Cartoonist's Dream

(You'll have to frighten me when I endorse you!) Teacher Zhang said solemnly: "Recite."

Ahhhhhhh, Li Mu picked up the mineral water bottle on purpose, took a sip of plain water to clear his throat, and then began to recite——

"

"Wood, master!" Ma Yingshao gave a thumbs up from behind.

Throwing a look to Lu Wei who was looking at Limu slightly sideways, she took the other hand and stretched out a thumb, hooked the fingers together with both hands, and whispered like the people in the TV series: "Sister-in-law , get married."

Lu Wei naturally withdrew her gaze and raised her body, snorting a little.

"Okay, sit down, don't you know that you can't be proud even if you study well?" Teacher Zhang asked Li Mu to sit down, and by the way, cast a glance at Ma Yingshao, making him sit up straight in silence.

"Understood, teacher." Seeing that the teacher was almost venting, Li Mu replied respectfully.

He stopped fiddling with textbooks after he sat down.

Instead, take out a pencil and a picture book for elementary school students and draw there?

omg!

Teacher Zhang is helpless.

He simply pretended not to see it, took three Chinese lessons in a row, and never troubled Li Mu again.

Li Mu is also happy to be disturbed, and can complete her "novice experience task" with peace of mind.However, due to the lack of tools and materials, Limu is not confident that he can draw acceptable pencil sketches.

The picture book for elementary school students is darker than 4 paper, showing a little dark yellow in the white, which is not special drawing paper for painting. This small thing is usually sold in stationery stores, and it is also very cheap. The scientific name is picture book.

As for pencils, there are only lacquered green 2b pencils in the pear wood pencil case, the familiar Zhonghua brand, this memorable brand has been with him for most of his life.

Children especially like to bite pencils, especially when they are hungry and when their teeth are developing. At this time, teachers and parents will always come out to scare people, claiming: pencils are full of lead, and biting the pencil tip will make you stupid!Limu, who often comes into contact with pencils and can't help biting them, struggled with this curse for several years, fearing that he would become demented one day.

I didn't know until I read a popular science book about 9 whys that pencils are actually made of graphite and clay.The more graphite and less clay, the darker and softer the pencil; the more graphite and the less clay, the stronger and lighter the pencil.Therefore, the dark pencils used for drawing belong to the b-9b series, and the light-colored pencils are the h-[-]h series.

Flexible exchange of various pencils can make the drawing more vivid.

There is such an artist in Limu's cognition, he is called pullun, his household registration is in Hong Kong, he can create magical works with 05mm pencil and 2 paper.He doesn't use an eraser, and each work takes about 60 hours, which is equivalent to three days and two nights. The sketches he draws are as real as black and white photos!

Limu, who thinks he can't do this, can only look up to the college students who set up stalls on the overpass.I used to chat with them occasionally when I came home from work, and I learned that most of them are art school students, and their family background is similar to my own when I was a child, but they cannot afford the high art expenses.In order to buy not so bad paints and drawing paper, they had to use a small pencil to set up a stall on the bridge.He charges ten yuan for a sketch, and five yuan for an art signature. He seems to be a profiteer who makes money from his own business, but he is actually a college student with artistic dreams.

It costs a lot of money to become a master artist.

Li Mu's goal is not an art master, and certainly not a pencil sketch master like pullun, he is just an ordinary elementary school student.Even the eraser is "Great Wall Brand-Advanced Drawing Eraser", that is, the kind of long rectangular white eraser that smells a little fragrant and has a good wiping effect. [

In fact, the special eraser for sketching is a kind of special soft eraser.It has no specific shape, just like clay, so the painter can press the sketch eraser into any shape at will, so as to facilitate his own painting of certain details.

The special eraser for sketching can wipe the handwriting on the drawing paper because it can stick away the graphite attached to the drawing paper, while the ordinary eraser will cause damage to the drawing paper.Saving money on erasers is not worth the cost of expensive drawing paper.You can't cut off a corner of the sketch eraser and use it again. It will only get darker with use, and you have to replace it soon.

At the same time, the sketch eraser can also be used as a tone adjustment tool.Gently press on the dark area, the sketch eraser will only stick part of the color away, but will not completely wipe away the color.Pressing with a clean part several times will achieve the effect of a normal eraser.

The final process of sketching is to spray protective paint.After the sketch is completed, the colors on the screen will not be completely fixed on the drawing paper. It is even worse for people like Limu who use a drawing book to paint. The papers in the drawing book will rub against each other, making the work black and dark into a mess.

Even if it is made of drawing paper, it cannot be rolled up or stacked together. It can only be stored separately under the photo frame and mirror.

For this reason, protective varnish came into being. It can fix the color on the painting. The main raw material is mixed with turpentine mixed with alcohol and other solvents, which can protect the paper surface and make it less susceptible to contamination.However, it is harmful to the human respiratory tract when spraying, so it is best to spray glue outdoors, with hands extended and people staying away, and it is best to wear a mask.

For painters who have not made a fortune, buying protective paint is a nightmare, because the price of protective paint is too high!Painters generally don't use it if it's just for practice and painting to sell.

A Zhonghua brand 2b pencil, a Lianchangcheng brand eraser, a leaky pencil sharpener, and a picture book, these four painting treasures are Limu's tools.

"Less painting and less correction, one horizontal and one vertical, the pen moves with the arm, and it is done in one go!"

Based on his experience in pencil sketching, Limu took three full lessons before he found the feeling of drawing sketches.

Pencil sketching, the most basic and most important thing is to draw lines. Before learning any sketching skills, it is to learn to draw straight and horizontal lines.Li Mu had already passed that boring and boring time, but later he was thankful that he had practiced horizontal and straight lines, which made his later studies very easy.

Although his body has shrunk and his arms are not as strong as before, he quickly found the feeling with a good foundation.In a short period of time, from drawing cubes, spheres, and cylinders, to achieving crossover, juxtaposition, virtual reality, and gradient effects, he gained the confidence to draw people in the fourth lesson.

Unlike Mr. Zhang in the Chinese class, Mr. Liu in the math class is a male teacher. He is not responsible for Class [-] of the second year, and he is not very strict in managing Limu and the others.When he saw Li Mu painting in class, he just reminded him, and then he didn't remind Li Mu again when he saw that Li Mu didn't intend to attend the class.After all, Li Mu's mathematics is pretty good, and he is not worried that Li Mu will drag down his teaching evaluation.

Although I don't know how other elementary schools arrange classes, Nanjiang Elementary School where Limu is located has five classes in the morning, and today's fourth and fifth classes are math classes.

Li Mu was not satisfied with the works he drew this morning, and he always put them together and received them in the textbook during class break.In every short 10 minutes, many students passed by him to inquire about his medical treatment.Whenever he heard them call his name, Limu always felt troubled. Some classmates who were familiar before were like strangers to him now.However, on the surface, Li Mu still acted very calm and gentle, fearing that these children whose intuition is more sensitive than adults would find out that he was their "old friend whom they hadn't seen for decades".

"Is the body alright?"

Well, not too bad.

"It was really good in class just now, recite it backwards, recite it backwards!"

You can also do it by heart, just like reading the whole book backwards in front of your eyes.

"But, it really is still very powerful, so handsome."

But if you treat the teacher badly, life will be very difficult in the future.

"That's it, you dare to blame Teacher Zhang, you are miserable~"

They are right most of the time.

Ever since he started working, his speech has gradually become more tactful, instead of directly pointing out right and wrong, using the majority or the minority to describe it, Limu feels that he has also begun to become cunning.

"Did you watch "Pokemon" yesterday? Flying Mantis is so handsome!"

I think the evolved type is more handsome.

"Does the Flying Mantis evolve? I haven't heard of it."

There's none?That's because I remembered wrongly. It probably evolved after it was baked.

"I wish I had a flying mantis."

Iron nematodes are parasitic in the stomachs of praying mantises. For such a large mantis, the iron nematodes must be at least three meters long.

"Uh, forget it. The wind speed dog is better. I only have a dog at home. I don't know when it will be able to breathe fire."

Well, a little subtle.

Li Mu chatted with them about the "Yesterday" TV show. There is childlike innocence, but most of them are unnutritious topics.The conversation made him want to drop out of school, but his mother would definitely not allow it, and dropping out of school to draw manga would also hurt his parents' hearts.

After being reborn, Li Mu began to extravagantly pursue two ideals, one is to become the world's number one cartoonist, and the other is to let his parents and wife live a comfortable life.

Yet having a child drop out of school is probably the last thing parents want.On the contrary, if the child can go home with a stack of test papers full of 100 points, the result will definitely make the parents happy and make them more face in front of relatives and friends.Parents straighten their backs when they talk to others, and they speak more on their own. They are in good health, eat well, and live a long and healthy life naturally.

So Li Mu couldn't give up his studies, but painting at the same time had a bad influence, and it was difficult to have both, which really entangled him.

Let's find a way to skip a grade and finish school as soon as possible.

There are still tasks to be done, and drawing still needs to be practiced. If it affects the class, it will only take a month and a half. Teacher, please bear with it for now...

Once you get serious, the five classes in the morning will be over soon, and the students happily ushered in the lunch break.

During the lunch break, the students have over two hours to rest and all go home to sleep.Most of the first and second grades are picked up by someone, and the middle and upper grades usually go home in small groups. Very few elementary school students ride their bicycles to school by themselves. After all, Nanjiang Primary School does not have a dedicated parking lot.

Lu Wei still kept in mind the awkwardness in the morning and did not talk to Li Mu, but leaving school is no better than going to school, and there are many people who walk the same way after school.At least four or five people were able to walk to the entrance of the village with Limu, and Limu was in the limelight, and Lu Wei failed to dig any corners and had to go home alone.

Of course, Li Mu couldn't let the dangerous situation of sister-in-law go home alone happen.

She seemed less angry after forcibly pulling her into the gang?
