Master Profile George Berryman was born in the nineteenth century. He is the world's most famous and authoritative anatomical painter.
He taught anatomy at the University of the Arts in New York for nearly half a century. His students included Will Eisner, the godfather of American comics, and Norman Locke, the legendary illustrator who influenced tens of millions of people during World War II. Will et al. Berryman's creative inventions used a range of life drawing techniques.
Remarks The paintbrush is a scalpel that dissects the soul, and sometimes the body.
"Human Anatomy"
During the long Middle Ages, there were three types of people who would risk being burned on the rack to steal corpses for dissection and study.
Madmen, doctors and painters.
Human body painting has been the most important category of painting since its birth.
From the twisted sacrificial Nuo dances engraved on the walls of tomb chambers in ancient Neolithic relics, to the divine sun gods and pharaohs who will be resurrected from the dead recorded on the stone slabs of the ancient Egyptian pyramids. From the majestic and noble portraits of feudal emperors to today's comics that sell tens of millions of copies.
Characters are the eternal theme of painting.
Imagine if you were a medieval painter.
At that time, it was generally believed that everyone’s leg bones had a natural curvature, that men had one more rib than women, and that everyone had an immortal bone that was used for resurrection in religious legends.
In that century that was firmly controlled by the ecclesiastical power, this was not a fairy tale, but an objective fact that water could be drunk and birds could fly.
When you are drawing, don’t you think it’s weird that you specifically erase the symmetrical rib lines of a man?
When you imagine that unique hard resurrection bone in your pen, you firmly believe that you really When you see it, won't you be a little confused
Even if not,
Don't you want to know how the bulging muscles of the warrior hold up the robe when he swings the sword? The lady lowered her head When covering the face, how should the graceful arc of the collarbone be accurately outlined?
How can one truly draw a person to his best?
Practice repeatedly and invite models to come. Watch it at home, or actually dissect a corpse.
In the era when the church ruled the world, the structure and lines of the human body were hailed as the secrets given by God to mankind. They should not be explored casually. Stealing autopsies was a crime worthy of being burned on the rack.
But this obviously cannot stop people from pursuing the truth.
In the thick smoke that enveloped the continent from those pine fire racks, countless innocent souls perished as a result.
In the centuries following the Renaissance, anatomical drawings have always been the intersection of art and science. Countless doctors took drawings in front of their sketch pads.Pens, and countless painters have taken scalpels in the morgue.
Historical records show that the reason why Leonardo da Vinci was able to depict moving arcs and precise muscle lines in oil paintings was not only due to his study of various anatomical diagrams that were gradually circulating in the world at that time. , and personally dissected at least thirty corpses. Some believe that he had cooperated with the local medical school. Many scholars believe that Leonardo da Vinci, like many of his predecessors, also privately engaged in tomb robbing.
Coincidentally, it seems to be a source of incomprehension with anatomy.
It has the same status as the Mona Lisa, the most famous legendary oil painting in human history that has been visited by hundreds of millions of people in the Louvre. It is also the author of Rembrandt, one of the three most famous paintings in the world. A lot of time was spent in the dissecting room.
Rembrandt’s famous work is even an oil painting called Professor Dupu’s Anatomy Lesson, which is now in the Morris Royal Painting Gallery in The Hague.
Gu Weijing felt that all kinds of information were washing through the memory area of his brain, and various pictures of human muscles and corresponding painting techniques poured into his mind.
These drawings and lines quickly merged into an adult body in my consciousness.
In his mind, it stretches, turns, combines muscles and Achilles tendons, trembles slightly in the chest muscles, and countless small muscles themselves lengthen, shorten, expand, form smaller wedges or form with each other. Larger, sturdier chunks come together to form a variety of shapes.
The Mojie Notes that have been obtained are more textual descriptions. The specific pigments still need to be tried by Gu Weijing himself. The impact when obtained is obviously not as good as this anatomical diagram. set.
Gu Weijing closed the panel and raised his head.
Almost subconsciously, as he moved, the muscles affected by the movement of raising his head and back came to his mind, as well as the corresponding drawing methods.
“The sternocleidomastoid muscle contracts bilaterally, the manubrium of the sternum and the medial end of the clavicle contract, and ends at the mastoid process of the temporal bone. The brush should pay attention to the shadow of the clavicle to highlight the muscle stretch and make the picture full of volume. Reflecting the width and thickness of the muscles. The erector spinae muscles come from behind the sacrum."
A series of complex muscle transformations emerged in his mind. Gu Weijing had never thought that this subconscious movement of raising his head would be like this. vivid image.
He even felt that if deeper topics such as the internal organs of the human body were not involved, some medical students who had just entered university would not be familiar with them in terms of their familiarity with muscles and skin fat.
Actually, Gu Weijing knew it.
It is only in modern times that the professions of sketch painters, illustrators, anatomy doctors, and forensic doctors have been separated from each other.
In many medical schools with centuries of history, sketching has been a required course for medical students.
At that time, there was no invention like a camera that could quickly record the surgical scene. Even in modern times, the early daguerreotype cameras had to be photographed for more than ten hours or more.Even if it lasts for dozens of hours without moving, the person taking the picture may have to sit motionless for several afternoons before it can be developed and imaged.
If it lasts for such a long time in hot weather, the corpse might be all smelly, so you must have good sketching skills.
Not just doctors.
Scientists and naturalists in the natural sciences all require a good sketch. Darwin relied on a pencil to record the anatomical specimens of various animals around the world in his notebook.
In order to pursue the ultimate precision of lines, painters would also study anatomy for excellence. This tradition continued until the Victorian era.
Considering issues such as medical ethics, it was not until the 20th century that anatomy became a compulsory course for artists.
Mr. Berryman is the master of the last few generations to master that science and technology.
At the same time, the Philadelphia Medical College was still open to painters to study and observe anatomy. Similarly, the painter and physician Eakins, whose knowledge of musculature allowed him to paint the tense muscles in his famous work The Wrestler, is more detailed and clearer than the wrestler's face.
This exaggerated performance of vitality was almost unsurpassed by anyone until later.
Gu Weijing felt that compared to Mojie's Notes, which was more like various painting tips, Berryman's Human Anatomy should be more useful for his painting career.
At least, he has easily mastered the secrets of human body muscle lines that many painters have spent their entire lives studying.
Gu Weijing uploaded the painted colored pencil head of the kitten to the computer using a high-precision scanner available in the calligraphy and painting shop, and submitted it to the housewife. The order was completed.
Then he pulled down the remaining unread messages, most of which were of little value.
Gu Weijing looked at it for a while.
Overseas websites are like this, with a lot of spam.
Anyone who wants to add friends on Telegram’s foreign encrypted communication software is most likely a scammer selling virtual currency, so delete them directly.
Someone who claims to be a jewelry merchant wants to chat with me and wants to see the other person’s big treasure, he will be deleted, blocked, and reported for sexual harassment in one step.
The concept of professional jeeer jewelers is similar to the small advertisements posted on the streets of East and Xia in the early years for rich women from Hong Kong and Taiwan to spend a lot of money to ask for a child.
A group of old white male losers between the ages of 20 and 35 claim to be wealthy widowed jewelers on fivver, Twitter, and various pen pal chat software. If they chat with each other casually, the other party will make an appointment. Indeed, many little girls and boys who don’t understand are fooled by requests for beeps or large-scale videos.
After screening for a long time, there was only one person who wanted to let him paint a building. The order was worth a look. The pattern he gave me was very complicated with light and shadow. The painting to be painted might take several days, and the price was not high. .
Just when Gu Weijing chatted with the other party for a few words and hesitated whether to take the order.
fiThere happened to be a new message on verr.
