"Luckily, I met a good editor." Shen Xin couldn't understand this girl's thoughts.

Yan Fei's brows moved slightly, she had been in contact with Shen Xin for so long, and she felt an indescribable comfort in her heart when she heard Shen Xin praise her in front of others.

"Her name is Ruan Ying, she used to draw comics for a while, and now she works as a professional assistant." The corners of Yan Fei's mouth lifted slightly.

"Oh, hello." Shen Xin didn't expect Yan Fei to find a cartoonist, and he was also overjoyed.

If an experienced person comes to serve as an assistant, the pressure on him will be much lighter.

Ruan Ying is now a professional assistant, and she needs her help for other serials. Qiao Yu also studied with other teachers. During the week, they may not work here for a while. Yan Fei reminded.

"I see." Zheng Ke responded.

A professional assistant like Ruan Ying is definitely expensive. And Shen Xin is short of funds now, so it is better to hire two assistants to help first, and then think about other things when he has sufficient funds.

In addition, Shen Xin also has his own careful thoughts.

So far, he is still a student, and although he has a lot of free time in college, he still has to go to some important classes - such as the class teacher's class - from time to time, otherwise, he may be "hung" up as a wind chime at any time.

"Well, I have some classes to take. If I'm not here, you don't have to come. Shen Xin proposed.

Qiao Yu and Ruan Ying nodded again and again, and after discussion.

In the end, it was decided that on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and evenings, and all day on Saturday and Sunday, two people would come over to help. Considering that the first episode is as many as 55 pages, and that the progress will be much slower if they have to draw color comics, Qiao Yu and Ruan Ying decided that they will work overtime in the evenings of the past week.

"So, which of the two of you is in charge of the background?" Shen Xin asked.

Backgrounds are the most complex of all ancillary jobs, and if you change the person who draws the background frequently, it will also lead to a lack of uniformity in the style of the comic, so usually, the background will be drawn by one person, and the outline, effect line, black, white, and sticker paper will be handed over to someone else.

Ruan Ying glanced at Qiao Yu and found that he didn't want to draw the background, so she took the initiative to take it.

Shen Xin's pressure has been reduced a lot, if Ruan Ying really wants to be a full-time assistant, then she should be good at all aspects of the assistant, and the drawing of the background is a must for the assistant.

For Ruan Ying, the background should be fine.

"I have already ticked the lines of the black-and-white manuscript of the picture, and the places that need to be blacked out or dotted have also been marked, and the rest of the work will be left to you for the time being." Shen Xin returned to the desk, picked up the drawn line drawing, and handed it to Ruan Ying and Qiao Yu, "Please, two of you." ”

The line drawing has been inscribed, and in the blank space, Shen Xin also left a mark with a blue pencil.

Generally speaking, writing in blue pencil on manuscript paper will not be printed unless you use too much force, and it is for this reason that manga artists do not use an eraser after marking with a blue pencil.

As for what marks are used for the types of black, white, and dotted paper, Shen Xin also gave a simple explanation.

"It turns out that the teacher's painting is so good. Is it really just a school student? Ruan Ying saw the line drawing and raised her eyebrows, "If I can draw such a line drawing, I should be able to work as a cartoonist." ”

"You don't have to be a cartoonist if you draw well." Shen Xin said with a smile.

"Yes...... But I couldn't find a good script either. Ruan Ying looked regretful.

After Qiao Yu saw Shen Xin's line draft, her heart also changed a lot.

He originally thought that the reason why Shen Xin was able to submit was because of the story. Now when I saw the line drawing, I suddenly found that the editor might be Shen Xin's painter.

Ruan Ying, as a professional assistant, had already estimated the approximate workload after getting the sketch, and Qiao Yu was also trained in a professional school, so there was no problem in adapting to it.

Shen Xin handed the background photo to Ruan Ying again, and the two turned around and went to their respective desks.

"How's the progress of the coloring page?" Yan Fei saw Shen Xin return to her seat and also walked over.

"I only started drawing and coloring yesterday, so I've only finished two pages." Shen Xin picked up a black marker and said softly.

Originally, Shen Xin planned to use watercolor, but after drawing a page, he found that coloring with watercolor was too cumbersome, and it took a long time for the color to dry, so he went to the store and bought a set of markers. Of course, in terms of price, markers are also a little more expensive than watercolors.

Luckily, you don't need to use a marker for every word.

If it weren't for the fact that he was on the headline color page for the first sentence, he wouldn't have bothered so much.

Yan Fei heard that Shen Xin had already drawn two color drafts, so she couldn't wait to find these two color drafts.

The color pages drawn by Shen Xin are actually two of Iori's photos.

Because it is a close-up of the character, it is more delicate and time-consuming to draw by hand.

First of all, in order to highlight the authenticity, Shen Xin was particularly careful about the drawing of the characters, and on the first page, almost all the lines of the sweater worn by Iori were drawn. Whether it is the background of the character, or the appearance and skin of the character, it is a more realistic style.

On the second page, lying flat on the sofa, the marks left by the stretching of the muscles, including the folds on the sofa, were expressed by Shen Xin in different shades of color. The connection between swimsuits, swim trunks and skin, and the elasticity of muscles are also vividly reflected under Shen Xin's brush.

Different from the gorgeousness of Chen Zijiao's pen, Shen Xin's color pages are more realistic, which complements the style of the whole comic.

"Beautiful...... If I hadn't known in advance that this was a comic, I thought it was a real photo? Yan Fei felt that her hand holding the manuscript kept shaking.

Shen Xin, it should be ...... No, it's definitely the most talented of all the cartoonists she's contacted.

"I can't all the color pages be at this level, otherwise, the speed can't catch up, and besides, the color pages in the back are all with grids, and I can't draw so delicately." Shen Xin stretched and explained.

"Don't worry, I'm not a cartoonist, but I know these things...... Now imagine that the table of contents is followed by these three photos, and readers will surely feel this strong sense of impact. Yan Fei put the color page back on the table, "I hope to receive good news from you soon." ”

"It's not that there are three weeks to ......"

"It's two weeks, and I'm going to get the manuscript early."

In order to avoid opening the skylight, Yan Fei is very strict with the time.

"Got it." Shen Xin pulled out a marker and began to color Iori's hair.

Yan Fei was also in charge of other authors, and after staying in the studio for a while, she said goodbye to Shen Xin, and the whole studio immediately quieted down, leaving only the sound of dipping pens rubbing against paper.

This atmosphere lasted until noon, when Qiao Yu and Ruan Ying went to lunch, and Shen Xin stopped writing after drawing the third page of the color manuscript.

The most difficult thing to draw is these three photos, although the rest of the drawings are also color drafts, but compared with these three pages, the difficulty has dropped a lot, and the speed will be faster.

Shen Xin stretched his waist, got up from his seat, came to Qiao Yu and Ruan Ying's workbench, glanced at the sketches that the two of them were working on, and immediately became interested.
