My Cartoonist Strategy

"Good luck, I met a good editor." Shen Xin couldn't understand the girl's thoughts.

Yan Fu's brow moved a little, and she had been in contact with Shen Xin for so long. She heard Shen Xin praise her in front of others, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

"Her name is Ruan Ying. She once drew cartoons for a while, and she is now working as a professional assistant." Yan Wan's mouth lightly raised.

"Oh, hello." Shen Xin didn't expect Yan Wei to find a cartoonist, but also overjoyed.

If someone with experience comes to work as an assistant, his pressure will be much easier.

"Ruan Ying is now a professional assistant, and she needs other help for other serializations. Qiao Yu is also studying with other teachers. Within a week, they may not work here for some time," Yan Wei reminded.

"I know." Zheng Ke said in response.

Professional assistants like Ruan Ying are definitely expensive.Shen Xin now has a shortage of funds. It is better to hire two assistants to help, and wait for sufficient funds before considering other things.

In addition, Shen Xin also has his own careful thinking.

So far, he is still a student. Although he has more free time in the university, some important classes-such as the class teacher's classes-still have to go from time to time, otherwise, maybe he will be "hanged" when When the wind chimes.

"Well, I have some lessons to take. If I'm not here, you don't have to come over," Shen Xin suggested.

Qiao Yu and Ruan Ying nodded again and again, after discussion.

Finally, on Tuesday, Thursday afternoon and evening, Saturday and Sunday all day, two people will come to help.Considering that there are 55 pages in the first remarks, and the color man is still drawn, the progress will be much slower. Qiao Yu and Ruan Ying decide that they will work overtime in the evening of the last week.

"So, who of you is responsible for the background?" Shen Xin asked.

The background is the most complicated of all auxiliary work, and if you frequently change the person who draws the background, it will also cause the comic style to be inconsistent. Therefore, in general, the background will be handed over to one person to draw, as for the hook line and the effect line , Painted black, painted white, netted paper, and then handed over to others.

Ruan Ying glanced at Qiao Yu and found that he did not want to draw the background, so he took the initiative.

Shen Xin's pressure has been reduced a lot. If Ruan Ying really wants to be a full-time assistant, then she should be good at all aspects of the assistant, and background drawing is a must for assistants.

For Ruan Ying, the background should be no problem.

"The manuscripts with black and white screens are already lined up. I need to mark the places where I need to blacken them or order paper on the Internet. The rest of the work will temporarily ask you." Shen Xin returned to the desk and picked up The drawn line draft was handed over to Ruan Ying and Qiao Yu, "Please two."

The line draft has been inked, and in the blank space, Shen Xin also left a mark with a blue pencil.

Generally speaking, the blue pencil is used to write on the manuscript paper, unless it is applied too hard, it will not be printed. For this reason, the cartoonist will not use the eraser after marking with the blue pencil.

Shen Xin also gave a simple explanation of what marks are used for the types of blackened, whited and dot paper.

"It turns out that the teacher's painter is so good. Is it really just a school student?" Ruan Ying saw the line draft and raised her eyebrows. "If I can draw such a line draft, I should be able to act as a cartoonist."

"It is not only people who paint well that can be cartoonists." Shen Xin said with a smile.

"Also...but I haven't been able to find a good script." Ruan Ying looked sorry.

After seeing Shen Xin's line draft, Qiao Yu's heart also changed a lot.

He originally thought that the reason why Shen Xin was able to submit articles was based on stories.Seeing the line draft now, I suddenly found that the editor's fancy might be Shen Xin's painter.

As a professional assistant, Ruan Ying

Shen Xin handed the background photos to Ruan Ying, and the two turned around to their desks.

"How is the progress of the color page?" Yan Wei saw Shen Xin returning to his seat and came over.

"I started drawing and painting yesterday, so only two pages were completed." Shen Xin picked up a black marker and said softly.

Originally, Shen Xin planned to use watercolor, but after drawing a page, he found it too cumbersome to paint with watercolors, and it took a long time to wait for the colors to dry, so he went to the store and bought a set of markers.Of course, in terms of price, markers are also more expensive than watercolor.

Fortunately, it's not necessary to use a marker pen for anything.

If it wasn't for the first words, he had the head-up color page, he wouldn't be so troublesome.

When Yan Wei heard that Shen Xin had already drawn two colored manuscripts, she couldn't wait to find them.

The color pages painted by Shen Xin are actually two portraits of Yizhi.

Because it is a close-up of the character, the hand is more elaborate and more time-consuming.

First of all, in order to highlight the authenticity, Shen Xin took the character drawing very seriously. On the first page, almost all the patterns of sweaters worn by Yi Zhi were drawn.Whether it is the character's background, or the character's appearance, skin, is a more realistic style.

On the second page, lying flat on the sofa, the marks left by the stretching of the muscles, including the folds on the sofa, were expressed by Shen Xin in different shades of color.The connection between bathing suits and swimming trunks and the skin, and the elasticity of the muscles, are also reflected in Shen Xin's brush.

Unlike the gorgeousness of Chen Zijiao's pen, Shen Xin's color pages are more realistic, matching the style of the entire comic to complement each other.

"Pretty... If I didn't know in advance that this was a comic, I thought it was a real photo?" Yan Wei felt his hand shaking with the original manuscript.

Shen Xin, it should be... No, it must be the most gifted of all cartoonists she has come into contact with.

"I can't have all the color pages at this level, otherwise, the speed can't catch up, and the color pages behind have grids, and I can't paint so delicately." Shen Xin stretched out and explained.

"Relax, although I am not a cartoonist, but I also know these things... Now imagine that the three photos after the catalog, readers can definitely feel this strong impact." Yan Wei put the color pages back on the desktop , "I hope to receive your good news in the near future."

"Not three weeks..."

"It's two weeks, I have to get the manuscript in advance."

In order to avoid opening the skylights, Yan Fan strictly controlled the time.

"Got it." Shen Xin pulled out a marker and began to color Yizhi's hair.

Yan Wei was also responsible for other authors. After spending a little time in the studio, he said goodbye to Shen Xin. The entire studio immediately calmed down, leaving only the sound of rubbing the pen with the paper.

This atmosphere continued until noon, Qiao Yu and Ruan Ying went to lunch, and Shen Xin stopped drawing after drawing the third page of color manuscript.

The most difficult to draw is these three photos. Although the remaining drafts are also color drafts, compared with these three pages, the difficulty is reduced a lot and the speed will be faster.

Shen Xin stretched out, stood up from the seat, came to the workbenches of Qiao Yu and Ruan Ying, glanced at the paintings processed by the two, and immediately became interested.
