The training was fruitless, and in the end, Wang Xiang could only use props to let Li Er hold a book and read it.

With the book in hand, Li Er finally behaved more naturally, but he felt that painting him reading a book was not enough to show the emperor's style and majesty.

Seeing that Wang Xiang finally started to paint, the eldest grandson, Empress Grandsun, Li Zhi, and the little son were all curious to take a closer look.

The charcoal on Qin Qiong's house yesterday was temporarily crude, and the charcoal used now was carefully polished after going back, the same thickness as the pencils of later generations, and the feel of holding it was almost the same, and he also found a gauze towel that could barely replace the eraser.

Whether it is sketching or traditional Chinese painting, it starts with the sketch line, and the use of the brush to outline the line has high requirements for the stability of the wrist, and the charcoal is much easier, in the eyes of Li Zhi and Xiao Zizi, Wang Xiang's way of holding the pen is very strange, which is completely different from their usual brush.

"Wang Jiancheng, why do you want to hold a pen like this?"

Wang Xiang was concentrating on sketching, and after listening to Li Zhi's question, he didn't raise his head and said: "Charcoal and calligraphy are different. ”

"Why is it different?" Li Zhi has always been a curious baby who likes to ask questions.

"You look at them differently."

"Why is it different to hold a pen?"

I don't know...... Wang Xiang was speechless for a while, he couldn't say why, he just felt that the way he held the brush was too tiring, and the way he held the pencil and charcoal was much easier.

Seeing that Li Zhi was still going to ask, the eldest grandson queen on the side whispered: "Don't affect Zixin's painting, the texture of the brush is soft, and the weight of the pen is exquisite." That's why you have to hang your wrist to control your strength. I think this charcoal is hard in texture. The pen is of general thickness, so it is possible to hold the pen so easily, which is much easier than hanging the wrist. ”

is worthy of being the eldest grandson queen, and even Wang Xiang was very convinced when he heard this explanation.

At this time, he had just finished the outline of the sketch, and there were only a few faint thin lines on the white new paper, but the little boy was lying quietly on the side and watching him paint seriously.

A real sketch master doesn't have to stare at the model all the time, he only needs to look at a few glances to draw proficiently, Wang Xiang is far from reaching that kind of strength. So being a model for him is actually quite tiring, and he has to maintain a position motionless until he finishes painting.

Li second-hand is holding a novel book printed by Linglong Bookstore, presumably fascinated, except for occasionally turning the pages of the book, there is no other action, which also reduces the difficulty of Wang Xiang's painting, after all, he has only studied sketching for a few years as an amateur.

I have to admit that Li Er is indeed a handsome guy, Li Er, who has Hu blood, is tall and well-proportioned, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and sharp facial contours. is full of fortitude, and it is also an idol-level existence in the entertainment industry in later generations. This made Wang Xiang very uncomfortable.

After the time of the two pillars of incense, the lines on the paper gradually deepened, and Li Er's shadow could already be vaguely seen, if it was only compared to the degree of similarity, now the semi-finished products in Wang Xiang's hands were a little more similar than the finished portrait that Yan Liben painted for Li Er, and Li Zhi's little ghost couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's really a bit like my father!"

Empress Changsun also had a different color, nodding slightly, although the eyes and nose are still just a few simple lines, but based on these lines, Empress Changsun can conclude that the person in the painting is Li Er, this feeling is really amazing.

Sketching pays attention to realism, especially when drawing character sketches, the bones and muscles of the face are particularly important, these seemingly ordinary lines are the most important lines to show the facial features of different people, the bones and muscles of each person's face are different, so these lines will make people who are familiar with Li Er recognize the person in the painting as Li Er at a glance.

In order to master the bones and muscles of the face, Wang Xiang had put a lot of effort into sketching, so drawing the face sketches of characters was his best skill, which was also what he was most proud of.

Hearing Li Zhi's exclamation, Li Er came back to his senses from the book, turned his head and asked in surprise, "Is the painting finished?" ”

As soon as he moved like this, Wang Xiang suddenly didn't know how to start, and hurriedly said: "No, no, how can it be so fast, don't move." ”

Li Er snorted dissatisfiedly, and continued to maintain his original posture and read the novel book in his hand.

Afraid that Li Er would be impatient after waiting for a long time, Wang Xiang accelerated the speed of painting, in the eyes of the eldest grandson, Empress Grandsun, Li Zhi and the little son, the charcoal in Wang Xiang's hand seemed to suddenly have magic power, only to see that he moved the pen fast and slow without pausing at all, and the portrait on the paper became clearer and clearer. With the enrichment of the lines, Li Er's image leaps onto the paper, under the effect of shadows, the light and shade are clear, and the layers are clear, almost indistinguishable from a real person.

Although she watched Wang Xiang draw step by step, the eldest grandson queen still felt incredible, and looked up at Li Er, who was still reading the book, it was exactly the same!

It's amazing!

Li Zhi opened his mouth wide in surprise, and the portrait was simply a living father.

The little son clenched his little fists, looked at the portrait with wide eyes, and then looked at Li Er, who was excited and a little unbelievable, and his appearance was very cute.

Wang Xiang was not surprised to see their reactions and smiled, even those who were accustomed to sketching in later generations couldn't help but be amazed when they saw the works of those hyper-realistic sketch masters, not to mention the ancients who had never seen sketches, the charm of sketching lies in this.

The painting is basically completed here, and it only needs to be modified and perfected, Li Eryi didn't care about pretending to be reserved when he heard that the painting was finished, and strode over to look at it carefully.

After Li Er approached, Empress Eldest Sun, Li Zhi and Xiao Zi couldn't help but stare at his face, Li Er touched his chin and wondered, "Is it really that similar?" ”

"Like!" The three of them spoke in unison.

Li Er picked up the sketch portrait drawn by Wang Xiang and looked at it, was stunned for a moment, and said: "Take the bronze mirror, no, take the glass mirror." ”

The maid heard Li Er's instructions and hurriedly took the mirror that Wang Xiang gave to the eldest grandson queen, and accidentally saw the sketch portrait that Li Er held in her hand, and immediately couldn't help but exclaim, and after reacting, she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, how did Your Majesty run into the paper?

Painting a sketch for Li Er Wang Xiang used twelve points of heart, not daring to be sloppy at all, Li Er stood for a moment after looking in the mirror, holding the mirror in his left hand and the sketch portrait in his right hand, I just felt that it was too incredible, and the portraits painted by those painters in the palace in the past were simply worlds different from this sketch.

Li Zhi saw Wang Xiang's sketch portrait of Li Erhua, and his mind immediately became hot, and he pulled Wang Xiang and said eagerly: "Wang Jiancheng, draw me a portrait too." ”

"I want it too, I want it too!" The five-year-old boy clenched his little fist with an excited face.

Empress Eldest Sun is smiling, and the meaning in her smile is self-evident.

Wang Xiang smiled bitterly, and simply solved it at one time.

"Otherwise, the minister should draw a family portrait for His Majesty and the Queen......" (To be continued.) )
