It was quite a simple thing.
It’s also quite a harmonious picture.
With Aiya's shout, the atmosphere seemed to suddenly become charming.
Ailan was so shocked that his whole body trembled subconsciously, and his head knocked forward.
"oops!"
His forehead seemed to hit something.
Immediately, the crimson faded from that spot, instantly covering the entire pretty face, and finally even the snow-white neck and delicate collarbone under the collar were red.
Li Shi has always been bold, but this time he couldn't help being shocked.
However, it was not Aya who was scared, but Ailan.
He quickly took a step to the right, turned sideways, turned around, looked at Aiya who was walking over, and said, "Are you awake?"
As he spoke, he quickly adjusted his emotions through breathing, but he did not want to stop the movement of his hands. His fingers slid across Ailan's two eyebrows and felt the brow bone.
Every time he touches the bones is a rare opportunity to deepen his foundation in artistic anthropology, which he cherishes very much.
Aya walked closer and secretly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the situation clearly. She thought her sister was eating while she was sleeping...
"I just got up to drink water, fell down, and—"
Ai Lan blushed and told her sister the situation.
By the time he finished speaking, Li Shi's fingers had reached down to her collarbone and he said softly: "Let's take a break first."
As he spoke, his fingers finally left the smooth skin, turned around and came to the workbench, sat down, took out his notebook, picked up a water-based pen from the pen holder, thought about it for a moment, and began to summarize and record: This woman The forehead mound is full, the eyebrow arch is round...
When Li Shi touches bones, he usually touches the bone points first and uses the bone points to establish the outline of the bones.
Then touch other bone locations to fill in the bone details.
By the way, he will also feel the texture of the model's skin and the elasticity of the muscles through touch to support and supplement the "surface" seen visually.
…
Over there, Li Shi carefully summarized the situation of the upper part of the bone. Here, Aiya was sitting on the sofa, close to Ai Lan, looking at the black down jacket on her body and said: "Jie, this is Brother Shi's Clothes? How do you..."
She always felt that something was wrong between her sister and Li Shi.
Ai Lan quickly explained: "Didn't I bump my foot? My leg was so numb that I couldn't move it. Brother Shi couldn't go to the room where we slept to get clothes, so he took his clothes and gave them to me to wear."
Aiya had just watched her interact with her body and knew that her leg should be fine by now, so she didn't ask. She rolled her eyes, glanced up at Li Shi, and asked softly in Ailan's ear: "Brother Shi just touched the bones." , how do you feel...?"
Ailan's ears suddenly turned red.
She was a little embarrassed to tell her true feelings, but the two sisters had never hidden anything from each other since they were young, so even though they were shy, they still...
She quickly turned her head and glanced at Li Shi, then lowered her voice: "It's quite comfortable... okay."
"ah?!"
However, Aiya couldn't help but raise her voice, which attracted Li Shi's sideways glance.
The two sisters fell silent immediately.
When Li Shi saw that nothing happened and was immersed in writing again, they continued to chat with each other.
Ailan patted Aiya's arm lightly: "Please keep your voice down... It's a little bit better than when you get a massage or spa, but it just... makes people blush."
Looking at her sister's watery eyes, Aya suddenly thought of something, and her eyes widened.
She knew that her sister was as sensitive as herself in some aspects.
They are twins after all.
The living room was very large, and the workbench on the balcony was seven or eight meters away from where they were sitting on the sofa. The voices they spoke together were deliberately kept low, and Li Shi was immersed in studying, so he didn't pay attention to the two of them. What did the sisters talk about.
When he finished the first half of the summary, stood up, and walked over to continue the second half of bone touching, he realized that the faces of the sisters were red and seemed to dare not look at him. He suddenly felt a little strange.
"What's wrong with you guys?"
Ai Lan quickly made an excuse: "Maybe the air conditioning temperature is too high."
They had previously turned on the standing air conditioner in the living room and set the temperature to 28 degrees.
Li Shi picked up the remote control on the coffee table and adjusted it down twice.
Then he said: "Xiaolan, let's continue."
The next bone touching starts from the feet.
The shape of Ailan's feet is pretty good-looking. The key is that both sisters have fair skin. Li Shi is like a doctor doing a physical examination, using touch and pressure to check her lower limbs.
From the toes to the ankles, then to the calves and knees, and finally the fingers go a little higher and reach part of the thighs.
Aya watched silently.
She didn't speak, just stared at Li Shi's hand silently, and then observed her sister's expression with inquiring eyes from time to time.
When those slender hands touched her knees, she found that her sister's lips seemed to be biting unconsciously. Aiya was stunned for a moment, and her breathing became a little more urgent.
Then there was something strange in my heart, and I couldn't help biting my red lower lip.
The whispered conversation she had with her sister flashed through her mind, and she thought of Zou Die inexplicably.
"When Brother Shi was touching Sister Die's bones, was she the same as Sister Die?"
Huh.
Aya suddenly trembled and realized that her thoughts were not good. She quickly shook her head and tried to get rid of all the inappropriate associations in her mind.
The bones of the legs are simpler than the brain, but Li Shi will not lower his requirements for learning because of simplicity. He touched it back and forth three times, carefully exploring the shape of each bone and the texture of each skin. Texture and elasticity, and finally took her hands away from her straight and fair legs.
While touching the bones, he tried for the first time to simulate the bones of the legs using imagination in his mind.
"This is a different kind of human body sketching."
Quickly walking to the workbench, Li Shi wrote summary and results in his notebook.
This time, he had already made a "first draft" of the bone physiology in his mind through imagination, so he summarized it very quickly. After writing for a few minutes, he returned to the sofa.
After communicating with Ai Lan, he asked her to pose on the sofa in a pose she felt comfortable with and started painting directly.
With this stroke of painting, Li Shi immediately felt the effect of touching the bones.
When dealing with the body shape, facial expressions, leg details, etc., he was more confident in his drawings because of the support of the bones.
There is almost no need to hesitate when writing, and the painting is very smooth from beginning to end.
It's just that the painting this time was more realistic and needed to depict more details. It took more than an hour to complete.
It may take more than an hour for other painters to take shape, but Li Shi is different.
Firstly, he was fully prepared and gestated before writing; secondly, his strong physical fitness gave him super fast and super stable hand speed. In the past, painting took a few minutes when it was fast, and only forty or fifty minutes when it was slow.
This painting lasted for more than an hour. Apart from copying famous Chinese paintings, it was the longest painting he had painted.
When Li Shi put down his pencil, charcoal and rag and announced that the painting was done, the two sisters immediately came over to take a look.
In the drawing, I saw a woman wearing a black coat and hood, sitting on the sofa, revealing a pair of beautiful white legs, and a mysterious smile that seemed to be absent at the corner of her mouth. She seemed to have a very special sense of mystery.
"Wow!"
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought I was looking at a photo... If I look carefully, it looks much better than the photo. Is there an indescribable feeling?"
Aya stared at the painting and sighed beside her. Unfortunately, she didn't read much, and her Chinese scores were poor when she was in school. She couldn't find the right words to describe and express it for a while.
Li Shi also stared at the painting, thought for a while, and said, "Do you feel that the woman in the painting is Ai Lan, but also a little unlike her? Like another Ai Lan living in a parallel world?"
Aiya nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
"Yes, it's this sense of time travel."
Li Shi said with a smile: "This is the difference between paintings and photos. If it is a photo, what is left in the photo is Ai Lan at the moment when the shutter is pressed, and the girl in this painting is Ai Lan in the eyes of the painter." Lan. This is different from the parallel world. The two are people from the same time and space."
This passage has a bit of a philosophical flavor.
The two sisters Ailan didn't hear it very clearly, but this did not prevent them from looking at Li Shi with admiration and even slight admiration.
"Brother Shi, I want it too!"
Aya was a little envious.
Li Shi took his phone and checked the time. It was already seven o'clock.
"Forget it, we have to leave for Langshan, wait until night."
The three of them washed up, changed clothes, cut off the water and electricity, then took their luggage downstairs, put their things in the car first, drove out of the basement, and went to a rice noodle shop not far from the community, where they took the two sisters to try it. After checking out Zhaoyang’s local specialty rice noodles, I got back in the car and drove west.
There was a gas station on the way to the expressway entrance. Li Shi drove in and filled up the gas tank before getting on the Shanghai-Kunming Expressway.
My sister Ailan was sitting in the passenger seat, and my sister Aiya was sitting in the back seat. She had a lively personality and sat directly in the middle. She leaned forward and kept chatting with the two about the upcoming journey.
"Langshan Mountain is probably the least famous 5a-level scenic spot in China. Many of us locals have never been there, such as me... Of course, it is also because it is next to Xiguang Province and away from Baoqing and Zhaoyang. The city is relatively far away.”
"It belongs to Danxia Karst mixed landform, so the mountains in the scenic area are very distinctive."
While driving, Li Shi introduced the information he had learned while checking the guide.
After driving for a while, when passing by the edge of Baoqing City, Li Shi asked the sisters if they wanted to go to the city. Seeing that they were not interested, he continued to drive forward, turning from Dashui Junction to Dongxin Expressway and Hubei Expressway. , and finally communicated down from Bajiaozhai.
The car entered the scenic spot and came to a beautiful village called Huangbei Village.
Soon, I found the booked "Sun Valley B&B" on the side of the road.
This is the most expensive B&B nearby, with only one building, one courtyard, and eight rooms. When the scenic spot was evaluated for grade, the experts from above lived here, so it was also called the "Expert Building".
Li Shi booked a double room and a twin room, both on the second floor with terraces.
Under the guidance of the housekeeper, we checked in and took our luggage to the room upstairs.
The room looked pretty good, with good decoration and hygiene. It was just a little damp because it was in the mountains, but the surroundings were quiet. The occasional sounds heard in my ears were the chirping of birds and insects.
People with insomnia should find it easier to fall asleep in such a place.
Li Shi put down his backpack, came to the terrace, and looked at the scenery outside: outside the yard was the road, in front was a large pond, across the interlaced rice fields on the water, and in the farthest distance, rolling mountains were vaguely visible.
“This is also a place where you can paint.”
Although he was traveling with his sisters this time, and the people might be more beautiful than the scenery in many cases, he would never forget his primary purpose: to sketch the scenery!
Considering that he was going to go hiking in the Bajiaozhai scenic spot in the afternoon, Li Shi went downstairs to find the housekeeper Xiao Yao and asked her to arrange lunch in advance.
"About how long will it take to eat?"
Xiao Yao is a girl in her twenties. She has a very good service attitude and always has a smile on her face: "The rice is already cooking in the kitchen, and the cooking is very fast. It can be eaten in half an hour."
Li Shi thought to himself that half an hour was enough for him to draw several sketches.
"Then please go upstairs and call us when the time comes."
After communicating with the housekeeper, he went back upstairs and knocked on the doors of sisters Ailan and Aiya first, wanting to talk to them.
It was Ai Lan who opened the door. She was holding her mobile phone. When she saw Li Shi outside the door, she immediately said excitedly: "Brother Shi, didn't I upload the photo of the first painting to Douyin yesterday? It has more than three thousand likes now." Got it!"
Li Shi was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Do you have many fans on your account?"
Ai Lan shook his head: "We used to post some videos when we were running a coffee shop, but we never accumulated many fans, just over 20,000."
“Usually when I post a piece of work, I only get a few hundred likes.”
Li Shi blinked. He often browses Douyin and knows that for an account with 20,000 fans, more than 3,000 likes for a video should be considered a lot.
He took the phone from Ai Lan and looked at it.
It’s just a simple photo with BGM video, with 3219 likes and 69 comments.
Li Shi clicked to comment.
The most popular comment was left by a netizen named "Fusheng Youmeng": A layman may only think that the person is beautiful, but an expert has already kneeled down! I can't draw this portrait even if I practice for ten years!
Like 58.
Li Shi smiled and continued to read.
Soon I saw someone commenting and asking: How long did this painting take?
Lanya (author) replied: About half an hour.
Li Shi saw that there was a hidden reply, so he stretched out his finger and clicked it.
"Are you bragging? This painting can be painted in half an hour?"
…
Li Shi raised his head and looked at Ai Lan, who was staring at his face: "Don't argue with netizens about comments about painting time. I do draw much faster than ordinary people."
Ai Lan and Li Shi looked at each other, their faces slightly red, and they nodded quickly: "Yes."
Li Shi returned the phone to her: "I ordered the food, and we went downstairs to eat half an hour later. After eating, we went to visit the Bajiao Village attractions."
"Yeah." Ailan responded again.
Li Shi returned to his room, took out his sketchbook from his bag, and drew two landscape sketches on the balcony.
Half an hour later, the housekeeper Xiao Yao knocked on the door and said it was time to eat, so he packed up and came out.
Before going downstairs, Aiya came out of the room in the corridor on the second floor and immediately came over, hugged his arm, and said one thing first:
"Brother Shi, many fans in the fan group of our Douyin account said that they want to watch the complete video of the painting."
I regret that I should have gone on a blind date yesterday. Why not stay at home and write, and earn more royalties? Wouldn't it be nice? There are still two days left for the double monthly pass. Please ask for the monthly pass again.
