From White Box To Supervision

Chapter 4: Illustration

When Zhang Beichuan woke up, he found that he fell asleep on his stomach and still had the halaki. He took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It was after four in the morning.

“I was dreaming just now? No, if it was a dream, it would be too real.” Zhang Beichuan lost his mind and didn’t know what happened.

When he came back to his senses, Zhang Beichuan looked at his own drawing, and compared it with the character he had repeatedly revised in his dream, it was simply shit. When compared, it was worse than shit.

As soon as he gritted his teeth, Zhang Beichuan tore the drawing, and it was torn to pieces by Zhang Beichuan and thrown into the trash can.

“Re-paint it, just as in my dream.”

The scene in the dream clearly emerged in his mind. Holding a pencil, Zhang Beichuan copied it exactly as in the dream, stroke by stroke like a divine help.

From the beginning of the outline, proportions, lines, Zhang Beichuan’s inspiration exploded at this moment, and a painting was completed in just four hours.

This is a long black girl, holding a samurai sword, wearing a kimono, with a stern face, a heroic spirit, and a valiant figure. Compared with the cute and cute illustrations, although she is the heroine, she is very handsome.

The background is a picture of a monster on the battlefield. It’s very real.

Zhang Beichuan’s lines are very soft, and there are no traces of modification, very clean, and some clothing details are also handled very well. After all, he has been in close contact with him in his dreams.

The picture is black and white, without color, but it can be seen that this is a fine illustration, far exceeding Zhang Beichuan’s previous strength.

Zhang Beichuan was very satisfied with this picture, and then cherished it in his easel. There is not only one illustration for a light novel, this is just one of them. The cover of a light novel will need several colorings at the beginning. The second is that there will be several black and white illustrations in the middle of the important plot, and a hand-painted one will be needed later.

Anyway, Zhang Beichuan’s task this time is to draw ten illustrations. In fact, Zhang Beichuan has completed eight illustrations, and this one is the ninth illustration, but the quality of the eight illustrations is obviously not as high as this time.

In fact, Zhang Beichuan’s painting skills are not bad. After all, he has been studying painting for almost seven or eight years since he started in high school. He has studied sketching, illustration, original painting, Chinese painting, pen painting and so on.

The technical aspect has been a big touch for ordinary people, but it is obviously not qualified compared to those old predecessors. Whether it is technology or connotation spirit, it is stronger than Zhang Beichuan.

But this time, the illustrations are already comparable. Let’s not talk about the technical aspects, the most important thing is that this illustration is very flexible and lifelike. As if infused with spirit.

For the previous illustration, Zhang Beichuan didn’t really make any changes. Although it is not as good as this one, it can still be crossed.

“The rest of the picture can be painted if you have time. The time is very relaxed, so don’t be in a hurry.” Zhang Beichuan didn’t plan to paint anymore. He got up, took the toothpaste and toothbrush and went to the bathroom to wash. Room, a bedroom, a bathroom, not even a kitchen.

Although it is small and inconvenient, it is within Zhang Beichuan’s financial resources. The part-time job at Torii Ryuta’s store manager can only cover the most basic expenses at first, but after a little use, it will be gone, so Zhang Beichuan has to take the illustration To make money, Zhang Beichuan’s salary increased a lot until he became a foreman in the store two years ago, but he didn’t save much.

Buying a slightly better tablet will take a long time to save money.

After washing, Zhang Beichuan took out an instant noodle he bought last night and soaked it. The instant noodles are cup noodles. Just eat it.

There will be a self-contained tape under the cup noodles, which is for sealing.

“It’s eight o’clock, and it’s time to leave.” After eating, Zhang Beichuan said secretly.

Musashino’s work time is 9:00 in the morning, but because it is the first day, it is always necessary to go earlier, and since he is far away from Musashino, it takes a little time to take the train.

The system of going to work is 996, and 996 means that you go to work at 9:00 in the morning and get off work at 9:00 in the evening, go to get off work for six days, and have a rest day.

Nine o’clock looks beautiful, but it’s nothing to an animation company. Basically, when the animation company goes to work and the production is busy. You will find that it is basically useless to go to get off work and go to work. It is almost normal to work overtime and catch up on projects.

After arranging his appearance in front of the mirror, Zhang Beichuan nodded with satisfaction, locked the door and set off.

The tram is actually very crowded in the morning. People come and go, basically office workers, but it has become the norm here in District 11. Zhang Beichuan has long been used to it and doesn’t think anything.

Especially when passing by the school, when a group of high school students were hula-la, Zhang Beichuan had to hold on to the gauntlet with both hands to avoid being overwhelmed by people?

After finally getting off the tram and walking for a distance, Zhang Beichuan finally saw Musashino’s building.

It was also the place where the interview took place yesterday.

Just as Zhang Beichuan was about to go in, suddenly, the sound of a bicycle riding behind her was Miyamori Aoi. Different from yesterday’s suit, she was wearing a casual outfit, with big eyes, full of agility and luster, very beautiful.

“Bei Chuan-kun.”

“It’s you, Miss Aoi Miyamori, good morning.” Zhang Beichuan smiled lightly.

“Good morning.”

“Let’s go in together.”

“it is good.”

……

As soon as the two of them got downstairs, they saw a young man with dyed yellow hair walking downstairs timidly.

Seeing the two of them, the yellow-haired man’s eyes lit up, he stepped forward, and said, “May I ask if you are the staff of Musashino. My name is Takari Taro, and I’m just starting production.”

Glancing at Gong Senkui, Zhang Beichuan said, “Hello, my name is Zhang Beichuan. Next to me is Gong Senkui. You misunderstood. We both just came today, just like you.”

“Ah, what, you are as new as I am, it’s no use asking.”

Hearing this, Zhang Beichuan was choked for a while, and the tone of this family’s words was really rude.

“Why didn’t you go up?” Miyamori Aoi asked.

“I went up, but the door hasn’t opened yet, so this is coming down again.”

“We’re all here early, let’s wait here.” Zhang Beichuan said.

……

After a while, Zhang Beichuan saw Xingjin Yuka who was interviewing yesterday.

“You came so early?” Xingjin Yuka said in surprise, “Come with me.”

“OK.”

The three followed Xingjin Yuka into the Musashino Building, opened the door with the key, and let them in.

“I have already arranged the positions of the three of you. It’s here. I’ll introduce you to each other when everyone gathers together.”

It was the first time for Zhang Beichuan to see the inside of an animation production company. The first impression was that it was messy! There are countless materials on each table.

After a while, people came one after another.
