Chapter 136: The First Test
"So, I'm the one who made the question, this wayβ"
Entering Anna's studio, Anna asked Fu Mengzhu to sit down on the seat where she usually paints, and she stood side by side with Yuemi on the other side, and then said suddenly.
Yuemi was stunned for a moment, turned her face to the side and was a little puzzled: "Eh? Didn't you say before that it would be nice for me to think of a random topic? β
In fact, there were no two projects in Yuemi's test at all, and she planned to directly take out the draft of the first episode of "Magical Girl Naye" and hand it to Fu Mengzhu - of course, Lin Lin had already revised the version that could be used - and let Fu Mengzhu try it directly.
After all, what Ji Kaiwei said at the beginning was to let Fu Mengzhu paint "Magical Girl Naiye", whether she has the strength or not, just try to draw a word, nothing can be more direct than this.
However, Anna proposed in the casual conversation with Yuemi just now that she wanted to add a project - she wanted Fu Mengzhu to create an original character according to Yuemi's request.
As for the reason
"Anyway, I want to let that Miyama be the original author's painter, and I want to get to know this person from her own paintings."
Anna smiled mysteriously when she said this, in short, she was pretending to be a ghost, although Yuemi still didn't refuse in the end.
After all, this is a small matter, and although it is himself who proposes to test, but whether he can pass it or not, there is no standard in Yuemi's heart now, and it would be great if Anna was willing to help.
As she herself said, "I may not be able to compare my drawing skills to you, but at least when it comes to drawing comics, I'm your senior!" β
Since she said so, then Yuemi is also happy, isn't it?
But before, Anna said that it was okay to let Yuemi set a random theme by herself, but now she is
"If you mind, you can come."
Noticing Yuemi's doubts, Anna shrugged her shoulders and said.
Yuemi pursed her lips and shook her head: "No, you can come up with the question, to be honest, I can't think of any topic, this project was originally proposed by Anna, so it's naturally good if you have an idea." β
Anna counted her thumbs and showed a mouthful of good teeth: "Leave it to me~"
She took two steps forward and crossed her hands on her hips: "Then, Fu Mengzhu, listen, I'll only say the topic once." β
"I want you to draw a young girl sitting in an empty train with a suitcase and looking out the window at the field, where the details are free."
With that, she retreated to Yuemi's side and pulled her to sit down on a nearby chair.
Yuemi was a little dumbfounded: "That's it?" β
Anna nodded, "That's all." β
"Well, isn't it, it's too little to describe, just like that."
Yuemi couldn't help but have a little doubt, originally she thought that Anna would arrange a relatively more definite theme, such as what kind of scene, what kind of people look like, what kind of things are done, what are around, etc., not to mention the details, at least the other parts should be fully described.
Who knew that Anna would end with such a flirtatious sentence.
Is that really good?
Yuemi glanced at Fu Mengzhu, who was sitting upright, and the other party held his chin with a pen like an old monk who had settled down, and did not move for a long time.
However, Anna just smiled: "If I'm not mistaken, Yuemi, since you officially debuted as a comic book author, you have always had three mountains by your side to support you." β
"Hmm."
This is true, but Tsukimi doesn't know why Anna suddenly brought it up.
"Just like when you weren't drawing manga in the past, the works you created won't be specified in detail by anyone to tell you what to draw, right? Even if you participate in a contest, you can just choose a theme and let you play freely," Anna continued, "The same is true for drawing comics, and no matter what you draw, imagination is very important. β
Speaking of this, Anna nodded Yuemi's forehead: "Probably Yuemi, you only considered whether the other party has the strength to be the creator of "Magical Girl Naye", unlike you, what I want to know is whether she can become a comic creator. β
It's not enough to be able to draw cute characters, and that kind of person can't become a manga author, but can only be called an artist.
Anna looked at Fu Mengzhu, who was still contemplative, although she was still talking and laughing as usual, but there was no smile in those eyesβas if she was figuring out the essence of Fu Mengzhu.
"You're lucky to have Miyama to help you conceive the script, so there's a lot less to worry about"
In the eyes of most comic book authors, if there is an excellent original author who can work with Yuemi and Lin Lin in the same way as they get along, it is definitely a dream situation.
"But even so, all Sanshan can provide you with is the story itself and a rough storyboard draft, and it is you who can imagine the world of that story and draw it on paper."
Lin Lin's storyboard draft Anna has also seen it, to be honest, it's really bad to be good, not to mention the details, even the actions of the characters are a little ambiguous, and it's Yuemi's job to make up for these.
"So, if you want to become a comic book author, imagination is very important, and if I make everything clear, then this test I propose will be meaningless," After explaining to Yuemi in one breath, Anna seemed to feel a little thirsty, gave a gesture to the maid waiting at the door, and then pinched Yuemi's face like a mischief, "I said it a long time ago, in terms of the strength of painting, I am indeed inferior to you, but as a comic book author, I am your senior!" β
"Well, Anna, you have a point."
Yuemi nodded a little blushing, she really didn't think about it that much.
If you think about it like this, there is really no way to use Lin Lin's storyboard drafts without sufficient imagination. Yuemi didn't know what the storyboard drafts given by other original authors were, but for Lin Lin's storyboard drafts, Yuemi basically had to redraw them, because there was really no way to use them directly.
Although she knew that Lin Lin was actually trying to practice behind her back, it was probably because she really didn't have the talent in this area, and she had little effect
"Hmph, now you know I'm amazing! So call me a senior to listen? β
Hearing Tsukimi's words, Anna laughed proudly as if she had cocked her tail.
"I refuse."
"Cut, scream, satisfy my vanity!"
"Too shy, I refuse!"
"Cut"
In the whispered chatter between Yuemi and Anna, Fu Mengzhu seemed to have conceived the picture, and the hand holding the pen quickly swiped.
The two who noticed her also stopped talking quietly and did not disturb her.
Time passed minute by minute, and just as Anna was about to ask the maid to pour a new pot of tea, Fu Mengzhu put down his paintbrush and exhaled.
"I'm done, please take a look!"
