"Like this, if you add some patterns..."

In the afternoon classroom, Reiner recalled the painting skills in the aristocratic memory while guiding the girl in front of her.

Xia Luo was holding a pen and depicting it little by little on the canvas.

After studying alchemy, Reiner relied on his remaining artistic literacy to tutor Xia Luo's painting studies. Although he was not as good as those masters of painting, it was enough as an introductory instructor.

Xia Luo outlined a vivid image of a rabbit in just a few strokes. As a student who has just learned to draw systematically for less than a week, her progress has been very fast.

From Xia Luo, Reiner probably learned about the girl's childhood.

Since childhood, Xia Luo has been very interested in painting and is very talented. However, in this era, painting is a thankless act. Various painting tools and paints are expensive. Unless they are a nobleman with a high status or a rookie who has mastered famous masters, it is impossible to sell their own paintings at all.

Yes, there has not yet been a profession like a designer in this world. The main income of a painter is to sell his own paintings and be a teacher to the children of aristocrats. Unless he is gifted, it is difficult to make a living.

It is also based on this that when Xia Luo's father learned that she wanted to learn painting, he immediately threw all the tools for painting out of the house, trying to kill this dream in the cradle.

The sensible Xia Luo naturally understood the reason and has not been mentioned in these years.

However, when Reiner came to her with the note written by Xia Luo with her wish written by her, Xia Luo was still surprised.

On the note, it was written in beautiful font: I want to learn to draw and become a painter.

Xia Luo thought Reiner was just a joke, but the principal found himself with painting tools and books.

"The label you designed before seems very popular, Xia Luo, it seems that you are indeed talented in painting."

Reiner said that the labels on the Crescent Coke bottle are very eye-catching and can be quickly identified and impressive. This is naturally due to the designer Xia Luo.

“I still have a lot to learn.”

Xia Luo was not complacent. She knew that she was just an entry-level apprentice now and had to constantly learn from the experience of the masters to grow rapidly.

"By the way, have you tried to draw portraits?"

Thinking of some plans that have not yet been formed, Reiner asked.

"Portrait? Some attempts."

As if he had some understanding, Xia Luo took out his sketchbook.

It was an ordinary notebook. When you open it, there were sketches drawn by pencils, fruits and vegetables, and various magical instruments. Although it could not be said to be lifelike, it was above average.

"This is what I secretly painted after I came to school."

Explained that Xia Luo turned to one of the pages, which was painted with a woman in a robe. Reiner looked carefully and found out that it was Claire.

Since Xia Luo had no teacher and relied on her own exploration, she was completely different from the styles of those portrait masters. For example, the portrait of Claire in front of her is more like a cartoon image than a sketch, highlighting Claire's characteristics. Although it is a bit different from real people, by identifying the characteristics, it is quickly recognized that this is the director.

"Genius."

Reiner couldn't help but be amazed that this method of symbolizing characteristics was the core technique in comics that were popular all over the world on Earth. The girl in front of her actually learned such a technique without a teacher in such a world where entertainment and culture are not yet developed. Reiner can only say that she has picked up a treasure.

"Well, I don't draw well, I don't look like Teacher Claire at all."

Xia Luo thought Reiner was talking politely, and immediately closed the sketchbook shyly.

"No, no, no, your method of depicting characters should be the mainstream of the future, or to be precise, the mainstream of commercialization."

Reiner explained that in large-scale industrial production, the more complex and realistic designs are, the higher the cost, and it is difficult to give customers an intuitive impression in a short period of time. On the contrary, symbolic and distinctive designs will be more impressive and more recognizable in people's minds, and the cost of maintaining such designs will be lower.

The information of complex and realistic characters is too large, and the human brain cannot remember it for a short time. The incomplete parts are easily discarded by ineffective information. Simple and intuitive symbols are just the opposite. This is also one of the reasons why the logos of those well-known brands on the earth are extremely concise.

Of course, Reiner did not mean to let Xia Luo draw comics, but he did need a painter who could draw portraits. He originally wanted to ask if Oriana had any way, but he didn't expect that he could get it without any effort.

Smack--

The hallway was filled with the iconic footsteps, and Reiner looked up and saw Claire in maid outfit bulging her cheeks and trotting in her skirt.

"Why are you so panicked?"

Reiner took out the handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Claire. The dean took the handkerchief without thinking and wiped the sweat from his forehead. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"Uh, I'll wash it and return it to you."

Claire was a little embarrassed, as if she was still resistant to accepting Reiner's favor. She put away her handkerchief and continued.

"Not good, Piram has indeed started to act."

"What's wrong?"

Reiner was not anxious and was not surprised by Claire's words.

"They imitated Coke, and now all the shops related to Piram alchemy workshops have this drink called Piram Coke."

Claire took out a black bottle from his pocket, the bottle of which was decorated with exaggerated posters, but no iconic bubbles emerged from the bottle.

"I've had a little drink and it tasted similar to my sugar water, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Claire stared blankly as Reiner took the bottle of Coke from his hand and took a sip.

"But there is no gas pouring in, or the gas cannot be mixed with sugar water."

Reiner quickly confirmed the ingredients of this "Cola", like a completely breathless cola. Although the taste is not much different, it always lacks charm.

After glanced at the text on the label, Reiner soon discovered Piram Coke's marketing methods.

"Is it selling at half price? Although it is a little worse than buying one and getting one, it seems that Piram can achieve his current position, but it seems that it is difficult to coordinate costs and profits in this way."

Although the pace was faster than Reiner imagined, everything was still under his control. I am afraid that Piram would never dream of stepping into the trap set by Reiner step by step and becoming the original victim.

"Teacher Claire, let's prepare and go to the Antoine Alchemist Workshop."

Reiner said, but found Claire staring at Piram Coke in his hand, his cheeks flushed.

This is what I have drunk!
