The first time I heard that there was a face bump was "Dragon Ball", Akira Toriyama himself was also blunt, he would draw such a face, from the time of painting "Strange Doctor and The Robot Doll", the appearance of the person has been fixed. To the first part of "Dragon Ball" is still the style of the previous work, to the second part of "Dragon Ball" and later fighting, Goku's adventure story when he was a child is gone, the style of painting has become quite tough, but the face painted is still the face of the past. The Japanese national game "Dragon Quest" is looking for Akira Toriyama to do the human design, some new players complained that this full of dragon ball painting style, in fact, there is a game "Wheel of Time and Space" is also a person made by Akira Toriyama. Is it because the characters painted by Akira Toriyama are particularly good-looking? Only to find him, this benevolent people see the wisdom of the wise, some people do not accept this style, not necessarily the best at that time is indeed the hottest at that time, the fire all over the world comics, Europe and the United States are recognized, once you see the game with this style of painting once you want to try it?
From here, it can be seen that the diversity of the character's face shape has nothing to do with the success of the manga, so why only draw such a face shape, is it because Akira Toriyama is too lazy? Toriyama Akira is very serious and responsible for the manga business, and the finished manga we see is actually not the same as the original manuscript of "Dragon Ball", and it is necessary to seek the opinions of readers and make many modifications.
A face shape is because the workload of cartoonists to draw comics is very large, it is difficult to change after forming a style, the characters want to draw fine the most complex is the face, the difference in the size of all people's faces will not be too out of place, the position of the facial features is also a slight difference, coupled with the contours of high and low light and shade, it is a long time to draw a face like an art student, which is impossible for Zhou Geng comics. The tone has been set since Osamu Tezuka, and the manga is meant to be concise and brisk.
If you look at it more, you will find that basically every manga artist is like this, and now the long and popular "One Piece" is serialized, and the reader says that Oda will draw two women's faces, a Nami face and a Robin face, to put it bluntly, a face slightly changed, a girlish wind and a mature wind. Male character differences are mostly distinguished by strangeness.
"Detective Conan" in the most characters appeared in it, see more is not to find that many roles can only rely on hairstyles to distinguish, and even the heroine XiaoLan looks very similar to the role has two, a green child and a Mira princess, you know Aoyama Gangchang, for the new role of the new role is really no way.
Even "City Hunter", which is known for its high degree of picture quality, is said to have a thousand faces, because there are really thousands of people, Hojoji cares so much about details, and people whose hair is portrayed from the texture of their hair to the texture of their jackets are inevitably repeated due to too many character portrayals.
