Since deciding to find a long-term model to hone his painting skills, Li Shi has been considering candidates.
If you consider the people you know around you, the first choice is naturally Chen Qiuye. However, she has her own career to be busy with and spends most of her time in Yangcheng, which is really inconvenient.
After all, when creating something like this, it’s best to start writing as soon as inspiration strikes.
There are two candidates for second consideration, one is Wu Yuan and the other is Wang Yuelan.
Wu Yuan is a woman she knows well inside and out, and she also has photography experience to draw from.
However, past experience is a double-edged sword. As a newbie in painting, it is best to let it go first. Moreover, during this period of time, I was studying in the county, and Wu Yuan was in the provincial capital, so they were so far away after all.
Wang Yuelan is relatively better.
She spends time with herself day and night, and it is very convenient to observe models and draw at any time. In addition, her appearance and figure are also very outstanding, so there is no need to worry about being unable to stimulate her creative inspiration.
When she heard Li Shi calling her, Wang Yuelan, who had just taken a sip of crucian carp and tofu soup, raised her head and asked, "Teacher Li, what's wrong?"
As she said that, she lowered her head subconsciously and looked at the thick white soup in the bowl. She suddenly remembered the large amount of thick white soup in her dream the night before.
The fishy taste on the tip of the tongue seems to be there but not there.
Wild crucian carp has high nutritional value, but also has a strong earthy taste.
Wang Yuelan's pretty face suddenly turned red like a pink apple. Chen Qiuye was there before, so she could suppress herself from thinking wildly. Now that she and Li Shi were alone together, the scenes in her dream began to flow uncontrollably. jumped out.
Still extremely clear.
Whatever dreams you had before, you will forget when you wake up the next day.
What happened this time?
Li Shi looked at Wang Yuelan who was not in a good state and asked with concern: "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
"Ah, I'm fine."
Wang Yuelan was afraid that Li Shi would "find" something, so she quickly mustered up the courage to raise her head.
"Why is your face so red? You are not sick, are you?"
The sister-in-law with the rosy face is quite pretty.
Wang Yuelan was in a hurry and said: "No, no, the fish soup is a bit hot. By the way, what do you want to say to me?"
Li Shi didn't know that in just a short time, Wang Yuelan had tens of thousands of words of psychological activity in his inner world. He smiled and said: "That's it. I'm learning to paint now. I want to ask my sister-in-law to be a model for me. How about I paint you?"
Clang.
Wang Yuelan couldn't hold any of the chopsticks firmly, one fell on the table and the other fell to the ground.
Be a model and paint me?
this!
She immediately remembered the two shameful paintings Li Shi had painted for herself in her dream, and her face instantly became redder and redder, like a cooked crab.
Subconsciously: "No."
After Li Shiyuan finished speaking, he lowered his head to eat. After hearing this, he couldn't help but look up at her, wondering why she had such a big reaction.
I didn't feel anything about her direct rejection, but I was just a little regretful: "Okay, then I'll find someone else."
If you can't find acquaintances around you, you can also spend money to find one.
These days, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can find foreign models in minutes.
When she heard that Li Shi was looking for someone else, Wang Yuelan felt a little empty for no reason. She might not have noticed it herself. She was more afraid that Li Shi would be unhappy because of her rejection, so she hurriedly explained: "I didn't do it... I don't understand this. I’m afraid I’ll delay you, Teacher Li.”
She originally wanted to say that she had never been a painting model, but suddenly she remembered that she had actually been one.
Although it's in a dream.
Li Shi didn't like to force others. He smiled and comforted: "Sister-in-law, there is no need to explain, it's okay."
After eating, he went to the study room, picked up his tablet, turned it on, clicked on the browser, and searched for "looking for models."
Soon I found a person in a forum who specialized in recruiting people into the group, and added him on WeChat using a small account.
After passing, the other party quickly sent a message: "Boss, we have two types of general groups and high-quality groups. The groups are full of models and agents. It depends on what needs you have, whether you are looking for a graphic model or a follow-up group." Group actors, etiquette models, etc. However, our business is not limited to regions, except Beijing, Shanghai, etc., it can be done all over the country."
"Be in the group first. If you don't send a red envelope within five minutes after joining the group, you will be kicked out."
"Buy one and get one free now. After sending out the red envelope, I will add you to another group."
Several screenshots were sent shortly afterwards.
Li Shi took a look. The picture showed groups of models from various regions, many in rows.
Thinking about his needs, he replied: "I want to join the high-quality group here in Nanhu."
"OK, wait."
Soon, the other party sent out a group invitation. Li Shi clicked and joined the "Nanhu High-quality Model Announcement Group (Advertising Banned)".
The group was very lively, with photographers sending out recruitment information and agents handing out model cards.
Li Shi sent a red envelope to the person who organized the group, and then the other party sent another invitation to the group.
Still click to join.
He checked the chat history and followed what others had done, and posted a recruitment announcement in the group: (Baoqing Announcement) We need a long-term cooperation (about three to five times) painting model, with a height of more than 1.6 meters and a good appearance. Jiao is very elegant and needs to wear different clothes to paint without being exposed. If you are interested, please send me your information privately to make a quotation. Thanks.
As soon as this message was sent out, his WeChat account immediately received more than thirty friend requests.
Li Shi took a closer look. Most of them were agents, and a small number were models themselves.
All selections were approved, and soon he received a bunch of model information. He quickly found a local girl in Baoqing who he felt was pretty good.
The other party's stage name is "White Rabbit". He is 24 years old, 166cm tall, 45kg in weight, and his measurements are 83-87-60. He has been a graphic model for three years and has four experiences as a painting model.
Judging from the photos in the profile, this girl has good facial features, but the details depend on her bare makeup.
He asked: "Miss, can you send me a photo without makeup?"
White Rabbit: "Of course. Let me look for it. By the way, what kind of painting are you painting? How many people are there?"
Li Shi: "I am the only one who draws the sketch."
White Rabbit: "Sketch, this is my first time taking on the task of sketching a model."
She seemed a little surprised.
Since Li Shi chose to learn sketching, she has often learned about this industry online. She is not surprised by her surprise. She knows that there are very few good-looking models in this industry, and most of them are older or have distinctive looks.
There are two main reasons. One is that young people cannot sit still, and the other is that good-looking models are expensive. People who draw sketches cannot compare financially with those who engage in photography.
Moreover, if you are into photography, even if you don’t have money to hire someone, you can still help each other and encourage each other.
Li Shi was communicating with the model named Bai Rabbit, who had already sent her a photo without makeup. Just as he was about to take a closer look, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the study.
He stood up, went over to open the door, and saw a hesitant Wang Yuelan standing outside the door.
"Teacher Li, how about I... give it a try?"
