The related painting skills required for designing comics,
such as storyboarding, props rendering, and character

the basic role dialogue is entered. The system compares the
role dialogue with CRPD and finds the similarity value of RX,
and then uses the decision tree[8] to predict the corresponding
comic role Possible reaction to the dialogue, and gradually find
out the roles with similar high dialogue, and then one by one to
compare these roles can be more similar to the whiteness of the
corresponding attributes such as age, gender, occupation, body
shape, or other related attributes (DT Classifier), and then
judge whether the accuracy training of each role dialogue
attribute analysis can be accepted. If the user agrees to accept,
the system will automatically match with the role dialogue
database and generate comic dialogue corresponding to this
comic role, If not accepted, the system will continue to search
for the corresponding comic role corresponding attributes and
then Continued dialogue on the role of dialogue and other
workflow(Figure 4).
