I am the Entertainment Tycoon-Chapter 231 Theo, The Mangaka

Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.

While the new volume and his novel were released throughout the country, Theo had a busy day on that first day of December.

After spending most of the morning at the creative meeting in the Tokyo Studios, after the meeting ended, he went straight home.

He had too many things to do, and he could not afford to slack off.

Initially, he planned to go back to his music album production that he stopped last Friday, but after he received Sayuri's request to send the next Manga volumes for the next months, Theo decided to draw these mangas instead.

After all, currently, his main source of money came from the sales of mangas and light novels.

So, Theo could not afford to delay the production of these works.

Theo arrived in the animation studio of his house that could also work as a manga studio.

He got on his seat and closed his eyes to mull over the manga he would draw.

He would first draw the fourth volume of the [Naruto] manga.

As the most popular manga in his company, he had to pay extra attention when he draw it.

Mostly because Theo was not only copying the manga that the system had given him.

The system had given him the complete manga.

But he felt that he could adjust some things in the manga.

For example, the same drawing aesthetics throughout the whole work.

Because it was evident in the complete manga inside his head that the aesthetics of the manga changed throughout the volumes.

There were other aspects of the story that Theo would change, but that would only happen in the later volumes.

Therefore, at the moment Theo only had to adapt some things.

That's why he closed his eyes.

He wanted to simulate the changes he would do.

After a while, Theo opened his eyes.

He looked at the graphic digital table in front of him with focused eyes.

His hand was holding the digital pen with a firm grip.

He was ready to draw!

Theo, the Mangaka was ready to work.

It takes a long time to become a mangaka.

Many manga artists have been drawing since they were in grade school. They honed their skills through many years of practice. A number of them even took the time to take art courses in college.

It wasn't just that they took the time to practice drawing one hour a day. In fact, most of them drew for at least five hours every day. Naturally, the more that they drew, the better and faster they got at doing it.

But for Theo that was not necessary.

With his amazing motor coordination and eidetic memory, his hands could perfectly draw the contents without any mistake.

It was as if his hands were a printing machine.

If it was any other mangaka, the time used to draw the [Naruto] manga volume would be weeks.

But with Theo, he could finish it in days.

That was an amazing speed!

It also helped that Theo was using digital equipment.

Manga artists who draw digitally are twice as fast as those who draw traditionally. They normally use drawing tablets.

But Theo was using even better equipment.

A graphic digital table was the most high=end product for digital artists.

The table had all the features used to facilitate the work of the artist.

After all, with quality equipment, a good artist can make wonders.

It doesn't matter if the artist drawing traditionally or digitally. Either way, the quality of the materials matters. And as professionals, mangakas use the best that they can afford to make their process easier.

For example, if Theo were using traditional methods, the barrel size of the pen will affect the speed of his work. If he is not comfortable with the pen, he will draw slower. And if he is using a pencil, having graphite that tends to smudge easily will dirty his work. This means that he would have to pause to ensure that the page stays clean.

But because Theo was drawing digitally, the speedy response of his digital graphic table will matter. The last thing he wanted was to experience delays and lags with your programs.

But he did not have to worry about delays and lags with the equipment in his studio, after all, this equipment was given to him by the system.

His digital graphic table was even better than others in the market.

It was practically impossible to malfunction.

A normal mangaka has a unique style of drawing characters.

Manga artists will understandably take longer to draw a character that is not theirs. However, their speed of drawing would still be faster than if other mangakas attempt. 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com

This is because manga artists know the foundations of drawing. They have mastered human anatomy, framing, and perspectives. As such, they don't have to double-check and make sure that the hands they're drawing look just right. They also don't have to repeatedly erase and redraw a scene to get the right proportions.

In this sense, manga artists are confident in their skills. They know what they're doing. This makes the drawing process faster and easier.

But with Theo, it was not a problem for him to replicate perfectly the drawing style of the other people.

Another thing was that normal magakas had assistants.

The truth is that individual manga artists can only do so much. As such, many of them employ manga assistants who deal with the backgrounds, shading and toning. In this sense, manga artists can draw faster because they have help. They only need to draw the characters or the foundational elements. Their assistants will then fill in everything else.

Who would not remember seeing animes about manga production where a mangaka had some assistants to help draw the chapters faster?

Why Theo did not have assistants then?

Well, that was because he did not need it.

The effect would be reversed instead.

Because the assistants probably would not be able to follow Theo's pace of drawing.

Theo could be faster than other mangakas without hiring any assistants.

Another reason why Theo can finish the mangas faster is because of his enhanced physique.

Drawing for a long time can make the fingers and arm ache.

In fact, at a certain point, the mangaka's back and legs will also begin to experience numbness.

Why? Because the body has yet to adjust to the toil involved in drawing.

This is why beginner artists take a lot of breaks when they draw. They need to stretch their fingers and body constantly. They need to rest before they continue with their work. As such, it also takes them longer to complete a drawing.

In contrast, professional manga artists can draw for long periods of time without a break.

In fact, mangakas like Eiichiro Oda are famous for drawing for eight hours straight. Hence, they are also able to finish their drawings faster.

And Theo's case was even more absurd than Eiichiro's.

Theo could draw for an entire day without resting!

All due to the fact that his body surpassed a normal human physique.

But even though he could do that, he would still be mentally tired in the end.

After all, it was not easy to stay focused for so many hours.

The focus was the key.

It's not manga artists don't need a break; it's that they don't want to take a break.

It is not healthy.

However, it is a fact that they are known for their extreme work ethic.

And Theo was not different.

When manga artists begin to draw, they put their entire focus into it. This is why many mangakas end up missing meals. Once they start on something, they won't stop until they're done with it.

They're also not the type to converse with others while drawing. They don't watch TV or check their phones. Instead, they get rid of distractions. They place themselves in a room where they only give attention to their work. Naturally, this single-mindedness and the lack of distraction make them finish drawings faster.

Theo's studio did not have any distractions.

His entire focus was on the drawing in front of him.

Like that, Theo started drawing the fourth volume of the [Naruto] manga.
