If I am not a Confucian saint, I will set off a revolution

Chapter 90 The Color of Painting

"What do you think...manga is the most important thing?"

Lin Ke naturally accepted this disciple.

If a random person came, of course Lin Ke would not accept him.

But it was Wu Daozi who came, how could he not accept it?

From now on, these apprentices will compare with each other, so can he walk sideways as a master?

"Comics, Tuer thinks that the most important thing is the introduction of the picture." Wu Daozi mentioned one of the characteristics of comics.

But that's just one of them.

"Yes, and no." Lin Ke smiled: "I'm asking you about the characteristics of manga, not the characteristics of manga drawing techniques."

Wu Daozi immediately showed a puzzled expression: "I would like to hear the details."

"How about this, Wu Daozi." Lin Ke pointed at them: "You follow me to my house, how about building a small house next to my house?"

The yard Qi Shangshu gave him was small, but it was enough to build another small house.

Building a house in this era doesn’t require so many approvals and procedures, and there are no such things as shared area, apartment area, and actual building area.

As long as you have a stamped land deed, you can even get an Oriental Pearl on it, let alone add a small house.

"This...is it really possible?"

Wu Daozi didn't know what he had been through, and now he seemed to be alone.

To put it bluntly, although Lin Ke is from a lowly background, he is now famous and has quite a reputation.

Not only has a reputation, but also a family property, and even showed a decent background a few days ago.

And what about Wu Daozi?
To put it mildly, call it a student.

To put it bluntly, students are hard to support themselves, and they may not be promising in the future. At the same time, their hearts are higher than the sky, and their hands are like chicken feet.

The beggar can also say a few nice words.

As soon as the students open their mouths, it is their own future.

Even if Lin Ke gave money to beggars, it was better than taking students indiscriminately.

However, Lin Ke still accepted Wu Daozi.

Wu Daozi didn't know that Lin Ke knew his fame in his previous life.

All he knew was that Lin Ke at this time had a great reputation.

Therefore, Wu Daozi is very grateful!

Moreover, although there are many feelings between master and apprentice, the relationship is almost equivalent to that of father and son.

But now Lin Ke is willing to let Wu Daozi live next to him and teach him carefully.

This kind of appreciation, this kind of kindness...

"Master, I will live up to your expectations!" Wu Daozi stood up and bowed to Lin Ke solemnly.

"Huh?" Lin Ke was a little confused, with a "what happened" expression on his face.

He just asked Wu Daozi to live next to his house, and by the way, he could take turns guarding the door with Ning Caichen, the plum blossom tree spirit.

Why is Wu Daozi so excited?

"It's nothing, master, let's go." Wu Daozi smiled.

"Okay." Lin Ke nodded, and then gave Wu Daozi the cat's ears and cat's tail in his hand: "By the way, disciple, you take this thing. Starting tomorrow, you will sell comics for the teacher during the day, and practice drawing at night." painting."

"what?"

"By the way, if you have time, you can also draw more manga, just as practice."

"Crack."

"Hey, Tuer, did you hear that something was broken?"

"It's nothing, master, it's just a pure and young heart of this disciple."

"Oh, that's really all right, young people break a little more things, and when your integrity is broken, then you will be a teacher."

"Crack."

"You listen to disciples, how pleasant it is."

……

Back in the yard, he helped Wu Daozi make a floor in the room, and Lin Ke began to tell him about the comics.

"Comics should be viewed from two perspectives, one is the artist and the other is the reader."

"Before I said that what you said was right or wrong, it came from here."

"Cartoon is a painting that directly reveals the essence and characteristics of things with exaggeration, metaphor, symbolism and other expressive techniques and concise brushwork."

"It is not limited by time and space, and is easy to create. It has strong functions of irony, praise, lyricism, entertainment, etc. It is good at expressing the painter's views on world affairs and human conditions, especially good at irony and humor."

Lin Ke and Wu Daozi sat under the moon, next to Ning Caichen who was cleaning and eavesdropping, and the rustling plum tree.

"From a painter's point of view, the most important thing is expression."

"Whether it's a simple picture, a special style, a rich scene, etc., it's just the artist's means of expression."

"Expression requires understanding and clarity."

"This is also one of the advantages of comics, that is, people without any writing or artistic skills can understand what happens in comics."

"So, from the reader's point of view, the most important thing is one thing, the look and feel."

"Look and feel is composed of multiple elements such as plot, picture, personality style, etc. Therefore, a good comic must first have a plot, and then form its own style in the style of painting, to be considered outstanding..."

Lin Ke sat on the small bench, and Wu Daozi listened intently in front of him, writing down the contents verbatim.

At the same time, Wu Daozi was deeply shocked.

A completely different painting style!
It really is a completely different way of painting!

For a long time, the painting methods he has been in contact with are such complicated techniques, how to hide deep meaning in ink and wash, and so on.

I never thought that a picture can also be drawn in the way of children's graffiti, with simple hard pens.

And the pictures drawn, such as the pictures in the previous comics "Doraemon Cat" and "Pokémon", even feel more realistic than ink paintings.

This opened a door in Wu Daozi's heart.

"And, this is only part of it." Lin Ke smiled: "Have you ever thought about adding color?"

"Color?" Wu Daozi wondered, "But blue, red, yellow, white and black?"

"No." Link shook his head.

The colors of ancient Chinese paintings are divided into five colors, which are blue, red, yellow, white and black, corresponding to wood, fire, earth, metal and water in the five elements.

These traditional cultures affect people's use of color in painting.

Landscape painting pays attention to color setting, that is, to arrange colors. According to the needs of the picture, subjectively arrange colors, and colors are mainly decorative colors.

Instead of realistic paintings, sketches, etc. like in the West.

Western pigments were formed later, but have been developing.

There were only eight types of paints in the Renaissance period, and they were expensive, so they were not suitable for color sketching. Therefore, the sketches at that time were mostly sketches, and the oil paintings were mainly based on the relationship between sketches.

However, the research on pigments has been going on, especially after the industrial revolution, many new pigments have been born, and the pigments have been enriched, making it possible to paint natural landscapes in color.

And this is also one of Lin Ke's big killers.

The competition between him and Qi Ye is mainly divided into three categories of "Civil and Military Miscellaneous".

Miscellaneous, compared to painting!

As for the title of the painting, Lin Ke would not decide on Fengshui paintings, figure paintings and the like.

The topic he wanted to set... was color!
