Chapter 16: The Teacher

After the completion of the revised original painting cut number of the eighth episode of "Mr. Onigiri Superman", Yu Kamiya is still not out of his busy state. The time to modify the storyboard of the eighth episode is compressed from the construction period of the production of subsequent animation episodes, which makes the construction period of the animation production of "Mr. Onigiri Superman" compressed to the extreme.

As the second original painting, Yuu Kamiya's current job is to constantly receive the corrected original paintings delivered by other original artists in the original painting department.,During this period, there is not a single corrected original painting from Uehara Eizuki.,Excluding unexpected factors such as the superintendent asking for correction of the storyboard.,Uehara Eizuki's own strength will not draw a wrong original painting that needs to be corrected at all.。

During this period, the greatest pleasure of Yu Kamiya is to constantly absorb the different experience and skills of the original artists in the original painting department in the space of consciousness, experience the subtle differences of each original artist's original artwork, and think about the general impact of the nuances on the original painting, so as to exercise his original painting attainments.

After just half a month, Kamiya Yu's ability as the original artist cannot be said to be among the first-class, at least in the original painting of the animation "Mr. Onigiri Superman", no one will be more familiar with than Kamiya Yu, simply limited to the premise of this animation, Kamiya Yu's own ability performance has surpassed the original painting supervisor Uehara Ezuki.

Yu Kamiya is very dissatisfied with this, and even if you find the skills of drawing original paintings from the Internet in the previous world, they may not be applicable to the original painting creation of this world, after all, the Japanese anime in the previous world has reached its peak, and a series of painting techniques or professional equipment have been developed.

He felt that he had reached a certain bottleneck in the creation of original paintings, and the key to breaking through this bottleneck was the accumulation of experience and the grasp of the expressive strength of original paintings. After some careful consideration, in order to break through this bottleneck, Yu Kamiya found the most capable original artist he could contact at the moment, Uehara Ezuki.

Taking advantage of the lunch break, Yu Kamiya came to Uehara's office.

"Be Kamiya-kun's original art teacher? It's not impossible, but I'm not very good at teaching others, so all I can do is lay out some original painting topics for Kamiya-kun and give corresponding opinions. Sitting in an office chair, Uehara listened carefully to Yuu Kamiya's description of the bottleneck he was encountering, and after a little consideration, he agreed to his request to become his original art teacher.

Standing at the desk, Yu Kamiya was pleasantly surprised, and replied with an embarrassed face: "I'm very surprised that Uehara's predecessors can agree to this request, after all, I'm just a newcomer who has been in the industry for a year, and there is too much difference in status and experience compared to Uehara's predecessors in the original artist industry." "Yu Kamiya is not proud of the fact that he has the golden finger of consciousness space, and in his opinion, a concept artist like Uehara Eizuki, who has more than ten years of experience, is a person who is truly worthy of pride. He just started much higher than others, what is the difference between not making full use of these starting advantages and salted fish?

Uehara Eizuki smiled and shook her head: "Kamiya-kun despises himself too much, to be honest, the reason why I hesitate to agree to Kamiya-kun's request is because Kamiya-kun himself already has good experience and ability as an original artist, and there are not many things I can teach, which is likely to limit the development of Kamiya-kun's own ability." What I can do to become Kamiya-kun's original art teacher is not to teach, but to guide, and to just guide Kamiya-kun to call himself a teacher is too arrogant. ”

"At least for now, Uehara's predecessor's ability to draw is far superior to mine. There is an old Chinese saying that the master is the teacher, and the guidance of Uehara's predecessors in the original painting is what I expected, and it is also very useful to me, so there is nothing wrong with calling you a teacher. Kamiya Yu said solemnly.

――I don't object to the statement that I will surpass myself in the future, I really don't know if Kamiya-kun should say that he is proud or confident, or is he proud of himself?

Uehara felt a strange feeling in her heart, she was already at the pinnacle of the world's original artist industry, and she was almost certain about the possibility that Kamiya Yu would surpass her in the future. For half a month, after Yu Kamiya submitted the original painting to be corrected, she paid attention to the subtle changes in Yuu Kamiya's original painting every day, and almost every day she could feel the progress of Yuu Kamiya's ability in this area.

He mastered a technique that would take months to learn in just one day, and the original drawings revealed more and more incredible qualities. At this time, Uehara inevitably had an idea in her heart: "The identity of the second original painting restricts his expression and growth, and he belongs to the big stage of free creation of the original artist." ”

However, now that she is at a critical time in the production of "Mr. Onigiri Superman", it is not convenient for her to make personnel transfers.

Uehara Ezuki looked at Kamiya Yu with a smile and said, "I don't hate the title of teacher, I just hope that Kamiya-kun can call me that way in private, and it will be okay to keep the previous title in the company." ”

"So the teacher just agreed to my request?" Yu Kamiya smiled and happily responded.

In the next half month, in addition to completing the original drawings corrected by the original artists, Yu Kamiya also returned home to complete the original painting project laid out by Uehara Eizuki. The so-called problem is that Uehara Ezuki proposed the core elements of the original paintings, and Yu Kamiya used these core elements as the center to draw about one to five original paintings. After completion of the exhibition, Kamiya submitted it to Uehara for review, and Uehara will make the most professional and correct evaluation and revision of these original paintings.

In general, it is the same as homework, and the intensity of the original painting project is controlled to the extent that it does not affect Yuu Kamiya's daily rest.

I go to work during the day, and when I go home at night and finish my housework, I finish the tasks assigned by Uehara Ezuki, and I enter the consciousness space during sleep and spend three hours previewing the original painting creation of "Mr. Fantuan Superman", and three hours to consult the animation production elements on the last world network, not only stop at the original painting, but also have a skillful use of the animation plot, character setting, background music, etc. Since he has the starting advantage of consciousness space, then Kamiya Yu also has to make efforts to match it, his ideal is not only to simply want to copy the last world classic, but to become beyond Satoshi Kon, beyond Miyazaki, and even beyond the unshakable Tarzan in the Japanese animation industry - Osamu Tezuka.

For Yu Kamiya personally, these busy days are fulfilling and fun.
