"His name is Ma Ning, he has a certain painting background, and he once published his works in "Young Dreamer". However, since then, I have not been able to draw a manga suitable for serialization. Now I am working as an assistant for the time being, and I am studying and submitting articles at the same time. Wang Wenhong and Gao Hang had nothing to say and forced themselves to change the topic.

"Hello." Ma Ning bowed slightly, his face a little restrained.

"Everyone works together. By the way, have you ever been an assistant before? ”

"Been a bit of a while." Ma Ning said.

"Then please put up the dot paper and put on the effect line."

"Yes, no problem." Ma Ning nodded immediately.

Gao Hang also came over at this time and told Ma Ning the precautions related to the dot paper, mainly the correspondence between the dot paper and the original mark.

The two assistants are all here, and "Chess Soul" can also be on the right track.

Different from the drawing of "Y's", the drawing progress of "Chess Soul" is not only related to Shen Xin's drawing speed, but also affected by Xie Shiqi, fortunately, Xie Shiqi did not delay too much, and on the third day, he entrusted Wang Wenhong to send a chess score, and the bottom of each chess game is marked with the first page and the first storyboard.

In addition, Xie Shiqi also sent photos of the chess club and the Go classroom, and the scenes in them were similar to the background of "Chess Soul". Considering the closeness to reality, Shen Xin decided to use the buildings in the photos as the background.

After two more days, Xie Shiqi once again entrusted Wang Wenhong to send a stack of photos, this time the photo is a panoramic photo of "Xie Chengbo Go Dojo", from the inside to the outside, almost all of them were taken.

Shen Xin printed two copies of these photos, one to Gao Hang, so that he could take time to practice copying the background, and the other for himself.

Although the background is mainly drawn by Gao Hang, before handing over the manuscript to Gao Hang, he must first draw the line drawing, including the background of the comic.

Moreover, it is also very risky to leave all the troublesome work to the assistant. Any assistant will leave the studio for some unavoidable reason.

In case Gao Hang resigned from him, he couldn't stop drawing the original manuscript because he was not proficient in the background, right?

Ruan Ying and Qiao Yu were dug up, and it was only a year later, and he didn't forget it.

Shen Xin stretched his waist and touched the coffee on the table, and suddenly found that it was empty, so he casually threw it into the trash.

Downstairs, Gao Hang is painting the background of the Ming Dynasty, which is antique and has a sense of elegance.

Gao Hang's strength has increased a lot after being separated from him for three or four months, and it seems that Gao Hang has not slackened in the past few months.

As for Ma Ning, he is mainly responsible for dot paper and effect lines.

The dot paper used today is transparent dot paper, with adhesive on one side and dots printed on the other. Therefore, sticking net paper is a test of the assistant's use of the screen cutting knife, and sometimes in order to pursue the effect, it is necessary to use skills such as scraping and stacking nets.

The effect line is also not simple, in addition to the concentration line, there are assembly lines and curved effect lines, and even the surrounding darkness, the middle is white high light, in addition, if you want to draw the ideal effect line, the assistant must also be proficient in the use of rulers and cloud rulers.

If the basic skills of the painter are not solid, the effect line and dot paper may not be able to do a good job.

Shen Xin looked at it for a few minutes, and then judged that Ma Ning's strength in this area was not as good as Lu Ning, but it was better than Qiao Yu.

However, just as the strength of the cartoonist will increase, the level of the assistant will also improve over time, so he is not worried about Ma Ning's strength at all.

Shen Xin put a can of coffee in front of each of them and said, "If you're tired, take a rest." ”

"Teacher Shen, I remember that you rarely rest." Gao Hang opened the coffee and looked at Shen Xin with a smile.

"Isn't this yet serialized? When it is officially serialized, it is estimated that there will be less time to rest. Shen Xin yawned.

Ma Ning held the canned coffee, looked down at the sketch, was silent, and after struggling for more than ten seconds, he raised his head, "Teacher......"

"Huh?" Shen Xin, who was about to turn around, turned his head and looked at Ma Ning in surprise.

"Teacher, how on earth can I get it serialized on ComicFuture? I feel like I've done a good job, why...... Can't be serialized by "ComicFuture"? Ma Ning's face was solemn and he looked up at Shen Xin.

"I don't know." Shen Xin shook his head.

"Huh? I don't know? Ma Ning was a little confused, "However, you have already been serialized in "ComicFuture", ......"

"Hmm." Shen Xin raised his head slightly, "But I was serialized in other magazines before, and I only came to ComicFuture this year." ”

"So you were in MangaFly?" Ma Ning speculated.

"It's not." Shen Xin shook his head, "In a second-tier magazine, right?" "Neorld", I guess you haven't heard of it, right? ”

“《Neorld》？ Something familiar. Ma Ning frowned, "I remember that at last year's comic book festival, the cartoonists of "Neorld" seemed to win an award...... Ah, I remember, you were last year's 'Rookie King'! ”

Ma Ning let out a sound of surprise, and Shen Xin smiled reluctantly, a little embarrassed.

In the sea of clouds, no one would show such surprise.

The reason why the cartoonists in the two places perform differently is related to the comic atmosphere of the two places.

Every year, there are many rookie cartoonists who debut in Hongchuan, and the best of them are no less powerful than well-known cartoonists. Therefore, Ma Ning is very aware of the difficulty of winning the "Newcomer Award".

Take the current serialized "Hunting Abyss" as an example, it has been in third place in "ComicFuture", but even with this strength, it still failed to win the "Newcomer Award" and lost to "Y's".

When Ma Ning knew that Shen Xin was the author of "Y's", his heart was full of surprise.

At the same time, he is a newcomer who aims for serialization, so he also has a glimmer of expectation in his heart.

"So, teacher, how do you think a cartoonist can be serialized?" Ma Ning seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and couldn't wait to ask.

I don't know?

Shen Xin didn't know.

"Ahem...... Do you really want to be a cartoonist? Shen Xin asked.

Ma Ning nodded again and again, "I dream about serialization." ”

"Although saying this will break your confidence, I still say in advance that drawing comics is gambling. Wide. If you succeed, you can indeed make a lot of money, but if you fail, you really lose everything. This is not alarmist or a blow to potential opponents, in fact, there are many people who aspire to become cartoonists and end up disappearing into the sea of people. ”

"I know...... But I ...... I don't want to give up yet. Ma Ning's face was resolute.

"Then think of a good story...... Interesting story. At the end of the day, whether it's a comic or a movie, they're just the carriers of the story. Only a good story can attract readers. Shen Xin said seriously.
