After making these marks, Li Yu did not immediately start carving. Instead, start drawing a basic image on the basis of those marks.

In fact, for some old craftsmen, there is basically no difference between painting and not painting. However, for a person like Li Yu, who is a halfway monk, these preparations are still very necessary.

Carving is actually a test of a person's three-dimensional sense, after all, if a fruit core is placed there, it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine the shape of the fruit core after carving.

Even if some images are drawn on it, it is difficult for the average person to think of the shape of the finished product based on these marks. After all, this kind of painting is more of a sign.

Li Yu made preparations, then put down the marker in his hand, and took out a flat wooden box about fifteen centimeters wide, twenty centimeters long, and three centimeters high from the drawer.

Open the box, inside is a complete set of engraving knives. Speaking of this set of carving knives, there is still a bit of origin.

When he was in high school, Li Yu began to switch to art. Because the foundation was too poor, the school's art teacher recommended Li Yu to go to make up classes outside of school. The teacher was very enthusiastic, and the make-up teachers all found a good one for Li Yu.

Someone may have already guessed the routine. That's right, the teacher is himself. Since then, Li Yu has to go to a warehouse rented by his teacher to tutor art after school at half past nine every night.

Of course, if this teacher did his best to teach him well, then Li Yu would not have any complaints. The problem is that this master doesn't want to teach the skills all day long, and if he draws a sketch today, he will sell you a few sketch papers. The next day, I took a group of students to paint watercolors, and it happened that the pigments were sold together with the paper.

Every once in a while, I have to get something out for the students to buy. At that time, Li Yu was too young, and his heart was full of sunshine. He buys whatever the teacher tells him to buy.

In this way, he has been under the hands of this teacher, and Li Yu has been studying until the second half of the second semester of high school. What made Li Yu change? It's this box of carving knives!

According to common sense, in the second half of the second semester of high school, no matter what subject you are studying, the basic courses should be almost finished. Especially when it comes to the month before the holiday, it is almost time to start preparing for the college entrance examination, and art students are no exception.

But one day, the teacher actually brought in half a cart of clay. What are you doing? Learn sculpture! In the name of it, deepen the concept of sketching! If you want to say that you can play with sculpture sketching, there is certainly nothing wrong with it. But if the reason is reversed, then it will not be true. I haven't heard of anyone whose children's handwriting is ugly, so let the child learn the wild grass directly!

Although his stomach was full of questions, Li Yu's family gritted his teeth and took out this set of clay sculpture carving knives, as well as a set of wood carving knives. These two sets of things are actually really good quality. Not to mention the clay knife, the wood carving knife Li Yu has been using it for more than ten years. But for Li Yu, who is about to face the college entrance examination, these are completely useless!

This time, Li Yu finally had a heart, and took his paintings to the studio where friends in other classes made up for classes. Put the two phases together and compare them. Li Yu himself was shocked! What the hell am I drawing? How should I take the college entrance examination at this level?

Li Yu had a dead heart at that time, and his parents spent tens of thousands of yuan a year to study art for themselves. As a result, after two years of studying, the gap between the things I drew and others was so big that I almost despaired.

Li Yu finally took into account that the school did not choose to make a big fuss, but found the teacher and proposed to study art outside, and asked him to make this request because the school stipulated that if you study a major abroad, the teacher in charge of the class needs to sign.

Originally, Li Yu felt that he had not given a penny less in the tuition fee that should be given, and he didn't even want to come back if he gave more, so the teacher should be able to agree to this small request very happily.

But who would have thought that this teacher would slap the table and stare at him on the spot, and also said that the reason why Li Yu is so bad at painting is because he has no talent, and he only has this ability! With this talent, it is the same wherever he goes.

Li Yu didn't stab the teacher to death with a knife, and Li Yu really had a knife at this time. Because each art student has a utility knife, this kind of knife is extremely sharp, if it wasn't for being stopped by a few classmates, Li Yu would really have to go in. Maybe you'll have to get a peanut.

Maybe he was really frightened by Li Yu's mistake, but the teacher didn't make it difficult for Li Yu in the end. reluctantly gave Li Yu a note.

It was only in this that Li Yu studied art in his last year, almost giving up cultural classes. This year was like hell, and when he was finally admitted to university, Li Yu fell seriously ill, which caused him to be weak for more than half a year.

Holding the carving knife, Li Yu couldn't help but think of these. Shaking his head and laughing.

The person who hated so much in his heart back then now picked up the carving knife he bought there. In fact, Li Yu's carving is really enlightened by him.

The world is so wonderful. Once you've learned this skill, you might be able to use it when. I really don't have the ability to learn in vain.

After retracting his long-distance thoughts, he focused his attention on the olive pit in front of him, fixed the olive pit with a table tong, and began to carve it little by little.

Engraving is a delicate job, and attention must be concentrated. Because it is not a shape that can be carved out after a few knives after the position is set. You have to constantly adjust the position of the knife according to the shape of the pit itself.

After all, the inside of the olive pit is hollow, and if a knife accidentally gets bigger and the pit is leaked, then this one is considered wasted, and the previous effort will be in vain.

So before you put pen to paper, you must observe which side of the wall is thicker and which side is thinner. You can only do it after you have observed it clearly, which will save a lot of effort.

So how do you make observations? If Li Yu wants to say that it depends on experience. After all, Ya is also self-taught, and I really haven't learned specific things with others. It's purely wild.

But it's the right way, or the wild way. Li Yu has indeed practiced this craft in the past ten years.

With just a few knives, the facial features of an Arhat can basically be seen. After that, I couldn't wait. The facial features are cut out layer by layer along with the overall shape.

Don't think that carving with only a knife is enough, Li Yu's big box is not an ornament. There are special plank sharpening, slotting, and engraving. There are several types of knives for each usage.

Li Yu kept changing all kinds of knives in his hands, and before he knew it, a layer of debris fell on the surface of the desk. In later generations, because of the catalysis of the market, many merchants began to use hand drills to carve.

When that thing is powered on, it can reach tens of thousands of revolutions. Just press a small drill bit on it, and a skilled craftsman can carve an olive in a few moments.

Someone asked, didn't you say that you have to watch for a long time before you can start? Arrogantly, for Li Yu's hand-carved artwork. That's true.

But for those businessmen, time is money. Li Yu's time to carve one is enough for half a string to come out over there, and if you find a few workers together, you can make a string in a few minutes.

As for the leakage? Anyway, there is that time to sell high-quality products, and the machinery here is enough to sell dozens of strings. Later, if you find someone to polish it, novices can't tell which one is handmade.

This kind of businessman is all a liar here in Li Yu. The biggest feature of Li Yu's hand-carved fine products is that the carver can feel the thickness of the olive core wall when creating, so most of the finished products are uniform in thickness. The color is reddish-brown after playing, and it is crystal clear, and there is almost no color difference.

Because the mechanical speed is too fast, the heat generated during engraving is very high, and there will be a certain change in the properties of the outward. Therefore, the disc game is either not easy to color, or the color is black and not transparent enough. Moreover, it is difficult to take care of the thickness of the raw material in mechanical processing, so it is easy to see the thickness of the nuclear wall after the nuclear carving is colored.

Therefore, the more you play, the more the value of the two works is different.

Li Yu carved intently, and didn't notice the passage of time, and he didn't even notice the text message coming from the mobile phone next to him.

When Li Yu raised his head, the entire olive pit had been basically carved. Looking at the time, it was almost six o'clock. For most of the day, Li Yu even forgot to eat lunch.
