Anatomically speaking,
Human pupils can contract or expand 67 times in tens of milliseconds when emotions such as ecstasy, excitement, sadness, etc. change dramatically in a short period of time.
This is the organ most closely related to mood in the physiological structure of the human body and is not subject to human subjective will.
Even those masters of micro-expression management who have received professional anti-interrogation training and can control the subtle facial muscles to achieve the situation of "thundering in the chest and flat lake in the face".
The changes in their pupils can still clearly reflect the ups and downs of their inner emotions.
Eyes are the windows to the soul.
Western painting schools have always paid great attention to people’s eyes.
The eyes can express the character's mood, the mirror can express the complex overlap of spatial structure, and the lights and candlelight can express the color, light and shadow.
These three points are the difficulties and key points that need to be paid attention to when copying the works of famous masters, which the teacher repeatedly emphasized in the oil painting class.
The Oriental School of Painting has a level of depiction of the characters’ eyes that is almost pathologically demanding.
The painting of people and eyes is the finishing touch.
Zhang Yanyuan, a famous official from the Tang Dynasty to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, once mentioned in his book "Six Methods of Painting" which commented on the merits and demerits of famous painters in the past dynasties: "There are methods for painting, and for viewing The idea of "eyes have spirit".
I believe that in Chinese paintings, if the audience can see the aura and spirit in the eyes of the characters, then the painting is organized.
To figure out the different eyes of the model and restore them on paper with a brush is the eternal pursuit of oriental painters of all dynasties.
Oriental art works,
from various schools of Chinese painting, to Gandhara Buddhist art influenced by the Eastern Xia cultural circle, Central Asian art styles, and even some Greek murals and sculptures This feature can be clearly seen in works of art.
Gu Wei has read relevant art theory books and consulted Professor Lin Tao on this issue.
Professor Lin Tao thinks.
Whether it is the early Gandhara Buddhist art or the figure paintings of the Eastern Xia Dynasty for kings and generals, they all pay great attention to the solemnity and majesty of the characters.
The painter wants the viewer to feel awe and not dare to blaspheme.
In order to express solemnity, these painting schools are accustomed to flattening portraits and even sculptures.
Whether it is a divine Buddha statue, or the common portraits of emperors in the Qing Dynasty palace, or the maps of famous ministers, almost all of them are full-face portraits of people sitting majestically. This is the reason.
Unofficial History of the Qing Palace,
The Italian Castiglione once presented a Western-style portrait oil painting of a side-sitting figure to Emperor Kangxi, the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty.
He focused on spatial perspective and painted "lifelike images, with every detail of the eyebrows, eyes, and facial features clearly visible", hoping to please the ruler of the Eastern land.
As a result, Emperor Kangxi was furious.
He thought that the figures in the picture were sitting in vain and the light and shade were unclear., arrogant, intangible, and extremely vulgar, ordered this painting that damaged the holy face to be destroyed.
Master Lang finally accepted his fate and changed his career to study new style painting.
Chinese painting characters often do not have rich changes in facial features, nor are they accustomed to using large areas of shadow or perspective to express a true sense of space like Western oil paintings.
This will further test the artist's level.
If it is too solemn, it will appear dull and lose popularity.
Therefore, the spirit, lively temperament and elegant expression of all characters require the painter to use superb skills to highlight a pair of eyes.
Look at the heart through the eyes, and then look at the person.
This is what Eastern painters call the "mental image" of emphasizing meaning rather than form.
Gu Weijing understood the principles, but he was always somewhere between understanding and not understanding exactly how to draw.
It’s like learning the physics formulas but not being able to solve them.
What kind of eyes should be drawn that can reveal inner emotions?
It is impossible for him to scan the model's pupils bit by bit like an electronic scanner. On paper.
Professor Lin Tao helplessly told him that the master led him in, and cultivation depends on the individual.
The truth has been taught to him, and the rest can only be understood by Gu Weijing himself.
If you are a painting master like Mr. Cao Xuan,
you can naturally rely on nearly a hundred years of painting accumulation and the changes in your heart, and the energy nourished by the mist and rain of the world, to create murals out of thin air. The midpoint creates a shocking look in the viewer's eyes.
Mr. Cao is not far away from being a hundred years old.
A century of training is enough for an art master to reach the point where his skills are almost perfect. Even if he draws casually, his facial features will still be vivid.
But for a kid like Gu Weijing,
both in terms of skills and life experience, he is too young.
Forget about the finishing touch.
Even when it comes to painting people, it is still too far to forcefully draw a portrait of a blank puppet, point out the temperament that seems to have come to life, and forcefully give it a soul.
If he wants to draw a truly moving gaze,
he must at least find a suitable model.
Professor Lin Tao said that it depends on opportunity.
When Gu Weijing really found that pair of eyes that contained rich emotional changes, he understood without the need for a teacher to teach him.
Excellent models are hard to find.
Painting, especially realistic-style subjects, is like a photojournalist who wants to win an award in a news competition. Outstanding works They are all made possible by excellent creators and excellent models.
Not only do you have to look hard, but you also have to try your luck.
Art models are something like this.
If the painter’s requirement is just appearance, it would be too simple.
Tall, short, fat and thin, some beautiful, some ugly, some oddly shapedWeird.
As long as you have money, no matter how weird your needs are, your agent or gallery can easily find them for you, no matter how beautiful they are.
For $100,000, it’s easy to find a Victoria’s Secret supermodel to paint an unclothed portrait.
If you happen to be an internationally renowned painter.
Sorry, countless model agents will contact you without spending any money.
The big sister might even take the initiative to directly set your drawing as a Twitter homepage and pin it to the top of the social platform.
On the chain of contempt between elegance and style,
In modern society, the only people in the West who can compete with great painters are some classical symphony musicians and members of the royal family. .
After Prince Harry and Meghan began to follow the Netflix route of ethical dramas, even the royal family may be half a step behind.
My waist is thin and my buttocks are perky. How handsome it is that I can be a nude model for a great painter.
It is easier than expecting to become famous in a TV series or in a group photo. The cover advertisements for luxury clothing are much more stylish. If a painter is willing to draw you, he really looks up to you.
But if your demand is "the model's soul has a sense of hierarchy and her eyes are full of emotions", this is a mysterious and mysterious statement.
Then your agent will vomit blood.
Can it be found? Once found, can the model really express the emotions that meet the artist's requirements?
Haha,
This is completely like finding a needle in a haystack. A state of resignation.
Even when Gu Weijing painted the portraits of the two children, Jasmine and Budao, he did not feel any strange feeling when painting the eyes.
Although Jasmine’s eyes are very beautiful,
I am just a child, happiness is happiness, and grievance is grievance.
Their minds are still childlike, very clean and refreshing, like a clear clear spring.
Moving, but lacking in layering.
Especially for the younger Bundao classmate,
Gu Weijing could only feel the desire to eat, play and lift just in his eyes. This is a very simple emotion.
At this time, Gu Weijing felt very surprised when he saw the look in Uncle Alai's eyes.
Like a piece of ultramarine pigment ore from dark green to jet black was thrown into the pool.
Slowly, slowly, layers of cyan hazy colors overflowed from it, filling the pool with water. The surrounding environment is rendered in a melancholy cyan color.
"This is the rich look"
Like a monk ringing a big brass bell in his mind, Gu Weijing's mind clicked, and he understood instantly He learned what Professor Lin Tao told him about what is a layered and rich look in his eyes.
Obviously Uncle Alai’s expression now is no different from before.
There is no expression in the eyesAny neurosis of cynical hatred of an unfair fate.
His eyes were so calm, so empty,
but there were layers of gentle sadness overflowing from them. The moment they looked at him, it was like... I saw the past thirty years of Uncle Alai.
I once had a good time and thought that I could change my destiny. I was the future master of this city and this country.
I drove through the streets of the downtown area in a car issued to high-ranking military officers. The faces in the reflectors were all people's envy and admiration.
I also hit the bottom, lost my faith, lost my honor, lost everything, and had my feet broken like a poor creature.
In the end, I didn’t even have an object to hate, and it only allowed me to recognize this dirty world.
So,
I don’t want to get rich or be a good person. I just want to live well as an orphanage volunteer and be a clean and good person.
Uncle Alai stopped talking,
but the moment he looked into his eyes, people couldn't help but want to shed tears.
Gu Weijing suddenly understood.
He grabbed the pen and began to write quickly. The skin of the fingers holding the drawing pen turned slightly white from the exertion.
Gu Weijing didn't even dare to take a deep breath, for fear that this precious understanding would slip away from his mind before he could record this look on paper.
Uncle Alai tilted his head, looking at the drawing paper in the hands of the middle school student, recalling the past half of his life, and his thoughts continued.
Unlike many of the semi-literate top soldiers under Myanmar’s warlords,
Alai’s cultural attainment is very high. He was admitted to the best national military school in Myanmar. His academic qualifications have exceeded this. Ninety percent of the people on this land.
Moreover, Uncle Alai stayed in Tel Aviv for a long time.
This city in Israel, which has long been shrouded in the shadow of war, is not only the place with the highest degree of militarization of the people, but also the place with the strongest artistic environment.
Tel Aviv is one of several modern art centers in the world. It has a dazzling array of art galleries and art creative parks. The walls of military base dormitories are covered with various graffiti and spray-paints. Uncle Alai even learned two sketches from an Argentine non-commissioned officer in the same dormitory during his vacation.
So, he knows how to draw.
Uncle Alai saw that the work on Gu Weijing's drawing paper was almost completed. It did not look like a sketch, nor did it look like the paintings he had seen on the street by vendors selling pen drawings to tourists. Law.
The lines are much more concise and precise. Each pen curve is like a skeleton, supporting the work from the paper.
The moment the gatekeeper saw Gu Weijing's drawing paper, he felt like he was seeing himself in the mirror.
Some are high-spirited, and some are desolate.
Two emotions that should be in conflict are cleverly integrated intoTogether, it's like ice wrapping fire, and fire burning in the ice. A large number of rich emotions are like water stored in a sponge. When the audience looks at the painting, they are squeezed out of the paper and rush into the audience's heart.
The self in the picture seems to be smiling, and seems to be crying again. When I first look at it, I feel happy, but when I look closely, I feel sad. After careful consideration, I only feel lonely.
Uncle Alai has heard someone say that Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is said to have very layered emotions.
Some people can see the joy, and some viewers can see the sadness.
Countless musicians and writers have created many works of art inspired by the look and feel of this famous painting.
Uncle Alai has never been to France, so naturally he has no chance to look at this famous painting with countless legends and stories in the Louvre and distinguish the authenticity from the fake.
However, the gatekeeper really discovered this feeling in the writing of this middle school student who looked like he was not even an adult yet.
It seems like my whole life is condensed and printed on this small sketch paper.
He stretched out his hand to touch the surface of the sketch paper, but then retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted, not daring to disturb Gu Weijing's drawing.
The title of the work is "Alai", the janitor of the Good Luck Orphanage

Emotionally and emotionally satisfied
Gu Weijing put down his pen.
After the cover illustration of The Little Prince, Gu Weijing once again reached the current emotional level of painting. The pinnacle.
"Another level of perfection that is felt in the heart."
Gu Weijing looked at the pair of eyes with long meaning drawn on his sketch paper, feeling a little regretful.
The feeling of his painting is very good, I thought it would be rated as a painstaking work.
It seems that the system’s evaluation standard for the emotional level of a painting is higher than he imagined.
I am still too young and lack enough understanding of life.
When I heard the story of Uncle Alai, it was more of a thrilling feeling like watching a surprising story. Even though I worked hard, I still lacked the last bit of shock that could penetrate my soul.
Fortunately,
As soon as Gu Weijing completed this line drawing sketch, he heard the reminder in his mind that the task was completed.
The current task content is to complete one hundred character line drawings with different themes. Note that more than 20 works need to be rated as "Xin You Feeling"
