I don't think there are that many readers who usually read manga and are conscious of "panel division". I wasn't taught by anyone, and I was able to follow the story with my eyes and enjoy it as a series of flows. This is because the manga artist skillfully guides the viewer's line of sight, pays attention to the connection between each frame and the camera angle, and immerses the reader in the story. [Photo] A seemingly good manga, how does it change when you are conscious of "panel division"? A video demonstrating this clearly has been published on the YouTube channel of Mr. Pegasus Hyde, a former serial writer for the Weekly Shonen Manga magazine. Many of the videos on the channel are about finely corrected comics and illustrations sent by viewers from a professional's point of view. In addition to the easy-to-understand explanations, it is also a great attraction that people who do not draw by themselves can enjoy watching it because the advice is comfortable to make use of the person's strengths. The number of channel subscribers exceeds 150,000. The video released on February 12th was titled "[Professional Name 42] Weekly serialized cartoonists will teach you how to draw well ~Girls' comics with a nostalgic atmosphere~". Kurumi, who wants to be corrected this time, has posted her original manga on Instagram. Kurumi's problem is that it's "difficult to draw the background and the whole body". Mr. Pegasus Hyde checked Kurumi's manga and said, ``I think it's a picture from a while ago, but there are definitely people who like this kind of drawing. comment. Then he continued, "Just by looking at this page, you can grasp that 'something bad is happening.' I would like to explain how to improve it further." First of all, this manga seems to depict two men being chased by "hunters". I would like you to check the video for details, but Mr. Pegasus Hyde said, "What I noticed about the original illustration is that the panels are connected and cannot be seen. In the second panel (male) 2 "I don't even know what kind of place people are standing in." He added, "In the 4th frame, it's possible to see the man on the left grabbing the man on the right... but it's hard to tell because of the influence of the previous frame." Therefore, Mr. Pegasus Hyde finished the frame that conveys that the two men have escaped from the hunter clearly in the second frame, and that they are tired and have escaped to a room somewhere. ing. The beauty of this video series is that it doesn't just give advice, it shows it in action. In addition, the part where he said "I don't know who's hand" was corrected. By properly telling the man on the left that he was stretching, he showed that the man on the left had some sort of dissatisfaction with the man on the right. Furthermore, he points out that the original painting is flat. Certainly, I feel that the characters drawn by Mr. Pegasus Hyde are more three-dimensional. You can clearly see the scenes you draw, so you can clearly see how the adjustments were made, making it an excellent teaching material. In order to convey the story smoothly to the audience, whether it is a manga, a drama, or a movie, the division of frames and cuts is very important. If you watch Pegasus Hyde's video, you'll see how it can be much easier to read if you get it right. Be sure to check out the video not only for those who aspire to be manga artists, but also for those who want to see the "behind the scenes of entertainment".
