Tsukasa Higashino didn't know Aoi Fujiwara, and their perception of themselves had changed slightly.

At this time, he was in his bedroom, drawing a draft storyboard of "The Lonely Gourmet".

The sense of surprise when I found a small shop on the street just now, the joy of discovering the food, the happiness of eating in my mouth...

These feelings are all drawn into a draft storyboard...

Inohatori Goro should be a middle-aged uncle, he looks quite calm on the outside, even a little calm, has his own paranoid pursuit of food, and is tired of dealing with interpersonal relationships...

Tsukasa Higashino substituted his own feelings into it, but he also did not forget to use a few long storyboards to express the feeling of Goro Inakashira on an empty stomach.

"I'm hungry." Goro Ininokashi, on the draft, mutters to himself after dealing with a difficult customer.

He raised his head, half opened his mouth, and looked at the empty Tokyo streets in front of him in confusion—

This is followed by an elongated storyboard next to the appropriate phonetic words.

Knock, knock, knock.

With these crisp sounds, the story in the comic enters the stage of visiting the store.

Yes.

The first half of "The Lonely Gourmet" Tsukasa Higashino intends to depict Goro Inokashi, who works hard and works hard for his life.

He felt exhausted after dealing with one strange and even somewhat silly customer after another.

The first half of this highlights Japanese-style black humor, which is enough to add interest to the story.

After all, even if you have the skill of 'drawing flavors and recognizing shapes', it will definitely be boring to draw all the food in the forty or fifty pages of the monthly magazine.

After the standard line 'I'm hungry', the story enters the second half, where Goro Inohue strolls through the streets of Japan in search of food.

In this way, a kind of TV series-like interpretation has been formed.

The final effect is also very good, and the performance effect of the comics alone is actually better than "Midnight Bell".

Tsukasa Higashino was very satisfied with this.

In addition, the original manuscript of the fourth episode of "Midnight Bell" is almost time to draw...

"It's okay, the night is still quite long."

Tsukasa Higashino muttered to himself.

The fourth episode of Midnight Bell is only twenty-one pages, Higashino can draw four to five pages of the original manuscript at night, and "The Lonely Gourmet" is delivered by the middle of next month, and every afternoon before going home to take one to two hours to do wood carving at school... Just squeeze it a little, and the time is completely fine.

Tsukasa Higashino was pleased with this arrangement.

And for some reason, he still has the feeling he used to have when he was in school and completed the homework assigned by his tutor.

"Persuading people to study medicine, the sky is thundering, persuading people to learn the law, a thousand cuts."

Higashino Tsukasa was inexplicably happy, he smiled happily, his subordinates kept moving, and he started working again.

I rejoice when I think of something glad to be happy.

The so-called men, probably that's it.

The days that followed were relatively smooth.

I went to class, carved after school, went home to cook, and after eating, I drew "Midnight Bell" and "Lonely Foodie" in my room.

It's busy, but it's fulfilling.

It is worth mentioning that the third episode of Tsukasa Higashino's "Midnight Bell" once again won the first praise rate on "Bad Cold".

The current ranking has become close to stable, after all, "Between the Dolls" had an OVA publicity bonus last month, but "Midnight Bell" couldn't beat it, and now Urashima Publishing House has begun to tilt promotional resources, not to mention.

In this way, at school, in the woodcarving room, and at home, Tsukasa Higashino fell into a cycle of three points and one line.

The day passed... The final announcement day of the Tokyo Youth Painting Festival is just around the corner.

......

As the official art education association, the Tokyo Youth Art Awards, organized by the Japan Art Education Association, are relatively formal.

The evaluation content is divided into the following four links.

The first is the selection and storage, that is, 1,500 oil paintings are selected from one or two thousand oil paintings to enter the primary selection process.

The so-called, in fact, is that the four judges lined up to take a rough look at the oil painting.

In other words, each of the four judges has four chances to be evaluated, and as long as one of the judges affirms it, the painting can stay for the next selection session.

When it comes to the screening process, it is estimated that there are only more than 500 works left.

And here, it begins to be a more detailed selection process.

The final 20 or so works were selected from these works to be used to participate in the final selection.

Roughly based on the number of students participating in Tokyo... The works that can reach this point can be said to be panning for sand from the waves, panning for gold after panning for sand, and then picking the one with the most gold content after panning for gold.

It's a bit of a stretch to say, but it's true.

And the lineup of the jury this time is quite luxurious.

Not only are there four active painters, but the most important thing is that there is also a highly respected lecturer at Muto no Art University, Yamauchi on the first floor.

He was nominated for the Minister of Education's Award.

Although he was not selected in the end, he can be regarded as the judge with the most gold content among the judges of this time.

At this time, the four judges were sitting at the small square table, their expressions were not serious, and two of them even had quite relaxed expressions.

After all, the Tokyo Youth Painting Awards are not a big competition for them, and at this time, they are judging the works of the student group.

The so-called student group is the things drawn by high school students, and the difference between them and their grades is too big, so you can basically see at a glance which is better or worse.

So there's nothing to worry about.

"I didn't expect that there would be such good seedlings participating in this competition."

On the first floor of Yamauchi, he looked at the impression painting in front of him with a harmonious mix of warm and cold colors, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

The sun floats in the air like a hot luminous object, the cold air is like a wave of water, and the brilliance of the setting sun is like the fog on the sea reflecting the fine particles in the air, everything seems so perfect and harmonious, leaving only a 'beautiful' impression.

"Tokyo Sunset: Impression." Looking at the title name in the lower right corner, the first floor of Yamauchi nodded with satisfaction.

The author's brushstrokes are very sophisticated, and the level of this painting alone is already beyond the level of many of his students.

But it is not excluded that this is an inspiration that the other party has been preparing for many months and finally came up with.

After all, the level of painting is never constant, but fluctuates slightly up and down.

But—

"This painting is really well painted. It's an excellent seedling, I vote for this painting, the gold reward standard. ”

That's right, even if there is a slight horizontal fluctuation up and down, it can't change the fact that this is an excellent painting, Yamauchi said with a simple hand raised.

This result did not surprise everyone, after all, they had also seen the painting "Tokyo Sunset Impression", and it was absolutely no problem to win the gold medal in the student group.

Now that the gold reward has been decided, the silver, bronze, and special rewards are even more uncontroversial.

After deciding one by one, they turned to look at the works on the other side.

The student group is just an appetizer.

The most important thing is the place they are looking at now -

Works of the adult group...

Start grading.
