What kind of line drawing is that?

Neat, well-behaved, precise.

The sun hangs high in the sky, and because it is only a line drawing, the sunlight has no color, and the sky has no color, only the simplest lines.

The absence of color does not mean that the painting becomes boring because of it.

A sketchbook is a drawing skill that uses the simplest drawing method, simple shapes and outlines, to write the appearance of the real world.

Gu Weijing's paintings are very thoughtful.

He used irregular ovals to depict the brilliance of the sun.

He also used a line of reef-like clouds and folds on the waves that emerged above the picture.

The shape of the wind is delicately depicted.

A long line of promenade runs through the waves, and small shrubs sway in the wind between the piers of the covered bridge.

The blades of grass hang low, and the shadows of the bridges are mottled.

The whole line art is like an old photograph that has been exposed too long in the sun.

There are no superfluous details, only the simplest and neat shallow outlines remain, like a real world that has faded due to age.

The sketch teacher craned his neck to look at it.

Gu Weijing is using the tip of his pen to pull out the simple reflection of the covered bridge above the water waves, and in the end, he depicts the last trace of truth for the world under his pen.

"Sorry, it's a bit slow...... Is it okay to type it like this? ”

Gu Weijing put down the pencil.

He noticed that Professor Wattle was still pursing his lips behind him, looking at him, and asked casually.

"Slow? Perhaps, it's good to be slow, it's worth slowing. Professor Wattle's eyes were still staring at the sketch on the paper, and unconsciously, he slowly said the comment he had just put on his sketch, "The teacher asks you to pay attention to speed practice in class, and the art entrance examination, AP, and college entrance exam you are facing all have speed requirements. ”

"If you don't submit the paper within the specified time, it means zero points, so no matter how good the drawing is, it is meaningless. In addition, and more importantly, the ability level of the vast majority of students can also draw, since they are given more time, they are just grinding foreign work. ”

"At least you can practice the speed first."

"If you can paint it this way......" Professor Wattle twitched his nose, "such a work." No matter how slow the painting is, how long it takes, and how long it takes, it's worth it. ”

From the simplest number of scenes.

Gu Weijing typed a lot more manuscripts on paper than his work.

The watercolor painting exercise is just the same as the grid they draw when they sketch the lattice.

Therefore, Professor Wattle had asked him to write the manuscript with the intention that he would be qualified if he had drawn a general outline of a covered bridge.

Wattle really only made the outline of a lone covered bridge.

The reflection of the water, the sun in the sky, the hazy clouds, and the small shrubs under the bridge deck...... All of these scenes are not available in his line drawings.

It's all very simple lines.

But these foils all at once supported the whole painting.

Turning Professor Wattel's cartoon pieces of cardboard cut out from photographs by children into a covered bridge that leaps over the lake.

If you have enough time.

Professor Wattle was able to fill in all of these locations.

The question is, enough time?

The sketch professor pretended to be casual and raised his wrist, glanced at the time on his watch, and then did the math.

This is the first time I have painted such a work.

The other party has to draw the time to study the composition of the scene, and the time to determine the relationship between the size and proportion, in case the line is not drawn well, it has to be re-revised, right?

And.

I can't say that I have to stop and sharpen my pencil or something.

Professor Wattle was already swishing fast.

The ten minutes he gave were originally given by adding one minute or two minutes to the time of his gallery bridge, so he didn't think that he would be able to make Gu Weijing's painting so complicated.

As a result, the other party is very delicate in painting, and the time taken is a little longer than his.

Unless the other party happens to lock himself in a small dark room every night and practice sketching, and he happens to practice the water bridge on the west side of Museum Island in the center of Berlin.

There is only one reliable explanation left.

The student in front of me has mastered and understood the lines to the point where he does not need to bother thinking about the composition and the relationship between proportions.

The other party can draw directly when they get started, and at the same time, the smoothness of the brush when painting the scenery is not much lower than that of their own...... Even if it was the first time he had come into contact with this photo.

It's a completely familiar and flowing muscle reflex.

At the thought of this verse, Professor Wattel simply did not want to speak.

What is a gap, this is a gap.

If someone suddenly pulls out a gun, points it at Wattel's head, and hands him a pencil, a photograph of a landscape that he has never touched before.

Let him not think, immediately start to write, and if he can't draw, he will die.

With so many years of sketching experience, it's not that he can't just start drawing.

But if the other party still asks, the other party must draw quickly, draw well, draw smoothly and regularly, and not make mistakes during the use of the pen...... Dude, you might as well shoot it.

Lv.4 and Lv.5 are both professional painter-level painting proficiency.

The biggest difference is that the so-called professional first order is only a first glimpse of the professional painter's doorway, relying on diligence and practice to reach the basic line of being able to barely eat with a brush.

Similarly, Lv.4 is like a 11.5 in the 100 meters run by a Dongxia sports student.

The level of national second-class athletes.

For ordinary students, Level 2 is a very powerful and awesome level, and it can cause cheers and screams from the girls casually.

For those who want to take the single recruitment test in Qingbei, Level 2 is a stepping stone, and the minimum requirement is Level 2.

But if you really want to practice on the field, you can drive a small Mercedes-Benz and live on a large flat floor by practicing sports. Then everyone has a second-level qualification in this field, and no fart is not.

The second order of professional painters is the level at which athletes begin to slowly practice and become able to enter the room.

Whether it's using an oil brush to easily sketch the faint color of the candle flame passing through the stained glass windows between churches, or filling the space of the small square with a perfect conch-like polyphonic curve when sketching and painting a grid, or lifting the brush to easily point the wisteria flower in the chest on the paper.

In addition to the painting method has become more delicate.

The biggest change in the way of painting at this stage is that the delicate brushwork is as natural as eating and drinking.

There's no need to pursue it, it's already part of your body, it's a life skill that you rely on to survive, and it's like breathing.

Professor Wattle's sketch is like an ordinary person who, after countless exercises, finally ran 11 and a half seconds in a tailwind condition.

Triumphantly ran out to show off.

I bumped into a professional sprinter, warmed up casually, stretched the stretches, and ran on the plastic track for 11 seconds, and I felt that he was running a little slowly.

It depends.

It doesn't seem like even sweating much.

Hmph, that's too bullying!

Gu Weijing didn't know the astonishment in the teacher's heart, and he saw the watercolor paper in Professor Wattel's hand.

"Teacher, you said that you also made a draft there, so that it was specially used for me to demonstrate?" He smiled, "I'm really sorry for you." ”

Wattle's nose twitched.

He's a teacher!

The painting was in front of him, and the watercolor paper in his hand was set off as a gray rubble with no bright spots.

Professor Wattel was a little embarrassed to take it out again.

Think about it.

Take! Why can't you take it out!

As long as I'm not embarrassed myself, it's others who are embarrassed.

The corners of Wattle's mouth suddenly hooked.

"In terms of sketches, your sketch is really good. But I'm still going to criticize you. What is our purpose in drawing this picture? ”

"Not a watercolor flat painting exercise?"

"Yes, but don't you think this sketch is a bit too complicated for the flat painting practice! I've told you before, flat painting practice, the most important thing when getting started is a large area, regular shapes of the same color are used to fill in the color. When you paint these low shrubs and water waves, you're adding to the snake. ”

Wattle grimaced and pointed out Gu Weijing's problem seriously.

"Review the question, Gu, you must pay attention to the review question! How many times have I repeatedly emphasized this point in my lectures, every year in the AP exam, there is a paper that asks you to complete a work with cool paint, and the students themselves are so confident that they use warm paint on it without looking at the question. ”

The sketch teacher showed a sad look: "I tell you, don't care, many of the children who will make this kind of mistake for granted are the ones who have very strong drawing skills, and how strong they are, and they didn't complete the task according to the teacher's requirements." It's not that you can't even get a passing C-. No matter how good the words are, at most you can only get a comforting D+? ”

Gu Weijing was stunned.

He didn't expect that such a simple little thing as he could become so serious in Mr. Wattel's mouth with a few more strokes.

Although.

He vaguely felt that there was still some essential difference between his behavior and not examining the questions during the exam and taking the wrong paint.

But.

Gu Weijing in the classroom has always been the kind of good student who is obedient and obedient.

The teacher bothered to spend the afternoon alone to teach him to paint watercolors, and of course Gu Weijing didn't need to be ignorant of the good and bad to argue with the teacher.

"I'm sorry, sir, I'll pay attention next time."

He asked, "So I'll leave these reflections and shrubs blank and leave them unpainted, right?" ”

"Hmph, there's no need, the teacher already knows that you young kids make frizzy little mistakes. Therefore, I have sent you a draft in advance as a reference, and in the future, I will come here to draw a picture, and it would be good to draw the outline of the covered bridge like this. Save time, you're still early before you can get the full picture of the lake. ”

Syllable!

With a "I knew you would make mistakes" expression, Wattle slapped the watercolor paper in his hand on Gu Weijing's face.

Then he didn't change his face and took away the one in front of Gu Weijing.

"Alright, you go get watercolor tools, there's ready-made paint in the workbench drawer. I will take this watercolor paper away, and if you and your younger students make similar mistakes in the future, I will take it out as a teaching aid to show them, and tell them that a good drawing does not mean that the painting is right. ”

The sketch professor grabbed a watercolor brush.

He instructed Gu Weijing two sentences on the details of the pen when practicing the flat painting method, and how to find out the trajectory of the flow and diffusion of paint on the paper, and finally drew two strokes in person, after a live demonstration.

sent Gu Weijing to paint.

He held the watercolor paper he had brought from him, and when he turned his head and walked back to the office, he couldn't help but smile wickedly on the corners of his square Chinese face.

"Little friend, I admit that you are good at drawing. But it's better than human accidents, social experience, hehe, you still have something to learn. ”

At this point, Wattel, who was sitting at the table, threw the beer bottle into the trash.

I took a small watering can with fixing liquid, sprayed up and down on this watercolor paper, and then retrieved a folder from the bookshelf.

Carefully put it into the plastic sandwich inside, and proudly bounced through the plastic film.

"That's it!"

The last class exercise was snatched away by the shameless old guy of the principal and nailed to the propaganda board in front of the school, and Professor Wattel sprayed the other party in his heart.

Now.

He had a better alternative.

The sketch teacher collects this painting, and there is nothing particularly utilitarian in mind.

Gu Weijing's proficiency in using pencils is one of the best in the way he has been taught at Dulwich for so many years.

If so, judge by that.

It would be a bit outrageous for this student to make a name for himself in the art world in the future, and even wonder if his work would be worth it.

In addition to being the type of teacher, when he saw a full-score test paper with a neat surface and beautiful handwriting, he couldn't help but see the pure appreciation that Hunter wanted to collect.

More because.

Such a line drawing with the same subject matter, but "wonderful three points", is too rare for his sketching ability.

It is an excellent teaching material and a resource for progress.

I want to see the work of an artist with better line ability.

Just go out and buy a ticket, go to a European art museum, and it is not easy for a famous artist who can be collected by an art museum simply with a black and white sketch, but it is not easy to find a worse one than Gu Weijing's painting.

Da Vinci's hand-me-down sketches, basically any one of them has a market price of about 15 million US dollars, deducting 99% of the fame bonus, Da Vinci's sketches themselves are really awesome.

In particular, his insight into the nuances of his subjects, the combination of rigidity and softness, and the diagonal lines with different degrees of density that are characteristic of the hand.

It can be called a brilliant play with lines.

Just Google it and you'll know what a master's sketch looks like.

But what's the point of knowing, the rank is so bad, can you draw it if you know it?

In martial arts, Xiaobing and Guo Jing fight, except for shouting "Ah! "Being dropped in seconds, can you understand the true meaning of the eighteen palms of the dragon.

On the contrary, it is Gu Weijing, who can understand Wattell, which can bring direct progress.
