With a little force, Gu Weijing used a pencil to eliminate more than a dozen small grids.

Kou Kokou glanced at the podium and saw that the teacher was not in the classroom, so she completely relaxed.

She turned her head sideways, rested her right wrist under her cheek, and lazily swiped her phone, glancing at her homework paper progress from time to time.

This kind of close-up and generous viewing, even if she has felt numb to Gu Weijing's speed, it is still a completely different feeling.

"Honestly...... Your proficiency in sketching techniques far exceeds that of most of your classmates. ”

Kou Kou squinted her eyes and couldn't help but say, "I think your coloring speed is similar to when the teacher demonstrated on the podium just now." ”

"Strictly speaking, it's still a little worse."

Gu Weijing rotated the pencil and began to work on the last blank space on the sketch paper.

Mr. Wattle is a senior art professor at Dulwich College, and he is one of the best at sketching in the whole of Yangon.

After Gu Weijing started school, he used [Calligraphy and Painting Appraisal Technique] to glance at the teacher's works in the school exhibition column.

Professor Wattel's sketch level system panel can reach the first level of the profession, and the experience value is about 4500.

It's quite close to the level of the second rank of the profession.

From a purely numerical point of view, Gu Weijing is actually still lacking.

"Professor Wattel's previous show is not the limit of his speed, and he is standing and bending down under the projector to draw, which will also have an effect on the force of the pen."

Gu Weijing thought for a while and explained: "If I want to catch up with Teacher Wattel's level, it should take a few days." ”

"After a while...... This kind of understatement is like saying that I went to the school gate for a cup of coffee in the afternoon, and Mr. Wattel graduated from a prestigious school in Europe! Classmate Gu breathed a big sigh. ”

Coco raised her eyebrows in disdain: "Sure enough, it's not enough to kill our classmates in seconds, hum, I'm ready to challenge the teacher." ”

Gu Weijing didn't want to explain anything to the little girl.

He lowered his head and continued to concentrate on finishing the work of toning the last little square.

Gu Weijing noticed,

The rate of gaining experience points has decreased slightly compared to when I first started practicing.

If you start with this kind of practice, you can achieve almost the same speed as when you activate Menzel's skills.

After practicing these thirty squares, his speed of gaining experience points was only about 80 to 90 percent of the original.

That's not a bad thing,

It's just because Gu Weijing has the background of a professional painter that he can make up for the lack of details in his pen very quickly.

It is estimated that after another month of practice, he should be able to control the length of the line completely at will.

When the time comes,

Under the influence of marginal effects, the rate of gaining experience points from this practice may degrade to the point where it is similar to normal sketching.

Think about it too,

If such a simple practice had been able to maintain such an efficient improvement without attenuation, Professor Wattel, who invented this method, would not have been able to become a high school teacher in a small place like Yangon.

He thought the conversation was over.

In the next second, Coco suddenly waved her fist: "However, I still believe in the ability of Gu Gongzi, who can take a courtesy car to Bistrot 1836 to enjoy a luxurious dinner, come on." ”

Gu Weijing looked up suspiciously: "How do you know?" ”

"Didn't someone say it was a coincidence that you ran into a Bentley? It's a coincidence that you go to a high-end Italian restaurant to have a private meal? Coco didn't answer, pouting and accusing: "Liar." ”

"You're stalking me?"

Gu Weijing frowned unhappily, this little bastard's curiosity is too heavy.

"Not really, don't be angry."

Coco smiled and pushed her phone over: "It's not a loss to write my homework, although the biscuits are not delicious." But this piece of information is worth the ticket price! ”

"Your little girlfriend went to a candlelit dinner with another man behind your back, don't blame me for not reminding you. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to bear it. ”

Coco blinked with wide eyes.

Gu Weijing took the phone and found that it was a TikTok international account on Douyin, called [Mona's Painting Cottage].

Of course he knows the account.

Gu Weijing is still the administrator of its live broadcast room.

THE TIKTOK ACCOUNT WAS CREATED BY GU WEIJING AND MONA TOGETHER, AND ORIGINATED FROM THE SCHOOL'S HOMEWORK FOR THE ELECTIVE COURSE "INTERNET ART MARKETING".

Nowadays, with the development of online media, the way artists work has long been a tradition of not staying in the studio and painting by themselves.

As early as the millennium, high-end professional painters in Europe and the United States basically had their own official accounts, personal websites, BBS homepages, etc., operated by special people.

Nowadays, there are more YouTube channels, Douyin live broadcasts and many other content.

Uncle Sakai and Miss Katsuko's studio photo wall on INS, as well as Mr. Sloth's podcast salon, fall into this category.

Dulwich College offers relevant electives early on.

When they were in the eleventh grade, Mona judged that there was a future for art and self-media marketing in the future, so she pulled Gu Weijing to sign up for this elective course.

The teacher asked each study group to create a self-media account on YouTube, Douyin, or Twitch (a foreign live streaming platform).

The final results are checked based on the number of audience views.

Relying on Mona's beauty, their account had more than 10,000 followers at the end of the semester, and a video had more than 150,000 views.

It was the only study group that got an A+ in that class.

After the semester ended, the two of them have been operating the account to this day.

During the Spring Festival this year, the number of followers on the account was just over 37,000, which is very good for middle school students, and occasionally they can receive a little local cha fan business order.

This made his cousin Gu Lin, who also likes to shoot short videos and dreams of being a video Internet celebrity, very jealous.

Gu Weijing found out that Mona updated a new video last Friday night.

Wonder, why didn't I receive the relevant reminder?

HE TOOK OUT HIS PHONE, OPENED TIKTOK, AND FOUND THAT NOT ONLY DID HE NOT RECEIVE A REMINDER OF THE NEW VIDEO, BUT HIS TIKTOK ACCOUNT, WHICH HAD BEEN PINNED TO THE TOP, HAD DISAPPEARED FROM HIS FEW WATCHLISTS.

Gu Weijing manually searched for the account name "Mona's Painting Cottage", but could not find the corresponding information at all.

If it weren't for the software.

Then there is only one answer left...... After he was removed from the administrator privileges by Mona, he was directly blocked.

That's why he couldn't find any relevant information.

Gu Weijing was silent for a moment, and he picked up Koukou's mobile phone.

He first clicked on Tiktok's artwork bar and swiped down briefly.

This account is mainly an art sharing column, occasionally posting some art students' daily life, and a five-episode crayon drawing beginner introductory series of videos for beginners.

Unlike Mr. Sloth's high-end podcast column, Gu Weijing and Mona's videos have a low depth, and the audience is not professional, in fact, most of them come to watch beautiful young ladies.

Gu Weijing is often only responsible for the planning, recording and editing of videos, and he has only appeared in a few episodes of videos.

Even so.

Mona also seems to have made up her mind to remove all traces of Gu Weijing in her life.

The few episodes on Douyin that have videos with Gu Weijing-related content have been taken off the shelves.

The personality signature on the homepage of the original account - "Mona and her good friend Gu Weijing share an interesting art life for everyone." ”

It was also changed to "New Life, New Beginning, My New Artistic Journey." ”

Gu Weijing clicked on the new video released by Mona last Friday.

It only took a few seconds for him to understand why the coco next to him knew that he had gone to eat at a high-end Italian restaurant in the embassy district on Friday.

I didn't expect such a coincidence,

While she and the Schönbrunn accountant were discussing the details of the contract on the second floor, Mona was also dining downstairs.

She made a short video to document the dishes at this Italian restaurant, which has been awarded two Michelin stars.

The shot at the beginning of the video swept over a row of official cars with the logos of embassies outside the restaurant, and finally landed on the blue Bentley he was riding, giving a close-up of more than ten seconds.

“Hello，my friends……”

Mona explained to the audience watching the video that Bistrot 1836 is the most famous restaurant in Yangon, known for serving the most authentic Italian cuisine.

The restaurant is often visited by diplomats from various countries, as well as international celebrities and wealthy people, and today an unknown Bigwig (dignitary) took over the entire second floor.

She suggestively pointed to the luxury car that symbolized wealth and status outside the door, pursed her lips, and said with a little ostentation, she was here for dinner with friends today.

Jerry's sunny and handsome face appears in the shot.

Gu Weijing clicked on the comment.

"Wow! A pound of steak costs 300 dollars, which is a robbery! Those who study art are indeed rich people. ”

"Rich woman, rich woman, please support!"

"The location of this restaurant is quite difficult to book. Although it is not a three-star Michelin, the Southeast Asian travel streamers I follow with millions of followers have not booked a seat at this Bistrot 1836. ”

"What about the little brother who worked with you before? I saw that everything about him seemed to have been deleted. Are you having conflicts? This comment mentioning Gu Weijing was personally replied by the UP master yesterday.

Mona's reply was also very succinct: "It's not a contradiction, it's just not appropriate, so everyone is fine." ”

Below are the various chat responses.

"Wow! Congratulations, sister, I've been following you for three years. I've always felt that he doesn't deserve you. The girl deserves better, and now the handsome guy next to her looks much better. A message from a female veteran viewer said.

"The relationship between the two of them was originally just ordinary classmates......

"I don't care, I declare, the smile of the young lady is contracted by me!"

Gu Weijing turned off the phone screen.

"It's really ruthless, people don't look down on you."

Coco licked the corners of her mouth playfully, fanning the wind on the side to light the ghost fire.

Gu Weijing did not speak.

He was in a strange mood right now.

Gu Weijing felt that he had no position to criticize Mona's behavior, did he like Mona?

I guess I like it, right?

If it weren't for Miss Mona's deliberate intent to separate, they might have been together a long time ago.

But to put it mildly, from beginning to end, they are just good friends on the surface.

I even have some ambiguity with Miss Sakai.

What qualifications does such a person have to accuse other girls of being ruthless?

Manager Gu Wei thought that he shouldn't be so uncomfortable, but he really didn't feel good now.

He subconsciously wanted to ask about Mona's account, opened the chat software, saw the message reminder, and realized that they were no longer social friends.

Gu Weijing switched to a text message and entered Mona's mobile phone number.

"I saw the account thing, Mona, are we still friends?" Gu Weijing looked at the chat box, hesitated for a long time, and only edited out this line.

After a few minutes, the phone vibrates.

"I checked yesterday and the total cumulative income of TikToK in the past three years is about 5.7 million kyats. Thank you Gu Weijing for your help and send me a card number, and all the money you want can belong to you. ”

"In the future, you don't have to worry about this account. Everyone's life paths are different, don't be entangled with each other, so as to get together and disperse. Mona replied.

……

Gu Weijing came to the Good Luck Orphanage in the afternoon.

Although his mood is a little low, he still has a lot to do, such as preparing for the upcoming art exhibition.

Even if the fusion painting still seems difficult for him to control now, it does not mean that there is nothing to do now.

The deadline for the Lion City Biennale is less than five months away.

Drawing large pictures is time-consuming.

In addition to the effort required by the painting itself, there is also the composition and creativity in the early stage.

Ideation and inspiration are more energy-consuming than writing.

Even if it is a simple landscape painting, the Impressionist master Monet once stood on a street in France for half a year in order to paint a certain church, and every day he observed the various changes of the church's bell tower in the sun.

Often skipping food and drinking, figuring out the nuances of color, one stop is a day.

In the end, he was almost sent to a mental hospital by his friend who thought he was crazy.

Gu Weijing prepared to create a figure painting for the Lion City Art Exhibition with the Good Luck Orphanage as the background.

Figures are more likely to embody the painter's emotions than scenes.

His first attempt at painting the fusion painting, "Good Luck Orphanage in the Sun", was one such attempt.

The reason why the picture painting is bad is because of Gu Weijing's ability, and there is nothing wrong with the conception.

After repeatedly studying that painting, Gu Weijing judged that in addition to the technique of fusion painting, it was also necessary to work the emotions of the characters.

The painting method is eye-catching, and the whole painting must also reach the emotional level of "feeling in the heart", so that it can win some awards at the International Art Biennale where the masters are like clouds.

And the emotions of the characters ...... Unless he was only going to include the figure of Jasmine as a small model in the picture.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for Gu Weijing to understand the other people in the orphanage to the point of empathy.

He had to find a few more models.

fortunately

There is no shortage of such interesting targets in orphanages.
