Chapter 9 Copying Sketches
Shen Xin returned home and redrew the name again, mainly referring to Yan Fei's suggestion, and adding some "meat" scenes.
When the name was completed, Shen Xin looked at the name again and couldn't help nodding again and again.
I have to say that Yan Fei's suggestion is really good, if a comic has only one style, it will indeed be a bit monotonous.
That's not to say that you can't draw a good comic with only one style of graphics. In fact, the style of many love comics in District 11 is relatively unified, such as "Miyuki, Miyuki", "Baseball Heroes" by Anda Mitsutsu, and "A Moment of Reunion" by Rumiko Takahashi, the love described in it is very warm, but this requires a certain amount of life experience, so when reading, readers will have a sense of substitution, as if the characters in the comics are their acquaintances.
If this part of the element is missing, then other content needs to be added, such as in "Pseudo-Love", which adds funny elements, and the effect is also obvious.
Back to Shen Xin's comic, before going on a graduation trip, he added the plot of the school girl Fat Ci being stolen. Because of a misunderstanding, the heroine shifted her attention to the male protagonist, laying the groundwork for the next two encounters on the graduation trip, and at the same time, the transition of the plot is also very natural, without the previous stiffness.
Considering the diversity of styles, Shen Xin redesigned the characters.
Now that there is a fat ci, can the image of the heroine be designed to be pure?
The setting of such a character should have a greater impact on the reader, and at the same time, the sense of substitution will be stronger.
After all, most people's first love is very simple.
Shen Xin looked at the character design he had drawn before, and even more firmly established his idea, took out a few blank pieces of paper, and began to design the image of the heroine again.
When Yan Fei saw the new name and the new personality, her eyes blinked a few times, and when she looked at Shen Xin again, her eyes were full of surprise.
"How...... What's wrong? Shen Xin was a little uncertain, and the next moment, he saw Yan Fei giving him a thumbs up.
"It's even better than I expected, I really didn't look away, and then I just drew according to this name and persona. How long will it take you to draw the original? β
"This ...... It's almost a month, right? Shen Xin couldn't say it accurately.
Without the help of an assistant, he had to do all the work alone, and the time would inevitably be delayed. Thankfully, the summer vacation is coming soon, so Shen Xin can also spare a lot of time to draw the original manuscript.
"Okay, I hope to submit the original manuscript of this cartoon at next month's meeting, come on." Yan Fei cheered Shen Xin up.
Shen Xin's ability in comics, especially in story fabrication, far exceeds her imagination.
If the story of "The Witch" is as brilliant as "Love Equation", Wang Wenhong will definitely not throw away the manuscript...... It can only be said that the goddess of luck is standing beside her.
When she walked out of the Starbus, Yan Fei was in a happy mood, while Shen Xin was in a different mood - happy, with some anxiety.
When he got home, he made a cup of instant noodles, and without bothering to eat it, he took out Name, and at the same time took out the manuscript paper from the drawer.
Unlike ordinary blank paper, or even doujinshi manuscript paper, the original paper of the commercial journal is the size of B4 paper, which is larger and better than the regular A4 paper.
The first step in drawing an original is to "copy" the name.
When I say "copying", I actually use a pencil to redraw the sketch on the A4 paper onto the original paper.
Compared to sketches, the characters on the manuscript paper should be more vivid, and the background should be more detailed. At the same time, since the dialogue is already written on the sketch, it is possible to draw only the dialogue frame on the manuscript paper instead of writing the dialogue.
Xi Muhan will take the high school entrance examination in two days, and before the end of the exam, the school will not have a holiday, which is called to keep the candidates in the best condition.
This is not quite the same as the high school he is familiar with - whenever a major exam is approaching, the students of the earth are in a state of "herding sheep".
However, it is precisely because of this that Shen Xin can focus on "copying" the name.
Late at night, Shen Xin rubbed his sore eyes and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
It was early in the morning, and my stomach was growling.
"Ahh
Shen Xin slapped his forehead hard, and then he remembered that the soaked cup noodles hadn't been eaten yet, so he hurriedly ran to the kitchen and glanced at the instant noodles placed by the fire, wanting to cry without tears.
Instant noodles have really become "bubble" noodles, which are "fatter" than before, chewed in the mouth, and soft. Not to mention the strong texture unique to instant noodles, not even the taste.
Shen Xin, who was physically and mentally exhausted and hungry at the same time, couldn't care about this, and ate the "bubble" noodles in one go, and then put the instant noodles bowl in the trash.
The final exam is coming soon, and Shen Xin also has to prepare for the exam, otherwise if he fails the course, he will have to pay a sum of money to make up the exam fee.
Most of the exams for art majors are some professional courses, and the test is the student's painting, which of course is difficult for Shen Xin.
In addition to this, there are several compulsory courses, which are not very difficult but require rote memorization, and fortunately, the teacher will delineate the scope of the exam in the last class.
Shen Xin was absent from class for a few days, and some teachers didn't listen to the "circle questions", so they could only turn to Yang Bo for help.
"You kid, what have you been doing these days?" Yang Bo handed the book to Shen Xin.
Shen Xin picked up the pen and quickly marked the exam content in the textbook, "Secret." β
"You're a big ghost...... Eh, your manuscript won't get accepted by a comic magazine, will it? Yang Bo suddenly remembered what happened at the fanfic exhibition not long ago.
Shen Xin smiled and didn't say anything, just took the pen to focus.
"Hey, it can't be true, right? Which magazine? Yang Bo became excited and couldn't wait to pat Shen Xin's shoulder.
"Shhhhhh Shen Xin glared at Yang Bo angrily, and said in a low voice.
Yang Bo looked around, and the other people in the study room were looking at him inexplicably, and he could only scratch his head in embarrassment.
After sitting next to Shen Xin, Yang Bo asked in a low voice, "Tell me, which magazine is it?" β
βγNew Worldγγ It's not clear whether it will be published, but the editor is more satisfied, and after the original manuscript is drawn, she will submit it to the editor-in-chief to judge whether to publish it. Shen Xin explained.
"Damn, it's New World! I thought it would be a small magazine? I really envy you! Yang Bo hugged Shen Xin tightly.
"There are other people in the classroom!" Shen Xin reminded.
Yang Bo laughed twice and hurriedly let go, "When it is published, you must tell me which issue it is in?" β
"yes, it will." Shen Xin closed the book and handed Yang Bo's book to him.
The university exam is not too difficult, painting has always been Shen Xin's strong point, but a few compulsory courses and elective courses need to be paid attention to.
A week before the exam, there were basically no classes in the school, and Shen Xin was also at home, inking the manuscript while reviewing, and Xi Muhan also finished the high school entrance examination at this time.
