Chapter 191

It's not difficult to draw a cartoon's sub mirror. A few professional cartoonists can draw a cartoon's sub mirror in an hour without ensuring the quality. Although Harvey is not a professional cartoonist, he has the experience of shooting movies and more powerful thinking ability. Drawing a cartoon's sub mirror is easy.

Lily is in the alchemy workshop. She is very noisy. She often plays with her and suddenly bumps into Harvey's arms. Harvey acts like a coqueter and interrupts his thoughts. Harvey has built a temporary office in the endless library. It's easy to find what information he needs. It took ten minutes to finish the first scene of "ice and snow", with a total of five pages. The ice transport team was singing in the frozen lake to cut the ice. When they went back, the scene just stopped on the close-up overlooking the whole dream city.

Harvey found a total of seven painters in Rodney art street, each of whom offered a high salary of more than five barons. These seven painters were all good at different fields. But all the painters, including Shirley, have no experience in comics. Harvey needs to write a clear division of labor in the content of comics. According to the information he has obtained, he should assign who depicts the background, who depicts the characters, and who paints the colors.

Harvey estimated that he would spend a few days in the studio teaching these artists how to draw cartoons. Harvey has never eaten pork himself. At least he has seen the pig run. He has seen it many times.

Niya got out of the carriage, carefully lifted her painting kit and put it on the ground, raised her hand and said, "wait, wait a minute."

The groom sitting on the top of the carriage looked at Niya arranging her hair in front of the glass of the carriage for no reason. She had short hair that was neck length. Maybe it was because of neglect of care that many parts of her hair turned up and looked slovenly. She was wearing a dark green Italian long skirt with low chest and narrow waist. The skirt was embroidered with cross patterns. The skirt decoration had obvious folk style, It's the most expensive of all her clothes, and she only wears it on holidays or at fancy parties.

To make sure there was nothing wrong with her appearance, Niya carefully went to Harvey's house. First, she looked around curiously, coughed with her little hand, and practiced the greeting words in a silent voice.

"Miss Shirley, I like your work very much

"Ms. Shirley, my name is Niya Angelo. Nice to meet you

"Mr. Adrian, I was yesterday you

She lingered at the door for a long time and finally summoned up the courage to knock. A middle-aged woman in a traditional black dress was opening the door. She was the housekeeper arranged by William, who was mainly responsible for managing the interior of the studio.

"You are miss Niya Angelo, aren't you? Please come in. Everyone is waiting for you." The housekeeper bowed slightly.

"For a long time?" Niya's face became stiff. She walked in timidly and hesitated. "I'm not late. I'm coming at the time Mr. Adrian said."

"The master will explain the details to you, but you need to remember that your scope of work is only studio, and you can't step into the scope of the second floor."

The housekeeper gave her a cold glance and continued to lead the way. There was a room available at the corner of the corridor on the first floor. Yesterday, he was in a hurry to decorate it. The main purpose was to buy the tools needed by the painter, including the workbench, the drawing board, the drawing paper, the paint, and so on. Niya walks in with the help of the housekeeper and sees that the spacious room is full of eight people, including Harvey and Shirley. Harvey is explaining something with a piece of paper.

Niya's arrival attracts everyone's attention. She's a little embarrassed to hold up her skirt and bow to everyone. After she looks at Shirley gently, she only feels hot. It's the first time that she really sees Shirley. She forgets how to react to her burnt head. She is one of Shirley's loyal fans, including Shirley's paintings and Shirley's role as Merseyside Tess in count of Monte Cristo. The overlap of the two impressions perfectly conforms to the image of a female painter in her heart.

Harvey looked at her bewildered appearance and gave a dumb smile. After all, she was a little girl, so he said, "please come in, Miss Niya. Since everyone is here, please introduce yourself first."

Harvey stood up: "I believe you all know my name. My purpose of creating this studio is very simple. It's to launch a new form of" book ", which takes painting as text and text as auxiliary. This is Ms. Shirley, the chief writer of the studio. If I have any questions about painting, I can ask her for advice. "

Shirley stood up and bowed to the painters.

Niya, who just came here, stammered to introduce herself: "my name is Niya Angelo. I'm an apprentice in Fergus studio. I'm good at sketching and often have sketchboards for making murals."

"Stuart Keith is good at painting and coloring."

The young male painter said humbly, "I'm Shaw Campbell, Mark's assistant in the studio. I'm not good at it, but I have a little research on oil painting and sketch."

A female painter came forward and bowed to introduce herself: "I'm Jennie Taylor. I'm good at sketching backgrounds."

After the introduction of the nine members of the studio, Harvey coughed to attract attention and began to talk about his requirements.

"As you all know, mirage, as a new thing, is undoubtedly a great success. Now you are repeating the whole process and creating a new cultural form. I call it comics. Since ancient times, most novels have pictures. These pictures can only show the most basic information of the novel. Then I came up with an idea that simple and straightforward pictures should be used to express information, and words should be used to make up for the lack of pictures. Well, it's not my personal guess, because this is the most primitive way of human communication

"Then look at this painting first." Harvey showed the original cartoon that he had finished drawing overnight: "this painting is my draft. It shows the process of a small team collecting and transporting ice. Pay attention to the action and manner of each character in this painting. Here is the scene where they are singing to extract ice, What information can you read in this sketch? "

The painters looked at each other. Niya stretched out her small head and looked at the mirror curiously: "it's cold?"

"This is also a part, but there is no element depicting the cold weather in this simple sub mirror, and this part is what you need to complete, including snow and ice. It is presented in the simplest but rigorous form, which is very similar to phantom. Phantom is the scene of shooting simulation, and cartoon is the scene of creating imagination."

Niya blushed and felt Harvey's suit. Other painters nodded their heads. The concept of comics is still too avant-garde in this oil painting world.

Harvey shrugs, anticipates the result, and starts to assign work. Shirley draws the original figure, Niya completes it, Jennie Taylor draws the background, Shaw Campbell paints it, and so on. Every process needs Harvey's detailed explanation. Painters can just copy. In fact, even in the modern comic industry, there is a similar situation. People who can make plots are not good painters, and those who draw well do not have the talent to think about plots.

Harvey has seen a similar work "dream eater", which tells the story of two teenagers chasing their dreams to become cartoonists. One of them is good at painting, and the other is good at designing plots. Among the comic works Harvey came into contact with, "one punch Superman" is also a typical one. The plot of the original one is very good, but the painters are just like children's graffiti. So the original version came into being, and then the comic version of "one punch Superman" was created by cooperating with Harvey Murata.

Harvey is equivalent to one, the original author of one punch Superman. Although the group of painters he hired are only half a dozen in the comic industry, they can be regarded as experienced painters. It should not be a big problem to paint step by step.
