Chapter Thirty: Xi Muzhen's Little Secret
The background difficulty of the first chapter is moderate, and the slightly more complicated scene is the school and Yigui's home.
For professional assistants, this level of background is not difficult, and many grids have a lot of blank space, and some scenes use dot paper to enhance the atmosphere. Considering these aspects, the drawing of the scene is greatly simplified up.
Even though the difficulty was not too great, Ruan Ying did not slack off in drawing the background, and even exceeded Shen Xin's expectations. In particular, the grasp of the sense of space, as well as the perspective of buildings and characters, were handled well.
She really deserves to be a professional assistant. If I can hire her as a full-time assistant, my pressure should be relieved a lot.
Of course, these are just Shen Xin's random thoughts, he even owes the tuition fees now, and there is no extra money.
As for Qiao Yu...
Shen Xin came to Qiao Yu's workbench again and carefully read the manuscripts he had handled.
In the first chapter, more dot paper is used.
Clothes, backgrounds, shadows, inner activities and many other places have used dot paper, and Qiao Wei also reflected the knowledge he learned in comic school in the original manuscript.
As for the level, Shen Xin can only say that it is not bad, there is no need to rework and redo.
The blackening and whitening are mainly on the hair. Compared with pasting on dot paper, Qiao Yu is better at this aspect, expressing the luster of the hair.
In the early stage of the first chapter, there are not many places where effect lines are used, so Shen Xin can't see his level of drawing effect lines for the time being. But at the end of the first episode, especially when Yi Gui used a wooden stick to fight off the boys besieging the training room, he would use a lot of effect lines. By that time, Qiao Yu's overall strength should be able to be seen .
After reading the sketches 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, with the passage of time, the proficiency of the two assistants The speed will increase, the cooperation will be more skillful, and the creation time of each episode should be shorter.
Although there are not many assistants, Shen Xin is very optimistic about the prospect of "Y's".
On the first day, Qiao Yu and Ruan Ying stayed busy until nine o'clock before leaving the studio. After Shen Xin drew a coloring page, she also put away her brush.
From work to home, it takes half an hour by subway.
Originally, Shen Xin thought that before the first episode was drawn, there would be a spare room anyway, but Xi Muzhen protested, and he had no way to refute these protests.
"If you lived in a studio, you would eat instant noodles three times a day, and you wouldn't know how to take care of your body."
Although Shen Xin promised that she would not do this, she couldn't hold back Xi Muzhen's disbelief, after all she was caught not long ago.
Of course, besides the reason of "instant noodles", there is another more important reason. He is not worried about letting Xi Muzhen live at home alone.
After arriving home, the room was pitch black, Shen Xin turned on the light in the living room, the hall was empty, but the light in Xi Muzhen's room was still on.
"I'm back." Shen Xin said towards the door of Xi Muzhen's room.
"oh!"
Xi Muzhen's voice came from the room, followed by a burst of noise. After about ten or twenty seconds, the door was opened, and Xi Muzhen walked out of the room.
Xi Muzhen was wearing loose pajamas, and when he came to Shen Xin's side, there was a hint of fragrance, he should have just washed his hair.
"Brother Xin, wait a moment, I'll heat up the rice for you." After saying that, Xi Muzhen was about to go to the kitchen.
"No need, it's hot, there's nothing wrong with having some cold rice. But you, hurry up and get in the house. It's so hot, you're going to sweat again later." Shen Xin waved her hand and entered the kitchen first, serving the rice and vegetables After coming out, Xi Muzhen also poured him a glass of boiled water and put it on the table.
Shen Xin glanced at Xi Muzhen's hand, and found that her hand was covered with ink.
"What's wrong with your hands?" Shen Xin asked puzzled.
"Hand?" Xi Muzhen looked down at his hand, and called out subconsciously. Then he suddenly remembered Shen Xin sitting beside him, so he quickly put his hand behind him, "That... the pen broke just now, so the pen in my hand Just got some…”
"Really? You're not practicing dip pens, are you?" Shen Xin asked suspiciously.
"How is it possible? I don't even know what a dip pen is, how can I practice?" Xi Muzhen shook his head quickly, denying it.
"That's good...study is more important." Shen Xin urged.
Xi Muzhen's grades are excellent, and Shen Xin doesn't want her to scatter her energy to other places.
The car accident a year ago had a great impact on Xi Muzhen. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it changed her life. Of course, if it wasn't like this, he wouldn't have had the chance to cross over.
Therefore, he also hopes that Xi Muzhen can have a good future.
"Understood." Xi Muzhen nodded again and again, "Brother Xin, if there is nothing else, I will go back to the room first."
"Well, let's go quickly?" Shen Xin put the vegetables on the rice and put the rice into his mouth.
Xi Muzhen returned to his room, closed the door with his backhand, and patted his chest lightly, "It's really dangerous, I was almost discovered... I was so careless."
After feeling for a long time, Xi Muzhen returned to the desk.
There is a page of waste manuscript paper on the table, and in front of the manuscript paper is a bottle of ink with a writing brush on it.
After Xi Muzhen sat down, he dipped the brush in the ink, carefully held the brush, and painted black ink along the line draft. At the same time, he controlled the force of the brush to spread the ink evenly in the outline of the figure.
She doesn't know how to paint, let alone paint the background, but learning to paint black, she thinks there is no problem. If you have more time, then learn how to paste dot paper.
Help Shen Xin as much as possible, this is her little secret.
Shen Xin went to the studio again early the next morning to continue drawing the original manuscript.
Just after noon, Yan Qu called again to inquire about the progress of the first episode. When she learned that it was going on in an orderly manner, she also let out a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Li beside her looked at Yan Fang.
"It's nothing, I'm waiting for Shen Xin's manuscript." Yan Yu said.
"Uh, do you think Shen Xin can really fight against "Shaky"? It's already the fourth episode, "Shaky" just didn't get a good response in the second episode, and the other three episodes are all first." Xiaoli mentioned " On the verge of falling", I was a little excited.
Although this comic is the signature of the enemy magazine, as a comic lover, seeing such an excellent comic still makes Xiaoli a little bit moved.
"Haven't you already seen the name of "Y's"?" Xi Muzhen asked suspiciously.
"The name is good-looking, and I also like the story of "Y's" more, but what the magazine publishes is not the name, but the original manuscript. To be honest, I personally think that the original manuscript of Chen Zijiao is of higher quality. The page is really beautiful, I haven't seen such a gorgeous coloring page for a long time." Xiaoli said seriously.
"Then let me tell the truth, the original manuscript of "Y's" is definitely beyond your imagination." Yan Lin had an inexplicable confidence in Shen Xin.
"If you put it this way, I'm looking forward to the first episode 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 expression changed, he slowly stood up from his seat, took a deep breath, and walked towards the editor-in-chief with his head down.
