Qianwumei Also Wants To Be a Cartoonist

Chapter 313: "Thumbella" and "The Ugly Duckling"

As early as when An Yi told her brother the fairy tale "Daughter of the Sea", she happened to have completed most of the manga work at that time, and then she began to paint famous fairy tales such as "Daughter of the Sea" into A children’s picture book.

Her "Andersen Children's Picture Book" is of very high quality. After all, its original work is the fairy tale master Andersen. Although he does not exist in this world, he is an extremely famous Danish writer in another world. Also famous all over the world.

His most famous fairy tales are "Daughter of the Sea", "Little Tin Soldier", "Ice Queen", "Thumbella", "The Little Match Girl", "The Ugly Duckling" and "Red Shoes". Although the creative genre belongs to fairy tales, it contains rich philosophy of life.

The first volume of "Andersen Children's Picture Book" by Anyi contains three meticulously drawn stories-"Thumbelina", "Ugly Duckling" and "Daughter of the Sea".

If these three stories are narrated in words, they may not be tens of thousands of words, but it is not easy to turn them into picture book stories.

Although pictures are more expressive and more impactful than words, the energy and skills required for their creation are not something ordinary people can do casually.

It's like writing a diary, everyone knows it, there is no threshold, but it is more difficult to record life with painting.

It took An Yi just to paint these three fairy tales into a picture book story for a long time.

However, since she had a "digital screen" specially designed for her by Anritsu, her painting speed has been further improved. This is the power of high-tech. When most cartoonists are still hand-painting, some fashionable cartoonists only use the "digital tablet". Anyi has already used the "digital screen" a few years in advance. Maybe everyone would envy her for having such a good brother.

With the "digital screen", it is of course impossible for Anyi to give up hand-painting. After all, when creating artistic paintings, it is more sensible to use traditional brushes to hand-paint. However, those who do not need to pay too much attention to the artistry, but pay more attention to the storyline of comics and children's picture books Wait. Using the "digital screen" to draw, undoubtedly can greatly improve the efficiency of An Yi.

In the first volume of "Andersen Children's Picture Book", the more "cured" story of Hai's daughter is placed at the end. The first two stories are "Thumbella" and "Ugly Duckling" with very beautiful endings.

I always feel that this includes a certain kind of bad element of An Yi’s readers. Obviously the first two stories will make the children very happy to watch, but the last story suddenly makes people feel very sad...

This feeling of sweetness and bitterness. It will undoubtedly make people "cured". Impressed even more!

The general content of "Thumelina" is: there is an old woman who is very eager to have a beautiful child. The witch helped her realize this wish and gave her a beautiful and kind-hearted Thumbelina. But one day, Thumbelina was stolen by a toad. From then on, she embarked on a thrilling and dreamlike journey. During Thumbelina's journey, Toad and Mole both marry Thumbelina, but Thumb finally married the handsome king of the flower world. Finally lived a happy life.

This fairy tale is undoubtedly a fairy tale with a tortuous process but a happy ending. After people watched it, the mood naturally became happy. After all, no one wanted the beautiful Thumbelina to be tainted by toads and moles, and in the end she married the handsome King of Flowers very much in line with expectations. Fairy tales, of course, make people feel very comfortable after reading them.

"The Ugly Duckling" is an inspirational fairy tale full of positive energy, very classic, so it has been translated into many languages ​​and circulated widely. In another world, the fairy tale was also included in the junior middle school Chinese textbook.

Its story is probably the plot: a swan egg broke its shell in the ducks, but because this little swan was very ugly, not only was it not accepted by the ducks, it was pecked, excluded, and laughed, but it was also ridiculed by the chickens. The same is true in the group. It therefore feels very inferior, because it is so ugly that it has become the object of ridicule by all the chickens and ducks, and even its relatives have shunned it.

In desperation, the ugly duckling flew over the fence and escaped. Once, it encountered a hunting dog, but the hunting dog just smelled it, and did not catch it. It secretly rejoiced, "I'm so ugly that even hounds don't dare to bite me!" It rejoiced for its escape, and at the same time was disappointed that it was ugly.

After this, the ugly duckling encountered a lot of hardships.

Later, the yearning and pursuit of a better nature and a better life drove the ugly duckling to no longer rely on others to live. One day, three beautiful white swans swam from the shade of the tree all the way to it. The duckling recognized these beautiful animals, and felt an indescribable sadness in his heart. The duckling feels that he is going to swim to them ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It doesn't matter if they kill themselves, because it has a heart for beauty. But what did it see in the water? It was no longer the ugly duckling, but—a beautiful swan!

If you analyze this fairy tale from the point of view of online texts, you will find that it is simply a textbook-style "waste wood flow" opening. The opening is suppressed and ridiculed by various kinds, but at the end you find that you have the legendary blood, and then rise strongly. It’s just that the “face-slap” link is missing, because the white swan that can fly in the sky doesn’t have to worry about the group of chickens and ducks that can’t even fly. They can only look up at it in the sky. That beautiful figure.

Such a classic "shuangwen", of course, is loved by all readers, not to mention that it is particularly inspirational. It can educate children and tell them that as long as they have ideals and pursuits, and work hard for this goal, even if they are in Adversity does not matter, "gold always shines." The setbacks and pains in life are inevitable, and we can only face them firmly. Everyone will have a dream of their own. As long as they learn to establish life goals, in self-confidence and hard work, they will truly realize that they can become a "white swan" and realize their dreams like an ugly duckling.

Therefore, both "Thumbella" and "The Ugly Duckling" are really very classic fairy tales. After being turned into picture books under An Yi's brush, their appeal is stronger. It is said that they are children's picture books, but in fact they are adult readers. Will also watch with gusto.

However, because "Andersen" is a new vest, it is the vest that An Yi focuses on the field of children's picture books, and there is no publicity, so the publishing house conservatively printed only 50,000 copies for the first time, and put it on the market to try the water... (to be continued) .)
