Chapter 003: Ink Shooting, Inkjet, and Painting with a Mop

After calming down Higashino Chihaya, Higashino Tsukasa entered the room

This is the method he has in mind

This places even greater emphasis on academic qualifications and experience

A line apart is like a mountain apart

In addition, the year 2003 marked a period of growing pains for the Japanese manga industry, which was in a state of overall stagnation due to a lack of outstanding original works and scripts.

Street artists are indeed allowed to paint in Tokyo, but this is limited to painting only, and charging for their work is not permitted

Fortunately, in his previous life, Higashino was a somewhat well-known painter. Although he had not read many comics, he had watched quite a few Japanese dramas and movies.

If one had the ability to use a humanoid printer, would there still be worries about food?

Moreover, Higashino is indeed an old hand, relying on his outstanding artistic skills and the original owner's good looks, he has made quite a bit of money in the takeout business by drawing.

However, Higashino Tsuji naturally does not wish to be served by a girl with a mental disorder

Although it may not be appropriate for the former painter Higashiya Tsukasa to say this, the majority of lower and mid-level professional painters rely on their reputation for their livelihood

As long as one is a person and has hands, one can draw, and after drawing, one can directly submit their work. Once submitted, one can directly receive payment from the publisher.

Because he is well aware that if he continues to sit idly by and rely on others, neither he nor Higashiya Chihaya will starve to death, but their lives will certainly not be very comfortable

Do not be deceived by the fact that he can earn 5,000 yen for drawing at Shibuya Station; in reality, he is exploiting a legal loophole

After the first day of confusion and astonishment, Higashino quickly emerged and began to investigate the current situation in Japan

To be honest, Higashino Keigo is not very clear about it

In the previous dynasty, there was a saying.

Let's not talk about this anymore

However, in the case of the parents passing away at home, how to obtain sufficient living expenses is the issue he needs to consider

In the studio, while painting, I get bored and then pick up my phone to look at it

Firstly, the medium of comics actually has a very low threshold

As mentioned earlier, Higashino is a time traveler who spent a month adapting to Japanese society in 2003

Yes, drawing comics

From this, it can also be seen just how important money, this mundane object, truly is

Higashino Keigo indeed has the confidence to become famous

Engaging in creation is possible, but the prerequisite for creation is to first satisfy one's hunger. Should Higashino go from traditional painters?

Not just comics

Starting from traditional painters, just the various professional painting tools could bankrupt Higashino Shun. Painting has always been a profession for the nobility

Chihaya Dongye requires medical expenses

Asa is a boy destined for great things! Let this kind of thing be handled by his sister!" Higashino Chihaya patted her chest and said, "Asa, you should go rest.

I remember the plots of works such as "The Ring", "Ju-on", "Unnatural Death", "The Great White Tower", and "Solitary Gourmet" quite clearly, with few areas that I cannot recall.

Starting from literature, paintings, television dramas, and films, many well-known names of Higashino Keigo have become less prominent across various industries

Thus, Higashino Keigo truly envies the protagonists of the web novels on Qidian

Moreover, Japan is even more excessive than China, being a capitalist society with a clear distinction between superiors and subordinates

to hit with the head

That is not called painting, that is called performing tricks

However, this is a precarious livelihood, which is why Higashino Satoshi thought of drawing comics

But unfortunately, there is...

What comes into view are comic printouts that have already been illustrated with characters and even have the backgrounds laid out.

She only has a mental disorder and is not very clear about her self-awareness. She can still manage some household chores, so there are many things she is unwilling to let Dongye Si do, and she prefers to do everything herself

Without Natsume Sōseki's artistic declaration that the moonlight is truly beautiful, without Kawabata Yasunari's "Izu Dancer" and "Snow Country," there are also no excellent Japanese horror films such as "Ring" and "Ju-on"

After all, he had experience as a painter in his previous life, and he also possessed a system, which naturally gave him a significant advantage over others, ensuring that he would never starve to death

It would be better to let Higashino close his eyes and jump from the top floor, to see if he can traverse again more safely

Some famous Japanese manga, such as One Piece and Detective Conan, I have heard of their settings and have a bit of an impression. I could draw one or two chapters, but it is simply impossible to serialize them for a long time.

After all, he is neither injured nor ill, and he is not disabled

One cannot be driven to death by money

Various forms of learning, recollection, and contemplation

As a high school student, what basis do I have to compete with outstanding graduates from the top five universities in Tokyo?

Comics

No matter how well you draw, so what? If you are unknown, then it holds no commercial value; this painting is nothing but a piece of waste paper

However, traditional painters become famous too slowly, it takes too much time

Is it really a matter of leaving it to chance for Higashino Keigo to write something? That would be like forcing Zhang Fei to write a military treatise—utter nonsense

This is not a conclusion drawn casually

He does not need to sacrifice long-term benefits for short-term gains

Moreover, Higashino Keigo himself possesses considerable artistic skill, and with the enhancement of the system, combined with the vivid impressions of renowned films and television dramas that have been popular in Japan and many other regions in his past life, he is well-equipped.

... ...

Otherwise, how could the Celestial Empire have so many "inkjet" and "spray" artists, even those "masters" who paint with a "mop"

Surely, we cannot expect Chihaya Ayase to think about how to make money

Everything in the world is inseparable from the word 'money'

He walked over to the desk and pulled out a light yellow envelope from the drawer

Lack of funds is the biggest challenge facing the Higashino family

Moreover, Chihaya Ayase does not have much time to wait, so Tsukasa Dongye thought long and hard and concluded that there was only one path to showcase his artistic skills in painting

"It's fine, anyway I have nothing to do." Higashino Soshi smiled and naturally took the bowl and dish from Higashino Chihaya's hands

I am somewhat short on money

Higashino Keigo feels somewhat helpless

In his previous life, as a graduate of an art academy, he was primarily exposed to renowned paintings from various countries, while literature and popular comics were of little interest to him

This is equivalent to the treatment of an emperor

Secondly, the cost of creating comics is not high

After spending two to three weeks, this comic titled "The Ring" was finally created under the guidance of Higashino Keigo

However, Higashino Keigo is not a film major; his strengths lie in painting. It would be unreasonable to expect him to abandon his strengths and pursue screenwriting for television, hoping to strike it lucky.

Yes

The expenses for food, accommodation, and transportation at home also require money

Takahashi Tsukasa has conducted a detailed investigation

In fact, Higashino Keigo had already begun preparing his first manga.

As for why Higashino Keigo does not follow the traditional path of painters from his previous life

Looking at the empty room, he pinched his chin and couldn't help but exclaim.

This matter requires time to gradually settle

Japan is still the same Japan, and overall, there have not been many changes. However, perhaps it is fate that in this world, Japan has lost many excellent works from previous lives

I would rather cry in a BMW than laugh on the back of a bicycle

Doing odd jobs outside is more reliable than this

However, outsiders tend to enjoy watching tricks; what can be done

This is an excellent opportunity for Higashino Keigo

After the meal, Higashiya Tsukasa stood up to clear the dishes but was stopped by Higashiya Chihaya

Higashino Keigo is a person with low material demands and a modest desire for money

Tsuji Hiroshi opened the envelope

Adapt them into comics, which is bound to generate a substantial profit from the currently struggling Japanese manga industry

They can effortlessly "print" out the comics, novels, and other items they desire from their minds and then sell them for money

If one truly wishes to charge for selling paintings at a street stall, it is necessary to go to specialized streets in Tokyo designated for street vendors or to local festivals that feature such activities
