Chapter 4: Sketching Dafa is good
"Uh, little bean sprouts, what kind of expression do you have?" Zhao Kai was also an art student in the twentieth century, and portrait sketching was a skill that Zhao Kai relied on to survive, and this was the first time that someone questioned his painting skills.
"Although King Yun's painting skills are superb, he is only good at painting flowers and birds, and drawing people." The little bean sprouts didn't dare to continue, lowered their heads, and peeked at Zhao Kai from time to time, looking very cute.
Zhao Kai once painted a picture of the little bean sprouts, and when he thought of being painted as a bird, the little bean sprouts were full of unspeakable grievances and felt that he was too pitiful.
"Little bean sprouts, you actually doubt my painting skills, ahhh Zhao Kai was excited, the wound hurt, and Zhao Kai screamed in pain.
"King Yun, don't get excited, the little bean sprouts are just, just..." Seeing that Zhao Kai was so excited, the little bean sprouts were a little at a loss for a while.
"Go get a pen and paper, and I'll show you my drawing skills today." Zhao Kai was angry, but Zhao Kai, who had a pain in his chest, grinned and burst into tears.
The little bean sprouts were also the first time they were so excited to see Zhao Kai, and they didn't dare to say anything more, so they hurriedly took Zhao Kai's study and took the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone that Zhao Kai used for painting on weekdays.
The little bean sprouts cleaned up the small wooden table, put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and prepared to start grinding for Zhao Kai.
"I'm not used to brushes, do you have charcoal?" Zhao Kai looked at the exquisite workmanship of the brush and his head was big, the brush was Zhao Kai's natural enemy, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't use it well.
Zhao Kai also learned to paint ink paintings, but Zhao Kai did not have the talent to paint ink paintings at all, and the brush did not grow at all after he was bald, and his painting was not as good as that of primary school students.
"Didn't King Yun use this soft hair in his previous paintings? Moreover, What is charcoal? Little bean sprouts haven't heard of it. Little Bean Sprouts scratched his head, today's Zhao Kai is too different from usual, and always says something that Little Bean Sprouts can't understand.
"I forgot, there are no charcoal pens in the Northern Song Dynasty." Zhao Kai patted his forehead, thought for a while, and then said, "In this way, you go find a piece of charcoal, sharpen your head, and then bring me a steamed bun, by the way, change to a thicker piece of paper." ”
"Oh." Although Xiao Bean Sprouts was very curious about Zhao Kai's abnormal behavior today, he still obediently prepared these things that Zhao Kai said, and Xiao Bean Sprouts was afraid that he would say the wrong thing again and make Zhao Kai angry.
It didn't take long for the little bean sprouts to find what Zhao Kai wanted, a hard charcoal the thickness of a brush, which had been sharpened, a steamed bun, and a piece of paper that looked precious.
Zhao Kai picked up the paper and recognized it at a glance as hard yellow paper, which was popular from the Tang Dynasty.
A kind of precious art processing paper, used to write scriptures and copy ancient posts. Using the bark as raw material, the yellow tiller juice is impregnated on the paper to make it appear natural yellow, and then the wax is evenly coated on the paper, after calendering, the surface of the paper is bright and moist, with good toughness and strong transparency, so it is called hard yellow paper.
Zhao Kai asked the little bean sprouts to find a piece of Guanghua wood board about the size of hard yellow paper, bent the four iron pieces, and used it to fix the hard yellow paper on the board.
It's the first time I've seen people paint like this, and it's still with charcoal, so I'm very curious, "King Yun, can charcoal really paint?" ”
"Of course you can, believe me, go sit down, put on a sexy pose, no, it's a good-looking pose, and watch this prince show his talents."
Zhao Kai bent his knees, propped his legs, leaned the plank on his legs, picked up the charcoal, and prepared to show off his skills, as for the steamed buns, they were used instead of rubber.
Xiao Bean Sprouts was suspicious, tidied up her clothes and hair, sat at the end of the bed, and posed like a lady, "Is this posture okay?" ”
"Okay." Zhao Kai put away his usual hippie smile, looked very serious, began to compose, and then began to grasp the outline.
Little Bean Sprouts watched the charcoal in Zhao Kai's hand continue to fly on the paper, like a child scribbling on the paper, and had no confidence in Zhao Kai at all.
Originally, seeing Zhao Kai so serious, the little bean sprouts had some confidence in Zhao Kai, but it was only a little bit.
The little bean sprouts decided, and they looked so serious at Zhao Kai, no matter how good or bad Zhao Kai's painting was, the little bean sprouts were ready to praise Zhao Kai and no longer hit Zhao Kai.
Zhao Kai learned to sketch since childhood, although charcoal and steamed buns are not as easy as charcoal and erasers, but they also quickly entered the last step, adjustment.
Draw a good portrait, especially a portrait. Avoid formulaic and conceptual mechanical depictions of the same characters and the same person, as if the character image is carved out of a model, always so dull and lifeless. To draw a portrait of a character, first of all, it is necessary to have both form and spirit, and pay attention to the portrayal of the character's inner character and emotions. As long as you pay more attention to the performance of the emotional changes of the eyebrows, eyes and mouth in the usual practice, and paint at the most natural and vivid moment of the expression, you can make the picture vibrant.
The whole process took half an hour, and most of the time, Zhao Kai spent the final adjustment.
Zhao Kai once sat in the school's playground for portrait sketching in order to be admitted to a school as an art student.
The portraits of the people Zhao Kai painted during high school can be piled up in a swimming pool, and if you want to pursue speed and make mechanical sketches, Zhao Kai can definitely take one in five minutes.
Zhao Kai looked at the lifelike small bean sprouts on the hard yellow paper, nodded with satisfaction, took off the hard yellow paper fixed on the wooden board, and handed the small bean sprouts, "See for yourself." ”
The little bean sprouts were connected to hard yellow paper, and I didn't have much confidence in Zhao Kai that he could draw himself well.
But when the little bean sprouts saw themselves on the hard yellow paper, some were only shocked.
On the hard yellow paper, he still maintained his previous lazy look, expression, and behavior, and even the patterns on his clothes and a few hairs scattered around his ears were perfectly displayed by Zhao Kai on the paper, just like looking in a mirror, and it was the first time that the little bean sprouts had seen such an expressive painting.
In Zhao Kai's eyes, the shocked appearance of the little bean sprouts is the best compliment to himself, as a portrait sketch drawn by himself as a realist, it is definitely comparable to a photo.
"How's that, little bean sprouts, do you still think my character drawings are poor?" Zhao Kai looked like a very stinky fart.
It took a long time for the little bean sprouts to come out of the shock, and looked at the charcoal in Zhao Kai's hand, "King Yun, is this really painted with charcoal?" It's the first time I've seen this, this. ”
The little bean sprouts couldn't find the words to describe this painting, looking at Zhao Kai, his eyes were full of admiration.
"Didn't you see all the process of my painting?" Zhao Kai put on a high-ranking appearance, as if to say, you worship me, worship me.
The little bean sprouts' adoring eyes were very useful to Zhao Kai, Zhao Kai tasted the benefits of sketching for the first time, and had the urge to shout that sketching was good, but Zhao Kai didn't, Zhao Kai didn't want the little bean sprouts to feel crazy.
