The special characters I am talking about include not only Chinese characters, but also single-byte b, m, j, etc. To use special characters, the premise must be very appropriate Personally, I object to that kind of usage which is almost interesting. Not everything you want to express can find a special character to draw If the degree of relevance is not above 80%, then I would rather not use it. I would rather use these ordinary characters to draw Because special characters are much more eye-catching than ordinary characters Components that are not relevant enough will be amplified, making the whole blurry. It turns out that very few people use special characters. Since the ae203b patch added many characters to ae Maybe it’s too convenient to find characters There are a lot of misused words such as 巛彡ッ in the works. Regarding the fingers, it should depend on the current action to be drawn. The same hand, different movements, different shapes when viewed from different angles No two hands I've ever painted are the same. The possibility of using used characters again is extremely slim The more relevant a character is, the harder it is to use it again because the shape is so specific. The effect of applying mechanically is often bad A typical example in my impression is that there is a girl whose work uses ㏕ It ended up looking like the girl was making a f**k gesture About criticism and modification I've changed other people's stuff in the past, and then I realized it wasn't good. Modifications should still require the consent of the original author. If it's a comment, I'm afraid it's a different story Literary criticism should have a freer approach This is not a "guidance" at all. Everyone has their own opinions. The author also has the freedom to adopt or not adopt the suggestions made.
