Chapter 467 The gathering service area

The bus continues to drive.

After that, Kato Yusuke drew the original manuscript on the digital screen, while Eiri watched quietly next to him, observing his brushstrokes and techniques.

After observing for a while, Yinglili was surprised to find that his level had improved again!

From the characters' movements, understanding of the modeling, to the interaction between the characters and the scene, as well as the extremely unique storyboarding techniques.

All these details vaguely reveal one thing - Kato Yusuke seems to have entered a field that she has not yet touched.

If you describe it carefully, although most of the above can be classified as basic skills, wanting to do it as easily and freely as he does is another matter.

In addition, the technique of storyboarding is also very subtle.

Take the manuscript that Yusuke Kato is currently drawing as an example. There are three characters in the picture, namely Denji, Makima, and Himeno.

The plot is a question and answer between two female characters about who should they kiss next.

The picture is simply divided into four grids. The backgrounds of Makima and Himeno only use simple blur lines, and the background of Denji is completely black.

To be honest, even if it was a drawing book, Ying Lili would not draw it like this.

That style is not very similar to the expression technique of comics, but has the flavor of movie storyboarding.

If she were to draw it, it would probably start from Machima's inquiry, to a close-up of a local action, and then to the linkage changes of the next character, and proceed in sequence, basically following the guidance of the line of sight.

Depending on the situation, the perspective of the human body's torso will be added, and the movements of the frames will be changed to highlight emotions and tension. In short, it is almost a traditional comic expression technique.

Through the previous paintings of other scenes, Yinglili knew that he must also have mastered these knowledge and skills, but he made a different choice.

This creates a strong personal style and brings unique charm, making the work unique.

But in a sense, this can be regarded as one of the many characteristics of "Chainsaw Man".

Eiriri was thinking secretly in her heart, and at the same time, she raised some questions about the characterization and storyboard design, asking Kato Yusuke why he did this, and received answers one by one.

After touching their heads, the two spent a short period of question and answer time.

Involuntarily, she thought of the former Kato Yusuke who couldn't even draw storyboards well and had to be taught everything by her step by step.

I felt a little lonely for no reason, as if I had been abandoned.

At the same time, there were several other complex emotions permeating the body.

With a little reluctance, a little reluctance to admit defeat, and a little pride, Eiriri unconsciously focused her eyes on Kato Yusuke's face while thinking silently.

The digital pen slides smoothly on the screen, emitting a very neat melody.

Beside her, there was a cartoon profile of An Jing's face, which made her unconsciously fascinated by it.

At a certain moment, as if he noticed the gaze on her face, Kato Yusuke met her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"……Huh?"

Thump, the heart beats gently.

"Is there something on my face?"

Yinglili looked away as if she had just woken up from a dream, her eyes wandered for a while, and she muttered in a low voice: "...No, it's nothing..."

Kato Yusuke pondered for a moment, then said with some trepidation: "...Do you still want to be touched on the head? But I am drawing the original manuscript now."

"--certainly not!"

It was immediately rejected.

Under his puzzled gaze, Yinglili raised one foot pretending to be calm, leaned forward while raising her elbows, and supported her chin with one hand, saying:

"...I'm just a little interested in your next plot. I wanted to ask, but since you're busy, forget it."

"Are you interested in the plot of "Chainsaw Man"...?"

"What do you mean by that tone of voice? Isn't it allowed?"

"It's not impossible, but aren't you interested in cute works?"

"That's what I say, but "Chainsaw Man" has become so popular recently, so naturally I have to consider drawing a book!"

"Oh...as expected of you."

"What are you doing? Your words seem to have some profound meaning."

"So, whose book do you want to draw?"

Yinglili, who was just dealing with it casually, couldn't help but hesitated. She didn't expect that he would ask more questions. After hesitating for a while, she said:

"Here, do you even need to ask? As for the character you are playing now, it must be Makima!"

"That's Machima and Denji..."

Kato Yusuke turned his attention back to the digital screen, started drawing again, and at the same time replied: "Well, it's not impossible."

"I told you not to speak in such an ambiguous manner. Besides, Denji also likes Makima, right? Could it be that the CP you set is not them?"

"CP, it depends on how you want to understand this."

The tone became a little subtle.

"Won't they be together at the end of the story?"

"Well...if it's in a physical sense, they should be together, right? Putting aside their feelings, at least the two of them have become one?"

"Why are you the one who asked the question??" Ying Lili asked with a frown, her expression slightly puzzled.

"It's nothing, I just thought of something. Just go ahead and draw. At least with Machima's current popularity, you can't go wrong choosing her."

Ying Lili curled her lips, muttered something mysterious in a low voice, and did not pursue the question further.

As Yusuke Kato said, what she is personally interested in is traditional moe works.

Popular works such as "Chainsaw Man" are just subjects for her books.

I paint whatever sells, and keep up with market trends to create exciting notebooks. This is the only method and biggest characteristic of Eri Kashiwagi, a popular notebook painter.

After such a conversation, Yinglili actually came up with the idea of ​​"it would be good to just draw a fan work of "Chainsaw Man"".

But then, she thought about the fan exhibition she was going to participate in next month, and the club commemorative book that was scheduled to be released at the Winter COMI but was still untouched - "Memories Of Lily".

Thinking about it again, there is still just over a month until the opening of Winter COMI, and I suddenly have a headache. It’s the spirit of fishing that is causing trouble!

Faced with this difficult situation, Yingli Li held her head and sobbed for a while, then stretched out a hand and grabbed the sleeve of the person next to her.

"...Yusuke, help me!"

Kato Yusuke, who was painting, stopped moving his hands and looked over in confusion.

"help you with what?"

"I, I want it! Give it to me quickly!"

Boom, the sound of hitting the forehead sounded.

"It hurts!? What are you doing!"

"No matter how anxious you are, think before you speak. You are no longer a primary school student."

Yinglili's originally angry expression froze on her face, as if she had just realized the ambiguity in her speech, her mouth opened and closed slightly, and her face seemed to burst into flames.

Boom, the small fist hit Kato Yusuke's chest.

"Are you an idiot? I'm asking you to draw a doujinshi for me. Why do you think of obscene things? Change, pervert!"

Suddenly there was a little bit of pain in the uterine cavity.

"Drawing doujinshi?"

Kato Yusuke looked at Eiri in front of him, thought for a while and said: "Let me ask first, when you say help, do you want me to help draw the book of "Chainsaw Man"?"

Is this considered an official publication?

Such thoughts passed through my mind in an instant.

"You said you would help me before, right?"

"I've said it before, but your whimsy makes people a little speechless. Furthermore, "Chainsaw Man" has a different style of painting. If the style doesn't change, it won't be suitable for this book."

"You just need to imitate my strokes. Haven't you done this before? This is very easy for you, right?" Yinglili said plausibly.

"That's not the problem...forget it, whatever you say is what it is." Kato Yusuke gave up arguing and no longer tried to care about her fallacies.

Isn't it an official publication? Once it's published, it's published. As long as the author doesn't admit it, it can only be considered a fan creation, just like a third-party mod for some games.

Moreover, if you really have to change the brush strokes to draw, whether anyone can recognize it is also a problem.

Seeing his agreement, Yinglili nodded with satisfaction and said: "There is also a commemorative book of Dong COMI. I will ask you for help when needed."

"If I have time," Kato Yusuke replied.

Ever since, things have been settled like this.

Unknowingly, time gradually passed.
To be continued...
