Li Chenghuan's grandfather is named Li Dongjiang. He retired last year and naturally lived a leisurely life.
The impression left on him by his grandfather in his previous life was that of an old grandfather who always loved to cry. He couldn't remember much about his childhood. After all, it was all painful. But as he got older, his grandfather left more impressions. Every time he saw himself, he wiped away tears before saying a few words.
For the old man, seeing his biological grandson suffer such a disaster is more heartbreaking than those disasters befalling him.
Li Chenghuan remembered that in his previous life, his grandfather's hair had turned white and he looked older than his peers.
But this life is different. Not only does he have less gray hair, but he also has a strong body. He likes to go fishing, play chess with the old men downstairs, or practice calligraphy.
After his grandfather and grandmother retired, his father and mother left him at their grandparents' house and took care of him for a while, so that they could free up time to do some things of their own.
It was during that time that Li Chenghuan realized that his memory talent was far more limited than imagined, and he also developed another talent.
Drawing and calligraphy talent!
At that time, my grandfather liked to write calligraphy with calligraphy, and Li Chenghuan stood aside and watched. He thought it was a very beautiful thing, especially the soft tip of the calligraphy brush that moved in the old man's hand, becoming soft or hard. , either vigorous and powerful, or graceful and graceful, very beautiful.
Watching other people write can kill hours without even realizing it.
Although Li Dongjiang didn't speak when he was writing, he was observing his little grandson all the time. As he wrote, he became more and more amazed.
So patient!
It's not that I haven't seen children before.
At his age, most of his friends are old men with grandchildren. Whenever he visits their homes, those flying boys always leave a deep impression on him... Of course, most of them are naughty ones.
As an old man, he will naturally not be as familiar with some children, but if he encounters them more often, he will probably form some inherent impressions.
It's not that there are no quiet children, but it's rare to see children as patient as my grandson.
Li Dongjiang asked Li Chenghuan: "Chenghuan, do you like calligraphy?"
Li Chenghuan nodded.
Li Dongjiang said: "Then grandpa will teach you."
Li Chenghuan was very excited.
But then something even more surprising happened.
Li Dongjiang only taught Li Chenghuan how to hold a pen, how to sit, how to adjust the ink density, some basic things, and then let him write and draw casually to familiarize himself with the brushstrokes.
Unexpectedly, Li Chenghuan played with the pen for a while and then began to write what he had just written on the rice paper.
Initially, Li Dongjiang didn't care much, but when Li Chenghuan wrote a few words in succession, the old man's eyes widened.
Overall, of course, he is still very immature, but Li Chenghuan's order of writing, the key positions of the frame structure, and some small details such as back strokes and pauses that only those who have written calligraphy know, can be reproduced by this kid. !
People who write calligraphy for the first time are most likely to be extremely ugly, but although the calligraphy written by Li Chenghuan is not beautiful, after all, he can't control the soft hair on the tip of the pen, it already has some shape!
The shape here refers to the interframe structure!
As long as the frame structure is not bad, the words will not be difficult to see.
Li Chenghuan didn't know how many waves his ugly calligraphy had caused in the old man's heart. He just felt that writing calligraphy was not as difficult as he imagined.
His trick is simple, imitation.
If he just looked at the ready-made calligraphy, he wouldn't be able to imitate it, but he actually watched the process of his grandfather's writing, and kept replaying his writing process in his mind, where to pause the pen, where to stop, and the connection... …
Then try to copy the animation in your memory.
His memory has become a bit scary now. If he memorizes something deliberately, he can remember it firmly as long as he repeats it many times.
Then, Li Chenghuan suddenly realized something.
If it’s not difficult to write in this way, then it shouldn’t be difficult to draw too!
He was too lazy to get in touch with it before because he believed that he had no talent for painting, but suddenly at that moment, he realized something.
No, I have talent!
This talent is...memory!
When he realized this, he threw down his pen and ink with some excitement and went to get a pencil and white paper. The grandfather who was already in a daze looked at him for a while, wondering what happened to his grandson.
Li Chenghuan recalled how his father drew and began to draw on paper...
Soon, a sketched apple slowly appeared.
If there are art students here, they will definitely be a little surprised, because although the light and shade of Li Chenghuan's sketch of the apple is very problematic, and the quality of the line drawing is not high, it is all a matter of basic skills, but the wiring of this apple I already have a feel for the layout, sequence, and perspective structure.
If you add that this is the first time he officially draws an apple, it can only be described in two words.
genius.
At this moment, Li Chenghuan fully understood and reached more conclusions.
Whether it is painting or calligraphy, the so-called talent is the same as sports. It is not a single perspective, but multi-dimensional, such as strength, agility, coordination, nerve reaction speed, and so on.
The talents of painting and calligraphy should be divided into at least two types!
One is the talent of copying, and the other is the talent of creation!
It is easy to understand the talent of copying. His father often commented on some students, saying that they have strong imitation ability, make rapid progress, and copy very well, but when they draw from life, they stretch their hips. This means that they do not take the initiative to deal with it and draw whatever they see. the result of.
But this is undoubtedly a talent!
But this kind of talent is actually a "pseudo talent". The real talent for painting should be the ability to perceive shapes, light and darkness, and color in the bones, and the ability to balance various complex language relationships and graphic relationships...that is, creative talent.
Of course, both talents require a lot of practice to transform into skill.
There is no doubt that Li Chenghuan has no creative talent, but he realizes that he has a strong ability to imitate!
For a time, his interest in painting and calligraphy reached its peak.
What happened later became very simple. In a few years, he learned writing from his grandfather and sketching from his father, and made rapid progress.
Of course, he just imitated blindly, but he imitated to a high level, at least among ordinary people, he was very capable of bluffing people.
He is not looking for amazing achievements on these roads, he just wants to experience these fun.
When he arrived at his grandfather's house, he had already prepared pens, inks, paper and inkstones for him.
He is going to participate in the calligraphy competition tomorrow, and Li Chenghuan plans to practice again today.
Li Chenghuan wrote quietly, and Li Dongjiang looked at him for a while, becoming more and more satisfied. He was indeed his great grandson!
He felt proud and asked that old boy, Lao Zhao, to see who was more powerful, his granddaughter who had studied in a training class in the provincial capital for several years or his grandson who had been trained at home!
