Picking up the bloodstone, Xia Jie thought about it seriously.

A few ideas went through my mind again.

After thinking carefully, he had already made up his mind about what this seal would carve.

"Alright, we're ready to get started. ”

As he spoke, Xia Jie picked up the seal carving knife and began to carve little by little on the top of the seal.

In general, seal engraving is to engrave the big characters at the bottom first.

But Xia Jie went against the grain and took the lead in carving the carving on the top.

"The porcelain master is offline, and the carving master is online!"

"It's worth looking forward to what Dali Jie can carve in the end. ”

"I'm looking forward to it, too, but the way the craftsman holds the knife feels a little weird. ”

"yes, isn't there something special about this technique?"

The barrage flew by one after another in the live broadcast room, and he was very curious about Xia Jie's knife.

At this moment, he held the upper end of the handle with four fingers, and his thumb was closed, as if he was grasping a seal carving knife with a fist.

People who don't know about chapter carving will indeed feel a little weird.

Xia Jie said while carving.

"This way of holding the knife is called the stone cutting method. ”

"The five fingers are closed, which is convenient for force and control force, the handle is vertical, and the corner of the knife can better cut into the stone, so that the two corners of the knife can alternately cut into the stone, and when carving the seal, it can also grasp the changes in the stone in time. ”

"The use of this technique, with one mind, relies on the dexterity of the wrist, and the carved lines are thick and powerful, and the effect will be very good. ”

Xia Jie's hands have not stopped, and the kung fu of speaking, the things to be carved at the top have a preliminary outline.

At the beginning, Xia Jie was still a little cautious, after all, stone and wood are still different.

The texture of stone is much stronger, and the toughness is much worse than that of wood, so it cannot be compared.

But the further you go, the better the state becomes.

Many of the experience and skills of root carving mastered, at this moment, there is no hindrance in the chapter carving, which can be described as easy.

This made Xia Jie also have a lot of confidence.

"Brother Xiaojie's hands are so steady, and the shape of his hands looks so good. ”

"Tsk, the carving skills of the craftsmen are unfathomable!"

"Live broadcast, do you want to come to our store, I can make you the chief master!"

"Someone is poaching Dajie again!"

"Upstairs upstairs, just give up, Dali Jie is a master craftsman, not bad for money!"

"Master carving, what are you going to carve? ”

"Carving a dragon, how about the dragon pillar?"

"The heart upstairs is really big, this is Zhang Diao, what a big place. ””

"Then carve a giant panda! This top is carved round and round, and it fits the giant panda at first glance!"

......

In the live broadcast room, many netizens are discussing.

Inside the house, Xia Jie held a seal carving knife and carved calmly.

Time passed quietly, and before I knew it, a few hours had passed.

"What the hell is the carving master going to carve? ”

"You see, this seal is slender and long, if the top is carved a little sharper, the lethality will be there immediately, the hunter must be carving a hidden weapon, fly out, the game can't run away!"

"The second disease upstairs, the imagination is really rich, come from Tangjiabao, tens of thousands of bloodstones, used to make hidden weapons, it's really a big deal. ”

"Haha, the more you talk about it, the more it looks like Assassin's Creed, Assassin Jay, when will you show a wave?"

The smaller this thing is, the more laborious it is to carve!

Although Xia Jie has sufficient stamina, after carving for an hour, he still has to take a break.

After all, the toughness of the stone is different, if one is not checked, it will go wrong.

There was no work in his hands, Xia Jie looked up at the complaints in the live broadcast room, and couldn't help laughing.

"Don't worry, what I'm going to carve, you'll know later. ”

"Well, since the carving master said so, then I'll wait and see what happens. ”

"Now that the society is impetuous, there are not many young people who can calm down and carry forward the skills left by our ancestors like anchors, continue to work hard!"

"I shouted for the craftsman: Next, it's time to witness the miracle!"

"Brother Jie, come on, no matter what you carve, I support it!"

Because of Xia Jie's words, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room instantly became warm again.

Xia Jie smiled slightly, picked up the seal carving knife, and continued to carve.

Syllable!

A stone chip falls.

Smack!

Two more redundant stone chips splashed.

After some refinement, a crouching lion has begun to emerge.

Xia Jie squinted and looked at the semi-finished product.

The blade continued, and then carved out the lion's eyes, nose, and delicate mane.

The drone gave a close-up shot, which made the audience's eyes light up and they exclaimed.

"Okay, don't guess, I know, it's a lion carved this time!"

"Brother, your eyes are good, but I think everyone knows it. ”

"Isn't this nonsense, the carver has even carved out the hair, who can't tell that it's a lion. ”

"It's a traditional lion statue, but the mane looks so silky!"

"It's not just the mane, you see the lion's eyes are wide open, not angry and arrogant, full of momentum!"

"One thing to say, this seal is very beautifully carved!"

"As far as the craftsmanship of Da Jie, I don't think it's a lion, even if it's not impossible to carve a peony on a stone!"

......

After some careful work, the whole lion has taken shape.

Xia Jie nodded with satisfaction, and then said as he held up the seal in his hand.

"You're right, I'm carving a lion. ”

"In our Chinese folk culture, the lion is one of the auspicious people, the embodiment of wisdom and strength, meaning prosperity, auspiciousness, symbolizing status, dignity and peace, so it is also a common decoration choice on the seal. ”

"What do you think of this lion I carved?"

"The anchor is absolutely amazing, just rush this craft, I can do it three times with one click!"

"Don't ask, I'm already eager to rob it!"

"I seem to be able to feel the vitality in the eyes of this little lion, what a lion, what a lion!"

"It's so easy to see the craftsmanship carving, this seems to be simpler than the root carving!"

"Hehe, it's easy, this is called difficult, it is not difficult, you can try it yourself, whether it is a root carving, or this chapter carving, after trying, see if you can still say the word 'simple'. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have learned to carve seals before, but I don't have any skills, I don't have any patience, and I really can't do it!"

Then, Xia Jie blew away the powder attached to the seal.

Then I looked at it again to see if there were any omissions or blemishes that needed to be fixed.

Seeing Xia Jie's seriousness, netizens in the live broadcast room also praised him.

"Well, it is said that serious men are the most handsome, this statement is true, the anchor is as stylish as me!"

"Craftsmen should have this spirit of excellence, and they can't tolerate sloppiness!"

"Bang huh, the anchor's side face is so good, it's just a side face kill!"

"Maybe it's because of this serious attitude towards the work that the works of the craftsmen will be so perfect. ”

After a while, Xia Jie raised his head, glanced at the live broadcast room and said.

"Hehe, it's actually nothing, I just like it. ”

"Being serious about what you like is the joy of life. Okay, now that it's done as a modified lion, the next step is to engrave. ”

"Hehe, Brother Xiaojie's chicken soup for the soul is a little fresh and refined!"

"Yes, being serious about what you like is the joy of life, just like I like a girl, chasing her, I'm also very serious, no matter what the ending is, it's good to be happy in the process. ”

"Look at your description, did you sing a cool song at the end?"

"I suggest that this little brother watch more videos of craftsmen, not to mention learning what carving, painting and drawing, can learn the cooking skills of craftsmen, and worry about no foodies to go with you?"

"Yes, why is the big husband having no wife? just learn more from the anchor, just like me, who has now resigned and become a chef, roar!"

"When it comes to seal lettering, I mastered it when I was in elementary school, and the material is the best eraser in the stationery store, but it's a pity that there was no live broadcast at that time, otherwise I guess I would have been popular!"

"Upstairs, I also remembered when you said that, I also used an eraser to carve seals when I was a child!

"Haha, I always take the rubber carving at the same table, and the girl paper is easy to talk to!"

"This wave of memories kills, I burst into tears. ”

"Yo, it seems that the master is in the people, or I will carve one now. ”

"Forget it, compared to Dalijie, it's far worse. ”

"When you were young, you didn't try to carve a stone pen except for carving an eraser?"

"Yes, yes, there's so much to do!"

......

In the live broadcast room, you say everything I say, and the atmosphere is so lively.

The content of the seal lettering is like a key, which opens up the childhood memories of netizens.

The sour, sweet, bitter, or happy past came to my mind one by one.

However, to say a positive, sunny exclamation can also be skewed to emotional topics.

This is something that Xia Jie didn't expect.

Seeing that everyone was more interested in the content of the seal lettering, he also mentioned more.

"In fact, if you are idle, you can also try carving seals by yourself, it is relatively simple to get started, materials, wood, stone, and even the eraser you just mentioned can be used to practice. ”

"Oh, really? How?"

"Then you still need to ask, wait to see how the craftsman does it, and draw the gourd in the same way!"

"There must be a trick up there, right?"

Xia Jie put the bloodstone chapter in his hand upside down, and then raised three fingers and said.

"For beginners, the process of lettering can be roughly divided into three steps, the most important of which is the first step, which is to design the print. ”

"The so-called printing manuscript is that you draw the things you want to engrave first, and it should be noted that the size of the painting is best similar to the size of the printing stone, and the paper is better than rice paper. ”

As he spoke, Xia Jie took out a brush and paper.

Immediately dipped in ink, on the paper silver hook pen wrote two words: Xia Jie.

Then a border was traced around the white paper.

At a glance, these two words are plump and majestic, the body is broad, the bones are strong, and the white space of the border and font is also just right, which is very pleasing to the eye.

"The word Dali Jie is really beautifully written, no worse than carving!"

"Alas, when I was a child, I practiced calligraphy, but unfortunately I haven't mastered it yet, and this burden can only be left to my future son!"

Looking at Dalijie's words, and then at his own words, he suddenly felt like a dog, and he had been beaten out of human shape. ”

"If it were me, I would write the eight big characters of 'both by the mandate of heaven, and the longevity of Yongchang', is the spirit of the king coming to my face?"

"Upstairs, the premise is that you have to write it well, and the minimum standard must be like Dalijie, otherwise it won't be the spirit of the king, but the spirit of the king. ”

"The brush is full of childhood memories!"

......

"This first step of printing, here is almost it, the content of the print, not necessarily words, can also be a painting or your favorite logo, no problem. ”

Xia Jie paused and explained.

"Next, you can print the manuscript on the stone, don't be in a hurry at this step. ”

"The stamp and the stone must be aligned and fitted, and if you deviate from it in the slightest, the final seal will become unsightly because of distortion. ”

With that, he placed the printed name on the surface of the stone.

Netizens found that the size of the frame of the seal and the size of the bloodstone seal are indeed a perfect fit, surprisingly consistent, and it can really be described as a seamless fit.

Audiences with obsessive-compulsive disorder saw this scene, and their hearts were immediately refreshed.

Once aligned, use a cotton swab or a clean brush dipped in a little water and wet the print until it is completely soaked. ”

In this way, the role of rice paper that I recommended earlier can be seen here, because rice paper is very absorbent, you see, whether it is completely glued. ”

Xia Jie raised the bottom of the seal and said.

"Yes, yes, the surface of the rice paper and the stone are completely glued together. ”

"This should be the same as the folding paper in the painting, right?"

Xia Jie bowed slightly, and continued to explain patiently.

"The reason is almost the same, when you want to engrave it in a while, you can follow the content on the rice paper to engrave, isn't it very convenient. ”

"Of course, if you are proficient in the future, you can also skip these two steps directly, write directly on the seal stone, and carve it with a knife. ”

"Forget it, Dalijie, I don't have your skills, so I'm better at printing. ”

"The anchor is really loving, he can fly directly, and he explains to us step by step. ”

"Craftsman, what about after the manuscript is stoned? I see that you have been delaying the carving knife, what are you waiting for?"

Xia Jie then pointed to the seal and said: "Don't be in a hurry, let the rice paper absorb the water first, and then use the knife when it is seven or eight minutes dry. ”

The breeze blowing outside the window brought a faint fragrance of flowers, and inadvertently, took away the moisture on the rice paper.

After waiting for a while, Xia Jie took a look, felt that he was almost done, picked up the carving knife again, and carved it on the bloodstone.

"I don't need to say more about the last step, just engrave it, but don't learn from me in the posture of holding a knife, just use the normal posture of holding a pen. ”

"When engraving, engrave according to the manuscript, and be careful with one stroke, basically there will be no major problems. ”

Xia Jie's explanation was very detailed and his thinking was very clear.

After listening to the explanation, netizens were also full of interest, and they said that they would try it when they went back.

Compared with the high threshold of root carving and bamboo carving, this seal seems to be quite easy to get started.
