You can easily understand the `` impression of illustration '' received from the pose and composition, the January 2020 Manga Awards top drawing making complete version

The production flow of the 'Manga Grand Prize Top Illustration', which is only roughly

described in the Manga Grand Prize recruitment article , is specially released as a treasured document exclusively for GIGAZINE Secret Club (GSC) members. Even at first glance, beautiful and attractive illustrations can be even better if you hold down the point of `` somehow '' that `` a person has such a feeling unconsciously in such a pose '' and `` this kind of composition gives such an impression when you look at it vaguely '' . In order for such amateurs to be able to check from a difficult point of view, corrections and retakes are being made while inviting professionals along the way to nurture 'eye to see illustrations'.

In the second modification, we asked the character to be as close to the left as possible and the specific gravity was still biased, and to move it as close to the center as possible. The thigh line is also conscious of the feeling that 'compositions parallel to the vertical line on the screen look monotonous and conspicuous.' Also, in order to make the impression of holding a long sword with one hand look more powerful, it has been changed so that it can be regained with the right hand in front and feel more powerful. The final rough after reflection is as follows.
