Chapter 69 Self-Portrait

Chapter 69 Self-Portrait

On the way home from school at night, Lin Yuan summarized the newly acquired knowledge in his mind.

What he gained this time was professional-level painting skills.

But anyone who really understands painting knows that the so-called professional-level painting level is too general a description.

Just from the types of paintings, the types of paintings are already very complicated.

It includes different directions such as ink painting, oil painting, printmaking, watercolor painting, gouache painting, sketch and even sketch, etc.

It would be even more exaggerated if it is divided from the carrier utensils.

Therefore, we only divide the categories with the highest influence of Blue Star from the types of paintings.

These categories, ranked in order, are Chinese painting, oil painting, watercolor, gouache and sketch.

On the earth, the international status of oil painting is higher than that of traditional Chinese painting, but Blue Star is based on the oriental appreciation pattern, so Chinese painting is the highest, followed by oil painting.

Among them, the three categories of watercolor, gouache and sketch, because they are necessary items for the college entrance examination of art students, so the threshold is relatively not so high, and the public's appreciation level can also keep up.

In contrast, the threshold for traditional Chinese painting and oil painting is relatively high.

As for Lin Yuan's professional painting level...

It's not that Lin Yuan's professional-level painting level is too generalized by the system, but because Lin Yuan's professional-level painting level includes these popular types at the same time!

He now understands traditional Chinese painting, oil painting, gouache, watercolor, and sketching.

"Try the effect tonight."

Lin Yuan passed by a stationery store, his heart moved, and he walked in.

pigment……

drawing board...

brush……

drawing paper...

Professional painting is undoubtedly an extremely expensive thing. Lin Yuan just bought watercolor, gouache, and sketching materials, and he spent thousands of yuan in one go!

"I'll buy the materials for oil painting and ink painting later."

Lin Yuan planned to start practicing with relatively simple ones. After all, sketches, gouaches, and watercolors are more common in life.

After going out, Lin Yuan took a taxi.

There are too many things to buy, and one person can't carry them back at all.

Back home, Lin Yuan chose the balcony as a base for painting, first set up the drawing board, and then began to sharpen pencils——

He wants to try sketching first.

Ordinary art students need to copy some sketches, but Lin Yuan, a professional painter, does not need it. He can complete some sketches only with his impressions, and the first sketch in Lin Yuan's life is a self-portrait.

Many master sketchers have painted self-portraits.

However, more than one pencil is needed for sketching, because the lines produced by different pencil models are also different, so Lin Yuan sharpened more than a dozen pencils in one go——

The first is the more common 2b pencil.

This kind of pencil is relatively common in sketching. Lin Yuan used this kind of pencil to complete the big frame with three courtyards and five eyes.

But this is not certain.

Depending on the habits of different sketchers, some people will also use other types of pencils to draw frames.

After laying the frame, Lin Yuan began to paint.

The so-called sketching is actually outlining and filling on the basis of a large frame. Lin Yuan is not unfamiliar with his appearance, so whether it is the shape of the eyes or the wings of the nose, he can draw it very vividly.

"Smooth lines..."

Lines are one of the most important elements of sketching. Many people are not good at drawing sketches. In fact, they do not have a good grasp of lines. Lin Yuan can easily draw more than a dozen lines that look completely parallel, have the same thickness, and are of similar length. Absolutely can't do it to this extent.

Then there is light and shade.

The direction of the light determines the brightness and darkness.

Both gouache and sketch emphasize the expressive power of light and shade. The three-dimensional effect that people often say is determined by light and shade, but the basis of light and shade is still lines. The dense lines are arranged together to form the dark side of the sketch.

"call……"

Painting is a test of patience. After two hours of hard work, Lin Yuan finally completed this self-portrait!

This speed was achieved because Lin Yuan's level was high enough.

If you want to do your best to draw a sketch, even if you copy it, it takes a few hours to complete it.

The kind of dynamic pencil drawing completed within fifteen minutes to half an hour is called sketching.

Although sketching is also a kind of sketch, the level of detail is completely different from Lin Yuan's painting.

Standing up and taking two steps back, Lin Yuan carefully looked at his self-portrait, and nodded in satisfaction.

It is worthy of professional-level painting skills.

This self-portrait of Lin Yuan can be regarded as possessing both form and spirit. If you show it to others, you will definitely receive countless praises, because sketches are mostly intuitive and realistic paintings, and even people who don't know how to sketch can possess them. corresponding aesthetics.

"The painting is very similar!"

These four words are probably the basis for ordinary people to evaluate the quality of a sketch. Although it is a bit one-sided, this level is enough, because the factors of light, shade and lines of the image you want to draw have already been taken into account.

"Wash and sleep."

After confirming the level he could reach, Lin Yuan went to the bathroom to wash up. His hands were already a little dirty——

Dirty is the norm for painters.

This is just a sketch.

When Lin Yuan draws a sketch, he occasionally rubs some relatively dense lines with his thumb, which can make the line effect softer (toilet paper and the like can also achieve a similar effect)

If it is gouache or even oil painting, it will inevitably drip onto pants or clothes because it needs to be dipped in paint.

People with a cleanliness may not be able to stand it at all.

People who have written brush characters should understand this situation.

After washing, Lin Yuan lay on the bed and was about to close his eyes and go to sleep when the system suddenly appeared: "Congratulations to the host for completing the first painting in his life, and here is a task to achieve the goal of breaking 1,000 painting prestige within three months! "

"catch."

Lin Yuan said without hesitation.

Obviously, the system also knows that the reputation of painting is not an easy thing to obtain, so the goal set for Lin Yuan is very low, as long as he can reach 1,000 reputation points at the beginning.

[Task Name: The Path of the Painter]

[Task content: within three months, let the painting reputation exceed 1,000, the method is not limited]

[Task Rewards: One Silver Treasure Chest, One Bronze Treasure Chest]

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment. This task is obviously not particularly difficult, but the rewards are so generous, including a silver treasure chest. It seems that this task must be completed by himself!

"The system seemed to expect me to be fully developed."

After vaguely grasping the system's mission rules, Lin Yuan finally understood why this system is called "art system".

Painting, music, and literature are all important carriers of art.

"Tomorrow, let's see if there are any channels to gain reputation. In addition, I guess I have to learn electronic painting and professional-level painting skills. It shouldn't be difficult to combine technology."

The system gave Lin Yuan professional-level painting skills.

However, some paintings need to be done with electronic tools. The system did not give Lin Yuan the skills for this part, and Lin Yuan had to learn it by himself.

Sorry, I drank too much yesterday and had a splitting headache when I was sleeping...

What are the channels for painting to become famous? Let those who know how to do it popularize science.

Although Wu Bai is an art student, he has only learned gouache, sketch and watercolor, and only has a basic understanding of traditional Chinese painting and oil painting.
