Cartoonist: I am lucky that my hobby of drawing has turned into a job.

The Internet Valentine's Day on May 20 is another "Valentine's Day" that young couples value. In the eyes of the cartoonist "Zhiqian Comics", if the Internet Valentine's Day spontaneously started by netizens is compared to a color, she thinks it is pink, which is playful and not vulgar. For this reason, she recently launched two sets of "Couple Outfits" clothing material works on Touch Comics to help fans to freely carry out their own comic creation.

As of February this year, Zhiqian Comics has put nearly 10 sets of clothing materials on Chuman, making her a well-deserved prolific artist. In her opinion, personal creation is a very hard thing, and the reason why she can persist in drawing clothes is inseparable from the attention of all Chuman fans.

“Nothing is more important than having a hobby”

"There are definitely many people and things in life that will hinder what you insist on, but never give up. Nothing is more important than having a hobby." Zhiqian Comics said.

Zhiqian Manhua, who majored in animation design and production in college, is now a professional painter. She has loved painting since she was a child, and she often drew cartoon characters when she was young. But she really started to learn painting systematically when she was in the second year of high school. At that time, she was obsessed with animation. "The most impressive thing was that one time, I finished my homework at 11 o'clock in the evening, and I suddenly picked up a paintbrush and painted all night. I painted a poster for "BLEACH."

At Chuman, Zhiqian is particularly good at drawing ancient style and European fantasy clothing materials. Unlike other artists who start drawing immediately after getting a theme, Zhiqian will search for information online and learn about the relevant culture before creating. She will even look for a related movie and start creating after watching it.

"I am currently working in the animation industry. I am lucky that my hobbies and work are the same, and I am grateful that I can stick to what I like." Zhiqian Comics said.

“The fact that we can all get together at Chuman shows that we all love Chuman very much.”

Zhiqian Manhua first came into contact with Chuman in 2016. At that time, she didn't know how to upload her finished works to various platforms. She accidentally discovered that Chuman allows users to create their own works without even drawing them. Zhiqian Manhua was ecstatic and downloaded Chuman immediately.

In July 2019, Zhiqian Manga saw someone mentioning a costume material competition in the chat group. When she clicked on it and found that it was the first painter gathering competition held by Chuman, Zhiqian Manga was very excited. "It just so happened that I was starting a business and opening a comics studio, so I drew a set of costumes and submitted it with a try-it attitude. I didn't expect to be selected." It was this opportunity that Zhiqian Manga and her studio were signed by Chuman. They began to create costume materials on Chuman and were loved by many Chuman fans who also love comics creation.

"The fact that everyone can gather at Chuman shows that everyone loves Chuman very much. So, put aside all the unhappiness in life and enjoy what you love." She believes that creation is actually a process of enjoyment. When drawing, you can refer to more elements that fit the theme, so that the created products will have soul.

At present, Zhiqian Comics and her team are about to complete the "God" theme of the Chuman costume material work. She and her studio also want to challenge themselves to create more distinctive and story-telling costumes, combining more creative and interesting elements to give the costume materials soul.

"Nowadays, most of the friends on Chuman create their own stories and then buy a certain clothing material. I hope that our future clothing materials can subvert this and make everyone want to create a story for this clothing. Therefore, we must work harder to create better clothing material works!"
