Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

Chapter 27, The First Art Exam, Promise
The invigilator distributes sketch paper.

The sketch test requires students to complete two sketches of a man using a mop within 20 minutes, showing different movements.

This test question was a bit difficult. Jiang Zhe thought about it for a while and lightly marked the dynamic lines of the character. Then he used smooth lines to complete the painting in one go, and then slightly adjusted the light and dark. The process of drawing the second action was smoother.

Chen Yan found it a bit difficult and could only follow Jiang Zhe's steps, trying her best to imitate him and finish on time.

The sketching test reveals the difference in level between candidates.

The proportions and dynamics of the characters drawn by many people are incorrect, and some even contain serious errors.

After the morning exam, the candidates needed to arrange their own lunch and return for the exam in the afternoon. They walked out of the exam room carrying their painting supplies and discussing the exam questions.

Chen Yan and Jiang Zhe walked side by side. "Your sketches and quick drawings are really good. I followed your sketches, but I couldn't keep up. The candidate on your left was also looking at your sketches."

Jiang Zhe had already discovered this. This kind of thing cannot be stopped, and there is always a gap between imitating on the spot.

"You draw very well, too. Don't think about it until after the exam."

Chen Yan returned the drawing board to Jiang Zhe: "Thank you, if it weren't for you, I would be miserable today. Is your home far away? Let's go to my house for dinner?"

Jiang Zhe said, "You're welcome. I'll go home for dinner."

"I'll find a chance to thank you." Chen Yan wanted to say something else, but she saw her mother waving at her in the crowd. Although she had developed a good impression of Jiang Zhe, she still felt shy when her mother saw her.

After saying see you in the afternoon to Jiang Zhe, he ran towards the crowd.

Jiang Zhe noticed Chen Yan's sudden change and also discovered the reason for the change.

A graceful middle-aged woman asked Chen Yan all kinds of questions.

Oops, you didn’t bring your drawing board. How are you going to take the exam?

"Mom, I'm fine. I borrowed a drawing board from a classmate."

"I just saw a boy coming out with you. Did he lend it to you? Were you in the same examination room? The boy was quite tall," the woman looked for the figure in the crowd.

Chen Yan hurriedly blocked her mother's sight: "They are just ordinary classmates, go home and eat."

When Jiang Zhe left the entrance of the examination center, he saw his parents waiting for him in the distance, so he had to walk over quickly.

I had advised them not to come, but they came anyway.

"How did you do in the exam?" Jiang Yi asked.

"Not bad, no problem."

Xu Li said, "Hurry back and eat. Take a break at noon."

They had a lot of questions they wanted to ask, but they were worried about affecting Jiang Zhe's mood, so they had to suppress their questions.

Because the studio is very close to the examination site, Jiang Zhe can eat leisurely and then take a short rest.

Before going to bed, review the tools you will be using that afternoon.

The studio space was not enough for three people to rest. Before Jiang Yi and his wife went home, they agreed with Jiang Zhe that they would call to remind them when the time came.

Jiang Zhe also set the alarm to wake up.

In fact, he woke up before the alarm clock woke him up.

In the afternoon, the candidates were still waiting outside the school gate to enter, repeating the previous process.

The process of entering the examination room went smoothly.

After entering the examination room, Jiang Zhe discovered that there were changes in the examination room. Each student could have two drawing stools.

This is much more convenient.

He sat on a painting stool, turned over the second painting stool to use as an easel, and stuck the drawing board between the four pillars. In this way, he could paint very comfortably.

The teacher hands out color test papers.

The test question is to write a set of gouache still life from memory.

Still life includes people in a light-colored jar. Warm-colored lining, flowers in the jar, and some fruits on the table. Detailed requirements for the fruits.

Jiang Zhe considered the color tone and started the draft directly with ultramarine pigment. This painting requires a warm tone as a whole. He felt that cold and warm need contrast to be reflected, not just adding warmth.

If you want to get a high score in the color painting test, you need to work hard on tone and composition.

Jiang Zhe already had a draft in mind. The background of the picture uses a lot of warm colors, and the side of the still life table that carries the object has a small amount of cold colors for contrast. The position of the still life table near the edge of the picture continues to use warm colors to form a layer of near, middle and far.

He chose to use a large shading pen to lay the tone, then switched to a large brush and began to depict the main objects.

He had heard about the previous art examination tendency of the Printing Academy. Therefore, he tried to use concise large brushstrokes to summarize the shape and color changes. This style of painting gives people a refreshing and carefree feeling.

Two hours later, Jiang Zhe successfully completed the color creation and took out a hair dryer to dry the painting.

In his previous life, he was neither prepared nor had the conditions he has now.

Nowadays, he not only has a hair dryer, but also deliberately adjusts the ratio of glue and water in the paint. He also always controls the rhythm of painting to ensure that the finished colors are bright and steady, and there is no problem of the paint not being able to dry for a long time.

How to ensure that the picture in the color test is dry is up to the candidates themselves.

If the painting is not dry yet and is about to be taken away, there is a high possibility that your painting will stick to someone else's painting.

Is it the result...?

About two minutes later, Jiang Zhe saw that the paint on the painting had dried and the paper had basically returned to its flat state.

Only one or two students brought hair dryers to the exam room. Many students could only watch with envy as Chen Yan borrowed Jiang Zhe's hair dryer.

Chen Yan used it until the end of the exam.

Jiang Zhe thought she might have done it on purpose.

He had seen Chen Yan's paintings. He could only say that the color relationship was very good, and the shape modeling was average, but it was estimated that it was still acceptable.

The candidates did not leave the examination room and continued to take the design exam.

During the design period, you only need to complete the design of one mascot.

Jiang Zhe took out a specially designed color palette.

The pigment inside is prepared in advance and is either of high purity or high-grade gray.

This method is to reduce the color adjustment process, save time, and is specifically used to prepare for art exams.

He first laid a layer of light gray transparent tone on the drawing paper, and used the time for the base to dry to think of the outline in his mind and start the draft immediately, and then finished it with transparent watercolors and markers.

The exam ended successfully.

When leaving the examination room, Jiang Zhe estimated that his score should be very high.

However, I am not sure whether I can enter the top ten. The art exam is not only about the picture effect, but also depends on the preferences of the examiner.

Chen Yan was very excited: "Jiang Zhe, I saw other people's paintings, and your score must be very high."

Jiang Zhe would not take such words seriously.

As he walked toward the school gate, he accidentally saw that some design test papers were being aired out by several invigilators because they were not completely dry. One of them was blown over by the wind and the picture lay on the ground. If the picture was smudged, then...

Therefore, various accidents will occur in art examinations.

Chen Yan sighed: "I don't know if I can get into the valid ranking."

Take the Printing College as an example. If 10 students are recruited, 1 certificates will be issued at a ratio of 8:80. However, among these 80 certificates, only the top 20 students will be able to register before the college entrance examination. This is the effective ranking.

Jiang Zhe comforted Chen Yan: "The first exam is just a test. There are not many experts in our exam room, so you don't have to worry."

He was about to say goodbye to Chen Yan: "I'm going to the training class tomorrow, how about you?"

Chen Yan held Jiang Zhe and said, "I still have an exam to take. I will go to the training class the day after tomorrow. By the way, remember to feed the puppy."
