Tokyo life starting with painting

There are many juniors and junior girls joining the Kita Yi School Art Studio this year.

However, most of these students wanted to see the environment in which Higashinoji painted.

This kind of students just come here to join in the fun.

I saw that Higashinoji had no intention of coming to the Kitajuku studio, and because of the heavy workload in the Kitajuku studio - he came at least four days a week and had to participate in club activities.

Therefore, many students who were interested in joining the club immediately quit the club, leaving only those students who really liked oil painting in the Kita Gym studio.

Miyashita Yuki is one of the first-year students.

She originally liked painting, and her family was well off, so she found an art class to learn painting when she was in junior high school.

So in terms of level alone, her level is actually much higher than many of her peers.

In addition, he is quite good-looking, and he is quite popular in the studio of Kitajuku.

Today, as soon as she got out of class, she accompanied her best friend in the same class to the studio of Kitajuku.

"Hey? Yuki, didn't you enter the Kitajuku studio because of Higashinoji?"

The best friend next to him asked curiously.

She had the impression that most of the people who entered the studio of Kitajuku came to see Higashinoji.

"What? I just like oil painting. It has nothing to do with Higashino-senpai."

A smile appeared on Miyashita Yuki's face with a little baby fat.

She also didn't forget to add: "Compared to Higashino-senpai who never appeared in the studio of Kitajuku, I actually prefer Konoe-senpai who is in the third year of high school."

"Huh? Is he that Konoe-senpai who paints oil paintings so beautifully?"

The best friend next to him asked curiously.

"Yes." Miyashita Yuki said with a somewhat admiring expression: "I saw Konoe-senpai's work at the school festival last time. It was so beautiful. The way the color was processed was so mature."

Now Konoe Ryoka is somewhat famous in the school.

After all, Higashinoji taught Konoe Ryoka a lot of things step by step.

In the field of oil painting, she is a senior in high school. In addition, she has a cute appearance and a soft personality that is easy to get along with.

Therefore, he is especially admired by female students in the studio.

And Miyashita Yuki is one of them.

Whenever Konoe Ryoka was mentioned, she would always say good things.

She is good-looking, draws well, and has an approachable personality. In addition, she works hard and is the first one to come to the studio every day.

This senior is hard-working, talented, and has a good temper.

Who doesn't love it?

Anyway, Miyashita Yuki prefers Konoe Ryoka to the humble Higashinoji, and even admires her a little.

In this way, she walked with her best friend to the door of the studio of Kitajuku.

As usual, the sliding door of the Kita Education Studio was opened early by Konoe Ryoka who came first.

This made Miyashita Yuki a little excited.

She came here in advance this time because she wanted to have exclusive access to Konoe Ryoka and ask her some questions about oil painting.

Now that he has this opportunity, Miyashita Yuki will certainly not hesitate.

She happily walked into the painting studio of Beiyi School. Before she could speak, she heard a sentence: "Oh, Lianghua, haven't I told you everything about the treatment around here? Your color is wrong, it's too blue. , it has to be a blue that’s a little more breathable.”

Um?

When Miyashita Yuki stood firm and saw the scene in front of her clearly, her expression suddenly changed.

There was a young man standing in front of Konoe Ryoka, with his back turned, so he couldn't see his face clearly.

But Konoe Ryoka was obviously scolded by the young man, and she hurriedly picked up the scraper next to her: "Uh, I know, I'll revise it right away."

She scraped off some of the paint, quickly applied a roll of paint, and then mixed the colors before starting again.

Then--

"Hey, Lianghua, why are you so stupid?"

Um? ! !

Listen to this young man’s ‘unscrupulous’ comments.

Miyashita Yuki's expression changed again.

She was in a daze at the beginning, and now she is even more confused.

But she was still confused, and what made her even more angry was...

Who are you?

Why do you dare to mentor Konoe-senpai?

You know, even Mr. Okano doesn't give much guidance to Konoe-senpai now, just because his level is not good enough.

You are a young man and you are still wearing our school uniform. You are clearly a young man of our age.

Why do you dare to instruct our school’s famous figure, Konoe Ryoka, on an oil painting?

Who gave you the courage?

Is it because Konoe-senpai is too easy to bully?

Miyashita Yuki hates some keyboard warriors who talk but don’t practice, and this is even more true when it comes to oil painting.

Anger arose in her heart, and she felt as if her idol had been 'tarnished' by the common people.

The most important thing is that even the most powerful Konoe Ryoka in the Kitajuku studio can't satisfy this young man's requirements.

Then aren't the others not even qualified to stand next to this young man?

As a member of the art studio of Beiyi School, she naturally cannot tolerate this kind of thing happening.

So she came to the young man's side in two steps. Her movements were so quick and fast that she didn't even stop her best friend next to her.

Miyashita Yuki defended her directly: "Konoe-senpai is the best painter in our Kita Education Studio. Why do you say that about Konoe-senpai?"

"Ah, that" Konoe Ryoka obviously recognized this elementary school girl and opened her mouth: "Miyashita-san, it's not what you think."

"Konoe-senpai, you don't need to say anything." Miyashita Yuki turned to Konoe Ryoka and smiled: "I understand what senpai means. senpai has such a good personality, that's why some people dare to hit her on the nose. .”

She didn't listen to what Konoe Ryoka said next, but turned her head and said seriously: "I hope this must be a senior, and can apologize to Konoe-senpai."

It all happened so fast.

To be honest, even Miyashita Yuki didn't see clearly what the young man in front of him looked like, so he simply spoke.

However, she soon heard the other party's cheerful and confident voice: "I don't think there is any need to apologize."

Um?

What does it mean?

No need to apologize?

She was just about to speak again when she heard the next sentence of the young man in front of her: "Because my paintings are prettier than Lianghua."

Well.

Miyashita Yuki opened her mouth, with a look of disbelief on her face.

She really didn't expect that the young man in front of her would dare to say that.

Who gave him the courage?

Do you really think you are Higashinoji who never came to school?

Just as she was about to say this, she raised her head to see who the hateful guy in front of her was.

Then I heard Konoe Ryoka's voice behind me: "Aji, Miyashita-san is a good person, you must not pay attention to what she says."

Assi

Um.

Miyashita Yuki's brain only went through a downtime thinking state for two seconds, and then he understood.

"Senior Higashino?!"

Miyashita Yuki subconsciously looked up at the young man.

Only then did he realize that the other party was indeed Higashinoji.

Gudu

Miyashita Yuki fell into a downtime state again, and even his best friends who rushed next to him were stunned for a long time.

Is this really Higashinoji himself?

The two of them were a little confused. After a while, Miyashita Yuki's best friend jumped out with excitement: "Higashino-san! Please give me your autograph!"

Higashinoji was coaching Konoe Ryoka well, but suddenly two girls jumped out.

One of the girls even asked herself to apologize to Konoe Ryoka, which made Tonoji a little funny.

Unexpectedly, Konoe Ryoka would have a little fan during these days when he was away.

This Miyashita Yuki is obviously one of them.

Naturally, Higashinoji wouldn't care about what the other party said.

After all, the other party came forward for Konoe Ryoka, even though he hit the wrong person.

But the courage is pretty good.

So he nodded kindly to Miyashita Yuki, then took the pen and paper from her best friend and wrote his name in a swipe.

"Asi, what's the reason for you coming to the North Yiyuan studio this time?"

Having already dealt with the problem that Higashinoji pointed out just now, Konoe Ryoka asked curiously.

So Tonoji turned around and told his girlfriend that he wanted to borrow some canvases from his schoolmates to use.

Of course he wouldn't use it in vain, after all, canvases and frames cost money.

Therefore, Higashinoji also said that he would give a satisfactory price to students who are willing to rub the canvas for themselves.

After all, as a student party, there will definitely be people who want to exchange some pocket money for use.

"Because you need to practice, so you use a canvas?"

Miyashita Yuki on the side couldn't help but glance at Higashinoji after hearing what he said.

Should we say that rich people are really willful?

The combined cost of the frame and canvas would be too great.

Others practice casually, but you practice directly with a canvas?

The cost of this exercise is too high.

And to be honest, Miyashita Yuki had always heard about Higashinoji's rumors in school, as well as the two oil paintings that had won the Tokyo National Youth Award.

Other than that, she didn't have much impression of Higashinoji's painting skills.

So compared to Konoe Ryoka's accommodation, she wanted to see how Higashinoji was doing at painting.

This is just pure curiosity, and it doesn’t have the feeling that Higashinoji is a liar who only knows how to brag, as in traditional novels.

The opportunity came quickly.

Maybe it's because Higashinoji's popularity in Kitajuku is too high.

When they heard that Higashino wanted to borrow the stretched canvas, several girls quickly donated their canvases out of curiosity.

Of course, they did not dare to accept money from Higashikata at first.

After all, the Higashino Tsukasa in front of him can be considered a well-known figure in Kitajuku.

However, despite Higashinoji's repeated requests, they still hesitantly accepted the money he gave.

This made Higashikata breathe a sigh of relief.

He couldn't let his guard down.

Many media reporters outside are probably still staring at me.

What if I didn’t do anything but took something belonging to a student from the Kita Education Studio?

It is estimated that there will soon be the kind of small newspaper out there that will publish "a famous cartoonist reveals his true colors and uses his fame to bully the juniors in school."

He still can't bear the pressure of public opinion.

"It's no use thinking about this."

Higashinoji shook his head, looked at the empty canvas in front of him, asked Konoe Ryoka where he wanted some paint, and then rolled up the brush and started laying out the base color.

Higashinoji has his own practice method.

His practice is not just to draw an object or just copy a scene.

Instead, draw whatever you see, and draw whatever you have.

It's totally mindless.

This kind of simple mechanical copying can easily adapt to your current level.

He quickly started drawing a profile picture of Konoe Ryoka who was drawing.

And while Higashinoji was painting.

Miyashita Yuki, who was sitting not far away on the other side, would come over to take a look from time to time.

It starts with the base color.

This is nothing to see.

Miyashita Yuki went back.

It's just a base color. He's an art student, so there's nothing obvious about it.

This is followed by a sketch of the character's movements and a rough composition.

Um?

This is a bit interesting.

Miyashita Yuki's eyes lit up, and this time he looked twice before leaving.

Subsequently.

Wait until she comes to see again.

A lifelike side profile of Konoe Ryoka appeared.

Cheeks that were slightly red from the cold.

Slightly exhaled white mist.

His eyes sparkled brightly.

Includes mapping of ambient light

On the screen, Konoe Ryoka's head was slightly tilted, her eyes squinted as if she was thinking about something.

He raised the brush with both hands, looking a little hesitant.

The vividness of this frozen moment caught Miyashita Yuki's eyes.

She couldn't help but stare.

no

What happened during the time I was gone?

Wasn't it still a draft when I last looked at it?

Why did the world suddenly change?

She was stunned.

As if he noticed the gaze of Miyashita Yuki behind him, Tonoji, who had put down his brush, turned his head and smiled at her.

He had a nice smile, and he was already pretty and handsome, coupled with his indescribable sense of confidence when he was drawing, Miyashita Yuki couldn't help but blush.

Then she couldn't help but scold herself for not living up to expectations.

What are you so shy about?

Wasn't it just a glance?

She murmured in her heart, and then asked with a curious attitude: "Senior Higashino, can I ask, when I saw you just now, it was just a draft, why did it suddenly become like this?"

Miyashita Yuki asked curiously.

Regarding her question, Higashinoji just explained carefully: "Actually, it's nothing, I just added a little detail in the middle. Do you understand?"

? ? ? ? ?

Just add a little detail in the middle?

You asked me if I understood.

no

Is this just a little detail? Are you sure it’s not ‘Billions of Details’?

Miyashita Yuki was choked by these words and couldn't breathe.

She is an art student, so she can certainly feel how sophisticated the brushstrokes in this painting are.

It may seem that the coloring is messy, but if you look closely, you can see that the whole picture has a sense of order.

If she wanted to paint this painting, it would take at least two or three days.

But Higashinoji only painted for one or two hours.

She couldn't help but take another look at Higashinoji's hand, and then at her own hand.

immediately

She sighed softly.

To be honest, there are indeed differences between people.

And the gap is still huge.

She even wanted to cut off her own hand and replace it with Toyoshi's hand.

But this is obviously impossible.

Miyashita Yuki sighed over there.

On the other hand, things are getting better for Higashinoji.

Because he found that the more he painted, the more proficient he became, and the unfamiliar brush seemed to be reborn at this moment.

His level is like riding a rocket.

It’s really rising!

Tōnoji was looking forward to it.

Great progress indeed!

Thanks to Summer Home and Fate Qiansheng for the reward! Thank you so much!
