Chapter 17. New attempts

Determined that in the future, I would take Gongbi figure painting as my main direction of attack, and I started a serious study mode.

Because of the deep, it is natural to use your mobile phone to find information many times.

The mobile phone is a very magical thing, this sentence is not rigorous, it should be said that the current mobile phone is a very magical thing. In order not to be raised, I rated the earliest mobile phones as shocking, and when I first saw them, I thought it was really ...... to be able to make calls without a phone line It's just that after the shock, it was pulled down.

When I say magic here, I mean its intelligence alone.

A long time ago, about the first few years of this century, the Internet was in the exploratory mode, and all walks of life competed with each other to use their own means.

I can't remember which website I saw a message saying that one day in the future, the Internet will send a separate message to everyone's preferences, which roughly means this.

Reading about this place, I scoffed as much as the vast majority of people of that era.

International jokes, how is this possible.

However, in just a few years, the original impossible has become a daily routine.

Open your phone every day, and all the content you like is pushed on it.

Sometimes if you show even the slightest interest in something, you'll get a push on your phone, even if you're just saying a few words in a casual conversation.

So people are spending more and more time in front of their phones.

Because you don't have to choose, everything you get in your phone is what you like.

I always look at the subject matter of painting, and naturally there are a lot of such resources pushed in my mobile phone.

I don't know when one type of ads began to appear on my phone and computer.

You can make money again.

Unlike the literati of Qinggao, I have always been interested in making money.

Because of my love for money, I have made a general classification of the industries that make money in the current society, of course, it is only my own opinion.

Because I like to think alone and summarize and categorize, I have a different view of many things than others.

The most important thing is that as a Scorpio, I am rarely influenced by others to change myself.

This also caused a lot of people to resent me.

Ever since I was in school, I have been almost polarized, either with whom I have a very good relationship or who doesn't like me.

A large part of the reason for the disgust is the difference in ideas, but I can't change it when I try to change it, which causes many people to deny me because of the inconsistency of opinions.

I don't care about that, I really don't.

One of my favorite quotes about narcissism is that not being envied is mediocrity.

There are even times when no one is jealous of me, and I will reflect on whether I haven't done well enough recently, and I haven't made any progress, why no one is jealous of me.

In fact, there is no one and nothing that can be admired by everyone.

Even the great poet Rabindranath Tagore admired the paintings of the painter Feng Zikai, and some people still wrote articles criticizing him for "painting shamelessly" (later I learned that it was the title party that praised him).

There is a public account that should not have looked closely at this article that is criticized on the surface but is actually a compliment, saying that Feng Zikai was not angry, annoyed, or ignored at that time, and said: "There is no one in this world who can satisfy everyone, there will always be people who find fault with you, and there will always be people who praise you." What you have to do is not to please others, but to be yourself. (I didn't find the source of Feng Zikai's words, so I quote it for the time being, this passage is always correct)

yes, be yourself.

And one of the most important characteristics of myself is that I never take the initiative to cause trouble, but I will definitely fight back when others provoke me.

I have never had anything to compromise on this principle.

Just like the teachers at that time resolutely disagreed with Yan Laoxi's change of "if someone offends me, I will offend others" to a person, and if he offends me, I will defend myself.

Even if it is a poor practice according to Mrs.

I think one of my great strengths is that although I have my own opinions and thinking, and I am very persistent, I never force others to agree with me.

It's like when I'm alone I can have a loaf of bread for lunch, but I don't envy or object to people who spend hours cooking a table and then singing in a low voice.

The reason why I spent a certain amount of time emphasizing my personality traits again is just to say that different people have different concerns, so the allocation of time is also different.

Because I always cherish my time and am willing to spend it on what I am willing to do, and I can't do anything else without getting it.

For example, my wife always has an opinion about my painting table, saying that I always make a mess and don't clean it up.

To explain here, it should not be an excuse for being lazy.

I really care about time, and I've always felt that I don't have enough time.

So I don't want to waste a little time on things that I don't want to waste when I don't have any use, such as housework, such as ineffective entertainment, such as playing mahjong, such as small talk, etc.

Even if I just stay there for a while, it will restore a lot of energy and get back to doing what I love.

With a strong leap in thinking, I ran away again.

Some people say that artists have a strong leap of thinking, although I am not an artist yet, but the leap of thinking is more than equal, I always naturally can turn to a new topic when talking to people, and even in the eyes of others it is an irrelevant topic, but I know that this is definitely not the case, there is a connection, but the average person does not know that I have jumped or even if he knows that I have jumped, he can't jump so far.

There have been many times like this, and my wife always said that I couldn't understand what I said, and this really couldn't be explained.

Not all of them didn't know what I was saying, for example, my classmate Xu Liqun understood what I meant.

My classmate Tian Jijiang also understood what I was talking about.

This strong jumping is probably the fundamental reason why I like to try new things!

Ran too far.

Get back to business.

I have categorized the industries that make money in society into four categories.

The first category I boil down to the field of circulation.

Anything that is bought from place A and sold in place B belongs to this aspect. Whether it is selling toothpicks or selling airplanes, the point is what is incoming and selling, and there is no change in the goods themselves during the period, that is to say, there is no process of value-added.

This type of industry was very popular in the 80s, when the lack of goods and information covered up the shortcomings of this type of industry.

In the past, this kind of industry could also earn some price difference by relying on information asymmetry, but as the network becomes more and more powerful, this kind of money will become more and more difficult to earn.

The second category I boil down to is the field of machining.

That is, there is a difference between what is bought and what is sold. For example, I buy a few pieces of paper, then print them with a printer and cut them into business cards, and then I go to sell business cards. At this time, business cards are two completely different items from paper, and the focus of this type of industry is the process of processing and recreation, that is to say, the most important thing is the value-added process.

I've always had a soft spot for this type of field.

The main thing is to look at the value-added process.

The third category I boil down to is the service area.

Providing services to others for remuneration through one's own skills or services.

Selling paintings, writing articles, and submitting articles to earn manuscript fees all belong to this category.

Unlike some people who claim that they don't love money just to improve their self-cultivation, all my efforts are to one day turn my paintings and articles into money, which I have always stated openly and unabashedly.

I don't think the two are in conflict, or even mutually reinforcing.

If the cultivation goes up, the painting skills will naturally go up, and the painting skills will go up, how can the painting price not go up.

It's like some people always say that he doesn't play to win or lose, but to exercise and sweat. I always like to scare people with low emotional intelligence, and I don't exercise and sweat when I win? Haven't heard of it!

A few more people who bother me.

The fourth category I boil down to is the investment field.

Whether it's buying lottery tickets, stocks, or funds, it's such an area. Even the rich second generation is reincarnated, this is also an investment, and it is the most successful investment, but there is no strategy for this kind of investment.

There is also his own investment to be the boss, which is also in this field.

After investing, he finds people who need it to help him grow his wealth, which of course has to be summarized in the field of investment.

These four types of money-making industries are just my own understanding after referring to a lot of information, they are not instructive, and there is no good or bad theory, all of which are billionaires and all of which are bankrupt.

If you can have guidance and make money, you must seize it.

Never go high.

So as a money-loving person, I was immediately moved when I saw such an advertisement and began to understand.

Of course, this isn't my first attempt.

I'm always curious about everything and want to give it a try.

For example, some time ago, the QQ group was full of advertisements for swiping orders, declaring how much money it was to swipe an order, and I became curious.

How is money cheated?

So set up a trumpet and started contacting.

The other party told me that in order to prove that I am an adult and have the ability to take orders, I need to have a balance of 600 yuan in Alipay to prove that I am not a student.

Actually, it doesn't matter if it's a student or not, I understand, you have to prove that there is money for them to cheat.

For me, a P map master, don't say 600, 6 million is no problem.

P good picture, send it to the other party.

The other party gave me a Taobao link.

Click in, it is a three-piece bedding set of more than 400 yuan, and it has been verified repeatedly, and everything is fine.

Then the other party told me that this is the brush.

Said that after paying the money, I would return the money if I chose to return it directly, and then give them the screenshots, and immediately a single 10 yuan would arrive in my account, no two words.

Then I was sent a QR code directly.

A QR code for receiving payments.

Immediately understood, the money sent to this QR code was gone.

I'm very happy to know how the other party cheats money.

But this is not my character, so I told the other party, you said that it was late, and I had already placed an order to pay.

Then send a screenshot of the other party's order (of course, it's P, don't doubt this).

The other party was visibly angry and told me that it didn't count.

Must swipe that QR code they provide.

I humbly and inquisitively asked what to do, how to refund the one I had already paid in Taobao.

The other party explained patiently, and of course I was "too stupid" and always asked all kinds of new questions.

After figuring out this problem, I told them that the seller would not refund me at all.

Then the other party gave me how to defend my rights and learned a lot of knowledge.

Then tell the other party that Taobao is giving me a refund......

Then I told the other party that I had less than 400 in the card, and my wife asked me to buy a knife......

Then humbly asked the other party, will you pay me so much money for just swiping the more than 300 yuan of things you newly provided......

Then complained that the pocket money given to me by Mrs. was too small, and I couldn't buy anything if I wanted to go out, so I had to pay the same amount as the 400 yuan for me.....

The other party agreed, and then I had to inch in and want more swipe fees......

Then the scene is slightly ......

Until the scammer blocked me (unfortunately I couldn't find the conversation in QQ after changing my phone.,Or it would be very interesting to take a screenshot of the picture.)。

Madame said I was idle.

It's the same this time, when I see that there is money to be made, I automatically turn on the bright mode.

I even look at it deceptively, not to mention this kind of advertisement, which is a bit reliable, of course, I can't miss this.

To get a first look, this is board drawing.

A must-have skill for today's concept artists and illustrators.

Scorpio, who likes new things, never rejects new skills.

When I found out that this board painting and Gongbi figure painting could complement each other, I began to devote a lot of my energy to it.

Buy a board and practice the line.

People who are used to drawing on paper with a pencil suddenly switch to a digital pen to draw must be extremely unaccustomed at first.

The main problem is that it is slippery and not easy to control.

I can't control where the pen goes out.

Then start drawing one line at a time and take your time.

Completely think of yourself as a newcomer, and certainly not as a newcomer.

Gradually, I was able to draw a crooked bottle.

Gradually, I will be able to draw a lotus flower that can be seen.

Started to make a little bit of progress.

No shortcuts, hard work!

I found a lot of pictures of tools on the Internet, and I practiced the same.

It's really hard.

The line is always difficult to control, either long or short, and then crooked to the side.

Practice a lot every day.

Slowly see the progress.

In general, Ctrl+Z can draw a line accurately a few times.

Ctrl+z is to return to the previous operation, which is much easier to use than the eraser, at least the keyboard is at hand, unlike the eraser, you can't always find it when you use it, you can see it everywhere when you don't use it, I've bought countless pieces, or you can't find it when you use it!

At this time, I miss the time when I was a child, when there was a pencil with a small piece of eraser attached to the tip of the pen.

I don't know if children today have ever seen that kind of eraser.

It shouldn't be important, what they have now we didn't have back then.

Almost every day I make time to practice.

As your training time grows, you can copy your character!

Although there are still discrepancies in the details, I can finally master the pen.

Then there was a three-day board drawing class at the Chinese university MOOC.

Sign up and learn.

Although they are all copying, they do have a completely different style of painting than before.

Then I decided to start paying money to study, but I mistakenly put the money in a place called X State Classroom, which is also a place to teach board painting.

I had no choice but to follow along.

To be honest, this money is really not something I want to learn.

Even though the money was staggered, I didn't even think about discussing getting the money back, so it shouldn't be possible.

Don't think about anything else, just learn little by little.

Start by drawing a variety of lines.

Then I slowly began to try to organically combine board painting and gongbi figure painting.

Begin to learn how to refine line drawings.

It's another difficult process.

Keep practicing hard, there are no shortcuts!

After all, I already have that grand goal in mind!

For that goal!

Diligent!

Hard!
