Chapter 30: Xi Muhan's Little Secret
The background of the first episode is moderately difficult, and the slightly more complex scene is the school and Yi Gui's home.
For professional assistants, it is not difficult to have such a degree of background, and many of the sub-grids have a lot of white space, and some scenes use dot paper to set off the atmosphere, from these aspects, the drawing of the scene has been greatly simplified.
Even if it is not difficult, Ruan Ying is not lazy in drawing the background, and even exceeds Shen Xin's expectations, especially the grasp of the sense of space, as well as the perspective of buildings and characters, are handled very well.
She is really a professional assistant, and if she can be hired as a full-time assistant, her pressure should be reduced a lot.
Of course, these are just Shen Xin's casual thoughts, he even owes tuition fees now, and he doesn't have extra money.
As for Qiao Yu......
Shen Xin came to Qiao Yu's workbench again and carefully looked at the manuscripts he had handled.
In the first episode, there is a lot of dot paper used.
Clothes, backgrounds, shadows, inner activities, and many other places are all made of dot paper, and Qiao Wei also reflected what he learned in comic school in the original manuscript.
As for the level, Shen Xin can only say that it is okay, and there is no need to rework and redo it.
Blackening and whitening are mainly on the hair, and compared to stickers, Qiao Yu is better at this level, showing the shine of the hair.
In the early stage of the first episode, there were not many places to use effect lines, so Shen Xin couldn't see the level of his drawing effect lines for the time being. But in the later stage of the first episode, especially when Yi Gui used a wooden stick to beat the boys who surrounded the training room, he would use a lot of effect lines, and at that time, Qiao Yu's overall strength should be able to be seen.
After reading the drafts of the two people, Shen Xin also has a general understanding of the level of the two people, from the current point of view, relying on them should be able to create this comic, and, over time, the proficiency of the two assistants will improve, and the cooperation will be more skillful, and the creation time of each word should also be shorter.
Although the number of assistants is small, Shen Xin is particularly optimistic about the prospects of "Y's".
On the first day, Qiao Yu and Ruan Ying were busy until nine o'clock before leaving the studio, and Shen Xin also put away his paintbrush after drawing a color page.
It takes half an hour to get from work to home.
Originally, Shen Xin thought that before he drew the first sentence, there would be a spare room anyway, but Xi Muhan protested, and he couldn't refute these protests.
"If you live in the studio, it is estimated that three meals a day are instant noodles, and I don't know how to pay attention to my body."
Although Shen Xin promised not to do this, he couldn't stop Xi Muhan from believing it, after all, he was caught by her not long ago.
Of course, in addition to the reason for "instant noodles", there is another more important reason, and he is not worried about letting Xi Muhan live at home alone.
After arriving home, the house was dark, Shen Xin turned on the light in the living room, the hall was empty, but Xi Muhan's room was still lit.
"I'm back." Shen Xin said to Xi Muhan's door.
"Oh!"
Xi Muhan's voice came from the room, followed by a loud sound. It took about a second or twenty for the door to be opened, and Xi Muhan walked out of the room.
Xi Muhan was wearing loose pajamas, and when he came to Shen Xin's side, he had a hint of fragrance, and he should have just washed his hair.
"Brother Xin, wait a minute, I'll go and heat up the food for you." As he spoke, Xi Muhan prepared to go to the kitchen.
"No, it's hot, so there's nothing wrong with having a cold meal. It's you, hurry into the house. It's so hot, I'm going to sweat again after a while. Shen Xin waved his hand, took the lead in the kitchen, brought out the rice and vegetables, and Xi Muhan also poured him a glass of boiled water and put it on the table.
Shen Xin glanced at Xi Muhan's hand and found that her hand was stained with ink.
"What's wrong with your hands?" Shen Xin was puzzled.
"Hands?" Xi Muhan glanced down at his hand, and subconsciously called out, and then suddenly remembered that Shen Xin was sitting beside him, so he hurriedly put his hand behind him, "That...... The fountain pen was broken just now, so I got some ...... on my hands."
"Really? You're not practicing dipping pens, are you? Shen Xinhu said suspiciously.
"How is that possible? I don't even know what a dip pen is, how do I practice? Xi Muhan hurriedly shook his head and denied it.
"That's fine...... Learning is more important. Shen Xin admonished.
Xi Muhan's grades were very good, and Shen Xin didn't want her to scatter her energy elsewhere.
The car accident a year ago had a great impact on Xi Muhan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it changed her life, of course, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have had a chance to cross over.
Therefore, he also hopes that Xi Muhan can have a good future.
"Got it." Xi Muhan nodded again and again, "Brother Xin, if it's okay, I'll go back to the house first." ”
"Well, let's go?" Shen Xin put the dish on top of the rice and put the rice in his mouth.
Xi Muhan returned to his room, closed the door with his backhand, and patted his chest, "It's really dangerous, I was almost discovered...... What a carelessness. ”
After feeling for a long time, Xi Muhan returned to the desk.
On the table is a page of discarded manuscript paper, and in front of the manuscript paper is a bottle of ink with a brush on it.
After Xi Muhan sat down, the brush was dipped in ink, carefully held the brush, and applied black ink along the line drawing, and at the same time, controlled the strength of the pen so that the ink was evenly distributed in the outline of the figure.
She doesn't know how to draw, let alone backgrounds, but she doesn't think there's anything wrong with learning to black. If you have time, learn a little bit about how to stick dot paper.
Help Shen Xin as much as possible, this is her little secret.
Shen Xin went to the studio early the next morning and continued to draw the original manuscript.
Just after noon, Yan Fei called again to inquire about the progress of the first episode, and when she learned that it was being carried out in an orderly manner, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?" Xiaoli beside her looked at Yan Fei.
"It's nothing, I'm waiting for Shen Xin's original manuscript." Yan Fei said.
"Eh, do you think Shen Xin can really fight against "Crumbling"? It's already the fourth episode, "Crumbling" just didn't have a good response in the second episode, and the other three episodes are all first. Xiaoli was a little excited when she mentioned "Crumbling".
Although this comic is the signature of the enemy magazine, as a comic book lover, seeing such an excellent comic still makes Xiaoli a little excited.
"Haven't you already seen the name of Y's?" Yan Fei wondered.
"The name is good-looking, and I prefer the story of Y's, but the magazine doesn't publish the name, but the original manuscript. To be honest, I personally feel that Chen Zijiao's original manuscript is of higher quality. The color page of the first episode of "Crumbling" is really beautiful, I haven't seen such a gorgeous color page for a long time. Xiaoli said seriously.
"Then I'll tell you the truth, the original manuscript of Y's is definitely beyond your imagination." Yan Fei has an inexplicable confidence in Shen Xin.
"When you say that, I'm still looking forward to the first words of "Y's"." Xiaoli rubbed her hands together, looking eager to try.
At this moment, the editor-in-chief sitting at the innermost side of the editorial department suddenly spoke, "Li Jiming, come here." ”
A middle-aged editor's face changed, and he slowly stood up from his seat, took a deep breath, and walked towards the editor-in-chief with his head down.
