Five minutes have passed in the conference room.

But Gu Xue, who was holding the pencil, still felt that her head was blank, she took a deep breath, dropped the pencil, leaned back on the chair, and said to herself: "Don't draw anymore." ”

"What's wrong?" Miss Mihara, who had been watching her, stood up with her hands on the table, walked around behind Gu Xue, hesitated for a moment, mustered up the courage to put her hand on Gu Xue's shoulder, and pressed it gently.

"You've disturbed my mind." Gu Xue turned her head and glared at her.

Mihara Qiansha paused and said softly: "Then I'll go out for a while, and then come back later, and bring you something to drink." ”

With that, she was leaving.

"Eh......" Gu Xue had an expression of "I'll just talk about it, you're really leaving".

But Miss Mihara is really gone.

Gu Xue looked at the back that disappeared at the door, and sighed.

Although it was not to the point of disturbing the mind, the atmosphere between the two of them just now was indeed a little strange, mainly because the way Miss Mihara expressed her gratitude was too strange, and Gu Xue felt a little strange and uncomfortable.

After Miss Mihara left, Gu Xue's brain cooled down.

Although Miss Mihara's way of thanking her was very strange, Gu Xue was relieved to be sure that the other party was just awkward and had no other ideas.

Finally, I can get along with Miss Mihara with peace of mind, I can enjoy her beautiful photos with confidence, see her differently, have no scruples, and don't have to worry about other problems.

You can kiss and hug at any time...... Forget it if you lift it high, for fear of falling her.

This is probably Gu Xue's idea.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and I was a little happy.

Although Miss Sanyuan sensed Gu Xue's thoughts at a critical moment and told a small lie, she seemed to push Gu Xue farther away.

But this is not something Gu Xue should worry about.

After Mihara Qiansha left, Gu Xue began to organize her thoughts and prepare to continue drawing the original case.

The original project does not refer to the script, but to the initial setting or early story outline, because the story has not been recognized and really determined, but it is only for other creators to see and discuss, so there is no need to draw much better.

To put it another well-understood word, it is probably the original work, the script.

Because it was Gu Xue who proposed this story, she needed to make it clear to the creators what kind of story this was about, and after discussion, it might need to be changed.

For animation, you definitely need some formal script to draw the storyboard.

Gu Xue was the original painting, so Hiroshi Misawa asked her to draw it.

Similarly, there is also a saying about the original case of character design, such as manga and light change, generally the original character design is completed by a cartoonist or illustrator, and then the character design of the animation is changed to a character design suitable for animation painting, because the animation construction period is very tight, to minimize the lines, to put it bluntly, it is necessary to make it easier to draw, and improve and supplement all kinds of settings.

The characters of Kabaneri in the Iron City are beautiful, right? That's the credit of the original character Miki Haruki, and the character design of the animation also tries to retain and restore her style.

However, not all character designs are reductive, and there are some examples that are particularly stylized and will overhaul the character designs of the original case to the point that they don't even know their mother.

Of course, Gu Xue is not worried about others changing her characters, because she is responsible for character design, and the reason why she also calls the characters she painted the original case or the first draft is just because it has not been recognized and discussed with other creators, and maybe some details need to be revised.

As for what the character design is for...... In fact, it is the standard of the next project, after all, the original painting was not painted by Gu Xue alone, many people participated, and others may be biased because of the style, their own painting habits and other problems, the characters drawn will be deviated, give them a character design draft, refer to the character setting draft, this kind of problem will appear relatively rarely.

Of course, this is not necessarily 100% the same, so there is the position of painting supervisor, and one of the duties of the supervisor is to correct the differences with the standard, such as the difference between the face and the design draft, and the difference in the contour line.

The chief painting supervisor is responsible for the whole work and corrects the differences in the whole work.

In this way, the characters and body lines of an episode or an animation can be consistent, so that the audience will not feel that this person is still the protagonist one second, and the next second there will be a question mark about who he is.

In fact, a lot of animations make people feel collapsed.,It's because there's no time to repair it in a hurry.,Or the level of painting supervision is low and unreliable.,Forced to do it like this.,The face doesn't match.,The feeling of collapse will be extraordinarily strong.。

As for the original painting of "Uncle Ben" that Gu Xue was responsible for before, the face is so handsome, it doesn't match the whole at all, why hasn't it been repaired.

First, it was a requirement for the performance, and Hiroshi Misawa thought a lot and persuaded others, so he went on.

Second, perhaps all the audience thinks that Gu Xue has drawn the protagonist handsomely, but in fact, ...... The number of cards that Gu Xue is responsible for is drawn with reference to the character design draft, and it is also the closest to the character design......

What a sad story......

In animation production, in addition to character design, different works may also have positions such as mechanical design, weapon design, prop design, etc.

For example, the staff that Gu Xue is drawing now,That is, the cold weapon that the protagonist Yake took in "Little Witch Academy" feels like Jiri can kill people,Originally, it stands to reason that she wouldn't be allowed to draw.,Generally, TV animation,There is a high probability that there will be a prop design specifically responsible for this work。

But even if she has this position, Gu Xue shouldn't let others draw these props, in fact, don't underestimate these props, it's very important, if they don't match the style of the work, it's easy to play.

Gu Xue, as the person who is most familiar with this work, still honestly and defaulted to all the design work, although she did not add money, but it was just convenient, referring to the memory painting, and she did not need to consult the information and conceive the imagination.

Other designs such as brooms and other witches' ordinary staffs, Gu Xue also drew them.

Gu Xue's hand holding the pencil became faster and faster, and he became more and more engaged, and the original drawing paper full of characters or props was put aside, getting thicker and thicker.

By the time the protagonist Yake arrived, Gu Xue couldn't control his right hand anymore.

In terms of character design, the most important thing is not only the body shape, but also the face, that is, the expression of the character, to draw some for the reference of the original artists below, happy, angry, frustrated, etc., generally several.

And Gu Xue, when she painted the protagonist Yake, she drew twenty faces and two original drawing papers.

It's the same as drawing a meme.
