Chapter 204: Assistant's surprise

() "His name is Ma Ning, he has a certain background in painting, and he has published works in "Young Dreamer". However, he has not drawn any comics suitable for serialization since then. Now he is temporarily working as an assistant, while studying while contributing." Wang Wen Hong and Gao Hang had nothing to say and forced themselves to change the subject.

"Hello." Ma Ning bowed slightly, his face a little restrained.

"Everyone work hard together. By the way, have you been an assistant before?"

"After a while." Ma Ning said.

"Then trouble you to paste the dotted paper and the effect line."

"Yes, no problem." Ma Ning nodded immediately.

Gao Hang also came over at this time and told Ma Ning about the precautions related to the dotted paper, mainly the corresponding relationship between the dotted paper and the mark of the manuscript.

With the two assistants all present, "Gossip Soul" can also be on the right track.

Unlike the drawing of "Y\'s", the drawing progress of "Soul of the Game" is not only related to Shen Xin's drawing speed, but also influenced by Xie Shiqi. Fortunately, Xie Shiqi did not delay too much, and commissioned it on the third day. Wang Wenhong sent the chess book, and under each chess book, which page and the number of mirrors to use are marked.

In addition, Xie Shiqi also sent photos of the chess club and the Go classroom. The scenes in them were similar to the background of "The Soul of the Game". Considering being close to reality, Shen Xin decided to use the architecture in the photo as the background.

Two days later, Xie Shiqi once again commissioned Wang Wenhong to send a stack of photos. This time the photo was a panoramic photo of the "Xie Chengbo Go Dojo". Almost all of them were taken from the inside out.

Shen Xin printed out two copies of these photos, and gave one to Gao Hang, so that he could take time to practice copying the background, and the other for himself.

Although the background is mainly drawn by Gao Hang, he must first draw the line draft before handing over the manuscript to Gao Hang, including the background of the comics.

Furthermore, it is very risky to give all the troublesome work to the assistant. Any assistant will leave the studio for some last resort.

If Gao Hang resigns to him, he can't stop drawing the manuscript just because he is not familiar with the background, right?

Ruan Ying and Qiao Yu were dug, only one year later, he did not forget.

Shen Xin stretched out, touched the coffee on the table, suddenly found that it was empty, and threw it into the trash can.

Gao Hang downstairs is drawing the background of the Ming Dynasty, which is antique and has a sense of elegance.

After being separated from him for three or four months, Gao Hang's strength has increased a lot. It seems that Gao Hang has not slackened in the past few months.

As for Ma Ning, he is mainly responsible for dot paper and effect lines.

The dotted paper used now is transparent dotted paper, one side is sticky, and the other side is printed with dots. Therefore, sticking the dotted paper is a test of the assistant's method of using the screen cutter. Sometimes in order to pursue the effect, it is necessary to use techniques such as scraping and folding the screen.

The effect line is also not simple. In addition to the concentrated line, there are assembly lines and curved effect lines, and there are even dark surroundings with white high light in the middle. In addition, if you want to draw the ideal effect line, the assistant must be proficient in mastering it. Use of ruler and cloud ruler.

If the basic skills of the painter are not solid, the effect lines and dot paper may not be able to do well.

Shen Xin looked around for a few minutes, and then judged that Ma Ning was not as good as Lu Ning in this regard, but he was better than Qiao Yu.

However, just like the cartoonist's strength will improve, the assistant's level will also improve over time, so he doesn't worry about Ma Ning's strength at all.

Shen Xin put a can of coffee in front of the two people, and said: "If you are tired, take a break."

"Mr. Shen, I remember you rarely take a break." Gao Hang opened the coffee and looked at Shen Xin with a smile.

"Isn't it not serialized yet? When it's officially serialized, it's estimated that there will be less rest time." Shen Xin yawned.

Maning was holding the canned coffee, looking down at the drawing, and silently, after ten seconds of tangling, he raised his head, "Teacher..."

"Huh?" Shen Xin, who was about to turn around, turned around and looked at Ma Ning in surprise.

"Teacher, what exactly can I do to serialize on "ComicFuture"? I think I have done a good job, why... can't I pass the serialization of "ComicFuture"?" Ma Ning looked solemn and looked up at Shen Xin.

"I don't know." Shen Xin shook his head.

"Huh? Don't know?" Ma Ning was a little confused, "But, you have already serialized in "ComicFuture"..."

"Yeah." Shen Xin raised his head slightly, "but I was serializing in other magazines before, and it came to ComicFuture this year."

"Then you were in "MangaFly" before?" Maning speculated.

"No." Shen Xin shook his head, "In a second-tier magazine, right? "NewWorld", I guess you haven't heard of it?"

""NewWorld"? Some familiar." Ma Ning frowned, "I remember last year's comics festival, "NewWorld" cartoonist seems to have won an award...Ah, I remember, you are the newcomer of last year king'!"

Ma Ning let out a surprised sound, and Shen Xin smiled reluctantly, a little bit embarrassed.

In the sea of ​​clouds, no one would show this kind of surprise.

The reason why cartoonists in the two places behave differently is related to the comic atmosphere of the two places.

Every year, there are countless rookie cartoonists who make their debut in Hongchuan, and the leaders among them are no less powerful than well-known cartoonists. Therefore, Ma Ning is very clear about the difficulty of winning the "Rookie Award".

Take the serialized "Hunting Abyss" for example, it has stabilized third place in "ComicFuture", but even with such strength, it still failed to win the "Newcomer Award", but lost to "Y\'s" .

When Ma Ning knew that Shen Xin was the author of "Y\'s", he was full of surprise.

At the same time, he is a newcomer with serialization as the goal, so he has a little hope in his heart.

"Then ~www.readwn.com~ teacher, how do you think a cartoonist can be serialized?" Ma Ning asked impatiently as if he had caught a life-saving straw.

how could I know?

Shen Xin is also not clear.

"Ahem...Do you really want to be a cartoonist?" Shen Xin asked.

Ma Ning nodded repeatedly, "I dream of serialization."

"Although saying this will undermine your confidence, I would like to say in advance that drawing comics is a gambling. If you succeed, you can indeed make a lot of money, but if you fail, you really lose everything. This is not Alarming talk or attacking potential opponents. In fact, there are many people who aspire to become cartoonists and eventually disappear into the crowd."

"I know... but I... I don't want to give up yet." Ma Ning showed determination.

"Then think of a good story... an interesting story. After all, no matter comics, novels, movies, they are just the carrier of the story. Only a good story can attract readers." Shen Xin said seriously.
