How did I become an old artist?

Chapter 94 The fox carved in stone is really squinting and smiling!

In the morning, in the countryside, in a small farmyard.

Two little foxes were playing, and the elder brother pressed the younger sister to the grass and nibbled.

The little black back squatted aside, with two little white geese clinging to its body, as if they were its little brothers.

Zhao Chen turned on the live broadcast, and then started busy with carving again.

He was still focused, still enthusiastic.

There are many people watching the live broadcast.

[Master is busy again! 】

[It’s still a familiar scene, but this time it’s no longer a plastic clay blank, but a carved Shoushan stone. 】

【This is the artist! 】

[He looks so handsome in concentration, are all craftsmen so handsome? 】

[This still depends on the face. Many people also say that the boys who cook are handsome. Then you go to the back kitchen of the small restaurant to see if those burly cooks are handsome. 】

[Really, handsome people are handsome in washing dishes, and unhandsome people are like shoveling shit when playing golf. 】

Chatting lively in the barrage.

Zhao Chen used a carving knife to carve the stone material of Shoushan Stone bit by bit. Right now, the shape of the little fox has begun to take shape.

Zhao Chen carefully carved the fox's front paws and tail, and the most difficult part was the head.

When sculpting, Zhao Chen's mind was full of the image of the little fox, Coke.

From the first time Coke was brought to Zhao Chen's yard by its mother, this little guy was very courageous.

It is brave, confident, happy, and has been protecting his sister.

Foxes are smart, and Coke is even more so.

While thinking about it, Zhao Chen used the hammer to lightly chisel the stick and carve on the stone.

On the stone, the face of the little fox became clearer and clearer.

After carving for a while, Zhao Chen took out the electric tool for carving—the electric grinder.

At this time, a netizen named [Stone Carving Craftsman He An] posted a bullet screen saying: [The anchor finally used an electric grinder, I thought I would finish carving with bare hands! 】

Seeing his ID, everyone knew he was an insider, so they immediately became curious.

What is an electric grinder?
At this time, only Zhao Chen explained:

"Now that technology is advancing, many things have become more convenient for handcraftsmen."

"For example, when carving stone materials in the past, we could only use hammers and large and small carving knives to make them one by one, and to carve slowly."

"It's labor-intensive and time-consuming."

"The electric grinder is this thing. It looks like a drill. It can be filled with various types of carving knives on the head, which is equivalent to replacing the function of a hammer. In this way, the efficiency of carving will be greatly improved."

"For cutting and grinding, you can use an angle grinder."

"So, the speed of stone carving is not too slow."

"Some people like stone carving, and they will buy stones and electric grinders to study at home, which is also very convenient."

"However, the repair of the details needs to be accurate to the millimetre, and it is better to use hand tools. Therefore, the electric grinder can only speed up the early stage, and the later stage still needs to be done by hand."

Zhao Chen took out a drill-like tool and said to everyone.

With the blessing of the electric grinder, Zhao Chen's carving speed has been accelerated a lot.

He was still cautious, still focused.

【Master, I bought an electric grinder and an angle grinder, can I also carve? 】

[Yeah, handicrafts are so popular now, I also want to play carving! 】

Several netizens immediately asked.

At this time, a netizen [Stone Carving Craftsman He An] posted a barrage saying: [Carving is difficult. Take the chisel as an example, it needs to deal with the part and the whole, structure and space, shape and flesh and blood, dynamic and static, point line and plane Relationship. 】

[It's like a painter who learns to paint needs to learn the structure of the human body. 】

[Sculpture is a kind of art, and it is also necessary to master these basic knowledge. 】

[There is nothing that cannot be achieved after a few years of hard work! 】

Seeing this netizen's barrage, everyone immediately understood:

Sure enough, there is a threshold for such things as art!

Just seeing Brother Chen doing it, I thought it was very simple!

[Okay, I give up, just watch the master's live broadcast! 】

[People are different, some people are born with dexterity, there is no way! 】

Slow work and meticulous work, just like this, Zhao Chen continued to sculpt for about a week before the shape of the little fox was completely clear.

Afterwards, Zhao Chen started to lighten the stone carving with the lightening knife.

Cultivating light is a very important step. It is necessary to confirm the direction and technique of the knife according to the regular characteristics of the scenery and animals, and it is best to avoid disorder and powerlessness.

This step is also a key step in creating the charm of stone carvings.

There is a formula for Shoushan stone carving that once said:

"Breaking of phase stones determines the overall situation, and the structure of the chiseled blanks is clear;"

"Cultivating light knife technique seeks charm, and fine polishing is more vivid!"

In the previous communication between Zhao Chen and Lin Xiangyun, the most talked about was the technique of Xiuguang.

This day Zhao Chen was repairing the light, there was a lot of powdery stone powder on the stone carving, Zhao Chen didn't wipe it off.

Therefore, the little fox's demeanor still looks a little fuzzy.

Until the sunset on the western mountain, Zhao Chen completed the last stroke of repair.

He put down the file and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh, it's finally done!"

"This engraving surprised me more than I expected."

"Especially in the little fox's eyes, there happened to be a small black spot, so I repaired it into eyes."

"This work is perfect."

Zhao Chen admired his finished product and laughed.

This time the Shoushan stone carving was much better than he had imagined.

There are about 20 people online in the live broadcast room, and compared with the previous popularity, the number has dropped slightly.

However, when people knew that Zhao Chen had finished carving the little fox, the number of people in the live broadcast room began to increase rapidly.

[Is Brother Chen finished? 】

【where?Let me see! 】

[It's Little Fox Coke, exactly the same! 】

[But I feel that the expression is not clear, is it not done well! 】

[This is already very good, how can animal carving be so easy! 】

The drone gave a close-up of the stone carving.

In the live broadcast, a little fox sleeping with its own tail clearly visible.

The little fox's two slender black legs stick out, its body is curled up into a ball, its eyes are squinted, and it looks exactly like the real Coke.

It's just that the fox's face is not so clear, and it looks a little less flavorful.

In terms of handwork, this is already a very good work.

However, it still has not reached the level of Shoushan Stone Carving Master.

Therefore, some netizens feel sorry.

After all, Zhao Chen's craftsmanship is almost invincible in their hearts!

[It's a little bit worse, but it's already very good! 】

[This craft can go to a carving factory to be a sculptor, okay?Have you never seen stone sculptures? 】

At this time, Zhao Chen took a sip of water, took a long breath, and said:
"The stone carving has been carved, and the last step is polishing."

"I almost forgot. When the light was repaired just now, the stone chips were still accumulated on the carving. I didn't have time to clean it up, so it looked a bit blurry."

"Wait for me to clean it up."

With that said, Zhao Chen picked up a clean cloth, dipped it in some water, and wiped off the stone chips on the surface of the stone carving bit by bit.

When the stone chips disappeared and the expression of the little fox was completely exposed to everyone's sight, everyone was stunned.

The stone-carved fox is really smiling with narrowed eyes.

That feeling of being alive came to my face.

The previous doubts completely disappeared.

Instead, shock!

It is shocking to be amazed by art!

how can that be?

The fox carved out of stone is laughing!

Is this fox alive? !
