Almighty painter

Chapter 273 Guidance Painting

"Yeah, I did."

Sakai Katsuko put down the charcoal stick, took Gu Weijing's hand, and looked sideways at the sketch on the canvas.

This level of sketching technique is a field that countless ordinary painters have been pursuing all their lives and can't find it.

For Ms. Sakai, it is just a small starting point of her career, just like the first small hill to climb in her life.

Many, many years ago.

Katsuko Sakai had the courage to tell the most famous art master in the world in a huge art museum where people come and go, that one day she will become a great artist greater and more famous than Takashi Murakami.

Katsuko Sakai never doubted that one day she would be able to overcome the art bottleneck that plagued her.

The highest peak in the field of art, no matter how high the mountain is or how deep the snow is, she will eventually go up step by step until the end of the sky.

It's just that Lian Shengzi himself didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

On this 17-year-old spring afternoon, when she decided to sprint towards the Singapore Art Biennale.

Because of the boys around me, everything happened just right.

Katsuko Sakai quietly stood on tiptoe, and put his head on Gu Weijing's shoulder in a very gentle and virtuous manner.

"Gu Weijing?"

"Ok?"

"We can also raise a cat together in the future. Awang looks very cute. I wonder if it would be better to buy her a cat-shaped bow headband."

Katsuko Sakai wanted to talk about sketching, art, and the competition and challenges in the upcoming art exhibition.

When the words came to his lips, he lost interest in saying these things.

The girl narrowed her eyes slightly.

What should come will always come, and now, she just wants to enjoy the breeze blowing on her cheeks on this quiet spring day.

life is beautiful.

"Awang? It's a bit fierce. By the way, by the way, old man Wu is very sad for your behavior of pampering his cat. Now he has his eyes on the canned cheese cat I took from the past, and he can't wait to take it away as a snack for him. chewed."

Gu Weijing recalled an interesting incident.

The old man next door scanned the canned ration meat in front of his native cat with his mobile phone last time, and when it was about to sell for 116 dollars a can on Amazon, the old man Wu even had the expression that his eyes were about to pop out.

seriously.

Awang's current food expenses are higher than the per capita monthly salary of ordinary people in this country, and it is better than more than 90% of people in this country.

Go on like this.

The day when Aqing and her master would fight over canned food was not far away.

"I'll buy the old man what he wants to eat, so that he won't steal Awang's food, okay?" Sakai Katsuko just pursed her lips and smiled mischievously.

Gu Weijing and Sakai Katsuko laughed for a while.While chatting, his eyes kept staring at the draft on the drawing board in front of Shengzi from time to time.

"Hi, what are you thinking about?"

Sakai Katsuko noticed Gu Weijing's hesitant expression, she straightened her hair, and she took the initiative to ask.

"I have a small suggestion." Gu Weijing walked to the drawing board, "If this is the draft of your exhibition painting, I'm thinking, maybe it can be..."

He reached out and broke off a small piece of oatmeal bread on the table.

Oatmeal bread is not a snack when painting, but a part of painting tools.

It is difficult to wipe off sketches with ordinary erasers on oil canvas. The surface of baked bread is full of unique fiber texture, which is an excellent item for absorbing charcoal.

From the time of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings.

Painters and draughtsmen always kept a loaf of bread on hand as they worked.

This tradition continues to this day.

From the effect point of view, soft bread crumbs and charcoal powder are almost a perfect match. The ability to absorb black powder cannot be replaced by PVC rubber.

Gu Weijing sometimes uses canvas erasers produced by drawing pencil brands such as Faber-Castell instead of bread to draw.

It's not that the effect is better, it's just based on cost considerations.

A piece of industrial eraser costs only a few dollars at best, and using soft bread to erase paintings year after year has actually been quite a luxury from the Middle Ages to the present.

Sakai Katsuko's painting method is very classical and willful.

She is still the same as the great painters hundreds of years ago, always keeping a few pieces of oatmeal bread beside her easel.

"You want to revise my drawing? Do you have any better suggestions?"

Sakai Katsuko asked.

It's not that she is proud and complacent, but that she is really satisfied with her manuscript.

"No big changes, just the line ratio of some characters. It would probably be better to adjust a little bit."

Gu Weijing saw Sakai Katsuko indicating with his eyes that he could operate directly on this canvas.

So, he carefully glued away some lines, and added some lines with charcoal.

Judging from Gu Weijing's current perspective, there is nothing wrong with the girl's composition and painting ideas.

It is lively and interesting, but also has a sense of Zen in it.

Compared with Boss Chen's guidance, his original composition of "Lucky Orphanage in the Sun" was not so high.

It's just that there is a trace of incongruity in the sketch lines.

It stands to reason that both of them are at LV.5 sketching level, and their line structure ability is evenly matched. In terms of art accumulation and artistic vision, Sakai Katsuko has the advantage.

However, Gu Weijing possesses two completely unreasonable knowledge cards: "Anatomy of the Human Body" and "Pet Mind Reading".

When it comes to mastering the anatomical drawing knowledge of human figures and cat squinting muscles, there are only a few painters in the world who can defeat Gu Weijing.

Even if the sketch skills of the second level of the profession are not able to exert the full power of the knowledge card, it is still very easy to change the drawing for Sakai Katsuko.

The draft does not have complicated toner shadows, and the painting is very light.

Gu Weijing spent a short time and slightly changed a dozen lines, then put down the charcoal and nodded and said, "Okay, isn't this better?"

Sakai Katsuko stared at the canvas and didn't speak for a long time.

Everything is about comparison.

Komatsu Taro is no longer proficient in lines, and he is not so bad at sketching among painters of the same age, but when he presented treasures to Sakai Katsuko, he was said to be full of mistakes and omissions.

Ms. Shengzi has painted thousands of plaster models and character models. She is still very confident in her ability to portray muscular figures.

However, now that Katsuko Sakai was in front of Gu Weijing, she once again felt the feeling of being critically attacked by her talent.

It is difficult to say what major changes Gu Weijing made to the line draft.

On the canvas in front of him, there are still faint traces of dusty afterimages of the lines before his original modification.

The trends of the old and new lines overlap almost completely, with only a slight difference in the curvature of the arc and an azimuth shift of one or two millimeters.

In fact, Katsuko Sakai's lines were already well drawn in the sketches of the general characters on the canvas.

It would be strange to have any major changes.

Just a shift of one or two points produces a visible difference in expressive effect in the sketch sample.It's hard to say which modification made the difference compared to the line draft I made before.

All the changes for boys are very small.

The radian of Jasmine's spine has been increased by one point, the apex of the toes and the arches of the feet has been pulled up a few millimeters, the direction of the cat's tail swinging, and the tangent arc between the ears and the round face have all been slightly changed.

Just between the deviations of these fragmentary lines, the picture suddenly became clear - the sketch on the linen canvas became as vivid as the moon through the clouds!
“What a finishing touch.”

Sakai Katsuko took Gu Weijing's arm into her arms and sniffled.

"This is not the finishing touch. Compared with the master works that can really bring the whole painting to life, I just slightly adjusted a few lines based on my feeling. You have already finished 99% of the painting, and I can at most make up the last 1 % deficiency."

Gu Weijing is not being modest.

He had seen the real finishing touch.

In front of Mr. Cao Xuan's miraculous effect on the murals in front of the Shwedagon Pagoda, his behavior of changing the lines according to the knowledge cards was praised by his girlfriend as "the finishing touch".

Unavoidably, some Guan Gong was ashamed of playing big swords in front of the gate.

unfortunately,

Sakai Katsuko is a girl, so some Buddhist temples and areas of the Shwedagon Pagoda are not allowed to enter, so she has no chance to witness the extremely shocking scene with her own eyes.

"Sketch is the reflection of personal emotion and experience on paper. Your 1% aura is more important than 99% of my efforts. Compared with the current drawing, my original drawing is just a plastic man in a department store The plush toys in the shape of cats sold in the shopping mall.”

Sakai Katsuko made a serious correction.

She knew that Gu Weijing's muscle lines were drawn extremely accurately.

But only when he changed the drawing for himself by himself, did Shengzi so clearly feel the gap in the understanding of muscle lines between the two.

"True" and "live" works, the attractiveness of the picture to the audience is completely different.

This is the difference of perceptual cognition.

After a few minutes of modification, Gu Wei added at least [-]% to the final effect of this work.

It is precisely because of understanding this.

Ms. Sakai Katsuko is now curled up in her socks in surprise.

"In the field of muscle line interpretation, you are enough to be my teacher." There was a rare hint of heartfelt reverence in the tone of the girl in the skirt.

Love is a mixture of passions.

Hugo believed that it included the worship of the body and the worship of the spirit.

Katsuko is such a proud genius.

It's hard to fall in love with someone, but it's even harder to really yearn for or even worship a peer.

The more knowledgeable you are, the more proud you are. When you ponder the works in front of you, you can taste the horrible and terrifying flavor.

Insufficient self-picture is not terrible.

What's really scary is that she didn't even realize the problem existed!

Before that, Shengzi felt that he had drawn very harmoniously and realistically.

Therefore, the character image on the draft just now is the limit of her ability to draw muscle lines, and even the limit of her vision and understanding.

Gu Weijing found a problem.I corrected the problematic lines casually and drew a "guiding picture".

Be ignorant, discover problems, and correct problems.

They respectively correspond to three completely different levels of grasping the anatomy of painting.

The gap between each realm is like cloud and mud.

"I'm glad to be your girl." Sakai Katsuko closed her eyes slightly with love dripping from her cheeks, and rubbed against Gu Weijing's chest.

Gu Weijing saw Shengzi's cuteness and became jealous, so he couldn't help pinching the girl's pink earlobe with his fingers.

Sakai Katsuko blushed.

But she didn't dodge. Instead, she turned her head slightly to allow Gu Weijing to squeeze more easily.

"It's nice to be your boyfriend too."

Gu Weijing felt that Shengzi was really fun, he was really obedient, and couldn't help but want to take a bite.

he does not know.

In fact, only in front of her, Miss Shengzi would reveal this soft, waxy feeling.

Sakai Katsuko has never been the kind of soft-tempered person who clings to others like a feather.

She may have a good personality.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, Shengzi is the precious daughter of a top artist.

She is confident, powerful, and unattainable.

Tsunamasa Sakai, the younger brother of the same mother, had his hair dyed in a very unconventional way, but Katsuko was able to treat him submissively.Compared to Mrs. Sakai, whose mouth is as poisonous as a knife, Tsunamasa Sakai is actually a little afraid of the elder sister who has been better than him in everything he has done since he was a child.

Compared with his glamorous sister, Tsunamasa Sakai felt that he was just a bonus.

The same is true of Dulwich College. After the initial curiosity about transfer students dissipated, invisible class barriers appeared in everyone's mind.

Whether it is family background, appearance, talent.

Katsuko Sakai is so beautiful in every way that she has an inaccessible aura.

People with a little low self-esteem would feel uncomfortable even sitting at the table close to Katsuko to eat.In addition to being a bit of a social cow, Kou Kou, who is also a girl, joined Katsuko Sakai's chat software friends with her thick skin.

A prodigal son like Jerry.

He dared to form a band to confess to Mona in public at the opening ceremony, but he didn't even have the courage to strike up a conversation with Miss Sakai.

Taro Komatsu has known Katsuko Sakai much longer than Gu Weijing, but unfortunately he will never have the chance to see Miss Katsuko with such a gentle and gentle look.

same,

Xiao Song would not believe that the inaccessible goddess in her eyes would turn her face sideways and obediently let the boy scratch her ears.

Only Gu Weijing could make Sakai Katsuko make such a gesture.

Only this person of the same age, from the first moment they met, kept bringing him one surprise after another, refreshing his understanding of him time and time again.

This sense of mystery is like a cloud shrouded in mist, and she occasionally reveals magical abilities that make her admire her. Among all the boys Miss Shengzi has known in her life, only Gu Weijing can do it.

As a result, the girl has a feeling of being conquered.

Therefore, only Gu Weijing has the blessing and luck to see such a moving side of Sakai Katsuko.

Miss Sakai leaned against Gu Weijing's side, her whole body was slightly numb from the tension, she closed her eyes and waited for a while, her heart beating like a drum.

Gu Weijing's hand seemed to be rubbing her earlobe persistently.

Sakai Katsuko opened her eyes with three points of joy and three points of regret again.

Gu Weijing didn't know that he had just missed a good opportunity to kiss Sakai Katsuko.

Based on Miss Katsuko's state of mind just now, if her boyfriend really wanted to ask for a kiss, she would actually not refuse.
