Gu Weijing glanced at the virtual panel that appeared on the screen-

[Title: "Flowers on the Little Prince's Planet"]

[Painting Technique: Knife Painting: Legendary]

[Mood: Simple work]

He saw detailed instructions in small print on the system panel.

If the oil painting knife is taken out independently and specially painted, the system will divide it into a special art category like chalk painting, spray painting, and abstract collage.

The art classification of this sub-item is relatively general.

It does not use a detailed Arabic numeral grade as a distinction of proficiency in painting skills, as is the case with the five major categories of painting.

It's the same as the skill card, which is divided into six major levels: beginner, ordinary, excellent, famous, perfect, and legendary.

The Legend class is the highest level of this.

Gu Weijing's painting experience from Menzel is a perfect-level skill, and the sketch of the work with the blessing of the skill has reached the evaluation of the third level of Lv.9 master (limited experience).

If the skill of the perfect level is outstanding at the limit of the mortal realm, then the legendary level has a faint feeling of exceeding this limit.

Although the same emotional evaluation only got the [simple work].

But at least the effect of this picture is more than an order of magnitude better than the sketch he had made for Mr. Hyperion.

Of course, in general, oil paints themselves are also an order of magnitude more expressive than colored pencil drawings.

Gu Weijing looked at the picture for a moment and nodded.

He was already satisfied with the final result of the painting.

Gu Weijing walked downstairs to the backstage of the gallery and opened the second-hand German CRUSE art scanner at home.

Only a gallery at home will be equipped with this kind of professional equipment.

In order to process special digital catalogues or to digitize the collection and provide it to clients and buyers as a reference, the gallery acquires this art-grade contactless scanner.

Some ancient paintings are as brittle as peach cakes because they are old, and if you dare to use an ordinary contact scanner to process them, they will dare to break them to you every minute.

Gu Weijing rarely uses this big guy, because it is expensive and troublesome to use.

Even if it's second-hand,

This imported scanner can also buy a compact car, and it is one of the most valuable assets in the family's small gallery.

As for the art scanners used in the British Museum and the Louvre, which can handle huge oil paintings more than two meters long and wide, the price ranges from a Mercedes-Benz S-Class to a top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce, depending on the model and manufacturer.

There is not so much attention to the online illustration request, and it is not impossible to use the students next to the computer to use the Canon printer to deal with it.

however

This trial draft is of great significance, and Gu Weijing is still willing to trouble a little.

Art-grade has the advantages of art-grade.

The reflection of the surface of the picture, the texture of the brushstrokes, the layering of the paint mixture, and the moiré pattern produced by the linen grain can be handled much better by this professional art scanner.

At least in the eyes of the average person, the effect of the scan can reach a very high degree of approximation with the original.

Of course, it's not as interesting as directly admiring the original painting, but the illustration is a copy that is printed on paper and distributed in large quantities, and it is already very good to achieve this effect.

Gu Weijing adjusted the instrument.

Because the scanner is not in contact with the painting itself, there is no need to wait for the paint to dry completely.

Gu Weijing waited for a few minutes and confirmed that the oil paint on the surface of the picture had been preliminarily condensed, so he processed it into an electronic version.

He didn't rush to send the trial draft to the mailbox of the assistant of the "Little Prince" project team, but hesitated for a moment, turned on his phone, and found Mr. Sloth in the address book.

"I received a trial contract from the Scholastic Group for the 'The Little Prince' project, and the subject matter was perfect for knife drawing."

Gu Weijing clicked send.

"Congratulations, congratulations, this is a great opportunity for illustrators."

A few minutes later, Mr. Sloth replied to the message.

"Excuse me, is it your help......

Gu Weijing typed silently.

There is no love for no reason in the art circle, and high-end illustration is a radish and a pit.

The major publishing groups have their own illustration studios that they are familiar with.

If some old painters do not retire, it will be difficult for newcomers to have the opportunity to take the position.

Maybe some illustrators will have a little luck,

But Gu Weijing is now being targeted by Van Doorn and expelled from Oil Painting magazine.

In this case, it is still favored by the Scholastic Group, which is not just a word of luck can explain.

What's more, the request for the manuscript of "The Little Prince" and the need for the task of drawing a knife that I once asked Mr. Sloth to find are simply a match made in heaven.

"It's just a gesture, if you're not good enough, the Scholastic Group won't take a fancy to you." Mr. Sloth replied lightly.

"Thank you."

"It's as if you paid me for such a great podcast."

"Mr. Sloth?"

"What's wrong?"

Gu Weijing thought about it, and he made up his mind.

"Mr. Sloth, is the agreement you said still valid? I can...... Do I hire you as my broker? ”

Possess legendary knife drawing skills.

It's time to hire a real art agent.

……

As a tourist city with foreign tourists as the backbone of the city's economy.

There is no shortage of interesting hotels in Yangon.

Aman International, a well-known travel giant, has spent a fortune to buy the remains of an old royal palace built on the banks of the Yangon River during the feudal era of the Kambang dynasty and modernize it as part of a classic hotel.

Katsuko Sakai sits cross-legged on a gold-teak sun lounger with an easel in front of her, copying the view of the sunset from the quaint hotel buildings to the bottom of the Yangon River as gouache is being tapped over the quaint hotel buildings.

Mrs. Sakai wore a bathrobe and an iPad in her hand, leaning back on a chaise longue and lazily reading the fashion news.

"This month is International Fashion Week, well, the brands are very busy with new product launches......"

She is at Prada, Gucci, Hermes every year...... This kind of luxury clothing costs about several times the annual income of the average small and middle-class people.

These luxury companies have released new products, and VIP account managers will also call flatteringly, asking Mrs. Sakai if she is interested in ordering.

Professor Sakai is one of the leading artists in East Asia.

Big artists are even more compelling than big stars.

Luxury brands are very keen to provide services to Mrs. Sakai's family, and they also give great discounts.

Often, many people can't buy limited-edition clothes with money, and Mrs. Sakai will have a luxury company specialist deliver it to her door with a phone call.

"Vandoorne? Well, he's really embarrassed this time, and I'm embarrassed for him. ”

Mrs. Jiujing's eyes swept to a piece of news.

[Gnome challenges the giant? Curator Tonks doesn't see it that way] - "Fashion Hodgepodge"

…… Previously, in a new video shot by the world's No. 1 Internet celebrity, De Jong Van Doorne, the chief art officer of the fashion luxury brand Amida, lost to the unknown online illustrator Detective Cat in a humiliating defeat. Mr. Vandoorne did not seem convinced......

The tabloid, called "Fashion Hodgepodge," details Van Doorne's feud with Detective Cat, and their reporter's earlier interview with Vandoorne at the airport, where the other party repeatedly used insulting terms to evaluate Detective Cat's aesthetic ability for serious art.

…… However, Ms. Detective Cat has now been recognized and respected by Mr. Tonks, the director of the Taylor National Gallery. Her profound summary of Impressionist painting has even become the nameplate slogan in front of the Impressionist Pavilion of the world's largest private art museum......

Fashion and entertainment magazines in Europe are very competitive.

In order to seize the timeliness, many newspapers and periodicals, especially electronic fashion publications that do not need to wait for printing, are daily.

Even during International Fashion Week, it can be published in the morning and evening.

The interview that Van Doorne had just given off the plane was compiled into a report by the "Fashion Hodgepodge" within a few hours, and it was the first to be published in the news.

Then, in a short period of time, it caused many similar fashion weekly magazines to reprint and echo.

"Who is the master? Who is the clown......"

"Whether the artist Van Doorn understands art or not, let's review the feud between Van Doorne and the detective cat......"

"Don't let avant-garde become an excuse for indiscriminate use, is Amida's ready-to-wear really sincere?"

For the first time in five years, Van Doorne will be absent from Paris Fashion Week. French fashion house Amida Group has given up its own chief artist ......"

"Old rascals get out of the art circle......"

The reason why they have attracted so much media attention in such a short period of time is not because of how much these fashion weeklies care about detective cats.

They are just passionate about eating melons.

Now Milan Fashion Week has not officially started, and everyone is bored waiting for the news.

The chief art officer of the first-line luxury brand Amida Group has lost a big face, and he is idle, which is just right to be reported.

Again

The cake of luxury goods is actually so big, and the market competition is fierce.

Amida's clique's rivals are not going to give up on the opportunity for their chief art officer to make a fool of themselves and attack their artistic design and aesthetic concepts.

Mrs. Sakai watched the news report with interest.

"Should I say that Van Doorne is unlucky, or is this female painter called Detective Cat lucky? If it had been a different time, there wouldn't have been so much heat. ”

"I saw the Scholastic Group's official tweet interacting with the detective cat today."

Katsuko Sakai casually answered her mother's questions while mixing gouache.

"Scholastic Group? This is a ladder for illustrators. I remember quite a few A-list illustrators coming from the Scholastic Group. However, working with a detective cat at this time is simply a slap in the face of Van Dorne. To get this kind of opportunity, what kind of noble person did that web illustrator climb? ”

"Maybe it won't be long before there's one more star in the world of illustration."

Mrs. Sakai shook her head.

The art world is like this, it is difficult to become famous, and it is easy to say.

With strength, nobles, and opportunities, an artist may become popular overnight and be sought after by the market, and it is common for his value to increase tenfold in just a few months.

It seems likely that this detective cat will be the next lucky one.

"Oh, yes, Katsuko, that's it."

Looking at these fashion news, she seemed to think of something, and pulled up a picture of a black and red dress that looked very high-end, and asked lazily.

"Previously, Prada's Nagoya VIP senior account manager called me, at the New York Fashion Week that ended last week, they just launched a new A-line dress for the spring and summer series at the press conference, I think it looks too young and not suitable for my age, are you interested?"

She just asked casually.

Mrs. Sakai herself spends a lot of money in the field of fashion and luxury, but she knows that her daughter was not very interested in dressing up in the past.

Tsunamasa Sakai also likes to buy sneakers such as trendy brands or coconuts and AJ.

Katsuko has always been lacking in interest.

"Uh-huh......"

This time, the girl didn't immediately refuse.

She put down her paintbrush, turned her head and glanced at the picture of the dress in her mother's hand, looking at the curvy appearance of the fashionable female model on the screen against the background of the skirt, and hesitated for a moment.

"Are you interested?"

Mrs. Sakai raised an eyebrow.

"Mom, you say...... Will I look good in this dress? ”

Katsuko Sakai seemed to be really moved, she raised her arms flat, twisted her waist in front of her mother, and her beautiful curves were revealed.

"Compared to girls of the same age, my usual dress is a bit outdated." She asked quietly.

"How is it possible, our Katsuko is the cutest."

Mrs. Sakai said without hesitation.

It's just that her tone is a little playful.

Mrs. Sakai was from here, and she knew that her precious daughter was a little bit of a red luan.

In front of the boy you like, even if you don't like to dress up, you will want your sweetheart to appreciate you a few more times.

It's just that

Who could it be?

"Komatsu Taro has got a ticket to the box at Tokyo Dome and wants to invite you to see Kwon Ji-ryong's concert on the weekend. You've been a little tired lately, would you like to relax? There are no Prada stores in Myanmar, so you can go back to Japan and try on a new dress, and ask Komatsu to give you a look. He is a young man who has a good understanding of fashion brands. ”

Mrs. Sakai tried to ask.

"I still want to change my paper over the weekend, so you can send my size to the store and have it send it over." Katsuko Sakai's tone was indifferent.

Mrs. Sakai was helpless, she didn't have much hope, and it seemed that her daughter really didn't have much interest in Komatsu.

Komatsu-kun, you're too uncompetitive.

Mrs. Sakai shook her head, her gaze resting on the frame on the coffee table on the side.

It was a stick figure sketch of Katsuko Sakai returning to the Aman's long-term rental yard and asking the hotel housekeeper for a photo frame.

Like a baby, my daughter carefully put the sketch into the frame.

"This guy drew it? He pleases girls and makes such a fool of things? ”

Mrs. Sakai noticed the irregular torn edges of the sketch paper and sneered.

Damn it

Do you know what it means for my mother's hard-working baby daughter to like it?

Compared to her younger brother, Katsuko Sakai is the one who is more likely to take over Uncle Sakai's class.

Whether from the perspective of artistic property or material property, the "dowry" is an astronomical amount that ordinary people cannot get in ten lifetimes.

Komatsu Taro thinks about how to please Katsuko every day, and he is about to go crazy.

outcome

You don't even want to use a good piece of paper?

Mrs. Sakai was very unhappy.

"Gu Jun wanted to paint a new one, but I refused. This painting is very good, Mom, don't you say? ”

Katsuko Sakai carefully observed her mother's face.

Mrs. Sakai snorted.

Even she has to admit that this line drawing is really amazing for a student.

After all, an artist has to use painting to speak.

As she got in touch with Gu Weijing, Mrs. Sakai also understood a little that her husband was optimistic about Gu Weijing.

Such talent, such progress.

It is not an exaggeration to call the last sentence a young genius.

"By the way, Mom, can you recruit one more person in your improvement class?"

Sakai Katsuko saw that her mother's face was slightly pale, so she asked softly.
