Drawing a comic storyboard is not a difficult thing, a small number of professional cartoonists can draw a comic storyboard in an hour without guaranteeing the quality, only if they can understand it, Harvey is not a professional cartoonist, but he has the experience of shooting movies and stronger thinking skills, and it is easy to draw a comic storyboard.

There is Lily in the alchemy workshop, the little guy is there, and he is so noisy that he often plays and suddenly bumps into Harvey's arms and interrupts his thoughts, Harvey simply built a temporary office space in the [Endless Library], and it is easy to find what information he needs. It took 10 minutes to complete the first scene of Frozen, a five-page storyboard, in which the ice transport team sings and cuts the ice in an icy lake, and the storyboard stops on a close-up overlooking the entire dream city as they return.

Harvey found a total of seven painters on Rodney Art Street, and each of them offered a high salary of more than 5 gold ballons, all of whom had expertise in different fields. But none of the painters, including Shirley, had any experience with comics, and Harvey needed to write a clear division of labor in the storyboard, assigning who depicted the background, who portrayed the characters, and who applied the colors based on the information he had obtained.

Harvey estimated that he would have spent the first few days in the studio instructing the artists how to draw comics. Harvey himself has never eaten pork, at least he has seen a pig run, or the kind he has seen many times.

Niya got out of the carriage, carefully lifted her painting kit and lowered it to the ground, and raised her hand to signal, "Wait, wait a while before leaving." ”

Sitting on the roof of the carriage, the groom watched inexplicably as Niya arranged her hair against the glass of the carriage, she had short neck-length hair, perhaps because of neglect, many parts of it were upturned to look unkempt, she wore a dark green Italian dress, low cut and narrow waist, the skirt was embroidered with a cross pattern, and the skirt was decorated with a clear folk style, which was the most expensive of all her clothes, and only wore it on holidays or attending high-class banquets.

Sure that there was nothing wrong with her appearance, Nia cautiously walked to Harvey's door, first curiously looking left and right, covering her lips with her little hands and coughing silently to practice greetings.

"Ms. Shirley, I like your work very much..."

"Lady Shirley, my name is Niya Angelo, and I'm so happy to meet you..."

"Mr. Adrian, I was you yesterday..."

She babbled and thought, lingered at the door for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door, and the door was opened by a middle-aged woman, wearing a traditional black dress, no matter how she dressed or looked meticulous, she was the housekeeper arranged by William, mainly responsible for managing the housekeeping of the studio.

"You're Miss Niya Angelo, come in, everyone is waiting for you." The housekeeper bowed slightly.

"For a long time?" Nya's face stiffened, and she walked in timidly and hesitated, "I shouldn't be late, I came to the door according to the time that Mr. Adrian said." ”

"The master will explain the details to you, but you need to remember that your scope of work is only the studio, and you are definitely not allowed to set foot on the second floor."

The housekeeper glanced at her coldly and continued to lead the way, there was a vacant room at the corner of the corridor on the first floor, which had been hurriedly renovated yesterday, mainly to buy the tools that the painter needed, including a workbench, a drawing board, drawing paper, paints, etc. Nia walked in at the signal of the housekeeper and saw that the spacious room was already full of people, including Harvey and Shirley, a total of eight people, and Harvey was holding a piece of drawing paper to explain something.

Nia's arrival attracted everyone's attention, she was a little embarrassed to lift the hem of her skirt to everyone and bowed, and after looking at Shirley's gentle eyes, she only felt her face burn, this was the first time she really saw Shirley, and her burned head forgot how to react. She was one of Shirley's big fans, including Shirley's paintings and Shirley's role as Mercetes in The Count of Monte Cristo, and the overlap of the two impressions perfectly matched what a female painter should look like.

Harvey looked at her at a loss and smiled, after all, she was still a little girl, so she beckoned: "Please come in, Miss Niya, since everyone is here, then please introduce yourself first." ”

Harvey stepped forward: "I'm sure everyone knows my name, and I created this studio with a simple purpose, to launch a new form of "book", a book with pictures as words and words as auxiliary. This is Ms. Shirley, the head writer of the studio, and if I have any questions about painting, I can ask her for advice. ”

Shirley stood up and bowed to the painters.

Nya, who had just arrived, also stammered to introduce herself: "My name is Nya Angelo, I am an apprentice in the Fergus studio, I am good at sketching, and I often have a drawing board to make murals. ”

"Stuart Keith is good at painting and coloring."

The young male painter humbly said: "I am Shaw Campbell, an assistant in Mark's studio, and I am not good at it, but I have studied both oil painting and drawing. ”

A female painter stood up and bowed and introduced herself: "I'm Jenny Taylor, and I'm good at sketching backgrounds. ”

After each of the nine members of the studio finished their presentations, Harvey coughed to attract attention and began to explain his request.

"As you all know, phantom is undoubtedly a great success as a new thing, and now you are repeating the whole process and creating a new form of culture. I call it comics, and most of them have pictures throughout the ages, and these pictures can only explain the most basic information, so I came up with an idea to use simple and straightforward pictures to represent information, and words to fill in the missing pictures. Hmm~ It's not my personal conjecture, because this is originally the most primitive way of human communication. ”

"So let's look at this painting first." Harvey took out the original storyboard of the comic strip that he had drawn overnight and showed it: "This picture is a draft I made, this picture shows the process of collecting and transporting ice cubes by a team, pay attention to the movements and demeanors of each character in it, here is the scene where they sing a song and mine ice, what information can you read in this sketch painting?" ”

The painters looked at each other, and Niya stretched out her little head to look at the storyboard curiously: "It's cold? ”

"This is also a part, but there is nothing in this simple storyboard that depicts the weather is very cold, and this part is the place that you need to complete, including snow scenes, ice cubes, presented in the simplest but rigorous form, which is very similar to phantoms, phantoms are simulated scenes, and comics are imaginary scenes."

Niya's face flushed, feeling Harvey's set, and the rest of the painters seemed to understand whether they understood or not, the concept of comics was still too avant-garde in this world where oil painting was prevalent after all.

Harvey shrugged his shoulders, anticipating the outcome, and began to assign work, Shirley drew the original drawings of the characters, Nia completed them, Jenny Taylor drew the backgrounds, Shaw Campbell took care of the coloring, and so on. Each process needs to be explained in detail by Harvey, and the painter can just follow the drawing, in fact, even in the modern comic industry, there is a similar situation, people who can write plots are not good at drawing, and people who are good-looking just don't have the talent to think about the plot.

Harvey has seen a similar work, "Dream Eater", which tells the story of two teenagers who chase their dreams to become cartoonists, one of them is good at drawing, and the other is good at conceiving plots. Harvey's comic works are also a typical one, the original ONE plot is very good, but the painting is the same as a child's graffiti, so there is the original version, and then cooperated with Yusuke Murata to really create the comic version of "One Punch Man".

Harvey is equivalent to ONE, the original author of "One Punch Man", and although the group of painters he hired is only half-baked in the comic industry, he can be regarded as a painter with rich experience, and it should not be a big problem to draw step by step.
