Chapter 4: Hand Drawn

That's hand-painted, portrait-portraits.

Li Yizhi believes that with his current level of sketching, as long as the color pencil is complete, the hand-painted portrait can definitely compete with the color photo.

Nowadays, although there are color cameras on the market, the mainstream is still black and white photos, and the cost of taking pictures is not low.

Therefore, hand-painted portraits are still very marketable.

Even if the price is set higher, it's okay, because there is no shortage of rich people at Kyoto University.

He did what he wanted, so Li Yizhi went out and bought all kinds of tools, including colored pencils, drawing paper, and drawing boards.

The matter of money has been settled, and Li Yizhi's psychology has also relaxed.

He didn't rush to practice martial arts, but sat down at the desk, picked up the 'Theory of National Arts' given by Chen Zhen, and read it carefully.

Li Yizhi still understands the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it.

As a pure newcomer, it is better to figure out the key points of cultivation in all aspects first, so as not to have to go wrong in practice and hurt your body.

Most of the first half of the 'Theory of National Arts' is an introduction to various cultivation points, and Li Yizhi can never forget it, and it is easy to memorize it.

He found that the key parts of it, Chen Zhen had more or less talked about, but it was not detailed, and it was not a complete set of cultivation theory systems like in the book.

It can also be seen from this that Huo Yuanjia's cultivation level is indeed very high, at least he is a Sect Master of Transformation Strength.

As for the second half of the part, it is an introduction to the schools of art in various countries in China, as well as representative figures.

In general, domestic martial arts can be divided into five schools: Wudang, Shaolin, Emei, Kunlun, and Kongtong.

Under these five schools, there are hundreds of various martial arts, all of which have been developed on the basis of these five schools.

For example, under the Shaolin faction, it includes the southern and northern Shaolin, the three major families, and the four major gates. Among them, Tan leg and Tongbei boxing belong to North Shaolin, and Hongjia boxing and Caijia boxing belong to South Shaolin.

Another example is the Wudang faction, whether it is Xingyi Boxing, Taijiquan, or Baguazhang, they all belong to the Wudang school.

Of course, there are many strange people's self-created boxing methods, which are self-contained, and they can't be listed one by one.

…………

Early the next morning, Li Yizhi went out.

In the courtyard, Yoshiko Sawada was washing clothes by the well.

She looked at Li Yizhi, with a smile on her face, and said, "Brother Yizhi, it's early." ”

"Morning, Yoshiko!"

Li Yizhi stepped forward, took out the portrait that was colored with colored pencil last night, and said, "Fangzi, this is the painting I gave you, I hope you like it." ”

Sawada Yoshiko looked at her hand-painted portrait, and her eyes lit up instantly.

She stood up in surprise, wiped her hands quickly over her body, took the paper, and her eyes began to blur.

"It's so beautiful, am I really that beautiful?"

Sawada Yoshiko's face was blushing, she secretly looked up at Li Yizhi, but her eyes quickly dodged back, and her heart was like a deer.

Li Yizhi didn't notice the change in the girl's mind, after all, in his eyes, fourteen-year-old Sawada Yoshiko was just a little girl.

"Nature is so beautiful, and when Yoshiko grows up, it will be even more beautiful."

To be honest, although Mitsuko Yamada is beautiful, when Yoshiko Sawada grows up, I'm afraid it will be really inferior.

Li Yizhi smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, Fangzi, I'm going to school, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye, Brother Yizhi!"

Sawada Yoshiko watched Li Yizhi go away, and looked at the portrait obsessively.

Suddenly she thought of something, and hurriedly and carefully rolled up the drawing paper, then ran to her room and hid it.

Outside the house, the landlord's wife shouted: "Fangzi, where did you run away from this dead girl, and your clothes can't be washed." ”

"Oh. Mom, I'm in the room, I'll be out right away. ”

…………

Kyoto University.

When they saw Li Yizhi's drawing paper and drawing board, Chen Zhen and Mitsuko Yamada were very curious.

Li Yizhi smiled and said calmly: "I have been short of money recently, so I want to paint portraits of others, hoping to make some money." ”

Mitsuko Yamada praised in amazement: "I didn't expect you to be good at painting, and after school, you must draw one for me." ”

"Yizhi, since you have the confidence to paint for people to make money, if you want to come to the level of painting, it must not be low, and I want to pay tribute to it when the time comes." Chen Zhen also nodded and said:

Li Yizhi shook his head and said: "It's over, I'm forced to do nothing, now the situation is turbulent, and it's really hard to find a job outside." Photon, I'll draw one for you for free after school, and it's kind of an advertisement for me! ”

"Okay, I know a lot of my classmates." Mitsuko Yamada responded very happily.

The three of them were chatting for a while, and the class bell rang.

Today's classes are relatively large, and school doesn't end until 3:30 p.m.

After school, Li Yizhi walked to the playground with his schoolbag and drawing board and paper, followed by Chen Zhen and Mitsuko Yamada.

Infiltrated by **** thoughts, the practice of martial arts is now very popular in Kyoto University.

Many people were either running or practicing martial arts on the playground, and even had sparring exercises, shouting and shouting noisily.

Finding a relatively quiet place, Li Yizhi took the drawing board and began to draw.

Mitsuko Yamada sat on the stone opposite, and she looked at Chen Zhen behind Li Yizhi with a sweet smile on her face.

Rustling!

The pencil rubbed against the paper.

In less than ten minutes, the overall sketch of Mitsuko Yamada appeared on the drawing paper, which made Chen Zhen, who was standing behind him, amazed.

After that, Li Yizhi began to use colored pencils to complement the sketches.

With the passage of time, a lot of people have gathered behind him, both men and women, in a large circle.

These are all students of Kyoto University, and they can't help but be amazed as they look at the increasingly realistic portraits.

After more than 20 minutes, the hand-painted portrait was finally completed.

"Oh my God, this person is amazing, this portrait is exactly the same as a real person, the photos are nothing more than that."

"Awesome, really awesome, if only he could draw one for me."

"This is definitely a grandmaster-level painting skill, I'm afraid that the whole world can do this, and it can be counted on one hand."

............

Listening to the exclamations of the people around her, Mitsuko Yamada couldn't wait to run over, she looked at herself on the drawing paper, and the whole person was also stunned, covering her mouth with her little hands.

I saw myself in the painting, sitting on a stone, with eyes like autumn waves, with a shallow smile on the corner of my mouth, as if there was laughter, about to come out of the drawing paper, full of charm, which is far from being comparable to the photo.

She guessed that Li Yizhi's painting level should be very high, but she didn't expect it to be so high.

Born in a family, she is also good at painting, so she knows more about the level of this painting skill, which is a grandmaster-level painting skill.

Li Yizhi took the drawing paper off the drawing board, handed it to Mitsuko Yamada, and said, "Mitsuko, give it to you." ”

"Thank you Yizhi, your painting skills are really good." Mitsuko Yamada took the drawing paper and said excitedly.

Li Yizhi smiled slightly, he looked up at the people around him, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to have a portrait, five yen a piece." ”

Don't think that 5 yen is cheap, but in fact, the yen is still very strong in this era.

At the current exchange rate, two yen can be exchanged for about three silver dollars.

And three silver dollars is almost a month's salary for an ordinary worker in a domestic factory.

If you exchange it like this, you can know that it is five yen, but the price is not low.

"It's only five yen, I'll come, I'll come."

"I want one too, I'll come first."

"Here, it's five yen, I'll go first."

……………

Among the students around, there are many wealthy families.

It was worth it to be able to get such a grandmaster-level painting for only five yen, so they scrambled for it.

Faced with the chaotic situation, Chen Zhen hurriedly stood up and maintained order, while Mitsuko Yamada was responsible for collecting money and letting everyone line up and come one by one.

Looking at the yen in the bus in Mitsuko Yamada's hand, Li Yizhi was full of enthusiasm and immersed himself in painting.

It's just that he didn't see the two young students outside the crowd, they looked at each other, greed and sneer flashed in their eyes, and then they turned around and left quickly.
