[Master Profile: George Burriman was born in the 19th century. He is the most famous and authoritative anatomy painter in the world.

He taught anatomy at the New York Art University for nearly half a century, teaching students such as Will Eisner, the godfather of American comics, and Norman Rockwell, the legendary illustrator who influenced tens of millions of people during World War II. Burriman's inventive invention used a series of techniques for drawing human xenometres. 】

"Human anatomy?"

In the long Middle Ages, there were three kinds of people who would risk being burned at the stake to steal corpses and return them for autopsy.

A madman, a doctor, and a painter.

Body painting has been one of the most important categories of painting since its birth.

From the twisted sacrificial dances engraved on the walls of tombs in ancient Neolithic ruins, to the divine sun gods and pharaohs who will come back from the dead on the stone tablets recorded in the ancient pyramids of E. From the portrait of the feudal emperor who oppressed the noble to the comic that has sold tens of millions today.

Figures are the eternal theme of painting.

Imagine if you were a medieval painter.

At that time, it was generally believed that every human leg bone had a natural curved arc, that men had one more rib than women, and that everyone had an immortal skeleton for the resurrection of religious legends......

In that century, which was firmly controlled by the clergy, it was not a myth, but an objective fact that water could be drunk and birds could fly.

Wouldn't it be strange that you deliberately erased the symmetrical rib lines of men when drawing?

When you write about that unique hard resurrection bone and believe that you really see it, won't you feel a little confused?

Even if there isn't,

Don't you want to know how the muscles bulge when the warrior swings his sword to lift up the robe, and how the slender and moving arc at the collarbone should be accurately outlined when the young lady bows her head to hide her face......

What does it take to really draw a person to the best of his ability?

Repeated practice, inviting models to come to the home to observe, or ...... Really dissect a corpse and see.

In the days when the Church ruled the world, the structure and lines of the human body were hailed as God's secrets to mankind, which should not be explored at will, and stealing autopsies was enough to be burned at the stake.

But this obviously cannot stop people from pursuing the truth.

In the smoke of those pine burnings on the mainland, countless innocent souls died.

In the centuries that followed, anatomical drawings were also the intersection of art and science, with countless doctors holding brushes in front of sketchpads and countless painters holding scalpels in morgues.

History records that the reason why Master Leonardo da Vinci was able to depict moving arcs and precise muscle lines in oil paintings, in addition to studying various anatomical drawings that gradually circulated in the world at that time, he also dissected at least 30 corpses by himself, some believe that he once cooperated with local medical schools, and many scholars believe that Leonardo da Vinci, like many predecessors, also did the work of robbing tombs in private.

Coincidentally, it's like an indissoluble source with anatomy.

Comparable to the legendary "Mona Lisa", the most famous and legendary oil painting in human history, which is visited by hundreds of millions of people in the Louvre, Rembrandt, who is also the author of "The Night Watch", one of the world's three most famous paintings, also spent a lot of time in the dissection room.

Rembrandt's famous work is even an oil painting called "Professor Dupu's Anatomy Lesson", which is now in the Royal Exhibition Hall of Maurice in The Hague.

Gu Weijing felt that all kinds of information were washing through the memory area of his brain, and all kinds of pictures of human muscles and corresponding drawing methods poured into his mind.

These drawings and lines quickly reconstitute an adult body in one's own consciousness.

It stretches in its own mind, twists and turns, the combination of muscles and Achilles tendons, the slightly quivering pectoral muscles, the myriad tiny muscles themselves elongate, shorten, expand, form smaller wedges or form a variety of different shapes with larger, stronger masses.

The "Maha Notes" that have been obtained are more of a textual description, and the specific pigments still need to be Gu Weijing's own attempt to match and match, and the impact when obtained is obviously not as good as this anatomical atlas.

Gu Weijing closed the panel and raised his head.

Almost subconsciously, as he moved, his mind flooded with the muscles involved in the action of looking up and leaning back and the corresponding drawing method.

"The sternocleidomastoid muscle contracts bilaterally, and the sternal stalk and medial end of the clavicle contract to terminate at the temporal mastoid process. The brush should pay attention to the shadow at the collarbone, highlight the stretch of the muscles, make the picture full of volume, and reflect the width and thickness of the muscles. The erector spinae muscle is ...... from behind the sacrum"

A series of complex muscle changes surfaced in his mind, and the subconscious action of raising his head, Gu Weijing never thought it would be so vivid.

He even felt that if it did not involve the internal organs of the human body and other deeper parts of the body, some medical students who had just entered the university were not familiar with it alone.

Actually, Gu Weijing knows.

The separation of sketchers and illustrators, anatomists, and forensic doctors from each other has been a matter of the modern era.

In many medical schools with centuries of history, sketching has always been a compulsory subject for medical students.

At that time, there was no invention of the camera that could quickly record the scene of surgery, and even in modern times, the early daguerreotype camera had to be kept motionless for more than ten hours or even dozens of hours, and a photograph could be developed and imaged by the person who took it motionless for several afternoons.

If it's in hot weather, for such a long time, the corpses will stink, so you must have good sketching skills.

It's not just doctors.

Scientists, naturalists in the phyla of nature...... All required a good sketch, and Darwin relied on a pencil to record the anatomical specimens of various animals around the world in his notebook.

Painters, on the other hand, would strive to learn anatomy in order to achieve extreme line precision, a tradition that continued into the Victorian era.

It was not until the 20th century that anatomy, taking into account issues such as medical ethics, began to dim as a compulsory subject for artists.

Mr. Burriman was the culmination of the last generations to master that science and technology.

At the same time, the Philadelphia Medical School was open to painters to study and observe anatomy. Similarly, the painter and physician Ikens, whose knowledge of musculature led him to depict tense muscles in his masterpiece "The Wrestler" in greater detail and clarity than the wrestler's face.

This exaggerated expression of vitality was almost unsurpassed until later.

Gu Weijing feels that compared with the book "Maha Notes", which is more like a variety of painting tips, it should be this Burriman's "Human Anatomy" that is more useful for the painting career.

At least, many painters have spent their entire lives studying the mystery of human muscle lines, and he can easily grasp them.

Gu Weijing uploaded the painted colored pencil head of the kitten to the computer with a high-precision scanner found in the calligraphy and painting shop, and submitted it to the housewife, even if the order was completed.

Then he's pulling down the rest of the unread messages, mostly of little value.

Gu Weijing looked at it for a while.

Overseas websites are like this, and there are a lot of spam messages.

If you want to add Telegram (foreign encrypted communication software) friends, it is likely that it is a scammer who sells virtual currency, and you can delete it directly.

There are people who claim to be jewelry merchants who want to chat with themselves and want to see each other's big treasures, delete, block, and report sexual harassment and carry them away.

Professional Jeweler (jeweler) - this thing is the same as the small advertisement of a rich woman from Hong Kong and Taiwan who is asking for a child in the early years on the road of Dongxia.

A group of 20 to 35-year-old old white men who claim to be rich widowed jewelers on Fivver, Twitter, and various pen pal chat software, and the other party will make a request for a [beep-] or large-scale video when chatting casually with each other...... Little boy fooled.

After screening for a long time, there was only one order value that wanted him to paint the building, and the pattern given by the other party was very complicated, and the painting to be painted might take several days, and the price was not high.

Just when Gu Weijing chatted with the other party for a few words, hesitating to take this list.

There's a new piece of news coming out of Fiverr.

"Can I ask for a manuscript, you want ten dollars a piece?" - Buyer account Hyperion1077 sent a message from San Francisco.
