoretical content became dry and obscure, he could always come up with a clever trick to make this rather advanced usage instantly easy to understand.

[Wang: I think the so-called expected effect may not be that complicated? For example, when a water droplet falls, it is affected by gravity. According to the general idea, it can be drawn as a point at the top and a circle at the bottom.]

If you want to emphasize the dynamics, you have to break away from conventional thinking and capture the exact moment the water droplets hit the ground. That is, focus on depicting the splash, sending the broken, tiny water droplets flying in a parabolic trajectory, and then include a bit of the part that has already fallen and spread out on the ground.

[This allows viewers to easily imagine that the water droplet will soon turn into a puddle on the ground. Is this roughly the intended effect of the principle?]

[Aya: Oh, I understand a little now. I'll try it next time.]

She seems to have a bit of a split personality, constantly asking and answering herself questions, with Mu Ziling acting as a bridge between them.

But apart from himself, how could the other onlookers on the forum have imagined such a coincidence?

The replies to the thread kept piling up, and the young artists who came to observe and learn were also adding their own comments.

I don't think this thread should be in the casual chat section; it's too technical. Although I only partially understood it, I still found it very interesting!

[I told you, you really can learn new things online! My parents didn't believe me. They said classes only teach the basics; the teacher wouldn't explain such unique drawing techniques!]

[What will our forum become...? If there are more discussions like this in the future, even if it's just daily drama and drama, I'd be happy.]

[Upstairs, you're eating and taking things, huh?]

【…】

Besides the fact that Cheng Wang's own post sparked a lot of discussion.

There were also many more indignant fans who firmly believed that Zuowangdao's strength was beyond question, and they started their own threads to fight and observe Xiaoyan.

—Fight, use your strength to shatter doubts! How could anyone think that Mrs. Zuowangdao's paintings are ugly? Eat more good food.

—Some aspiring artists with unrealistic ambitions should really settle down and study more. Even I, an art student, don't know so much professional knowledge.

—Hey, why did you delete the post? Since you think Master Zuowangdao's drawing is bad, and you've already shown the method, why don't you try drawing the same one yourself?

——…

Cheng Wang hadn't had time to witness these heroic battles yet, as he was currently engaged in a fierce struggle between his left and right hemispheres.

Mu Ziling listened with increasing enthusiasm, and he himself became more and more engrossed in his storytelling.

The feeling of speaking fluently and confidently in one's area of ​​expertise is just as exhilarating as creating a perfect work of art!

at the same time.

Following those battle posts, an unexpected new post appeared in the forum's casual chat section and was quickly discovered.

[Posted by: Observer Little Eye]

[Title: Apology Posted Outside the School, I'm Sorry to Teacher Zuowangdao!]

[Main Text: I am the one who started that battle thread. I apologize for disturbing everyone, including the artist. After deleting the post, I immediately contacted them privately, realized my mistake, and expressed my hope to learn from Mr. Zuowang.]

Although I know this request is very offensive and I certainly won't get it, I am still very grateful that Teacher Zuowangdao, through his replies to others, still conveyed to me the mistakes that were not forgiven in private chats without reservation.

From now on, I will reduce my casual posts on the forum and strive to learn the knowledge that you shared today. I hope that one day I can also create works that people love.

【Feel sorry!】

Cheng Wang also didn't see this post immediately.

However, among my QQ friends is this know-it-all, "Little Ice Coke Drinker".

Cheng Wang and Mu Ziling's chat was nearing its end when Kele appeared at the opportune moment and reposted the link.

[Cola: Teacher! Look quickly! It concerns you!]

What is that?

When he clicked on it out of curiosity, an indescribable feeling welled up inside him.

Not a guy... or a girl?

What does it mean to have something conveyed to you without reservation?

That's absolutely not true!

To this child with small eyes, your most urgent task should be to find a reliable art class and learn sketching properly, so that you can draw straight lines first.

Instead of indulging in wishful thinking here!
