Saint-Exupéry's painting skills are actually quite average, and the watercolor illustrations in the original text are at the level of elementary school students' simple drawings.
If there is anything special.
It may be that this French writer created a set of beautiful simple drawings of primary school students.
Don’t underestimate “good-looking”, this is a simple evaluation.
For ordinary people and amateurs who have not experienced professional training, it is not difficult to draw things for their own entertainment. But from the perspective of art, it is almost impossible to take a closer look.
There are even fewer good-looking works that can meet the standards of commercial invitations.
To be honest,
Saint-Exupéry’s original illustrations have received a good response from the market over the years, and some readers really like these illustrations.
In addition to the natural subjective bonus brought by the original author's handwriting,
Based on the level of painting skills of an amateur painter, the performance of the final finished product is also not as good as It’s not too bad, it even has an innocent feel to it, like a child’s drawing.
The main characters of each illustration are composed of very sparse lines, and the backgrounds are often extremely simple curves. Combined into the picture, it looks very comfortable.
Gu Weijing did not understand why this method of using brushes that did not comply with art standards could achieve such an artistic effect.
Now he somewhat understands it
The secret lies in composition.
Although the original author's painting skills are mediocre, the artistic conception is very interesting and has a wild imagination.
Art learning attaches great importance to drawing inferences from one example and drawing inferences by analogy.
Today collector Chen Shenglin gave me guidance on composition. Gu Weijing gained a lot and gained some understanding of the structure of the painting.
He discovered that
Sometimes, composition does not necessarily have to stick to certain normative art theories. Instead, it can be more adaptable to local conditions, be flexible and incorporate your own understanding. achieve better results.
No one has a deeper understanding of the work than the original author.
Amateurs like Saint-Exupéry lacked theoretical constraints.
When designing the picture structure, it is completely based on natural imagination, and it may be easier to break out of the stereotypes of traditional craftsmanship than professional painters.
Just like Chen Shenglin, who has not held a paintbrush for many years, the oil painting compositions he designed are more energetic and lively than the works he painted strictly according to the triangular pyramid composition method. .
After designing the drafts of the works that I will participate in the art exhibition, I looked back at these illustrations and found that the proportions of the little prince's pictures were very interesting.
These illustrations often include large blank spaces and exaggerated proportions.
Not professional,
The shape is simple, but the composition is quite Zen-like.
Compared to his less than excellent painting skills, this composition is the essence of Saint-Exupéry’s art and the emotional portrayal of his works..
If it were not limited by the original artist’s limited painting skills after he started writing, the look and feel of these works would definitely be even better.
“Interesting.”
After discovering this, Gu Weijing decided to basically retain the general structure of the original work of The Little Prince, while at the same time making detailed fine-tuning to better suit the visual proportions.
After all, there are specialties in the art industry.
Saint-Exupery was not a professional painter. Although the composition is imaginative, it is still a bit rough in many places.
It is obvious that the structure can be optimized, and Gu Weijing does not necessarily have to follow the script.
Combined with Gu Weijing’s completed pen sketch.
Soon, he had a mature idea in his mind and picked up the oil painting knife again.
Time flows slowly.
When the moon reached its zenith, a row of illustrations had been completed in front of Gu Weijing.
He put the palette aside and looked at his work.
The title of the work: The Little Prince and the Lonely King
Painting techniques: legendary level of painting with a knife
Emotions and feelings
The title of the work: Little Prince The Prince's Garden with Roses in Bloom
Painting Technique: Painting with Knife Painting at the Legendary Level
Emotional and Heartfelt
Title of the Work: The Little Prince, The Chaotic Drunkard
< p>A dozen drawings waiting to dry almost occupy an entire wall.The painting method with the oil painting knife is so fast. As long as you have a clear idea, it only takes a few hours to finish so many illustrations.
Not surprisingly, the emotional rating of each picture reaches a level that makes people feel deeply.
This is the most beautiful set of illustrations Gu Weijing has ever drawn.
"Mr. Sloth, I have finished drawing a new batch of illustrations and will send them to you."
Gu Weijing scanned these illustrations one by one into electronic versions and sent them to own agent.
He was very satisfied with these paintings.
Both the technique and emotion have reached the limit of what I have mastered, and the composition is in line with the true intention of the original author.
The lonely and arrogant king, the rose full of fantasy and longing to be loved, the drunkard who indulges in alcohol all day long in order to forget the pain
The picture is bright but not vulgar, and the lines are gorgeous and elegant. Not frivolous.
Compared with the first illustration he sent to Mr. Sloth, in addition to being visually intuitive and beautiful, it also has a more three-dimensional feel.
The beauty of this set of illustrations is no longer simply stunning, but has a richer temperament.
This mysterious feeling is difficult to explain directly in words.
After injecting emotion, the characters in the picture became vivid in an instant. They were no longer just a two-dimensional oil painting, but seemed to have a living soul injected into it.
This is the highest pursuit of illustration, the so-called sense of communication.
Art can speak for itself.
The paintings in front of me have a direct and natural sense of communication with the audience, without the aid of additional words. The illustrations themselves seem to be telling something.
Clumsy and childish, the dream is psychedelic.
"Well, okay, let me download it first." Mr. Sloth motioned to Gu Weijing to wait.
Just a few minutes later.
There was an additional message on Gu Weijing’s cell phone.
"Sendid is magnificent and outstanding"
After a while, Mr. Sloth probably thought that this word was not enough to describe the excellence of this set of illustrations, so he added.
"In my eyes, these paintings are simply sparkling."
"Thanks for your help." Thanked Gu Weijing.
"No, it should be thank you for giving me an opportunity to participate in these works. I can no longer evaluate them based on pure excellence."
Mr. Sloth's tone between the lines was a little bit move.
"Saint-Exupéry said that the stars shine so that everyone can find their own star one day."
Mr. Sloth is very poetic. "As a long-time fan of The Little Prince, I see that countless readers will find their own stars in these shining and bright works."
"Thank you, Ms. Detective Cat, I Love them. This is a set of illustrations that create classic magic.”
Myanmar and the UK are separated by half a day’s time zone.
When Gu Weijing paints at night, the European headquarters building of Schostic Group on London’s Financial Street is still brightly lit during evening office hours.
"In the 31st round of the Premier League, West Ham United and Manchester City started a tie-break match at Upton Park Stadium"
The fat assistant was wearing headphones and saw that no one was paying attention around him. He secretly called up the Sky Sports football broadcast on the screen and leaned lazily on the chair.
Helping leaders do "bad things" may be an easier way to build closer relationships than flattering others.
Since he secretly reviewed the draft of the illustrator Detective Cat under the instruction of the president, his status in the project team has changed significantly.
This can be regarded as handing in the certificate of investment.
From now on, he will be President Osborne's person.
Perhaps a big boss like the group president is too far away to look down on a fat guy like him.
But the project manager of the little prince in the office, who is also Osborne's younger brother, has been obviously much more amiable to him this week.
The office door was pushed open.
A proofreading editor rushed into the collective office of the project team with a sweaty face and a lot of Starbucks coffee.
The Fat Assistant paused the live broadcast of the event.
He snapped his fingers to instruct the other party to put his portion of coffee on the table, then comfortably took out a donut from his briefcase and gnawed on it.
Fat AssistantHe burped contentedly.
Nowadays, not only can I go to work and do some fishing, but my supervisor also assigns all the daily tasks of running errands upstairs and downstairs to a proofreading editor.
These things are not big in themselves, but they are much more relaxing, and at the same time, the happiness they increase is real.
He was so happy that he gained another two pounds.
It’s just that,
I heard that
Director Charlie was very unhappy.
There has been a lot of turmoil in the art department recently, and everyone is in danger. The sound of breaking things can often be heard in the big boss's office.
"Who is the project assistant of the Little Prince project team, Mr. Wiesenkohl?"
The fat assistant was thinking wildly in his mind when suddenly there were several men in black wearing thick-soled leather shoes. , banging into the project team's office.
"Group Internal Affairs Department, we would like to ask Mr. Cole to come to our place for a brief chat."
The leader of the man in black showed his ID to the supervisor who came up. The atmosphere in the office turned cold at this moment.
"What's the matter?"
"No comment." The guy from the back office department said coldly with a straight face.
The Internal Affairs Department is the internal compliance and audit department of a large company, which is equivalent to the court in a business empire like Schostic.
For such a large group with tens of billions of dollars, if the internal rules, regulations and risk control rely solely on the police, the efficiency will be very low, and if something goes wrong, the day lily will often be gone.
Theoretically, all systems related to company regulations are under the jurisdiction of the internal office department.
It can be as big as suspecting a certain management member of misappropriating 20 million US dollars of public funds to go to Las Vegas, or catching the commercial espionage planted by a rival company within the group, or as small as receiving a report that someone has been arrested. Huahua's teasing of female colleagues fell under the investigation responsibility of the internal support department.
However, small matters generally depend on the situation. Either the police will be called to handle it, or the other party will be ordered to go to the human resources department for an interview.
What the Internal Affairs Department can investigate are often serious disciplinary violations.
Many colleagues in the office looked at the fat assistant with curiosity, surprise, and strange eyes.
The fat assistant’s face suddenly tightened.
He immediately thought of the detective cat.
Someone reported him for violating discipline
The supervisor looked calm, patted the assistant on the shoulder and asked him to follow him first.
"Is it about the detective cat?"
On the way to the back office department, the fat assistant felt a little panicked and couldn't help but ask.
"Mr. Cole, how do you know that we are looking for you because of the detective cat?" The guy from the back office stopped immediately and his tone was playful.
"Well, I've been dealing with these tasks recently."
The fat assistant knew that he had said the wrong thing, and his heart skipped a beat.
He raised his wrist and looked at his watch in panic, "It's almost time now.It's time to get off work. Well, we shouldn't talk for too long. ”
“The group stipulates that we will pay three times the overtime pay per hour. "
The guy from the Internal Affairs Department shrugged, "Of course, Mr. Cole, we have no right to restrict your personal freedom. If you don't want to talk, you can leave at any time. "
"It's just that the next time I talk to you may be the police. Because of personal subjective malice, the group has lost significant property. I would like to remind you that such high-value financial crimes will go to criminal court. ”
The little brother said lightly, “Even if you don’t have to go to jail, with such a civil record, it will be difficult to find a job.” "
The fat assistant, who was still a social animal, gasped in horror when faced with the threats.
"Because of personal subjective malice, the group's significant property loss was caused. So serious. "He licked the corner of his mouth.
"Haha, because of some people's selfish interests, the first-line well-known illustration studio Wehrlein Studio, which had already reached a preliminary cooperation intention, was kicked away, and the contract was changed in a secret operation. Licensed to a little-known spam internet painter. "
A voice said in a sinister voice, "The potential losses to the group's market due to the works of rubbish painters may be as high as tens of millions of dollars. Just be prepared to spend time in jail picking up soap until you die." ”
Charlie, director of art department of Schostic Group, was leaning against the open door of the back office talk room, lighting a thick black cigar with fragrant wood chips.
He put the cigar He held it in his mouth and took a deep breath.
Then he blew a provocative smoke ring at the fat assistant with a vicious look in his eyes.
“Fat boy, if you don’t want to. While you're rotting in jail with that bitch Detective Cat, I advise you to reveal all of Osborne's dirty deeds. ”
Charlie believes that,
for Osborne to work so hard to promote an online illustrator, there must be some shady insider trading.
< p>He originally did not want to report Osborne's suspicion of disciplinary violations to the internal affairs department.Firstly, Charlie had no direct evidence.
Secondly, the management's infighting was generally ineffective. Within a controllable range, it would be a complete breach if the back office department was involved.
You can report it, and others can also report it. Among the contracts that Charlie gives to Wehrlein Illustration Studio on a daily basis is Wanwan. It's not very clean.
But Osborne's behavior of wooing Deputy Director Schubert has completely exceeded the bottom line of Charlie's tolerance.
Okay. Now, the most important thing for illustrators is to let their works speak for themselves, which is similar to some technical professions.
Whatever can attract the audience is good, and what cannot attract the audience is bad.
It is true that the Little Prince project had already reached a preliminary cooperation intention with Wehrlein Studio, and it is also true that it was suddenly authorized to an online painter.
Regardless of the results of the investigation.What is it.
As long as you have a first-tier studio like Wehrlein in your hands, you can produce better works than Detective Cat.
Charlie believes that no matter what the outcome of the investigation is, he will be in an invincible position.
Now that Osborne has crossed the bottom line.
Even if Charlie fights to go to the board of directors, he will definitely kick Detective Cat out. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
