Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 199

Everybody could see how hardworking Aryan was, even from the audience area.

Another half an hour had passed, and the storyboard was finally nearing completion.

But as long as the storyboard was not completed, it would be hard to carry out the initial sketching later.

Half of the time for this competition had passed by.

Not far away, Nina was looking relaxed on her seat as she was leisurely completing her drawing.

She was indeed talented. She was putting down strokes after strokes with ease and accuracy too.

Her outline was very pretty. Although this was just the initial outline, one could see how the final artwork would look like just by laying eyes on her outline.

She had only brought two assistants with her, and these two assistants were tasked with erasing excessive strokes of drawing after she had completed a few scenes of the storyboard.

Basically, Nina’s drawing couldn’t be faulted at all, and there was nothing extra about it. Therefore, she didn’t need to bring a lot of assistants to help her. Her current assistants looked vacant too as they were seated on her sides.

She lived up to her name as a talented artist. She was able to cement her position in the industry mainly because of her talent and capability.

Emily removed her gaze from Nina on the big screen and continued to watch Aryan intently.

Compared to Aryan, Nina would still lose in terms of speed. Despite that, Nina was almost done with the whole artwork while Aryan was still struggling with the storyboard.

Sally who was on the side was now nervous with beads of sweats covering her forehead, “What should we do now? What if he can’t complete it in time?”

“Emily, what do you think we should do? If this situation persists, we can’t know for sure that our team will advance to the next round.”

“If we can’t advance this afternoon, we don’t need to come anymore tomorrow.”

“Lois should just start with the sketch like usual. He doesn’t have time to worry about Rufus Graham this time.”

“We can talk about Rufus’ part tomorrow. If we can’t break through our current predicament, our future strategies all won’t be of any use.”

“But, can Aryan hear s? Emily, is there any way we can inform him not to care about Rufus’ part and focusing on advancing today?”

“What should we do? The storyboard is not completed yet…”

“What should we do?”

After some time, all the worries and complaints finally ceased to exist near Emily.

Sally was not complaining anymore. She looked unreadable, but it was a relief she was not calling out unnecessarily anymore.

It felt like Sally had expanded in size because they had been stuck together although there were only the two of them sitting next to each other.

However, Emily didn’t bother to find out about the reason Sally had been forcing herself on her despite they had enough space around their seats. She didn’t want to find out why Sally had somehow expanded in size and made them feel packed.

She couldn’t care about trivial matters now as all her attention was focused on Aryan at the moment.

Aryan’s speed was incomparable to his usual speed when he was constructing the storyboard today.

Despite that, in Emily’s eyes, he had already done his best.

Somehow, his storyboard was constructed with even greater details compared to how he had done it normally. Time was ticking fast, and it was already one hour and forty minutes since the commencement of the competition.

Finally! Aryan finally started to work on sketching the outlines!

“Wow!”

Suddenly, there was an uproar stemming from the crowd.

Emily’s heart contracted as her gaze was fixed on the big screen. She couldn’t even bring herself to breathe normally!

She finally understood why Aryan was slower than usual when drawing the storyboard.

It turned out that he wasn’t just merely slower, he was actually adding in an additional procedure hidden within his movements. He was setting up reference points for the sketch later on!

For the uninitiated, they would not understand why Aryan was randomly scribbling dots after dots from the screen. Besides Aryan himself, nobody could discern his real motive.

They all thought that he was just randomly leaving behind small dots!

But Emily could finally see it now!

Those dots were not random dots; they were in fact the reference points for his sketch now!

After Aryan had finished with his storyboard and was now working on the sketch, those dots were finally being put into use.

This time, each character’s face, limbs and figure could be instantly produced by using the reference points. He didn’t even need to think too much about the process!

Furthermore, with how his artwork looked like at the moment, there was no need for others to add in strokes of lines later on!

“My God! Is he… still human? He’s more like a machine now!”

Someone from the audience area exclaimed.
