Chapter 39: Natural Muscles

"The Batman suit is a second creation, not the original."

GU WEIJING COPIED THE PHOTOS UPLOADED FROM THE COMPUTER TO THE IPAD AND PUT THEM IN FRONT OF HIS SKETCHPAD TO ENLARGE THEM.

He noticed the letters of the Hyperion store on the cloak.

Gu Weijing is not a person who is keen on surfing the Internet, so he will not be isolated from the world, but he has only heard of the top local tyrant UP master [Mr. Hyperion] of the first YouTube.

Of course, even if it is an avid fan of Thomas, it is difficult to make more associations with this cloak and suit only to recognize this cloak as the official merchandise of the other party.

This kind of trendy celebrity Internet celebrity co-branded peripherals sell much better than most people think.

The singer Kanye, who was at the center of public opinion, co-branded his coconut brand sold more than a billion dollars a year, and he was once considered the richest black man of all time.

Although the influence of Internet celebrities is not as good as that of real singers, being an Internet celebrity emperor with hundreds of millions of fans like Thomas is another concept.

In total, more than 18 million pieces of his various merchandise have been sold in the past three years, and there are many more pirated copies.

Otherwise, DC would not have officially co-branded with him.

Gu Weijing never doubted the identity of the other party at all, just like you can't think that Robert Downey Jr. is wearing a battle suit just because someone sent you a photo of Iron Man.

He even thought that the set in the photo he was going to draw was just a regular fan creation.

European and American otaku love various styles of American comic Cos clothes as much as Akihabara counterparts Otaku love for two-dimensional girl figures.

However, if the artist has high requirements, this kind of second-creation suit is actually more difficult to draw than an ordinary serious suit.

Batman's various artwork are available everywhere in the art resource library on the Internet, just import a similar one and change it on the computer.

It's not that the second creation suit can't be drawn like this, but it will cause distortion of the final effect.

Moreover, Gu Weijing found that the bat suit on the photo sent by the other party was a little strange, it was yellow-purple instead of black, and the appearance of the mask was not the same as the common bat suit.

He searched the Internet for relevant keywords.

Gu Weijing found that the prototype of this suit should be the Batman in the 1966 version of the first big movie, which is the first time that the Batman theme has been changed from a short series to a feature-length movie on the screen, which is very commemorative.

He doesn't care how interesting the story behind this Batman from sixty years ago is, the real problem is that it's probably probably the worst Batman to draw.

The key is muscles and stature.

In the later DC movies, whether the actor was the tenth Batman Ben Alfleck or the earlier Christian Bale, at that time, in order to unify the art style and show the power of the Batman master, whether it was the Batsuit or Superman's S suit, they all retained the exaggerated and unrealistic muscle texture.

In the setting of the plot, these superhero suits look like they are wearing a muscle suit, as long as they depict marble-like muscle lines with comic-style exaggerated brushstrokes.

In 1966, the Hollywood industry was not as developed as it was in the later period, and the bat suit was a simple tight-fitting costume on the body, and the specific sense of power required the actor's own muscles to show it.

The figure of a masked man in a bat suit in the photo......

How to say it.

It's not Uncle Sakai's body like a ball, but if the belly completely covers the muscles, it's easy to draw.

The round belly is just two arcs and it's done.

He has muscles, even strong...... But it's not Hollywood-style toughness.

Those who learn to draw or even fitness know that it is very difficult and almost impossible for normal people to train for a standard and smooth body like an Olympic bodybuilding competition or a Hollywood male model.

This involves a question of medication.

In order to pursue the shape and line of the muscles in front of the camera, it is very common for these people to supplement with steroids during the fitness process.

Many people will inject oily substances such as [Sislong] to fill the muscles in the places where the biceps or quadriceps muscles can bring visual stimulation to the judges or the audience.

It has safety risks, but it can make the muscles into a sculpture like horns and horns, full of power, and the specific principle is similar to that of female breast augmentation.

The person in the bat suit in this photo belongs to the muscles of a normal person who often goes to the gym.

Strong, with a certain line, but absolutely natural and unretouched.

This is a test of the painter's skill in using the brush, if it is not handled well, or there is no feeling of muscle at all, or it is deformed.

Gu Weijing closed his eyes.

The whole photo of the cosplay figure is based on the "human anatomy" in my mind, and it begins to decompose rapidly, and the skin under the tights begins to appear.

He took out a pen and quickly traced it on the paper against the figure of the man in the bat suit in the photograph.

If Thomas was here, he might feel a little embarrassed.

It's like magic, pecs, abs, thighs...... His naked muscle lines were rapidly appearing on the paper. Exactly like a mirror in the bathroom.

Gu Weijing didn't have too many strange feelings in his heart.

A good artist should paint like an ancient Greek to an Olympic athlete covered in olive oil, full of appreciation for the beauty of lines and shapes.

Even in the face of the opposite sex, passion should be greater than desire.

Art students are the same as doctors, there are not too many differences between men and women when they work, and almost any art academy has a content of human sketching in the compulsory courses, even if it is the Dongxia where physical ethics are more conservative, schools like Qingmei, the study of human body sketching has begun in the Republic of China.

After the full liberation of the statehood.

In order to alleviate the concerns of educators, the great man also gave a special instruction - drawing a nude model of men, women and children (model, the original word is English) is a basic skill necessary for painting and sculpture, and it should not be impossible. It is inappropriate to prohibit feudal thinking.

In the high school art class that Gu Weijing attends, every year the school will have a special fund to hire special nude models, and students can volunteer to participate.

The course of human sketching, when it is really class, is far less exciting than everyone thinks.

When you first meet a model, you may still feel a little shy and nervous about touching it, but when you start drawing, all that remains in your mind is the structure of your muscles.

The more you see this kind of thing, the more you get used to it.

You can't whisper in class, and you can't judge the model, which is a basic cultivation.

Then before class, the mobile phone will be specially received by the teaching assistant teacher in a storage bag on the wall, which is to protect the privacy of the model and prevent anyone from taking pictures of the model in private.

Oh, and the important lesson is not to wear a short skirt uniform.

In general, private international high schools have extremely strict requirements for school uniforms.

This represents the image of the school, and the school board is unrelenting in not following the rules of dressing, from detention, warning, to expulsion, there is always a suitable student with a prickly head.

Boys wear trousers all year round, and the fabric varies depending on the season. For girls, there are two types of skirts, summer and winter, pants are not allowed, and they change into sportswear when they go to physical education class.

The winter style skirt can be lowered to the top of the foot, and the summer style is a miniskirt.

It is similar to the common style of Manhattan high school students in Manhattan High School and after the new world level in the American drama "Gossip Girl".

However, this is not the case when taking a human sketching class.

As a rule of thumb...... In this case, it is better to have the female students change into pants.

Especially in the summer, especially in drawing naked men - this is for the sake of the model's face.

In fact, the students' physiological reactions are not strong, after all, their focus is on drawing, and when they actually go to class, the atmosphere of the class is very serious.

Moreover, the mannequin is not an underwear model.

The main focus is on nature, where there are so many handsome men and beautiful women for you to paint, there are many old men and aunts.

Draw for a few years, your mind is full of lines, legend has it that there was once a senior when he looked at a girl on the Internet, he felt that his muscles were good, and immediately stopped drawing a set of human sketches, which was passed on in school for a while.

But nude male models are different,

Imagine that in order to prevent catching a cold, the temperature in the studio is as warm as spring, and you maintain a posture or do or stand, bored, and inevitably look at the students in all directions, only to see that your eyes are full of jade legs.

Thereupon......

It's embarrassing.

There was silence in the studio, except for the sound of the tip of the pen rubbing against the paper.

After the official launch of Old Man Menzel's skill painting tomorrow, there is only half an hour.

Gu Weijing prepared today, first of all, he had a clear understanding of the body muscles of the man in the suit in the photo.

With the blessing of Gu Weijing's masterful anatomical skills, Thomas's entire body is like a Lego brick broken down by a paintbrush, and the various muscles are coupled to each other, and even the slightest change cannot be hidden.
