"Whoa."

"Whoa."

"Whoa."

……

In the master bedroom, which is not too big, or in the studio that is not too big, Sun Peng and the two girls each looked at the things in their hands.

This is the sunniest place in the whole house.

The two girls share a house, and they are both working on picture books and illustrations, and it turns out that they need an art studio. So the two simply shared a second bedroom, using the most sunny master bedroom as a studio. It means that after Ruonan has finished freshening up and greetings, everyone will begin to appreciate each other's works.

In addition to the sound of turning the pages of a book, only the fragrance of freshly brewed tea remained.

"Yes, both of them are very good-looking!"

After looking at the previous works of Yu Ruonan and Chen Ruoyi, Sun Peng nodded with satisfaction. Although both of them are girls, the painting style is not the kind of small freshness that Sun Peng doesn't like very much, and maybe because the two have always been classmates and roommates, the painting style is also very close.

It's just that after all, they are two people, and they still have their own characteristics.

Chen Ruoyi is characterized by being full of imagination, especially childlike playfulness, while Yu Ruonan is tougher, and some of his paintings look very imposing......

Putting down the sketch in his hand, Sun Peng glanced at Yu Ruonan.

The first impression was white, very white, white that Sun Peng had rarely seen.

Chen Ruoyi's skin is very white, but at least it is still within the normal range, but this Yu Ruoyi is a little uncomfortable, as if he has been locked in the house since he was born and has never seen the sun. On his fair face, there were a few strands of black hair scattered on it, and his eyes were also black and shiny, and if it weren't for the lack of vitality of his lips, he would have looked a little like a fairy tale character just by listening to the description.

Even now that everyone is sitting in the house reading a book together, Sun Peng chose to be in a sunny place, Chen Ruoyi chose to be in a place where the sun is not so bright, and Yu Ruonan is hiding in a darkly lit corner......

In addition to white, there is also thinness.

A height of more than one meter and six meters can definitely not be considered short, but looking at the thin and thin girl, Sun Peng couldn't help but think of the time when he had just crossed over......

Blind with that pretty little face!

Half an hour later, Yu Ruonan, who was the last to put down the manuscript, said with bright eyes: "Very interesting story!" Mr. Sun, did you write this? ”

"Well, it's only been a few days since I finished writing."

Nodding, Sun Peng smiled slightly.

"I love this story!"

Without any fuss, Yu Ruonan said dryly: "I also thank you for inviting me, but it's a pity that I'm working on a new picture book now, and it takes too long for you to finish this story...... Not! ”

Covering Yu Ruonan's mouth, Chen Ruoyi smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Sun, can you please wait in the living room?" ”

"Uh...... Of course. ”

Nodding awkwardly, Sun Peng hurriedly got up and walked out of the studio.

And then......

The thin door couldn't block the quarrel in the house, and Sun Peng vaguely heard Chen Ruoyi's roommate's voice: "...... Your own picture books are important, but do you have the money...... There may be ten books...... Rent for one year...... Sir, let's talk about ideals again......"

"Alas, the artist!"

After taking a sip of bitter tea, Sun Peng sighed and shook his head.

Ten minutes later, Sun Peng was invited into the studio again, and then Yu Ruonan bit his lip and said, "Mr. Sun, I can take over your work, but you can wait for me to finish the work at hand...... Hmm, two days at most, is that okay? ”

"Absolutely!"

Sun Peng was not surprised by Yu Ruonan's reply, after all, the first part of the Narnia legend is indeed a classic, and as a picture book writer, she can't fail to see it. And judging from what I heard just now, this girl is also very short of money!

But......

For Yu Ruonan's works, Sun Peng is not completely satisfied.

Drawing those battle scenes, and even the scenes of the existence of the White Witch, is undoubtedly very suitable for Yu Ruonan, but if it is to draw a few children and the encounter of the Yotei people, as well as interesting scenes with the sea otter couple, I am afraid it is a little inappropriate.

So after smiling slightly, Sun Peng shook his head and said: "It's just that I just looked at the works of the two, although they are both great, but there are slight differences in style, and my story is relatively long, and there are many different scenes, so I feel ...... Hehe, you two should fit the story. ”

"The two of us?"

After listening to Sun Peng's words, the two looked at each other in a daze.

"Yes, you two!"

Nodding, Sun Peng said seriously: "Originally, I came this time to ask Miss Yu for help, but after having the opportunity to see Miss Chen's paintings, I think maybe the two of you can cooperate and be responsible for the scenes that suit your own style, and it will be more efficient, isn't it?" ”

When do you have to paint alone?

Sun Peng knows a little bit about this line of work, and knows how long it takes to draw a page. If Yu Ruonan is really allowed to do it alone, it can be completed in a year, it will be a miracle of day and night!

Sun Peng didn't want her to come up with rough works in order to rush the work.

To put it simply, although Sun Peng didn't expect them to paint top-notch masterpieces, he didn't want to spoil the classics on the planet casually. Therefore, on the premise of ensuring quality, it is best to increase manpower and increase the efficiency of production.

Obviously, Chen Ruoyi's heart was moved.

Being able to share a house with Yu Ruonan in this kind of place all the time shows that Chen Ruoyi's situation is not much better, so there are not many opportunities to get a big job. It's just that she obviously has concerns, and subconsciously glanced at her roommate.

"I'm sure it's okay on my side."

Yu Ruonan didn't have any ideas, nodded and said: "And the painting style of the two of us is indeed very similar, but there are obvious differences in details, if the division of labor and cooperation, it is indeed quite suitable for this story." ”

After hearing what Yu Ruonan said, Chen Ruoyi and Sun Peng laughed at the same time.

The former is a grateful smile, presumably the generosity of his friend has touched Chen Ruoyi a lot; The latter is a smile of relief, because Sun Peng doesn't want to be at odds with the two because of this, which ultimately affects the quality of the picture book.

"Haha, very good!"

Clapping his hands, Sun Peng smiled and took out a stack of white paper from his bag: "Girls, here are some of the characters and scene design drafts I drew myself...... Of course, it's just a sketch. There's also a finished one, which is the standard I want, and if you can, I'd like you to draw a little bit based on the sketches...... At least ten pages, is that okay? ”

After the other party agrees, of course, the inspection will begin.

The story of more than 10,000 words doesn't seem to be long, but making it a picture book for children is a big project, and I'm afraid it will take a lot of books to the whole thing.

Of course, the two girls also understood this, Chen Ruoyi took Sun Peng's sketch and handed it to her roommate first, and then nodded happily: "Of course you can, but even if the two of us are together, it may take a week or two, please be patient."

"Of course that's fine."

Nodding with a smile, Sun Peng continued: "I only have one request, I hope you can show your best ability, you must draw it well!" If you don't have enough time, you can extend it, but in short, it must be beautiful, and it must be as good as your best work! In addition, as you can see, this set of picture books is very long, so the positioning is definitely not for those young children, who are not yet able to appreciate this kind of long story, so they should also pay attention to the style of painting......"

When the two were talking, Yu Ruonan had already begun to look at Sun Peng's design.

But at a glance, Yu Ruonan's brows quickly furrowed. The other party's design drawings are not very detailed, but the things to be expressed are also very clear, and she will naturally understand them at a glance. And I have to admit that he is worthy of being the author of the original book, and the characters and scenes designed are indeed very suitable for the story just now.

But when I saw that finished paper......

Biting his lip, Yu Ruonan suddenly asked, "Mr. Sun, ordinary picture books don't have such exquisite pictures, and if we do it according to this standard, we need to spend too much time and energy!" ”

“…… Let me see. ”

Hearing this, she was slightly stunned, Chen Ruoyi took the picture from her roommate's hand, and then her brows quickly furrowed.

The characters and scenes were painted by Sun Peng himself, but the finished draft was drawn by himself, and then processed by the master Xia Weiqing, and the fineness of the picture is natural at a glance...... Compared to most picture books on the market, this is indeed a bit exaggerated!

"Yes, the requirements are indeed quite high, as I said earlier."

Nodding, Sun Peng smiled faintly: "But what kind of effort will be rewarded, so before the two of you start painting, let's talk about the remuneration first......
