God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 558 Visualization
Xu Jingxing shook his head helplessly when he heard Taoist Xuanyang's excited shout, "Are you sure?"

Xuanyang Taoist nodded excitedly, "I'm sure, let's leave it alone, don't change it!"

"That's fine, the shape is settled for the time being, and I will continue to refine the details," he said, ignoring the excited Taoist Xuanyang who couldn't restrain himself, and began to outline it on the paper seriously.The filling of details seems cumbersome, but in fact the difficulty is much simpler than that of the concave shape. The shape is the frame, and the details are the flesh and blood.

Frames, on the other hand, are created entirely out of thin air.

Of course, it may be inaccurate to say that creation out of thin air is inaccurate. Most artistic creations are inseparable from the influence of reality, and they are all processed and created based on reality. Artistic processing is still similar to creating out of thin air.

Just look at the birth of this lion. Except for the appearance of a lion, everything else was created according to the imagination of Taoist Xuanming.

In other words, it is not an exaggeration to say that the artistic creation process is created out of thin air.

Even the filling of details, which seem to require little creativity and imagination, is actually not as simple as it seems, because for the process of artistic creation, details can even determine success or failure.A work of art, if there is a little flaw in the details, the quality and value will be greatly reduced.

So he is still very cautious.

But even so, with his ability, he completed all the details in half an hour, even including simple rendering effects.The rendering effect sounds complicated and high-end, but it is actually a coloring process that makes objects on paper more realistic.

If it is a real lion, the rendered color should be more realistic and closer to the lion itself; but what he rendered was a wood-carved lion, and he wanted the effect of a nanmu carving, so he strengthened the light and shadow effect when rendering , and added a little mirror effect, although the effect rendered with a monochrome pencil is not very good, but it is enough to see the appearance of the finished product.

And this kind of effect is the most realistic effect, because the wood carving itself is monochromatic, at most the texture of the wood itself is added, and there is no other color other than that. If it is particularly bright and beautiful, then On the contrary, it is unreal. After all, it is impossible for wood carvings to be as vivid as wax figures.

Natural materials such as wood, jade, stone, etc., have a natural disadvantage compared with artificially prepared materials in terms of the authenticity of the color tone. What color is born with it is what color the carving is. Although it can be dyed, it can be dyed. will destroy the natural beauty of these materials.

Therefore, when appreciating those works of art made of natural materials, we must learn to appreciate the natural beauty, learn to appreciate the combination of natural beauty and artificial beauty, instead of being demanding and harsh, asking why jade is not colorful, and asking wood Why is the texture of the stone so soft? Why is the structure of the stone so thick...

In the final analysis, in fact, these natural materials have certain limitations. We cannot require a wood carving work to be as realistic as it is in reality. That is impossible, right?
So when he was rendering, he rendered it according to the wood carving works, and did not rely on the real lion at all, so the rendering effect looked more realistic, and people could know it was a wood carving lion at a glance. People can understand the effect of this wooden lion through this rendering.

And this is exactly what Taoist Xuanyang wants to see. If someone gives him a computer-rendered rendering that is as beautiful and realistic as a photo of a lion, he will eliminate the other party without even thinking about it.These days, can computer renderings be trusted?Just like the beauties who have been photoshopped, there is no credibility at all. If you don’t believe it, ask those friends who bought a house by looking at the renderings and you will understand a truth-don’t trust the renderings made by computers.

But the hand-painted renderings have a lot of weight. If such an effect can be drawn by hand, then it should also be able to achieve this level of engraving by hand.

Well, here's the layman's idea.

But Taoist Xuanyang is a layman. He doesn't know the difference between painting and carving, but he just thinks that they are all done by hand. If you can draw this effect, you can also carve it.So when he saw the effect picture, he jumped three feet high excitedly, "That's it, Master Xiao Xu, just this, follow this picture, as long as this effect can be achieved, no, even if it is only [-]% of the effect, I'm very satisfied."

Xu Jingxing chuckled, "Don't just look at the rendered effect, you have to convert this picture into a real object in your mind and place it where it should be placed, and then think about whether that effect is what you want. , That's right, if the imagined effect is still different from what you want, then let's continue to adjust, oh, it's imagination, it's actually what you call visualization, don't tell me that you, a Taoist priest, don't know what is Visualize."

Visualization is actually quite easy to understand. It is to imagine a picture in your mind to continuously strengthen it. In this process, you can exercise your brain power and spiritual power. It is said that it can improve your attention and thinking response ability, such as It is said that De Gea, the popular main goalkeeper of the Premier League team Manchester United, will add training such as meditation to training.

It is said to be meditation, but it is actually visualization, imagining in my mind that I am saving all kinds of difficult incoming balls, and repeating this, when I really encounter such an incoming ball, my body will instinctively make the most correct response.

Not only modern sports have this kind of training method, but also in ancient times, there is a similar training method in Xingyiquan, which requires fighters to visualize a powerful enemy in their minds, and use what they have learned to fight as much as possible For that enemy, after a long time, these actual combat skills visualized in his mind will become his instinct, thereby enhancing his real combat effectiveness.

As for Taoism, some sects also have similar methods. For example, in the White Lotus Sect, there are many legendary methods that are cultivated through visualization techniques.

So when he said this, Xuanyang Taoist immediately understood, smiled, stared at the lion on the paper for more than ten minutes, then slowly closed his eyes, and sat there motionless as if in a trance, After a few minutes, he opened his eyes, patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, Master Xiao Xu reminded me in time. I tried to imagine it just now, and found that this front paw still needs to be adjusted."
