My Cartoonist Strategy
Chapter 30 Xi Mumo's Little Secret
In the first episode, the background is moderately difficult, and the slightly more complicated scene is the school and Yigui's home.
For professional assistants, this level of background is not difficult, and many of the grids have a lot of blank space, and some scenes use dot paper to set off the atmosphere. From these aspects, the drawing of the scene is greatly simplified Too.
Even though it was not difficult, Ruan Ying was not lazy in drawing the background, and even exceeded Shen Xin’s expectations. In particular, the grasp of the sense of space, as well as the perspective of the architecture and the characters, were well handled.
I really deserve to be a professional assistant. If I can hire her as a full-time assistant, my pressure should be reduced a lot.
Of course, these are just casual thoughts by Shen Xin. He now owes tuition fees and has no extra money.
As for Qiao Yu...
Shen Xin came to Qiao Yu's workbench again and carefully read the manuscript he had processed.
In the first words, more dot paper is used.
Dotted paper is used in clothes, backgrounds, shadows, inner activities, and many other places, and Qiao Wei also reflects what he has learned in the comics school on the manuscript.
As for the level, Shen Xin can only say that it is okay, without rework.
The blackening and whitening are mainly on the hair. Compared with the dotted paper, Qiao Yu has a better level in this respect, and shows the gloss of the hair.
In the early stage of the first sentence, there are not many places where effect lines are used. Therefore, Shen Xin cannot see the level of effect lines he draws.But in the later part of the first remark, especially when Yi Gui was running with a stick and running around the boys in the enclosure training room, he would use a lot of effect lines. By that time, Qiao Yu’s overall strength should be seen. .
After reading the drafts of the two people, Shen Xin also has a general understanding of the level of the two people. From the current point of view, relying on them should be able to create this comic, and, with the passage of time, the skill of the two assistants The degree will be improved and the coordination will be more skillful, and the creation time of each word should be shorter.
Although the number of assistants is not large, Shen Xin is particularly optimistic about the prospect of "Y's".
On the first day, Qiao Yu and Ruan Ying were busy until nine o'clock before they left the studio. After drawing a color page, Shen Xin also put away his brush.
From the work place to home, take a half-hour subway.
Originally, Shen Xin thought that before drawing the first words, there were free rooms anyway, but Xi Mumo made protests, and he could not refute these protests.
"If you are allowed to live in the studio, it is estimated that three meals a day is instant noodles, and you don't know to pay attention to your body."
Although Shen Xin promised not to do so, Xi Mumo couldn't believe it. After all, she was only caught not long ago.
Of course, in addition to the reason for "noodles", there is another more important reason. He is also not worried about letting Xi Mumo live at home alone.
After arriving home, the room was dark. Shen Xin turned on the lights in the living room, and the hall was empty. However, Xi Mumo's room was still lit.
"I'm back." Shen Xin said to Xi Mumo's door.
"Oh!"
Xi Mumo's voice came from the room, followed by a burst of noise.It took about ten or twenty seconds before the door was opened, and Xi Mumo came out of the room.
Xi Mumo, wearing loose pajamas, came to Shen Xin with a hint of fragrance and should have just washed her hair.
"Brother Xin, wait a minute, I'll warm up the meal for you." Then, Xi Mumo was going to the kitchen.
"No, it's hot, and it's not bad to eat some cold rice. It's you, hurry into the house. It's so hot, and you'll sweat again later." Shen Xin waved his hand and took the lead into the kitchen, serving the rice and dishes. When he came out, Xi Mumo also poured him a glass of boiled water and placed it on the table.
Shen Xin glanced at Xi Mumo's hand and found that her hand was covered with ink.
"What's wrong with you?" Shen Xin puzzled.
"Hand?" Xi Mumo glanced down at his hand, subconsciously called out, and then suddenly remembered that Shen Xin was sitting next to him, and quickly put his hand behind him. "That... the pen was broken just now, so my hand I got some..."
"Really? You aren't practicing dip pens?" Shen Xin doubted.
"How is it possible? I don't even know what a dip pen is, how to practice?" Xi Mumo quickly shook his head and denied it.
"Just like that... learning is more important." Shen Xin urged.
Xi Mumo's results were excellent, and Shen Xin did not want her to spread her energy elsewhere.
The car accident one year ago had a great impact on Xi Mumo. It was said that it had changed her life, and it was not an exaggeration. Of course, if it was not the case, he would not have the chance to cross over.
Therefore, he also hopes that Xi Mumo can have a good future.
"Got it." Xi Mumo nodded again and again. "Brother Xin, if there is nothing wrong, I'll go back to the house first."
"Well, go quickly?" Shen Xin put the dishes on the rice and chopped the rice into his mouth.
Xi Mumo returned to his room, closed the door with his backhand, and patted his chest, "It's so dangerous, I was almost found... I was so careless."
Feeling a long time, Xi Mumo returned to the desk.
On the table is a page of used manuscript paper. In front of the manuscript paper is a bottle of ink with a brush on it.
After Xi Mumo sat down, the brush dipped in ink, carefully holding the brush, painted black ink along the line draft, and at the same time, controlled the strength of the pen to make the ink evenly spread in the outline of the figure.
She doesn't know how to paint, and she doesn't know how to paint the background, but learning to paint black, she thinks there is no problem.If you have more time, learn how to paste dotted paper.
Help Shen Xin as much as possible, this is her little secret.
Shen Xin went to the studio again the next morning and continued to draw the original.
Just after noon, Yan Wei called again to ask about the progress of the first words, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that she was proceeding in an orderly manner.
"What's wrong?" Xiaoli around her looked at Yan Wei.
"Nothing, waiting for Shen Xin's manuscript." Yan Fan said.
"Well, do you think Shen Xin can really fight "Shaky Fall"? It's already the fourth word. "Shaky Fall" is just not very good in the second word. The other three words are the first." Xiao Li mentioned " "Shaky" is a little bit excited.
Although this comic is the signature of the enemy magazine, as a comic lover, seeing such an excellent comic still makes Xiaoli feel a little moved.
"Don't you already read the name of "Y's"?" Xi Mumo wondered.
"Name is good-looking, and I also like the story of "Y's" better, but the magazine does not publish the name, but the manuscript. To be honest, I personally feel that Chen Zijiao's manuscript is of higher quality. The color of the first word in "Shaky Fall" The page is really beautiful, I haven't seen such a gorgeous color page for a long time." Xiao Li said seriously.
"Then I will tell you the truth, the original of "Y's" is definitely beyond your imagination." Yan Fan has some inexplicable confidence in Shen Xin.
"You said that, I'm still looking forward to the first words of "Y's"." Xiao Li rubbed her hands and looked like she was eager to try.
Just then, the editor-in-chief sitting at the innermost side of the editorial department suddenly said, "Li Jiming, you come."
A middle-aged editor's face changed, slowly stood up from his seat, took a deep breath, and bowed his head to the editor.
