Li Shi was grateful to Gu Shuting, the class monitor who had helped him in high school, and immediately replied: "I'm in Tanzhou today, but if you have something to do, class monitor, just let me know. I'll definitely be there to help." Don’t say goodbye.”
Gu Shuting: "Thank you! I remember that your grades in Chinese and history were very good in high school, and you majored in literature in college, right? So I would like to trouble you to read an article for me to see if there is anything that can be improved. The place."
Li Shi thought it was something.
With his level of Chinese (proficient in -), it would be childish to comment on articles written by ordinary people.
He immediately said: "Okay, come here."
Gu Shuting quickly sent a document over, and when she clicked it, it was titled - "A Brief Discussion on the Legal Issues in the "Empty Seal Case" in the Early Ming Dynasty", author: Gu Shuting.
"This is a paper related to history and law!"
Although Li Shi was good at history when he was studying, he didn't know much about the "empty seal case". He told Chen Qiuye and hung up the video.
Instead of rushing to read the article written by Gu Shuting, I first searched the Internet for the "empty seal case".
Blank sealing means stamping the document in advance and filling in the specific content when needed. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, local officials needed to go to Beijing to verify financial accounts at the end of the year. In order to save the trouble of refilling reports and running back and forth, and other reasons, they used blank documents on a large scale... When Zhu Yuanzhang found out, he was furious and executed many people...
"There is such a thing in history."
Li Shi became interested and kept searching for many details in this major historical case. Unknowingly, he forgot about Gu Shuting's article. It wasn't until she sent a message to ask that he suddenly came to his senses.
Looking at the time, it was already early morning.
"History is quite interesting. According to the plan, after learning sketching, the next learning direction will be 'knowledge'. I previously considered geography, but history can also be an alternative."
"However, whether you choose geography or history, you must subdivide the scope this time!"
Li Shi smiled and added "history" to his reference options for next time he studied. Then he opened Gu Shuting's article again and read it carefully.
…
After spending more than half an hour, Li Shi edited the comments and revisions and sent them to Gu Shuting.
Looking at the time again, it was not yet one o'clock in the morning, so I picked up the physical book "Advanced Sketching Tutorial: Nick Ledice Teaching Method" placed beside the bed and turned to the first page.
This book is an advanced book recommended by Gao Mei for his study. It is written by Kimonique Ledes, translated by Wang Yi, and published by Shanghai People's Fine Arts Publishing House.
The front page is printed with a photo of the author, and there is a sentence below: There is only one perfect and natural sketching method. It is not a technique, aesthetics or some kind of artistic concept. It only relies on an accurate observation. I mean the whole body. Engaged physical contact with the object of observation...
Li Shi was stunned after reading this sentence.
He immediately thought of his state when he was painting Wang Yuelan——
Different from painting other objects, scenery, and people, every time I paint Wang Yuelan, when I create the series "A Good Family Who Hides Sexiness" or "A Good Family Who Can't Hide Sexiness", my observation of her is obviously more intense than usual. fully get involved.
Even later, he couldn't help but make physical contact.
So far, I have physically touched hands, arms, collarbones, waist, plump thighs, straight calves, crystal clear feet...
"Once the basic skills have been improved, if you still can't draw well, it's because you haven't observed carefully enough, and you haven't had enough physical contact, and you haven't gone deep enough."
Li Shi thought seriously.
"Strengthen the learning of basic skills, and the most you can achieve is (proficiency +)."
"If you want to break through the proficiency level, you still have to rely on this most inspired series to achieve (mastery-)!"
He smiled and felt that he must put more energy into the creation of this series.
"After returning from Dongguang Province, I will go back to the county to complete the last thirty courses, strengthen the foundation, and strive to improve from the current (entry +) to (proficient-)."
"Then do a lot of sketching and improve to (proficient+)."
"Finally, focus on creating the 'Good Family Series' and break through to (Mastery -) in one fell swoop!"
Li Shi straightened his thoughts instantly, rubbed his hands, and his eyes became expectant.
Now that he has been learning sketching, he finally no longer studies with his head covered, and has a clear grasp of every progress in the future.
Motivated by his studies, Li Shi read the entire book from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m.
The book is very thick, with more than 190 pages. This time I only read through it roughly.
But it’s also very rewarding!
The sketching taught in this book is very different in concept from the sketching he learned before, and it contains a lot of targeted exercises.
Li Shi immediately decided not only to read it carefully again, but also to follow the many exercises in it!
"It's too late today, go to bed first."
Li Shi put down his book and lay down to sleep.
At six o'clock the next morning, although I only slept for three hours, I woke up feeling refreshed.
For him, whose physical attributes are now as high as 25.9, let alone three hours of sleep, even if he stays up all night for two consecutive nights, he will not feel depressed.
It's just that Li Shi, who has always paid attention to health care, will not stay up all night easily. No matter how late he studies, he will still sleep for three or four hours.
I had steamed buns for breakfast.
After eating, pack your things.
In addition to the two jade egg noodles, he also put a pencil case, a sketchbook, a few books and other things into his backpack, and then Li Shi asked Wang Yuelan to drive him to the high-speed rail station.
When he arrived at the underground garage of the station, he was not in a hurry to get out of the car. He smiled and said to the woman in the driver's seat: "Sister-in-law, you have a good rest at home during this time, but don't be idle all the time. Find some massage online." Learn from the instructional video, and when I come back, I will check whether your massage level has improved."
After saying that, he took his backpack and got out of the car.
Wang Yuelan looked at Li Shi's back and her face instantly turned red.
She understood what Li Shiqian meant. One was that she would continue to massage him in the future, and the other was that her massage skills were poor.
Driving back to Phoenix Bay, Wang Yuelan sat on the sofa in a daze for a while.
Looking at the empty living room, she suddenly felt very deserted. She picked up the phone and originally wanted to call Wu Yuan, but the phone number was called up, but she hesitated.
After a long time, she finally used her finger to exit the dial-up interface, clicked on the Bilibili app she had downloaded to learn how to cook, and searched for "massage teaching."
…
At 7:32, Li Shi got on the high-speed rail train G6007, came to the business class, found his seat and sat down.
First, I sent a WeChat message to Chen Qiuye on my mobile phone, then took out "Advanced Sketching Tutorial: Nick Ledice Teaching Method" and couldn't wait to read it.
"Chapter One, Silhouette and Posture."
"Correct observation. The first thing an art student has to do is to observe and study nature. The artist's work is not like a writer at the beginning. He must first go out to find raw materials. He must spend a lot of time in contact with actual things..."
After reading the beginning of the first chapter, Li Shi fell into deep thought.
After a while, he raised his head and looked around.
"observe……"
In the business class, the floor is covered with gray blankets, the walls and top of the car are off-white, and all the seats are also gray and white.
There are limited seats in the carriage and there are not many passengers. There is a girl sitting next to him. She looks very fashionable and looks like she is in her early twenties.
Li Shi didn't have time to observe carefully, and his eyes were attracted by the stewardess who walked into the carriage.
It's not that this young lady is wearing flesh-colored stockings on her straight legs, but the uniform she is wearing looks a bit like a flight attendant uniform at first glance.
This was the first time I saw Li Shi taking the high-speed rail so many times.
