"So, who do you think the detective cat is?"
Last night, Gu Weijing processed the news until the early hours of the morning, and didn't get up until lunch today.
At the dinner table,
As expected, Gu Weijing heard that the focus of discussion among his family members at the dinner table was also the new video on Mr. Hyperion's channel.
The art world is so big,
Any news is like having legs and runs very fast.
It’s just that most of the news discussed at the dinner table was that a professor from the Academy of Fine Arts had cheated on him again, his wife went to work to make trouble again, or whether a local painter’s new work was expected to exceed 10,000 US dollars. The threshold for an international low-end painter.
Now that such shocking new news has come out, everyone is naturally talking about it.
"The sketches in his hands are beautiful."
Mr. Gu Tongxiang took a sip of soup and looked at the wall-mounted TV hanging on the wall of the restaurant.
Their home is an Internet TV, which allows them to watch streaming media such as Netflix and Disney. Naturally, they can also watch new videos that are trending on YouTube.
In the video at this time, the camera happened to be showing a close-up of the work of the mysterious painter Detective Cat.
"Tsk, tsk, look at this brush. Look at these muscle lines, tsk"
Old man Gu Tongxiang knocked on the table, "As a scripture, look at this person, he has a solid foundation in art. . Not even a little bit better than you. You, the sketch of the model is good, but there is still a long way to go compared to other masters."
Gu Weijing looked up at his own. Grandpa glance.
""
Don't look at it. Mr. Tongxiang has been painting conscientiously all his life.
But his level is indeed far behind that of great painters like Kazunari Sakai.
This aspect is due to the local art environment in Yangon. On the other hand, Gu Tongxiang's talent is indeed limited.
The old man is a typical mediocre person in Anna's words. He can find excellence, but it is difficult to distinguish the gap between excellence and excellence.
Furthermore, Mr. Gu Tongxiang is a typical oriental old man. The education of his children has always been based on strict requirements and supplemented by encouragement. He is afraid that his children will be proud and complacent and waste their time.
"Why are you not convinced?"
Gu Tongxiang accurately captured the strange expression on his grandson's face.
"It's okay, actually I think my painting is pretty good too. This Detective Cat was just an ordinary internet illustrator before he became famous." Gu Weijing shrugged.
"You kid, it's true."
The old man, like all parents who see other people's award-winning children, gave a sincere and sincere education, "You said Detective Cat is just an ordinary Internet illustrator. , can you receive praise from the judges of a professional oil painting magazine that is almost as good as Master Jane Arnold?"
"You can't, you don't have the ability."
"No. Talk about being comparable to Master Jane ArnoldWell, if you can appear in an oil painting magazine before the age of thirty-five, I can rest in peace. ”
Mr. Gu Tongxiang is very upset because he has been painting all his life but has not been able to appear in the buyer’s recommendation guide of any well-known art magazine.
It is not necessarily because of his fame. The international market for calligraphy and painting is too low.
In the eyes of other magazines, the old man’s paintings are mediocre and he is old.
He was born in a remote art desert. >
This kind of painter really doesn’t have any investment advice to write about.
It’s okay to buy it if you see it right, but don’t even think about it.
"Art, to put it bluntly, is done stroke by stroke. When you see someone becoming famous, don’t be jealous or envious. People can draw well, but I don’t know how much hard work has been done behind the scenes. It’s just a matter of practicing calligraphy. Even if you practice drawing thousands or tens of thousands of sketches, you will be able to do this. What I fear the most is not being able to admit that I am not as good as others, and being arrogant and complacent after being praised by others. ”
“How much do you think this Detective Cat can sell for a painting now?”
My aunt, who is an accountant, is obviously more concerned about financial figures at the moment, and her painting skills are comparable to those of the masters. , it also needs to be recognized by the market.
In terms of recognition and background value in the art circle, Detective Cat is completely different from Van Dorn and Jane Arnold.
One or two excellent works may not determine the market, and as the judges said, this is just an Internet celebrity competition after all. The prices of those high-end illustrations are relatively high, and the main thing is fame and gimmicks.
Menzel, the master of sketches, left nearly 10,000 sketches.
Some of the works that are actually circulating in the market are not well preserved and can be bought for a few thousand dollars. .
Ordinary high-quality colored pencil drawings or sketches are the preliminary works in the general Sotheby's or Christie's art auctions, and the starting price is usually only one thousand US dollars.
Illustrations are at the bottom of the painting contempt chain, and colored pencil drawings are not high on the illustration chain.
The painting cited by the judge in the video only relies on superb brushwork. , the Indian illustration Fairy in the Forest was sold for US$580,000 at the Himalayan Art Exhibition.
Sorry, this is a serious medium-sized oil painting.
"It's hard to say. After all, illustration is the type of art that is most influenced by traffic. Fame is equal to money. Although he was unknown in the art circle before, but with just this video, if there is another agency marketing for that detective cat, his net worth It is not difficult to easily double it a hundred times. "
The uncle thought for a while and made a rough estimate.
"It's a lot of money. To draw an oil painting, if you are slower, it would be enough to draw a hundred pencil drawings. It was such good luck to suddenly move from an illustrator at the bottom of the industry to a wealthy class. "
Uncle sighed.
"It is indeed good luck, but it is also unfortunate.What a pity. With such good skills, he made his debut selling illustrations on the Internet. Although this detective cat is famous, his artistic limit is only there. Ten Dollar Web Illustrator, this label is a good thing and a bad thing. "
The old man patted Gu Weijing on the shoulder.
"Our family is not short of money to support you in school. If you are short of pocket money, tell grandpa. What I want you to learn is other people’s sketching skills, not the act of selling animation illustrations online. Your artistic future is bright now, but don’t be like a detective and make money by selling paintings online. Our family is counting on you to become famous and have a family in the future. If you have the skills of a detective cat, you will be fine.
But you don’t. With your current level, selling paintings online will easily ruin your future brand. "
The old man reminded earnestly.
"Uh, okay. ”
Gu Weijing silently put down his job.
He knew what his father meant.
His ideal is to become a great painter, not Great cartoonist, the difference between the two is huge.
If it weren’t for the money to increase my painting experience, it would definitely not be the pocket money my grandpa mentioned.
I wouldn’t have thought of it. Selling animation illustrations on the Internet
It’s not that he looks down on illustrators.
It’s just that illustrators are very particular about their circles.
The illustrators’ works will be objective. It greatly dilutes the market value of a person's future prospects.
For example, although there are hundreds of Leonardo da Vinci's works in the world, they are excluded from art museums and become heirlooms in the hands of private collectors. < /p>
There are only 8 works that have actually circulated in the market.
No one can say that Leonardo da Vinci’s sketches are better than Menzel’s sketches.
But two sketches the size of playing cards can be sold for 10 million pounds, which is still 10 million pounds in the millennium.
This is an objective law of economics. .
The reason why objective laws are objective laws is that they are valid in any industry, even in a perceptual field like art.
In a word, it is purely utilitarian. If you click.
If Leonardo da Vinci had tens of thousands of works circulating in the market and there were more than a dozen special auctions every year, no matter how good his paintings were, they would not be worth so much money. .
And painters are not gods floating in the sky, they also have human feelings. What we pay attention to is a network of people.
Why is the teacher so important? >Because we are brothers, seniors and colleagues in the same gallery, we naturally prefer to complement each other.
Not only Asian and European and American galleries, especially the British who are very particular about blood, also pay great attention to this. There are many undercurrents in various workplaces.
The background of cheap online painters can be compared to the scientific world, which is civilian science. At best, it is the same as the scientific research dogs from second-rate schools in the Academy of Sciences.
It’s difficult to evaluate a full professorDifficult, go on, unless you are really good
For a painter, being regarded as an illustrator by others is the same as being regarded as a niche by others in the entertainment industry.
In the eyes of some people, your upper limit is locked.
DiCaprio’s acting skills are so good. It’s just because he made his debut as a little boy that he is not favored by the judges and has been running for Oscars for so many years.
There are unspoken rules in the art world. Painting works with serious themes is like playing classical music, while painting illustrations is like being a pop singer singing a saliva song.
Even if each of your albums is platinum, it is difficult to welcome the latter to the Golden Hall in Vienna.
No one has an answer to this question: Is illustration a type of art, or is it just a taxi driver hired by an employer?
But it is a reality that almost none of the big painters at the top of the artist rich list have a background in drawing popular themes such as comics and illustrations.
Pop singers make a lot of money, but illustrations cannot fetch high prices at all.
Mr. Jian Arnold is already a giant in the illustration world, and his social influence is no less than that of Mr. Cao.
That Miss Elena’s evaluation is still that “spending one million dollars to book a manuscript is not a wise investment.”
The ceiling in the illustration world is also illustration, and the upper limit is there.
Needless to say Mr. Cao, the paintings of any of Mr. Cao’s current disciples are more expensive than the paintings of Mr. Jane Arnold.
This is the contempt chain of painting.
It doesn’t matter to a young artist. No matter how low the drawing board is, cats and dogs can’t even touch it.
Whether it is Cao Xuan or Jian Arnold, in the eyes of most people in this world, they are characters who have come to the end of the world.
The identity of an online painter is naturally beneficial to Gu Weijing in the short term, but in the long run, when he really enters the art market, it may be a double-edged sword.
Taking orders online is one thing, but it’s best not to let others associate you too much with yourself.
"What are you going to do?"
Mr. Gu asked strangely.
"Oh, I went to the gallery to pick out my drawing and saw the master level of Detective Cat. I felt that my work was not enough to be displayed in the gallery."
"Well, it is a good thing to have a humble heart in front of the master, not bad."
Old man Gu Tongxiang praised. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
