"Miko-chan, congratulations on the housewarming!"

When Lin Shuichi came to Miko's house with Akemi and Reina, Miko was busy in the kitchen. And her new home is almost cleaned up by this time.

Because the apartment itself has been decorated very well, Miko is not too picky in this regard, so the only thing Miko has to do is to buy furniture and appliances according to his preferences. And the belongings on the other side of the original residence, except for some of them who are going to move to the newly rented office, the rest of the royal princes do not plan to bring them. After all, does a new home also have a new atmosphere?

"I'm sorry, I haven't had time to buy kitchen utensils, so we can only eat beef hot pot at night, this is no problem for everyone!"

Yuzi asked Lin Xiuyi and the others slightly apologetically.

"No problem, then let's help too!"

Reina put down the gift in her hand and walked towards the kitchen with Akemi. I'm going to take over Miko's preparations.

To celebrate Miko's move to a new residence, Miko's mother sent fresh vegetables and beef from her hometown. In this case, there is nothing more suitable than a wagyu hot pot. However, in Lin Xiuyi's opinion, it is really a luxury to use those precious Matsusaka beef with the pattern of Dali City to make hot pot. But for Miko, there is no special feeling.

"Wow, Xiu Yijun actually bought the Galaxy Railway, is it the kind of wine that the owner of the store we often go to refuses to open?"

"Yes, but it's better to freeze it in the refrigerator now, the guy who sells wine told me that the right way to drink it is to freeze it to a texture similar to a smoothie! Thanks to you, we can just taste one bottle tonight, and the remaining two bottles, you can put them at home and in the office respectively, which is also a good luck!"

After listening to Lin Xiuyi's arrangement, Yuzi immediately nodded obediently. Recently, she has been busy with moving, and Lin Xiuyi happened to help her a lot. In addition, I have lived with Akemi and Reina for a while before, so we should also find a chance to get together.

Because it's still early for dinner, plus ice wine, it also takes a long time. So after dealing with the vegetables sent by Miko's mother from her hometown, everyone sat down at the kitchen table and chatted.

"Akemi-chan, this is for you!"

As she spoke, Miko took out a beautiful picture album from the outside drawer and handed it to Akemi, who opened it to find that it was actually her own portrait.

"Ah...... Thank you so much, Sister Miko, the painting is so good!"

Akemi took it in her hand and said to Miko lovingly. Miko was also very happy to see Akemi like it.,Although Miko's profession is a manga artist.,But it doesn't mean that she can only draw comics.,Occasionally use the people around her as models to practice your hands.,Sometimes it's quite interesting.。

After Akemi finished reading more than a dozen paintings in the album, Miko took the album again, and then signed her signature in the blank space of the cover. In this way, the album has become a valuable collection of manga artist Miko Fukuda. This is something that Miko's fans have always dreamed of!

"Miko...... Do you know how to sketch, I didn't expect that!"

Seeing the gift from the royal son, Lin Xiuyi said with some surprise.

"When I was a child, I loved to draw, so my mother once invited a special teacher to come back and teach me Western painting. But then I was attracted by my sister's collection of comics.,So slowly I took the cartoonist as my goal.。 However, after all, it is also something that has been practiced through hard work, so there are still some of them. ”

"Western paintings, yes? That should be difficult, right?"

Hearing that Yuzi mentioned Western paintings, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but ask with some concern.

"Well, it's really difficult, it's okay to sketch still life, but if it's people and landscapes, it's going to take a lot of effort. Just using a pencil to make a sketch,It's going to be revised countless times.,The first thing you have to pay attention to is the proportion problem in the picture.,Now think about it.,At that time, it was really hard.。 ”

Hearing that Yuzi introduced the creative process of Western paintings, Lin Xiuyi became more interested. So he then asked:

"Excuse me, is the sketch you just said the first step in creation?"

"Hmm?...... Hey, are you interested in Xiu Yikun?"

Seeing that Lin Xiuyi suddenly became interested, Yuzi couldn't help but feel a little surprised. In particular, Lin Xiuyi asked about the Western painting techniques she had not learned. This made Miko even more curious.

"Hmm...... Recently, I came across a commission, but I can't be sure if it's a case or not. It's a ...... related to a Western painting."

"Sounds interesting, can you tell me about it?"

Yuzi asked Lin Xiuyi with great interest.

"I'm afraid this won't work, but can you tell me how Western portraits are usually created?"

"Actually, I don't know much about it, after all, I gave up halfway through it. But the general step is to first draw a sketch with a pencil, which is an outline, and then move on to a detailed sketch with a pencil, something like what you call a sketch. If both of these steps go well, you can start coloring. I'm generally used to putting a light layer of undertones first. Then, starting from the part, I finished the work little by little......"

Miko roughly introduced Lin Xiuyi from memory. Speaking of which, Miko's family background is actually quite good, so he has the money to hire a special teacher to teach what he is interested in at a very young age. And Lin Xiuyi was not so lucky. Lin Shuyi, who had never been exposed to Western painting, could hardly imagine what the creative process of Western painting was like.

"It seems that it is not so easy for Sister Miko to become a manga artist, right?"

Seeing Lin Xiuyi and Miko talking about Western painting with great interest, Akemi, who had been snubbed for a while, couldn't help but say with some envy.

"I'm sorry, but the incident I've been investigating recently is related to Western painting, so when I heard Miko mention that he also studied Western painting, I couldn't help but ask. ”

"Akemi-chan, Shuichi-kun is the one who searched for a lesson, if he asks you anything, it must be related to a crime. What is there to be happy about such a thing?"

Hearing Miko say his own message,
