◆I tried collecting the manga back data that understands what the manga and illustrations that catch the reader's eyes
All five manga series serialized by GIGAZINE by July 2020 were created by the person in charge of the original/script and the drawing/coloring. Since each of them discovered the making of how the script, name, and drawing proceed from the original, the back side will be made public. Whether you are thinking of applying for a scenario, considering applying as a drawing creator, or of course you want to apply a completed work, it will be a reference for production.

' Princess and Gamer ' was created in the flow of a script with only text written by the original author, Sankyo Kyo, with the name of the author, Mr. Sanio. The image is the name of the check stage, and the words such as serif are handwritten and only the size image is attached.

When the name is completed, first draw the character's line drawing, ask the helper for the undercoat and background, etc. and proceed with the drawing.

' Mageosho Exchange Diary ' is also a work based on the same original work and drawing combination, but the production flow has changed due to the experience of the previous work. First of all, at the stage of script writing, I cut off the extra instructions as much as possible, and only put the capture in the minimum lines and situations. As a result, the drawing staff wants them to draw freely.

Before creating the name from the script, this work puts the storyboarding process in between. There are page and frame designations in the script, but for that purpose, I will add cuts by arranging the lines and situation vertically. By creating a name from here, it is now possible to flexibly adapt to the frame layout and add or delete frames in some cases. In the middle of the process, the name stage was skipped to shorten the work, and the process started from a storyboard to a line drawing.

In '

Brave and livestock side-by-side life ', the original is a script with text only, but detailed notes are added by Mr. Tsubiku who is in charge of the original. In addition to the emotions and settings included in the dialogue, what kind of composition is imagined in the screenplay, and what kind of composition is the situation, sometimes explained with an image.

When

Hyak, who is in charge of drawing, wakes up the script as a name, the process of storyboarding is included from the second episode . By creating a rough page layout or frame layout with a storyboard, you can smoothly do it when you want to change the number of pages or frames from the screenplay specification, and it is easier to deal with corrections at the check stage.

Create a name from the storyboard and proceed to line drawing and completion. Although it is good to draw with a name, it is difficult to do a clean copy, but on the contrary, I came up with a more attractive composition than the name, so I often ignore the name and redraw the character when drawing.

'

Ceased Ameamefure touch lies in', the original charge of tiger Taro 's has created a fairly detailed name. Although the background is often specified roughly, the characters are carefully drawn so that the name alone can be attractively read. In addition, the instructions to the drawing staff, the intention of composition, and notes are written in the margins so that the images do not shift.

Mr.

Yumeki, who is in charge of drawing from the name, first wakes up to a line drawing, shares the image with the person in charge of drawing and if there is no problem, the flow proceeds to drawing.

The work flow varies depending on the person in charge of the original work and the person in charge of drawing, but each work is adjusted to make it as easy as possible. We are looking forward to applying not only for manga works, but for text-only scripts, name stages, and portfolios only for drawing.
