The days that followed became peaceful again.

Higashinoji went to and from class at his usual pace. In the afternoon, he took time to go to the studio to think about the draft storyboard of "The Midnight Ring". In the evening, he used his time to draw "The Midnight Ring".

After all, this thing is the capital for him and Higashino Chihayaya to settle down. Each episode will cost a lot of money, so of course he has to work hard.

As for high school studies and homework?

Higashinoji copied all of Konoe Ryoka's homework. After all, he was reborn a lifetime ago, and you asked him to memorize ancient Chinese formulas... They were from Japanese friends... Higashinoji even returned the things belonging to the ancestors of the Celestial Dynasty.

I haven’t learned everything yet.

Then you might as well kill Higashinoji.

Of course, the most important thing is not just that, because Higashinoji discovered that Konoe Ryoka, who had been busy drawing and not talking much, was actually a top student.

His academic performance is always in the top ten of his grade. In Chinese terms, he is a standard academic master.

This did not surprise Higashinoji.

This Konoe Ryoka, who has always been gloomy and gloomy, actually has this skill.

Sure enough, this is a mine treasure! We can continue to dig deeper!

Higashinoji realizes another side of Konoe Ryoka, and Konoe Ryoka is also surprised by this side of Higashinoji.

Because in her impression, Higashinoji is an omnipotent figure, at least in terms of learning, she still feels that he should not have any pressure.

After all... Higashinoji even published a manga in "Abominable Cold", and also painted two oil paintings to participate in the Tokyo Youth Art Prize.

People who can even do these amazing things don't know how to learn...?

This was completely incomprehensible to Konoe Ryoka.

But no matter how much Konoe Ryoka doesn't understand, life still has to go on, and the day when the results of the Tokyo Youth Art Prize Competition are announced is getting closer and closer.

It's another ordinary afternoon.

In the studio are female studio students who are completely relaxed.

It's no wonder, after all, they have been preparing for the Youth Art Awards for a month or two, and facing pungent paints and unchanging canvases every day would be boring for everyone.

But now that the task was finally completed, they just felt that the big stone that was weighing on their heads had been removed - they would never be able to animate the canvas without resting for two or three days.

Okano Ryoko obviously knew this, so he didn't show much presence in the studio these two days, just to give them some time to relax.

Naturally, Higashinoji was not as relaxed as them. At this time, he was busy writing and drawing in his sketchbook, conceiving the draft of the storyboard for the fourth episode of "The Ring".

But although he is currently drawing a draft storyboard, he is still thinking about tomorrow.

The third episode of "The Ring" will be finished tonight, and editor Hosokawa can come over tomorrow to pick it up...

He stopped writing and at the same time turned his head to look at the situation over at Konoe Ryoka.

At this time, Konoe Ryoka was much bolder than before.

Not to mention how much improvement has been made in terms of painting skills.

In terms of courage alone, Konoe Ryoka is much bigger than before.

Her color mixing and painting movements are much more open than before, and she even has a hint of Higashino's style.

This is a poor imitation.

In fact, if you want to learn something, you must first imitate it, and then develop your own style from imitation.

In the transition process of this imitation, the painting methods and brushstrokes will inevitably produce a rigid and rigid feeling.

After all, it's just imitation, and I haven't learned the details of other people's painting methods, so there's no way to be rigid and rigid.

Of course, it's a different matter for talented people. They only need to study hard for a week or two before they can detect the faint details in other people's paintings.

"Hey..." Konoe Ryoka looked at the gouache painting in front of her and sighed softly.

What she painted was a picture of cherry trees in early spring.

The pink cherry blossoms float under the clear blue sky, and the whole picture looks lively and lively--that's how it should be.

But because she subconsciously imitated Higashinoji, Konoe Ryoka always felt that something was strange.

It's like the whole picture is gloomy, dead, and dull.

Obviously the whole picture of cherry trees is wrapped in bright and warm colors, but the whole picture makes Konoe Ryoka feel that it is inexplicably gray and very depressing.

She gasped quietly again.

I have some doubts about myself.

Obviously Higashinoji also uses the same painting method, but when it comes to his painting, why doesn't it have any charm like his?

Konoe Ryoka had some doubts about the birth, but before she could finish thinking about it, a voice suddenly came to her ears:

"This is because you haven't learned enough."

Konoe Ryoka turned her head stupidly, only to find that Higashinoji had arrived beside her at some point, pointing at her painting: "You only see my painting movements on the surface, and you imitate them subconsciously, but deeper

I didn’t notice the details everywhere.”

Saying that, Higashinoji stretched out his hand to Konoe Ryoka.

Konoe Ryoka was stunned, and then subconsciously handed the brush in her hand to Higashinoji.

It's really the kind of action that happens without thinking.

Even Konoe Ryoka is a bit incredible.

Why are you so cooperative all of a sudden?

Before she could finish thinking, Higashino spoke again:

"Your painting is missing some details. It will not be like this if you complete those details."

"Look here, you subconsciously used warm colors here where the cherry blossoms are flying, but this way there is no sense of contrast at all, but we can't lose the overall warm colors, so we can use some cool colors for the cherry blossom petals close to the picture.

Hook the edges.”

With a roll of paint in his hand, Higashinoji gently pecked the edge of the cherry blossom petals twice.

Just a few pecks, and the whole picture was completely different in Konoe Ryoka's eyes.

"Also here, there are obviously more cool colors used, but the superposition of gouache is not good, so here we can only add more warm colors to other parts of the picture."

Higashinoji moved the brush with his wrist, his movements were free and easy, and he added a few words from time to time.

"And here... the light here is also the same. We can also make some changes in virtuality and reality here... Anyway, it is missing a little detail. It's really just a little detail. You have to pay attention, Konoe-san...

.Hey, it’s nice here, it’s a bit interesting.”

Under Higashinoji's explanation, the picture of the cherry tree picture changed again.

Of course, the painting is still the same painting. Higashinoji didn't even change the painting, not even the manuscript.

He just added a few details in some places that Konoe Ryoka ignored, causing the entire picture to change.

The dull and lifeless image has completely disappeared.

The contrast between warm and cold colors is clear and easy to see, and the relationship between light and reality deliberately created by Higashino...

It's not as mysterious as it is said in the book, and there's no charm or anything like that.

Just a few simple strokes, and the result is much more beautiful than what Konoe Ryoka painted for several hours.

The branches of the cherry trees in spring are trembling in the wind, just like the dancing green skirt of a young girl, and the skirt is decorated with pink cherry blossoms.

This embellishment fell from the mid-air and was caught by the naughty spring light at the same time. It was large and small near and far, and there was a hazy feeling of light in the distance...

"Konoe-san is just missing this little detail."
