Chapter 24: Chapter 24: The Finishing Touches (2)

In the anticipation of the little truth, the art competition finally began.

Since the contest is an open-ended drawing on the spot, and the topic is self-designed, it is impossible to cheat or anything.

Through the bird's-eye view, we can see that the senior students set up a lot of tables on the large playground very early, and the contestants also received number plates and stools one after another and walked into the arena, while Mr. Pan held the school's heavy tonnage camera in his hand, ready to record the wonderful performance of the students in the afternoon.

The campus radio station, which usually plays "Eagle Takeoff", has also changed its normal and broadcast simple and brisk songs.

The clock on campus pointed to two o'clock, and the students who participated in the competition were ready with paper, pens and color palettes.

Xiao Zhen and other contestants are also ready, sitting there and already closing their eyes.

After all, for most of the contestants, it is already a complete plan.

"The competition begins, little painters, today's stage is yours, come on!" the principal also changed the usual serious tone of his speech, and announced the start of the competition in an unexpected way.

Since the competition lasted for three hours, Xiao Zhen finally chose to paint watercolor paintings, which are currently more difficult for Xiao Zhen.

As soon as the competition began, Xiao Zhen immediately began to use a pencil to walk the line for the first time, after all, for watercolor painting, composition is very important.

If you don't use a pencil to roughly walk the line, it will be difficult to grasp the position of the picture in the back.

Therefore, Xiao Zhen took a pencil and carefully sketched the lines of the dragon, and slowly the two S-shaped dragon bodies could be vaguely seen from the picture, one horizontal on the left side, the other vertical on the right side, and the middle was marked as a ball.

After all, the most stable composition of painting dragons is this two dragons playing with pearls, so Xiao Zhen also chose to follow this composition.

When the two S-shaped dragon bodies and the orb in the middle form the shape of 'SOS', the composition of the dragon is basically done, and the next step is to express the details with a pencil little by little.

The head position of the first S is the head of the first dragon, and the position of the tail is the tail of the first dragon, and the second dragon is the opposite, the head of the second S is the tail of the second dragon, and the tail of the second S is the head of the second dragon.

With a long sigh of relief, Xiao Zhen began to draw the head of the first dragon with a pencil.

After aligning the position of the mouth with the bead, the distance between the mouths of the next two dragons and the bead was roughly compared. I began to carefully draw the head of the first dragon, and the head is also the part that needs the most strokes when drawing a dragon, after all, the beard, teeth, nostrils, and eyes are all very important parts, and these parts are also very fine.

So, be sure to do it carefully when sketching with a pencil.

Time passed minute by minute, and the first faucet was basically outlined, but Xiao Zhen looked up and saw that it seemed to be slightly larger, and this faucet took up too much space in the picture.

The large faucet also affects the integrity of the picture, but it seems that there is not enough time to start from scratch.

So, Xiao Zhen had no choice but to put down this big head first, and began to draw the dragon head of the other dragon, after all, the boat was naturally straight to the bridge.

Now that you have ridden a wild horse, you can only go down the wild road, the so-called road leads to Rome, not that the time has not come.

As time passed, a lot of beads of sweat had oozed from Xiao Zhen's forehead, and his face was not very ruddy. However, the pen at hand is getting faster and faster.

Finally, the second faucet was successfully drawn, and on the whole, although the first faucet was more abrupt, it had little impact on the whole.

Looking at the abrupt first dragon head, Xiao Zhen suddenly thought that he could hide the first dragon in the clouds, and then he would only need to outline the general shape with a lighter color.

In this way, it doesn't matter if the first faucet is a little bigger. After all, the shadow through the clouds will definitely become larger, and the difficulty lies in how to reflect the hidden dragon in the clouds, and the thickness of the covered pigment must be controlled to have a good picture effect.

I have enough thoughts in my head, but I need to move faster.

As a result, the two dragon tails and limbs have been hooked with a pencil in only a short time, and the shape of the entire two dragons playing with pearls has basically come out.

At this time, it is not time to continue to act quickly, but to take a general look at the composition.

Thinking about how to harmoniously combine the sun at the top of the painting, the mountain next to the dragon, and the sea below, as well as the cloud of the dragon that wraps the first one, and the spirit bead in the middle have become a matter that needs to be carefully considered.

After taking two sips of water, Xiao Zhen erased a few lines and corrected the original composition.

As you can see from the picture, the whole picture is more harmonious.

Next, Xiao Zhen slowly finished making up the dragon scales and other finer parts on the second dragon's body, and began to adjust the watercolor paint.

The light sky blue undertones were filled in by Xiao Zhen with the largest watercolor brush in most of the A3 size canvas.

Next, Xiao Zhen began to carefully sketch the important outline of the second dragon with a dark watercolor brush.

After outlining the main outline, Xiao Zhen began to carefully fill in the dragon scales.

Originally, the scales of the second dragon and the tendons on the back of the dragon were really wanted to be painted with gradient pigments from yellow to orange. However, now that the first dragon is set to be a light shadow in the clouds, the second dragon is the most important part of the whole art to fill in with a sharper gradient.

For the dragon scales in the shape of a carapace, you should be very careful when filling in with a watercolor brush.

It is necessary to make each dragon scale dark in the middle circle like a flower armor, and gradually lighter in color in each circle. So, Xiao Zhen spent a lot of time carefully depicting the second dragon, and the scales were drawn piece by piece.

Next, it's a shallow sketch of the first dragon. All kinds of shades of blue are prepared in the watercolor palette by the little real.

So, with the outline of the two dragons completed. Eventually, an ethereal effect was obtained, and the first dragon and the second dragon appeared to be in harmony on the scroll.

However, in the end, Xiao Zhen was still not satisfied, because he suddenly thought of a poem he had just learned, "A thousand miles of yellow clouds and the sun is shining." So two kinds of light yellow were transferred to outline the dragon's spine of the first dragon, so the picture became more and more perfect.

Xiao Zhen shook his hands, loosened his muscles and began to color the surrounding mountains and rivers, as well as the waves at the bottom.

It's just that the blue paint has been basically used up before, so it's a little annoying to paint the waves halfway through the small reality, no paint for the painter is no bullet in the gun, how should this be good, how should this be good.

Xiao Zhen looked at the other students on the table, some used watercolor pens, some used gouache, and some used oil pastels, but Xiao Zhen was the only one painting with watercolors at the few tables in Fangyuan.

So, all of a sudden, Xiao Zhen was in a predicament, and blue was the three primary colors, and it couldn't be toned.

At this time, Mr. Pan suddenly came to Xiao Zhen's side and took the DV to pat Xiao Zhen's head and smiled at Xiao Zhen and said, "Haha, the river is as green as blue in spring." ”

Xiao Zhen glanced at Mr. Pan gratefully, and immediately began to continue creating. This real assist made Xiao Zhen's mind think of the fact that in the tank battle, Lao Wu drove the tank to the right side of his tank and blocked the key bullets, thus holding the key level.

So, Xiao Zhen immediately seized the time to mix the green paint with the little remaining blue paint, and continued to fill the waves at the bottom.
