My Cartoonist Guide

Chapter 28: Assistant is coming

   The whole room does not seem to have been unoccupied for a long time.

  The brown wooden floor was clean and bright, as if it had just been cleaned, and there was no dust or mold in the room.

   This studio is very large, and it should have been remodeled from a three-bedroom and one-living room. There are four desks in the living room, two desks are placed with drawing boards, and the other two are placed with writing desks.

"This is where the assistants work." Yan Fu pointed to the four tables in the living room. "Although there are only two people for the time being, in case the work is tense or "Y\'s" catches fire, maybe we will find other assistants, and so will we. Take precautions. In addition, the printer and computer are in the corner for easy printing or processing of photos. You can also send me the name by fax, but I have to pick up the original manuscript by myself."

"no problem."

   "Your studio is in the next room, and the other two rooms are bedrooms. If someone is late and can't catch the subway or the shuttle bus, they can rest here." Yan Fu led Shen Xin and gave a brief introduction to the room.

   Although standing downstairs, I think this building is rather dilapidated, but the decoration inside is what Shen Xin likes. It is simple and tidy, with no extra accessories, and air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines are also relatively complete. In addition, there is also a balcony outside the living room.

   Hair dryer and clothes drying are very good.

   "Just ask if you have any more requests." After Yan Fu returned to the living room, before he had time to rest, he asked Shen Xin again.

   "I want to lift my desk out." Shen Xin asked, pointing to No matter's desk.

   "Why?" Yan Fu wondered.

  Sometimes, the assistant sometimes needs some personal affairs and needs to call to communicate. Whether it is intentional or not, it is easy to influence other people. For this reason, many cartoonists want to be separated from their assistants.

"If I and my assistants are separated by a wall, it is easy to create a gap. Small problems in the drawing will also be retained because of the existence of the wall and door, which reduces communication. It is better to let me and the assistants be together. If you have any questions, Everyone can discuss directly."

   "So." Yan Fu nodded slightly, rolled up his sleeves, "Come on, I'll help you."

   "You?" Shen Xin curled his lips, a face of disbelief.

   "I know you don't believe it." Yan Fu didn't force it. Instead, he took out his mobile phone, dialed a call and asked where the other party was. After hanging up, he said to Shen Xin, "You wait a moment."

   Shen Xin looked at Yan Fu suspiciously, not knowing why, but soon, he heard heavy footsteps coming from the corridor.

what happened?

   Shen Xin hurriedly walked to the door, but saw eight young people each carrying a stack of books on the fifth floor.

   "It's all things you like." Yan Fu turned his head and said.

what?

   Shen Xin is a little puzzled, can't figure out what kind of books he likes.

   Soon, after eight people entered the house, they put the book on the floor, and Shen Xin almost cursed when he saw the book on the floor.

   Among the eight stacks of books, one stack is "Pink Circle" and one stack is sketches of the human body.

   Do you like these things?

   Shen Xin can't argue with his mouth now, and he doesn't look at these things because he likes it.

   Feeling Shen Xin's "unfriendly" gaze, Yan Fu turned his head away without showing off.

In addition to "Pink Circle" and human sketches, the batch of books sent by    also included some comic-related books, including how to access the Internet, how to draw backgrounds, and even romance novels and books on scripting.

   Yan Fu also paid a lot of money in order to ensure that Shen Xin can create comics smoothly.

   But the problem is, he doesn't necessarily have time to read these.

   Yan Fu instructed the porter to move the desk out of the study and put it near the window. At the same time, Shen Xin also stuffed the books into the bookshelf in the study.

   After the first day of carrying work was over, Shen Xin moved his shoulders, a little sore. However, the results were not bad. His studio was transformed into a small living room and a small study. He was considered to have a place for hospitality, and his working place was moved to the living room, with a lot of vision.

   At the time of parting, Yan Fu assured Shen Xin that he would find a suitable assistant for Shen Xin as soon as possible.

   said it was very fast. Actually, Shen Xin also knew that it was not easy to find it within a week. Before that, the drawing of color pages fell on him, and the work of copying drafts and tracing lines was carried out in an orderly manner.

   The first 25 pages are color drafts, so when Shen Xin draws, whether it is manuscript paper or ink, he needs to buy special.

   Ordinary ink will fade when it encounters water, so when drawing a color manuscript, you should choose water-resistant ink, and in order to cooperate with it, manga artists will also choose manuscript paper for the cover.

   It took three or four days for Shen Xin to drew the line draft of the first episode. Schools also opened during this time.

Xi Muxun officially became a high school student. Shen Xin decided to take a student loan after thinking twice. "Y\'s" hasn't been serialized yet, and there is no draft fee, and the consumables for comics are also a lot of expense. Taking these factors into account, Shen Xin can only delay the tuition for a period of time, and then pay the tuition after the manuscript fee is down.

   Shen Xin only went to school on the first day of school and went to a second-hand bookstore to buy textbooks for the second grade. (Note)

After   , he never went to school again. Instead, he stayed in the studio and worked hard to draw color manuscripts.

   "咚咚……"

   "Please come in." Shen Xin, who was painting at his desk, heard someone knock on the door~lightnovelpub.net~ and said casually.

   The door was opened. After Yan Fu pushed the door in, he saw Shen Xin who had just raised his head and waved hello.

   "Sister Yan, please come in." Shen Xin also stood up from his seat.

   "You two come in too?" Yan Fu slightly waved to the two people behind him, and Shen Xin moved his gaze behind Yan Fu.

   These two people are relatively young, they should be in their 20s or 30s.

   The boy has long hair, deep sunken eyes, fair skin, and scum on his lips and chin. His height is only about 1.7 meters, a little shorter than Shen Xin.

  The girls wear ponytails and freckles on their cheeks. They look quiet and quiet, and they look a little bigger than boys.

   Yan Fu pointed to the long-haired boy and said, "His name is Qiao Yu, a student of Yunhai Comics College. He just graduated this year. He originally wanted to work in the comics industry, but now he wants to be an assistant for a while and gain experience."

   "Oh, hello, my name is Shen Xin." Shen Xin and Qiao Yu shook hands.

   Due to the development of the comics industry, some organizations will hire some teachers to teach comics enthusiasts the comic skills and comics knowledge, but due to the different resources of the school, so they can find teachers of different levels. Moreover, these schools do not teach students how to write scripts.

   Therefore, many of the students who graduated from the comics school are semi-finished products, and in terms of basic skills, such as sketching and sketching, they are not as good as professional students like Shen Xin.

   "The teacher is so young." Qiao Yu said softly.

   "I'm still a student at school." Shen Xin explained quickly.

   The girl heard that Shen Xin was a student at school, she couldn't help but glanced at Shen Xin, "Are you a student at school? So young, you are already a serial cartoonist."
