God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 559

Taoist Xuanyang seriously explained: "The lion's minions are all sharp weapons, and they are a kind of evil in Feng Shui theory. Therefore, it is best not to expose the minions, let alone face the gate. Well, how should I put it, I ask This lion has a certain effect of attracting wealth while suppressing evil spirits, and its appearance can be majestic, but it should not be ferocious, and must put away the nature of that kind of beast."

Xu Jingxing quickly waved his hand, "I already understand your request, just say what needs to be adjusted, and I will make adjustments little by little until I draw the one that meets your requirements."

Xuan Yang scratched his head, "How does it feel like the police giving a portrait of a criminal suspect based on dictation?"

"It's a principle, okay? What's the difference between portraits of people and portraits of animals? Isn't it all about drawing an outline first, and then enriching the content little by little? Look, in fact, to sum it up, there are actually just a few types of human appearance, and if you eliminate one type by type, sooner or later you will find the type that best fits the archetype," he explained angrily.

But at this point, he said to Zhao Changfa: "Mr. Zhao, it is the same for us to do sculpture. To portray a cow, we must first find the characteristics of the cow, and then restore those characteristics to the work. The most important thing in this process is Look for the characteristics of a cow, such as a lying cow, its front legs must be kneeling and retracted, its body must be slightly bent inward, and when it stands up, its front legs must stand up first. Grasp it, and it is basically not too difficult to create a vivid cow."

Zhao Changfa nodded thoughtfully, "I kind of understand what you mean, but I haven't tried it. I've always followed the routine taught by my master. I didn't think about you at all. These characteristics and things like that."

"It's actually quite simple. Find an art teacher to teach you and you'll learn it in a few days." He joked with a smile, "Don't feel embarrassed. There are many graduates majoring in fine arts now. I can give you such a well-known woodcarver. In class, I don’t know how many people will rush to do it.”

Zhao Changfa smiled wryly and said, "Isn't it because I'm afraid that people will think I'm stupid? I haven't attended school for a day, and I didn't write my name until I was 30 years old. I worked night shift for a period of time and learned to look up the dictionary, so I was able to read and write, but in other aspects..."

"What's the matter with you, most of the old craftsmen of your age are the same as you except for those with family background, but don't many of them have the same high achievements?" He laughed: "I work in Kecheng When I was a child, I met an old craftsman who made purple clay pots, the situation is the same as yours, but he has been studying by himself and is very diligent, and now he is a provincial master of arts and crafts."

Zhao Changfa said with anticipation: "Provincial master of arts and crafts, isn't that an old and powerful craftsman?"

"If you only talk about technology, your craftsmanship is roughly on the same level as that person, but in terms of active creative ability, that person may be better than you," he said as tactfully as possible, but it still sounds a bit straightforward, especially It was impolite to say this from a young man like him, and to an old man like Zhao Changfa.

But Zhao Changfa admitted his shortcomings very sincerely: "You are too polite, I am not only inferior to others, but I have almost no ability to actively create. All these jobs I have done these years are all routine jobs. Alas, I am powerless."

Faced with Zhao Changfa's emotion, what can he say, what should be said is almost the same, can't he teach the old man hand in hand?So he smiled and said: "Come on slowly, your body is still very strong, and you have plenty of time to study," he said to Xuanyang Taoist priest: "Now I will adjust slowly, you keep an eye on it, and when you find the feeling, quickly shout stop."

Seeing Xuanyang Taoist nodding, he put away his smile and took a pencil to sketch, mainly to adjust the front paws of the lion. In just 2 minutes, he adjusted the posture and position of the two front paws. three times.

However, Taoist Xuanyang was still dissatisfied. No matter how he adjusted, Taoist Xuanyang shook his head, saying that he didn't feel that way.

no feelings?
He stopped writing and tried to recall the feeling he was looking for during the creation process. Up to now, he has been following the feeling of Taoist Xuanyang instead of his own feeling, so he really doesn't have a deep impression on this painting.

At this time, stop and feel carefully, and compare his cognition to lions, trying to find that kind of majestic feeling and aura, but the aura is really not easy to feel, much harder to find than the simple appearance .

To portray a lion, he can move the lion intact on paper or wood, but if he wants to add those mysterious aura, wildness, aura and other things to his works, he needs to experience and portray with his heart, and This is obviously not easy.What's more, he has never seen a live lion at all. When creating, he completely relies on his own imagination and the images recorded in books and audio-visual materials to describe it.

But obviously, without real life experience, it is really not very easy to describe, just like what he said to Zhao Changfa just now, only with life experience can you portray a more vivid and realistic image of the object, and it will be more interesting. Just rely on imagination, It's a lot of brain work, and it's easy to make mistakes, because some things can't be imagined.

However, his super memory saved him. He remembered that he accompanied his sister to watch a documentary on the African savannah, in which there were a lot of images related to lions, all of which were captured by high-definition cameras and were very clear.

Those images used to be dispensable to him, so who cares about what a lion looks like?

But now, those pictures saved him. He frowned and tried to recall those pictures in his memory, and then "played" them over and over again in his mind, looking for pictures that might be useful to him.Facts have proved that modern science and technology are also of extraordinary help to artistic creation. A scene related to lions in memory made him feel a little bit.

That is to say, with this kind of high-definition camera technology now, if he wanted to see lions 23 years ago, he could only go to the zoo, and the lions in the zoo are obviously not the same type of existence as the lions on the grassland. The temperament is too different. Yes, the aura is too bad.

Thanks for the development of science and technology.

He secretly exclaimed that he was lucky, and at the same time quickly erased the ones he drew before, and quickly added the picture he just thought of. This time he showed it to Taoist Xuanyang with confidence, "This will never be wrong again, right?"
