Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 387 Teach You To Draw? (4000 words)
It is true that Arisaki Nakano only studied painting for half a year.

The chance was that she saw the book "Basic Hand-painted Drawing Methods" that her younger brother brought back with him when he participated in the art club.

Maybe it's because she is really talented in painting, she just flipped through it, and then she became interested, and then she drew a picture casually - it made her brother who had just returned home grow his mouth, with an incredible expression on his face.

Therefore, when Higashinoji said that there was a problem with her painting, she was indeed a little unconvinced.

It seemed that he sensed what Yusaki Nakano was thinking, but Higashino Tsukasa on the other side didn't care, and just said directly:

"Miss Nakano, do you prefer to draw the right side view of the characters?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the sketches on the table.

On the desktop, the male figure sketched in black and white is turning his head to the right, squinting.

Very well drawn.

But it is also because the painting is very good. Higashinoji can see the problem in this painting at a glance - Nakano Arisaki is not very good at drawing characters on the left side, maybe the front view is also not good at it.

To be honest, this is actually a very common problem among some manga authors in Japan.

Not only is he not good at drawing the left view, but he is also not good at drawing scenes with multiple characters, and he is not good at drawing backgrounds.

As soon as they touch on these issues, the sense of space is chaotic, and the background buildings are full of clutter.
But human wisdom is always endless.

Those who are not good at drawing the right side of the face can simply draw a left side face on the back of the drawing paper—use a little more force to let the pen force pass through the paper, then turn the paper over and use the copy table to draw on the other side.

If you are not good at drawing the background, try not to draw the background. If you really want to draw, draw less background buildings.

If you are not good at drawing multiple characters, you can simply refer to other people's storyboards to copy the painting-this is much easier.

These are evil ways of drawing, but they are quite useful.

Many cartoon authors who really couldn't overcome it simply used these techniques.

Nakano Yusaki is probably such a player.

She is not good at drawing the left view of the characters, or the painting of the left side of the body, so she uses various methods to cover up this.

For example, adding something to the character's hand, so that the "center of gravity" of the whole picture will be changed, and she can draw it more naturally.

Including the "Chrysanthemum and Cat", the short-haired girl is holding an umbrella, squatting on the sidewalk, and the cat is holding a white chrysanthemum in its mouth
This is the standard way of using reference objects to attract people's attention, so that people subconsciously ignore the unnaturalness in the painting-ordinary people really don't notice it.

But Dong Yesi is obviously not an ordinary person, he can see the unnatural feeling in the painting at a glance.

And Nakano Yusaki didn't mean to hide anything, she simply admitted: "Yes."

Then she said a little incomprehensibly: "Is there any problem?"

The book "Basic Hand-painted Drawing Methods" taught a lot, but most of them were from the side. She followed the painting method for a long time, and she felt that it was not bad, but she couldn't learn the frontal painting method, so she learned it. I thought of a lot of crooked painting methods to fill this shortcoming.

To be honest, she was actually a little surprised when Dong Yesi pointed it out at this time.

You must know that this is the first time she has been pointed out to this mistake - even the art teacher in her school can't see her tricks!
But even if it was pointed out, Nakano Yusaki didn't think there was anything wrong with her painting method.

After all, it has been a habit for a long time.
"It's a bad habit."

Higashino Division said with a smile: "Miss Nakano, it is impossible for any animation production studio to accept an artist who can only draw side views."

"Huh? Can't you? But... But I've been drawing like this all the time, it's completely fine."

Nakano Arisaki opened her mouth, she fingered the drawing paper, and couldn't help muttering: "Ordinary people can't see it."

indeed.

Her concealment technique is very clever, even Dongyesi can feel the benefits of her 'cunning' painting method when she sees it - it really saves time and effort.

but--

"Miss Nakano, you can't keep drawing like this forever."

Seeing her, Dongyesi was still a little bit unwilling, and added: "But what if one day, the studio insists on you drawing a front view of a character?"

"You can't hide your shortcomings, Miss Nakano."

Tonoji said calmly.

"Well, I see!"

Nakano Yusaki didn't argue, just nodded vigorously.

The ponytail was flicking and flicking.

Mainly because she felt that there was really nothing to justify.

Tonoji was right.

Inadequacies will be exposed one day.

Things drawn with these crooked painting methods will be exposed one day, and it is definitely not a long-term solution.

So she won't argue.

To be a human being should at least be upright, this is Nakano Yusaki's idea.

Seeing Arisaki Nakano admitting his mistake so straightforwardly, Tsukasa Higashino felt a little relieved for no reason.

At first, Higashino thought that this little girl who came all the way from Hokkaido should belong to the impulsive type of person who doesn't go through her brain when she speaks and does things.

As a result, Nakano Yusaki seems quite sensible now.

You reason with her, as long as you are right, she will agree.

It's not like some little girls and boys, who are obviously wrong and are unwilling to admit their mistakes, like a child who quarrels stubbornly.

Now that Nakano Yusaki knew her mistake and her own flaws, it would be easy to reject her next.

Thinking of this, Higashino Division immediately said: "Now that I have understood my shortcomings, Ms. Nakano should work harder and strive to improve the shortcomings."

Before he finished speaking, Nakano Yusaki raised his head with sparkling eyes: "Is Mr. Higashino going to teach me how to draw?"

"Huh?" Dong Yesi was taken aback when he heard the other party's quick answer.

Then he was a little dumbfounded.

Why did Yusaki Nakano think of this?

Before he could answer, Yusaki Nakano on the other side spoke again: "Isn't Higashino-sensei's studio still recruiting an animator? Isn't there an apprenticeship for an animator? I can do it! I can also stay and study The kind that doesn’t require wages.”

She was very serious and didn't mean to be joking at all.

This made Dong Yesi a little confused.

According to Nakano Yusaki's artist, even if she is accepted, Higashino Studio can make a solid profit as a background original artist.

And if it is true as she said, she only studied painting for half a year
Then this is a talented painter, and it will definitely not be a loss if you accept it.

And Dongye Studio did have an announcement to recruit original painters.

After all, for the current Dongye studio, the manpower is just enough.

Not to mention that Arisaki Nakano doesn't need wages. Isn't this just a free job?

but--

Not to mention that Nakano Yusaki's guardian did not find out the situation.

Why is Nakano Yusaki so obsessed with Higashino Studio?

Speaking of which, what happened to her "repaying the kindness"?

The water in this has not yet been figured out, and even Dong Yesi did not jump to conclusions.

Fortunately, at this time, Yano Ryuichi, who had just been called out by Higashino Division to investigate the family situation of Nakano Yusaki, came back.

Yano Ryuichi hurriedly walked to the side of Higashino Division: "Mr. Higashino, I have already contacted Miss Nakano's family."

He looked a bit embarrassed: "But the situation is a bit complicated. I hope you can go and have a look."

The situation is complicated?

Dong Yesi was puzzled.

What's so complicated about this.

A girl in the first year of high school ran all the way from Hokkaido to Tokyo.

Generally speaking, shouldn't the family members be in a hurry?

Still complicated?
Is it possible that Nakano Yusaki's mother can still be like Nakano Yusaki?Support her daughter to come to Tokyo alone?

Tonoji was a little confused.

On the other side, Nakano Yusaki, who heard Yano Ryuichi's conversation, looked at him in disbelief.

I was still holding the pencil, but with a click, the pencil fell off.

Society is so sinister?

While I was having a heart-to-heart relationship with Mr. Dongye, you actually attacked me?Have you called my family yet?

Shameless!
Nakano Yusaki was indeed young, and he had never seen anything more sinister than this, so he could only blushed and stared angrily at Yano Ryuichi.

"Cough cough."

As if sensing Nakano Arisaki's resentful gaze, Yano Ryu coughed twice, expressing the hope that Higashino Tsukasa would go out and communicate with the other guardian.

Of course Higashino Division didn't hesitate, he simply walked out and put the phone in his hand:

"Hello? Hello, I'm Higashinoji, are you the guardian of Ms. Nakano Arisaki?"

"Ah, hello, I'm Yuko Nakano, and I'm Yusaki's grandma."

Arisaki Nakano's grandma.?

Higashino thought to himself, shouldn't it be the parents who handle this kind of thing at this time?

However, he didn't mean to pay attention to other people's family affairs, so he just said simply: "Hi, mother-in-law Tomoko, I'm Higashinoji, I think you should have talked with Yano-san just now, right? About your granddaughter is here in our studio matter."

"Well. Already know."

The old female voice with a strong Hokkaido accent coughed twice and replied.

Just at this time, Nakano Yusaki also came out, and she heard Higashino Tsukasa's voice, and hurried to the microphone: "Well! I'm already at the place, Grandma Tomoko, Higashino-sensei is very kind and handsome, looks like a Good man, don't worry! I will definitely repay the kindness before going back!"

Her sudden attack made Higashino Si laugh for a while.

But Dong Yesi didn't care about her sudden opening,
Instead, he took advantage of the moment when she finished speaking and continued: "Grandma Tomoko, you must have heard that Miss Nakano is by my side."

"Mother-in-law Tomoko, you must be very anxious. Our studio wants to contact the local police on your side and send Ms. Nakano back. Can you cooperate with our work?"

This is an official answer.

Send Nakano Yusaki home, hoping that the other party will help and cooperate with each other. Generally speaking, they should not be rejected.

but--

"I'm sorry, Higashino-sensei, I'm really sorry Arisaki for causing you trouble, but going to Tokyo is Arisaki's choice, and it's with my permission."

"." Higashino Division.

Okay.

This is really the same character as the mother-in-law and grandson, which surprised him.

Higashino did not expect Nakano Yusaki to get the consent of the guardian and come to Tokyo alone.

He was a little dazed by this unexpected answer.

After a while, Dong Yesi sorted out his emotions, and then continued to ask: "Is there any inside story?"

Apart from problems with Nakano Yusaki's family situation, Higashino really couldn't think of any other reason.

"Speaking of which, Ms. Nakano keeps saying that she wants to repay her kindness. I thought it was just a joke. Is there really a reason?"

In the case of Higashino Division asking so.

Before waiting for Tomoko Nakano on the other side to answer.

Nakano Yusaki here already touched his head happily, and said, "Didn't I get the gold reward from station P for my "Chrysanthemum and Cat"? Then I got 400 million yen."

"Yeah." Dong Yesi nodded.

"Actually, the 400 million yen was my parents' burial expenses."

Nakano Yusaki said with a smile.

Uh.
Seeing Nakano Yusaki's cheerful and smiling face, Higashino Tsukasa was stunned for a while.

Then he said softly: "Sorry, Miss Nakano, I don't know. You."

He immediately apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Nakano, I don't know you."

"It's okay, Mr. Higashino, don't apologize, and I actually didn't care about it long ago."

Nakano Arisaki waved his hand and smiled brightly.

But this time, she smiled and stopped laughing, as if she couldn't laugh anymore.

Soon, she continued to explain to Dong Yesi.

The Nakano family opened a small factory. In Japan, such small self-employed factories are actually very common.

Their family relies on this small factory on weekdays, and lives a fairly stable, but still somewhat bitter life.

Nakano Yusaki and her younger brother are also quite competitive, and their academic performance is not bad.

But there are unforeseen circumstances.

Just in the middle of a purchase.

Nakano's parents died in a car accident.

The original small factory could not continue to operate.

When a person dies, it means that they will never be seen again.

This is normal.

The Nakano House is managed by Nakano Yusaki's grandmother, Nakano Tomoko.

But then came the problem.

Burial expenses for both of Nakano's parents.

Although the funeral could be covered by National Insurance, it would undoubtedly cost a lot of money.

Originally, the operation of the Nakano factory could only be described as mediocre, and it was already very difficult to raise two children to study.

If the insurance fee paid is spent on the funeral.

Next, who will pay for the tuition fees of the Nakano siblings?

Nakano Tomoko is a strong woman, a standard Hokkaido mother.

The death of her son and daughter-in-law made her very sad.

But she still said it very simply.

The living will continue to live.

The dead who have passed away don't need to talk about pomp and funeral.
In other words, if you don’t have money to buy a cemetery, you can directly cremate it and place a shrine at home to worship it.

At that time, Nakano Yusaki couldn't accept Nakano Yuko's words.

"At that time, I just heard that there was an event on the P station. If you win the gold reward, you can get 400 million yen. This is the origin of the original idea of ​​"Cat and Chrysanthemum."

Nakano Yusaki finished the ending, then squeezed her small fists and raised her face halfway: "So I must repay the favor!"

　Thank you Fate Qiansheng for your reward!Thank you so much!
