The production flow of 'Manga Grand Prize Top Illustration', which is only roughly published in the

Manga Grand Prize recruitment article , will be specially disclosed as a treasured document exclusively for GIGAZINE Secret Club (GSC) members. Even if the characters are cute and beautiful illustrations, the professionals on the way will see that 'this theme pose can improve the overall impression.' Regarding such 'points that improve the impression received from illustrations', corrections and retakes are being made while cultivating 'eye to see illustrations' that can make concrete judgments.

Rough A draft was adopted from among the two drafts. It's an illustration from February, and it's one of the elegance of the theme of the Setsubun 'Oki' and Hanafuda 'Ume ni Uguisu'.

As for the overall composition, `` composition parallel to the horizontal and vertical lines of the screen '' or `` composition overlapping the diagonal of the screen '' is more monotonous than the whole illustration, because the parallel lines and diagonal lines are more noticeable May be received. Especially in GIGAZINE, I often see it on a small screen of a smartphone, and I asked you to change the pose from parallel lines to improve the overall impression even with small images. For the same reason, in order to make elements that are easy to get messy on small screens such as plum blossoms and various accessories clear, and to make it easier to understand `` illustration of who is doing what '' without explanation , We chose to focus on the elements of 'girl of demon', 'ume tree' and 'warbler'.

Rough reflecting the correction. In addition to making it easier for the characters to see their eyes, the impression of relaxing and relaxing has become stronger. As the character deviated from the parallel line, only the dango skewer at hand was standing right next to it and it looked prominent.

The left is the rough before correction, and the right is the rough after correction.

Line drawing process for character and warbler only.
