The production flow, which is only roughly included in the Manga Grand Prix recruitment article , will be specially released as a treasured document exclusively for GIGAZINE Secret Club (GSC) members. The image illustrations called “top images” in the GIGAZINE Manga Awards recruitment article are made by various artists and illustrators regardless of their recommendation or recommendation. In order to make it an illustration that can better show the expression of the theme of the illustration, as well as being an eye-catching illustration when seen by an unknown person, specific correction instructions should be given based on the basic technology of expression Inviting the professionals of that road, I decided to train my eyes to see where the illustration should be. For this reason, corrections and retakes are to be repeated in a very detailed manner, from the first impression to the smallest details.

An illustration of the moon and rabbit girl created and adopted as one of the rough drafts.

First of all, if the theme is “Two girls jumping beside the moon”, the landscape composition would look better, so it would be changed from vertical to horizontal. In accordance with this, please ask for correction instructions as in the image, such as the position of the body of the girl's legs and buttocks is difficult to understand, and the moon is conspicuous and the appearance looks better when the pattern is drawn clearly Did.

In addition, in order to make the bouncing image, which is one of the charms of the illustration, stand out more clearly, it is shown in a cut-and-paste image that it is better to tilt the foot position.

Rough after correction. In addition to the horizontal writing, the whole picture has become brighter and the floating feelings of girls are clearly visible.

If you compare the character parts, you can see how the atmosphere has changed. Left is the first rough, right is corrected.

From the modified rough, retake was sent like an image. The line of the arm was still difficult to understand, and it seems that it is landing when the legs are aligned and it is difficult to give a `` Pyon '' impression, and the right girl's furisode seems to be similar on the left and right Because it looks monotonous, it is a correction that should show change.

The line drawing process has been carried out while reflecting the revisions made so far. In addition to the movement of the feet that were aligned, the kimono has also changed greatly.

Illustration after clean-up. At first glance, there is a sense of dynamism and it feels like a bright and attractive illustration ...

When professionals saw it, there was a point that could be improved more like an image. As for the shadow part added after coloring, it is strange that there is a shadow only at the foot of the person, so it is originally necessary to calculate the shadow as a whole, but since the brightness illuminated by the moon is an attractive illustration, more shadow Is not necessary. In addition, we pay close attention to details such as the point where the fingers look too open and the direction of the toes feels strange.

In addition, it is better to change the stars, sleeves, hair and decorations that are monotonous as in the image because 'it looks monotonous when placing or taking a line parallel to the horizontal or vertical line' That's it.

A completed illustration that reflects the corrections again.

Left is before correction, right is after correction.

The making with comments from the author, Kiiri, can be seen in the following article.
