Although the painting didn't sell for much money, Lin Yuan was not upset about it.
Because he was sure of one thing.
Even if he couldn't get another Qi Baishi character card at the moment, he would most likely be able to reach a similar level of painting skills in the future...
With the corresponding level, he can paint as many good paintings like "Six Shrimps" as he wants.
Because he has a treasure chest.
The system has been introduced before.
The so-called skills are divided into levels.
Above the professional level, there are master level and perfect level.
The painting skills of Qi Baishi's character cards are probably at the master level. Perhaps his ability to paint shrimps is close to perfection
What a pity.
Skills and abilities above the master level can only be found in treasure chests of gold level or above. So far, Lin Yuan has never gotten a gold treasure chest.
The only thing left on his body that had not been opened was a silver treasure chest.
"Can I purchase abilities?" After returning home, Lin Yuan couldn't help but ask the system.
The system replied: "It cannot be purchased. The ability can only be obtained through treasure chests."
Lin Yuan understood.
Just as he guessed.
It is so true that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.
Ability is the most precious thing!
Those works may bring you profits in the short term, but in the long run, they are more practical.
"For example, professional-level painting and professional-level piano can help me in my daily life..."
Lin Yuan once thought that with the customized work function, he would be less dependent on the treasure chest.
But now it seems that treasure chests still require ability to obtain, and only treasure chests have the hope of revealing abilities.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but look at the only silver treasure chest left in his system warehouse.
Is there any power in this
Forget it, I'll just wait until I get lucky before opening it.
Lin Yuan suppressed his curiosity.
Three days later it was Saturday.
Lin Yuan directly called Luo Wei to his studio, and now Luo Wei has officially become Lin Yuan's comic assistant.
"teacher."
When Luo Wei saw Lin Yuan again, there had been some subtle changes in her attitude.
Whether considering her identity as a comics assistant or her level of Chinese painting, there is no problem in calling her Teacher Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan never worried about the issue of addressing others. After all, he had been called so many different names by others.
Teacher, Master, Master, Representative, Junior…
None of this matters.
Lin Yuan began to tell Luo Wei about the work requirements, and the work on the "Prince of Tennis" comics could officially start today.
"It's actually The Prince of Tennis?"
Luo Wei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It turned out to be a comic adaptation of this novel. I like this novel very much and have read some of it. Teacher, have you obtained the authorization for the comic adaptation?"
"I got it."
Lin Yuan had already authorized himself in his heart with a sense of ritual.
Luo Wei has adapted to her assistant role: "I will finish reading the novel later... Then let's set a framework? Do you have a design draft?"
"Wait a moment."
Lin Yuan started painting immediately.
The first thing is to determine the style of the character.
Lin Yuan drew a series of characters directly according to the original design.
They are all original images from "The Prince of Tennis", with a very distinctive Japanese style.
But there is no such thing as Japanese or not Japanese in this world.
"Is this Longma?"
A classic tennis cap, a blue and white school uniform, bangs covering the head but revealing a pair of bright eyes underneath.
Handsome and cool.
Then there are the images of important characters like Zhou Zhu...
Looking at the character designed by Lin Yuan, Luo Wei's eyes became more and more surprised.
She naturally knew that Lin Yuan was good at sketching.
But being good at sketching is different from being able to create sketches. She didn't expect that the comic characters designed by Lin Yuan were so good.
As someone who has read the original novel, Luo Wei is very sure that these characters are very consistent with the description in the novel!
Even die-hard fans of "Prince of Tennis" probably wouldn't have too many doubts about these characters.
“These are the characters that appeared in the early stages.”
After half an hour, Lin Yuan paused and said, "Just do your best to help me achieve whatever you can."
Luo Wei's eyes were full of brilliance.
She suddenly stared at Lin Yuan and said, "If I help you complete enough work, can you promise me that you will teach me how to paint Chinese paintings in the future?"
Painting Chinese paintings
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment. He definitely couldn't teach Luo Wei now, because his actual Chinese painting level was about the same as Luo Wei's.
But if he could draw a master-level painting from the golden treasure chest, he could indeed teach Luo Wei.
But Lin Yuan couldn't guarantee such a thing.
Just when Lin Yuan was about to speak, the system suddenly appeared: Congratulations to the host for triggering a new task. If the host can reach the standard of over 500,000 painting reputation within a year, the host will be rewarded with a golden treasure chest containing a master-level painting!
"accept!"
Lin Yuan felt somewhat happy.
The system is not just thinking about cheating you out of your money, it can be considerate sometimes.
For example, when you need to improve your painting skills the most, the system will issue such a task.
After accepting the task.
Lin Yuan turned to look at Luo Wei: "If you can give me enough help, I can teach you Chinese painting."
"good!"
Luo Wei was overjoyed.
As the master of the painting club, Lin Yuan’s teaching ability has long been praised by students, so Luo Wei really wants to know, is Lin Yuan really good at teaching Chinese painting
Yes.
With Luo Wei's current painting level, it is actually not difficult for her to find a painting master to become his apprentice.
But the problem is that there are many people who are good at painting, but not everyone can teach.
"Then let's get started."
Lin Yuan nodded and said that he had officially started the design of the storyboard. As for the perfection, he wanted to hand it over to Luo Wei to see how good she was.
Luo Wei was not idle either.
Lin Yuan designed the storyboard, and she copied the images of dragons, horses and other characters drawn by Lin Yuan.
After copying for a period of time, she was able to freely draw the characters such as dragons and horses described by Lin Yuan.
"good."
After finishing the storyboard, Lin Yuan looked at the character image copied by Luo Wei, which was not much different from what he had drawn.
But this is the ability of a master, and it is also the reason why Lin Yuan asked Luo Wei to be his assistant.
An ordinary assistant can only help Lin Yuan draw some simple background parts, but an assistant of Luo Wei's level can truly help Lin Yuan draw comics!
In fact.
There are quite a few painting masters on the Internet who are able to capture the spirit and charm of the original characters. These people are generally masters of fan fiction.
Some fan fiction authors can create characters that are almost identical to those in the original works.
Luo Wei is such an assistant.
Lin Yuan didn't know that Luo Wei was a well-known artist on the Internet, and she had indeed drawn some fan works, which were recognized by many fans of the original novel...
Lin Yuan only knew that he would be able to draw "Prince of Tennis" with his assistant Luo Wei in the future.
Anyway, the storyboard work is not a very complicated task for Lin Yuan.
He could be responsible for the drawing of the first volume himself, and then prepare the storyboards for the second volume in advance and give it to Luo Wei to draw.

ps: I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Today's update is a little late because of the holiday and I have a lot of things to do. I also have to tell you a sad news. Including the monthly tickets and the extra chapters for the leader, Wubai owes you a total of 101 chapters. I will try to pay it off before the end of December (I really want to erase the decimals, it's not easy to have obsessive-compulsive disorder)
