66. why learn to draw

After becoming CEO, it was difficult to get off work on time.

Still, I tried to get off work without passing as much time as possible. That way, other people won’t notice and you can leave work quickly.

Of course, that wasn’t all.

“Is your brother here? The meal is ready, so wait a minute!”

“okay.”

The intimate time he spent with his wife, Yoona, was also precious.

“I’ll do some more exercise here.”

“okay. okay.”

Sitting in front of the PC in the workroom, he puts on a glove on his right hand and picks up a pen.

‘How far did you work yesterday?’

When I select the latest file and run it, an unfinished character picture comes to mind.

‘I have to finish the coloring today.”

painting.

illustration.

This was Taeyeon’s new hobby.

* * *

Taeyeon has been making games by herself since she was young, and thanks to this, she was able to complete all the parts.

However, because he was a private person, he could not do everything well.

I always regretted that, but the situation changed thanks to the existence of the bracelet and the experience level increase skill.

If you study and work hard, your competence will increase.

Very little, but… … That’s important.

Regardless of the talent or not, it was possible to increase the ability level as much as the effort was made.

Due to this, planning, programming, etc. I started studying the field that I was sorry for, and as a result, my game development capabilities steadily improved.

Among them, the field that I put the most effort into was art.

Especially the illustrations.

‘I’ve always been really jealous of people who can draw well.’

I really had no talent for drawing.

No matter how hard I tried, my skills didn’t improve.

However, the ability increase option of the mysterious bracelet solved this talent problem.

So, starting with imitation, I immersed myself in painting diligently.

It was very little, but I could feel that my skills were improving, so it couldn’t be that much fun.

For Taeyeon, painting was like a game, not an exercise.

shuck, shuck

“… … .”

how much time has passed

“done.”

The painting is finally complete.

I look at the pictures that fill the monitor with a proud face.

It was a character illustration of Yoona doing rhythmic gymnastics in a stadium full of spectators and reporters.

Looking at the picture, Taeyeon’s eyes shook with emotion.

‘I can’t believe the day will come when I’ll be able to draw like this… … .’

It’s not crazy enough for the top illustrators working with at the company, but it’s a great picture that I won’t miss anywhere.

Especially in the middle of the flash baptism exploding from all directions, the detail of Yoona’s expressions and movements, confidently immersed in acting, is really… … .

“and… … Isn’t this me?”

“… … !”

At that time, the voice from behind made me angry!

“Did you know you could do something like this? Are you good at drawing like this?”

“Uh, when did you come?”

“I’ve been watching you for a while. I think it’s the first time I’ve seen my brother draw… … I didn’t know you could draw this well.”

Embarrassment comes like a wave.

“Look out. I want to see you properly.”

“Ugh, ugh.”

Stand up and hand over your chair.

Yoona Kim, sitting in her seat, zooms in on the painting and examines it in more detail.

“You know I get a lot of fan art, right?”

“Well what… … .”

Two rooms were being used as Yoona’s exhibition halls. It was a space filled with works for her that were gifted from famous artists around the world.

There were a lot of really good paintings there.

“I’m not an expert on painting, so I don’t know the details, but I have an eye for it. I have been to many exhibitions… … .”

Yoona’s eyes toward the painting were shining more than ever.

“You drew this really well. Especially the details of my expressions and movements… … Did you draw this after watching my last Olympic final?”

“Yes.”

At that time, Yoona showed a tremendous performance and won the gold medal with an overwhelming score.

It is a picture of one of the most impressive scenes.

“Give me this! will you give it? huh?”

“Well what… … But what are you going to do?”

“You should be proud! Send this as a file on messenger.”

“To file?”

“I will post it on social media. hurry!”

“Yes… … .”

Taeyeon was embarrassed, but since Yoona urged her like that, she reluctantly sent the picture file.

“Wait a minute.”

Yoona, who was fiddling with her phone, grinned.

“Watch. Something very strange will happen.”

Deed Deed Deed!

Notification messages pour in like crazy.

“Is this your first time seeing something like this?”

Feedback on social media posts was flooding.

“I put it like this.”

Shows your posts.

It was two pictures.

A photo taken from the back of a scene in which you are immersed in your work. And the final product you sent.

It has comments like:

[A surprise gift from my brother. I never thought I could draw so well. Surprising and touching… … thank you brother love you!]

The number of likes exceeded 6 digits and the number of comments exceeded 4 digits.

“If you refresh like this… … .”

On the updated screen, the number of likes was seven digits.

That’s over a million!

in that short time!

I don’t do social media, but I know the flow well.

It is difficult to come up with numbers like this even for tolerable idol stars.

‘This is possible because Yoona is a world-class sports star, right?’

“Look at the comments. Everyone is praising my brother’s drawing!”

-Oh, what a great drawing skill!

-I heard that you are a game producer… … Were you originally from art? The skill is worth it.

-Incredible. It is a skill comparable to that of a professional illustrator.

I couldn’t read anymore because my face was so hot.

Even at this moment, the number of likes and comments was rising at an abnormal speed. Yoona turned off the notification setting and said.

“Are you going to continue drawing?”

“Is that right?”

“Then, take this opportunity to start using SNS. I drew a good picture at best, but it feels good to upload it so that many people can see it and receive feedback. It is also rewarding.”

“hmm… … .”

show me my picture

‘I’m attracted to you.’

“Where should we try?”

“I will help you!”

I created an account with Yoona’s help.

The idea is (Love_YunaQueen001)

It seems playful and crude, but in reality it was not.

There are so many fan accounts with similar names, so I had a hard time deciding.

“done. Isn’t the ID pretty?”

“… … .”

“Why no answer? what is that expression no? Don’t you like it?”

“no… … It’s pretty and nice.”

“right?”

“huh.”

His expression, which had been about to become stern, brightened again.

“If you draw a picture in the future, show it to me first. Understand?”

“okay. okay.”

“I’ll take a shower and come back!”

Yoona heads for the bathroom with a strange smile on her face.

‘It was dangerous. No, is it still dangerous?’

Taeyeon, scratching her head, sat down on a chair and accessed Yoona’s SNS account again.

Likes: 1,744,667

Comments: 566,443

“It’s really amazing,”

A huge amount of feedback that ordinary people can’t even imagine!

Check out the comments slowly.

Some point out regrets and there are indiscreet profanities. But mostly it was praise.

However, it was this evaluation that Taeyeon paid attention to.

– It’s not at the professional level, but it’s still quite good. The composition is good, especially the expression and movement details are good. There is a lot of love for the subject. You seem to have a talent for drawing, so if you work harder, I think you can draw a much better picture!

‘This is a cold and accurate assessment.’

An amateur who knows how to draw!

‘If it wasn’t for Yoona, I wouldn’t have received much attention.’

I picked up my pen again.

‘Let’s try to draw better.’

I had a goal.

‘I’m trying to make a game that’s perfect, even the art, and release it!’

* * *

When I go to work, I talk to them from all directions.

“I saw PD-nim’s drawing! Are you skilled enough?”

“No, why are you in the chair? Anyone who clearly knows that the Wonhwa team is struggling because of the lack of people… … Shouldn’t you join us soon?”

The people who showed the most interest were former illustrators.

Hong Min-seok approaches with politeness and a smirk.

“One hundred thousand won a month!”

“… … ?”

“This is the monthly tuition fee. I’ll make you a pro illustrator in no time! Wahahahaha!”

He must have said it as a joke, but Taeyeon was serious about it.

‘If I take tutoring, my skills will improve quickly, right?’

It will be close to home as well.

this… … ?

“uh? Are you sure you want to try it?”

Hong Min-seok is taken aback by Tae-yeon’s reaction.

“AD-nim Hong Min-seok is the best original artist I know. He is also very good at teaching.”

“That, that’s what… … .”

“If I give you 100,000 won, are you really going to make me a professional original artist?”

“… … yes?”

“I am seriously thinking about it. Is it really possible?”

Only then did Hong Min-seok pause.

It really wasn’t a joke.

“Eh, ah… … Even though… … .”

Brains spinning desperately!

“100,000 won a month is a little… … I just threw it as a joke… … .”

Tutoring by the most talented person in active service.

Do you think you can do just fine?

Taeyeon’s temperament as a matchmaker flashed.

“One million won a month, once a week for an hour! Meals provided!”

“… … !”

“You can choose a place that is convenient for you. You can come to my house or I can visit you… … .”

“Ugh… … Now, wait a minute. All of a sudden, things get really good… … .”

Hong Min-seok AD’s painting tutoring?

Come to think of it, it was very good luck.

“Two million won!”

“I’ll do it!”

Deal made!

“Let’s have an hour of tutoring at 11:00 on Saturday and have lunch together at home. It would be nice if AD Lee Young-ae came along too.”

I ask the girl who just came up next to me.

“How is it?”

“I agree! Wouldn’t it be great if we could get to know our gymnastics goddess on this occasion?”

“Is that so? Didn’t think of that. Friendship with the gymnastics goddess… … Mmm!”

Taeyeon hits the nail.

“I think it would be nice to have a barbecue party once a month. My wife loves a place like that.”

“Big, bar, barbecue party… … .”

“Sometimes it would be nice to go on a trip as a couple. isn’t it? Youngae Lee AD.”

“Wow, that sounds like fun! I will.”

at last.

“Ugh… … !”

widely!

Hong Min-seok hit the table with all his might.

“call! eleven o’clock on Saturday morning. A visit with a couple!”

“It was a good deal.”

Two men shaking hands to signify a deal.

At this situation, Lee Young-ae burst into laughter.

Meal time.

“You are still good enough, is there any other reason you want to learn seriously now?”

“hmm… … .”

Can I speak to these people?

“I’m going to try one-person development once again as a hobby.”

“One-person development?”

“Are you coming now?”

“Working with a team is fun, but developing alone has its own flavor.”

At the same time, he secretly reveals numerous game plans that he has made since his school days.

“and… … .”

“So many… … .”

It was one of the proofs of how crazy Taeyeon was in game development.

Taeyeon said with a slightly excited face.

“There are several projects that had to be abandoned due to my lack of art skills. We are trying to develop and implement them one by one.”

What I took out was an idle mobile game.

“It’s about raising a Elementalist.”

Concept art drawn with clumsy skills was also released.

“It’s a combination of a breeding simulation and an idle RPG, in which the player develops an elf girl he picked up in the forest into a good elementalist.”

As we talked excitedly, the lunch break passed.

It was a situation where they were talking one-sidedly, but Hong Min-seok and Lee Young-ae were listening with interest.

“… … That’s pretty much the plan.”

“sounds fun. The design of the elf girl, who is the adopted daughter of the spirit, must be important. I want to be as cute and lovable as possible.”

“I guess so.”

“I think it would be difficult to do it alone… … How about three?”

“Three?”

“Actually, we were also seriously studying game planning and development, but there were a lot of difficult parts… … Do this! PD-nim teaches us development, and we teach PD-nim art. And the three of us are making it!”

“Ohh, that sounds like fun.”

okay… … No, it was an interesting suggestion.

“If you agree, I will not take the drawing tutoring fee in exchange for learning development!”

“… … huh?”

When Hong Min-seok looked at him in bewilderment, Lee Young-ae smiled and struck him on the side.

“Ouch!”

“how is it?”

Taeyeon broke down in sweat as she saw Hong Min-seok in great pain. And answered.

“Yeah, you do that.”
