Chapter 29 Division of Labor

"Good luck, I met a good editor." Shen Xin was a little confused about what this girl was thinking.

Yan Yan's brows moved a little. After being in contact with Shen Xin for so long, she felt an indescribable comfort in her heart when she heard Shen Xin praise her in front of other people.

"Her name is Ruan Ying. She used to draw cartoons for a while, and now she is working as a professional assistant."

"Oh, hello." Shen Xin didn't expect Yan Qu to find a cartoonist, and she was overjoyed.

If someone with experience serves as an assistant, his pressure will be much easier.

"Ruan Ying is now a professional assistant, and she needs her help for other serializations. Qiao Yu is also studying with other teachers. They may not work here for a period of time within a week." Yan Kun reminded.

"I see." Zheng Ke said in response.

A professional assistant like Ruan Ying must be expensive. And Shen Xin is short of funds now, it is better to hire two assistants to help, and then consider other things when there are sufficient funds.

Besides, Shen Xin also has her own little thoughts.

So far, he is still a student. Although the university has a lot of free time, he still has to go to some important classes—such as the class of the class teacher—from time to time, otherwise, he might be "hanged" at some point When the wind chimes.

"Well, I also have some classes to attend. If I'm not here, there's no need for you to come." Shen Xin suggested.

Qiao Yu and Ruan Ying nodded repeatedly and discussed.

It was finalized, and on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and evenings, and all day Saturday and Sunday, two people would come and help. Considering that the first chapter has as many as 55 pages, and the color manga needs to be drawn, the progress will be much slower. Qiao Yu and Ruan Ying decided that they will work overtime in the evenings of the last week.

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

The background is the most complicated of all auxiliary work. Moreover, if the person who draws the background is changed frequently, the style of the comics will also be inconsistent. Therefore, generally speaking, the background will be drawn by one person. As for the outline and effect line , blackening, whitewashing, pasting net paper, etc., and then hand it over to other people.

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

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

For Ruan Ying, the background shouldn't be a problem.

"I have already marked the black and white manuscripts, and marked the places that need to be blacked out or dotted on the Internet. I will leave the rest to you for the time being." Shen Xin returned to the desk and picked up the paper. The finished line draft was handed over to Ruan Ying and Qiao Yu, "Please, please."

The line draft has been ink-lined, and in the blank space, Shen Xin also left a mark with a blue pencil.

Generally speaking, if you use a blue pencil to write on the manuscript paper, it will not be printed unless you use too much force. It is for this reason that cartoonists will not use an eraser after marking with a blue pencil.

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

"It turns out that the teacher's drawing skills are so good. Is it really just a student?" Ruan Ying raised her eyebrows when she saw the line draft, "If I can draw such a line draft, I should be able to be a cartoonist."

"It's not only people who can draw well can be a cartoonist." Shen Xin said with a smile.

"That's right...but I haven't been able to find a good script." Ruan Ying looked regretful.

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

He originally thought that Shen Xin was able to contribute because of the story. Now when I saw the line draft, I suddenly realized that the editor took a fancy to Shen Xin's artist.

Ruan Ying, as a professional assistant,

After getting the drawing, the approximate workload has been estimated, and Qiao Yu has also received training from a professional school, so there is no problem adapting to it.

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

"How's the progress of the coloring page?" Yan Kun saw Shen Xin return to his seat, and walked over.

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

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

Fortunately, marker pens are not required for every sentence.

If he hadn't been on the front page because of the first chapter, he wouldn't have spent so much trouble.

When Yan Fang heard that Shen Xin had drawn two colored manuscripts, he couldn't wait to find them.

The coloring pages that Shen Xin drew are actually two portraits of Yizhi.

Because it is a close-up of the character, the artist draws it more delicately and takes more time.

First of all, in order to highlight the authenticity, Shen Xin took the drawing of the characters very seriously. On the first page, almost all the patterns of the sweater that Iori was wearing were drawn. Whether it is the background of the character, or the shape 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, are all expressed by Shen Xin in different shades of color. The connection between the swimsuit and swimming trunks and the skin, as well as the elasticity of the muscles, are also vividly reflected in Shen Xin's brush.

Different from the magnificence in Chen Zijiao's pens, Shen Xin's coloring pages are more realistic, which complements the style of the entire comic.

"Beautiful... If I didn't know in advance that this is a cartoon, I would have thought it was a real photo?" Yan Yu felt his hand holding the manuscript tremble.

Shen Xin, it should be... No, she must be the most talented among all the cartoons she has come into contact with.

"It's impossible for me to have all the coloring pages at this level, otherwise, the speed will not be able to catch up, and the coloring pages at the back all have grids, so it is impossible for me to draw so delicately." Shen Xin stretched her waist and explained.

"Don't worry, although I'm not a cartoonist, I know these things well... Now imagine that after the catalog are these three photos, readers will definitely feel this strong impact." Yan Yu put the coloring page back on the desktop , "I hope to receive good news from you soon."

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

"It's two weeks, I want to get the manuscript in advance."

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

"Got it." Shen Xin took out a marker pen and began to color Yizhi's hair.

Yan Fang was still in charge of other authors, so after staying in the studio for a while, he bid farewell to Shen Xin, and the whole studio immediately fell silent, leaving only the sound of the dipped pen rubbing against the paper.

This atmosphere lasted until noon, when Qiao Yu and Ruan Ying went to have lunch, and Shen Xin drew the third page of color draft before stopping her pen.

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

Shen Xin stretched, stood up from her seat, came to Qiao Yu and Ruan Ying's workbench, glanced at the sketches they were working on, and immediately became interested.
