Tokyo Police

v11 Chapter 21: Housewarming

"Yu Zijiang, congratulations on the housewarming!"

When Lin Xiuyi brought Mingmei and Reina to Yuko's house, Yuko was busy in the kitchen. . The update is the fastest and her new home is almost ready at this time.

Because the apartment itself has been decorated very well, Yuzi is not too picky in this regard, so the only thing Yuko has to do is to buy furniture and electrical appliances according to her own preferences. As for the belongings at the original residence, except for some of them to be moved to the newly rented office, the rest of the royal son did not intend to bring them here. After all, does the new home have to have a new atmosphere?

"I'm sorry, I haven't had time to buy kitchen utensils, so we can only eat beef hot pot at night, everyone is fine!"

Yu Zi asked Lin Xiuyi and others apologetically.

"No problem, then let's help out together!"

Rena put down the gift in her hand, and then walked towards the kitchen with Mingmei. Going to take over the preparations for Yuko just now.

To celebrate Yuko's move to a new residence, Yuko's mother specially sent fresh vegetables and beef from her hometown. In this case, nothing is more suitable than wagyu hot pot. However, in Lin Xiuyi's opinion, it is a bit extravagant to use those precious Matsusaka beef with the pattern of Dali City to make hot pot. But for Yuko, there is no special feeling.

"Wow, Xiu Yijun actually bought the Galaxy Railway, is that the kind of wine that the owner of the shop we often go to refuses to open?"

"Yes, but it's better to freeze it in the refrigerator now. The little brother who sold the wine told me that the correct way to drink is to freeze it into a smoothie-like texture! Thanks to you, we are today. You can just taste one bottle in the evening, and you can keep the remaining two bottles at home and in the office, which can be considered a good luck!"

After listening to Lin Xiuyi's arrangement, Yuzi nodded obediently. Recently, she has been busy with moving house, and Lin Xiuyi happened to help her a lot. In addition, I lived with Mingmei and Rena for a while before, so everyone should find an opportunity to get together.

Because it is still early for dinner, and ice wine also needs a first-class time. So after processing the vegetables that Yuko's mother sent from her hometown, everyone sat at the kitchen table and chatted.

"Mingmei-chan, this is for you!"

As Yuko spoke, she took out a beautiful picture album from the outside drawer and handed it to Mingmei. After Mingmei opened it, she was surprised to find that it was actually her own portrait.

"Ah... Thank you so much, Mizu-chan, the painting is really good!"

Mingmei took it in her hand and said to Yuko in love. Yuko is also very happy to see Mingmei likes it. Although Yuko is a cartoonist by profession, it does not mean that she can only draw cartoons. Sometimes it is quite interesting to use people around her as models to practice her skills.

After Mingmei had finished reading the dozen or so paintings on the album, Yuzi took the album over, and then signed her autograph in the blank space on the cover. In this way, this picture book has become a precious collection of cartoonist Fukuda Miko. This is what Yuko's fans dream of!

"Yu Zi... can you also sketch? I didn't expect it!"

Seeing the gift from Yuzi, Lin Xiuyi said in surprise.

"When I was a child, I liked to draw, so my mother once invited a special teacher to come back to teach me Western painting. However, I was attracted by the cartoons collected by my sister, so I gradually made cartoonists as my goal. However, after all, it is something that has been practiced by hard work, so it will still be more or less."

"Is it Western painting? That should be difficult, right?"

Hearing Yuzi mentioned Western painting, Lin Xiuyi asked with some concern.

"Well, it's really difficult. Still lifes are fine, but if there are characters and landscapes, it will take a lot of effort. Just using pencils to make a draft requires repeated revisions countless times. The first thing you need to pay attention to is the picture. The ratio of them, thinking about it now, really suffered a lot at that time.”

Hearing Yuzi's introduction to the creation process of Western painting, Lin Xiuyi became even more interested. So he went on to ask:

"Excuse me, is the sketch you just said the first step in creation?"

"Huh?...Hey! Why is Xiu Yijun also interested?"

Seeing Lin Xiuyi's sudden interest, Yuzi couldn't help feeling a little surprised. In particular, what Lin Xiuyi asked about was the Western painting techniques she had not learned at home. This made Yuko even more curious.

"Well... I recently encountered a commission, but I still can't determine whether it is a case or not. It is related to a Western painting..."

"Eh? Sounds interesting! Can you tell me?"

Yu Zi asked Lin Xiuyi with great interest.

"I'm afraid this won't work, but can you tell me how Western paintings of human portraits are generally created?"

"Is this? Actually, I don't really know much about it. After all, I gave up halfway through my studies. But the general steps are to use a pencil to draw a sketch first, this is an outline, and then continue to use a pencil to draw the detailed sketch to be drawn, It is something similar to the sketch you mentioned. If these two steps are successful~lightnovelpub.net~, you can start coloring later. I usually use a layer of light background color first. Then I start from the local area. A little bit of finished work..."

Yuzi introduced Lin Xiuyi roughly based on his memory. Speaking of which, Yuko's family is actually quite good, so at a very young age, he had the money to hire specialized teachers to teach what he was interested in. Lin Xiuyi was not so lucky. Lin Xiuyi, who has never been exposed to Western painting, is actually hard to imagine what the creation process of Western painting is like.

"It seems that it's not so easy for Miko-san to become a cartoonist?"

Seeing Lin Xiuyi and Yuzi talking about Western painting with great interest, Mingmei, who was left out for a while, couldn't help but say with envy.

"Sorry, the incident I've been investigating recently is related to Western painting, so I couldn't help but inquire when I heard Yuko mentioned that he also studied Western painting."

"Mingmei-chan, Xiuichi-kun is the one who searched the first class. If he asks you about anything, it must be related to the crime. What is there to be happy about this kind of thing?"

Hearing that Yuko broke her own information, Mingmei lowered her head shyly.
