Gu Weijing's pen tip jumped on the paper.
"The rectus abdominis is located from the pubic bone to the rib cartilage, that is, between the fifth and seventh muscles. Its function is to stretch the chest. The left muscle is slightly thicker than the right muscle and should be exercised. Problems caused by uneven force..."
"In the relaxed state, the bony spine and shoulder blade heads are hidden under the skin, but his arm is waving the banknotes, slightly contracted due to exertion and showing a depression, and the large bones supporting the forearm swing around the hinge of the elbow."
He murmured to himself, and the paintbrush in his hand was like a sharp scalpel, quickly cutting the man in the bat coat into pieces of flesh and bone.
This is a muscle in the torso.
These are the muscles in the limbs.
This is the line on the neck,
This is the proportion of a gloved knuckle.
…
Soon, a large pile of drawing paper appeared in Gu Weijing's hand.
In order to test the effect, Gu Weijing specially used wax paper.
The wax paper is translucent and can transmit light. Although the texture is not good and too smooth, after the painting is completed, it can be placed in front of the original painting for comparison. It is often used by children to cover picture books and copy.
Gu Weijing stacked the drawing papers together, placed them in front of the iPad screen, and compared them one by one with the characters in the photos.
The texture of each muscle can cleverly overlap the curves in the photo, and is sharper and clearer than the photo.
This is the advantage of painting over photography. Gu Weijing reconstructed the anatomy of the other person's body line, reaching the point where it is based on reality and detached from reality.
The only drawback is that there are many traces of modification in the picture, a big black mass erased by the eraser.
[Human Structure Anatomy] The equipment requirement for this knowledge card is Sketching Level 1, but Sketching Level 1 is only the most basic requirement.
Gu Weijing was not always able to draw the desired lines perfectly.
Sometimes what you are thinking is one thing, but when you actually express it, it has a completely different effect.
This is a typical situation where the brain knows it but the hands have not learned it, just like an old-fashioned inkjet printer with stuck gears.
Fortunately, Gu Weijing now has an overall impression of the muscular figure of this guy wearing a bat suit.
He was confident that if he could draw it again, whether it was zooming in or out, there would be no big problem.
All that's left is to wait for the skill to cool down. When the skill can be activated tomorrow, use colored pencils to draw a small-scale color illustration according to the proportions required by Heporion1077.
Gu Weijing put down his brush, stretched, and browsed Fiverr a few more times. After confirming that no suitable employer was looking for him to make an appointment, he shut down the computer.
He did not continue to stay in the studio to paint and practice sketching as usual.
Gu Weijing found that after reaching the professional level, he seemed to have encountered certain bottlenecks, especially in the expression of emotions.
It seems that adjusting your emotional state during the painting process is far more difficult than practicing your skills with a pen.
He obviously paid enough attention when he was painting, but it was a pity that the pointer on the mood panel kept wandering up and down "carelessly" while painting.
Gu Weijing had already emptied his mind and had no distractions. Unfortunately, his mood could not be improved by just sitting in front of the drawing board.
He wanted to incorporate his emotions into the painting, but found that he didn't even know what emotions he wanted to express.
This troubled Gu Weijing very much, and only when he activated [Menzel's Basic Painting Experience], the state of concentration allowed him to achieve the rating of [Simple Work].
But this is already the limit.
Emotions are like a child having a tantrum. You can't force it.
This is like a paradox. Every time Gu Weijing feels that he has entered a state while painting, he wants to take a look at the mood panel. But when he was thinking about this matter, the pointer on the panel would quickly return to zero in the center.
Maybe he was still wandering up and down [carelessly], but when he paid attention to his emotion meter, it suddenly became [perfunctory] again.
A painter strives to pursue the emotion of painting, just like a monkey looking for the moon in the sea. The more deliberately, the more he goes in the opposite direction.
On the contrary, sometimes when he was running in the morning, he saw the sun shining on the sparkling Yangon River, birds flying in the sky, and the cruise ship blowing its whistle.
This simple scenery moved his heart.
There were even a few short moments when the pointer on the panel reached the point of "feeling something", but it was only a few seconds and fleeting.
When Gu Weijing rushed home, picked up his drawing board and brushes and went to sketch by the river in Yangon, this feeling disappeared again.
With the reminder from the panel, Gu Weijing simply thought about it and planned to change his mood.
Among the several panels, the one I use least often is the panel for exchanging experience points and wealth.
First, his current income from selling paintings is not very high, and he cannot receive many orders on Fiverr.
To increase the exchange ratio by 100 experience points, good deeds worth $1,000 are required.
The same experience value can only be obtained by practicing sketching for a few days, or learning Chinese painting from Mr. Cao.
I am not a great painter whose time is much more valuable than money, and I can make millions every minute. This redemption panel doesn’t look like a good deal right now.
Secondly, after being tricked by Claire using water funds, he also had a better memory.
But now Gu Weijing is thinking further.
In the eyes of the system, this charity panel should not be as simple as exchanging wealth for experience points.
It tells Gu Weijing that art is not always about beauty, luxury, and various abstract aesthetic concepts.
In addition to painting portraits of big figures, recording the suffering of society is also a social mission of the artist.
"The Father" and "Trackers on the Volga" are such masterpieces.
The Russian Critical Realist School of Painting is a group of people who left the comfortable Academy of Fine Arts, departed from the amber Moscow palace, left the warm St. Petersburg, walked on the vast land of Siberia, and observed and recorded the difficult life of the serfs in Tsarist Russia. .
This is a peak of Russian art, and can almost be called the golden generation of Russian art along with Chernyshevsky, Leo Tolstoy, and Dostoyevsky, these giants in the history of literature.
Few art students of Gu Weijing's generation have the courage of their predecessors.
Art seems to have returned to the sound of hammers falling in the auction house.
Gu Weijing hoped that he could buy something and go to the orphanage after a while, walk around and take a look.
…
The next day, he completed the commissioned illustration of Batman. After already understanding the muscle lines and curves, he could draw it easily and it was a matter of course.
It may be his most satisfying painting recently.
After sending the scanned version, the other party did not ask him to revise the draft, but made other requests.
That Hyperion1077 is a really strange guest.
This kind of online illustration request does not require original manuscripts, only electronic versions.
After all, we are far away across the ocean, the postage is very expensive, and a painting only costs 10 US dollars, so the other party does not think that the original manuscript is very precious.
But this Hyperion1077 asked him to ship the paper version as well, and also use expedited air transportation.
To be honest, the shipping fee alone was more than the cost of one painting.
"What an odd guest."
Customer is God,
Anyway, I don’t offer free shipping.
Gu Weijing shrugged, and after repeatedly confirming that the other party would pay the freight, he made an appointment on his mobile phone for DHL Express' door-to-door pickup service.
As the illustration traveled across the ocean, he soon almost forgot about it.
