When the sun turned west again and it was getting late, Gu Weijing finally completed the work at hand.
He raised his brush and swept it across the canvas in front of him.
"It is considered a qualified work."
The final picture effect looks pretty good.
Although the details of some paintings are slightly inconsistent and need to be polished, if you look closely, the brushwork is still not perfect.
But Gu Weijing can still say proudly,
The work in front of him is no longer a forced fusion painting just for the purpose of selling a gimmick.
Now the fusion painting skills I have displayed on this canvas have finally begun to have some real "fusion" meaning.
"There are still some shortcomings, but the look and feel of this picture is ready for exhibition." Gu Weijing licked his lips.
In this new sunny appearance of the Good Luck Orphanage, no major negative points are found that are obviously incongruous.
Based on the current level of completion of the work, normally speaking, it probably exceeds the basic threshold for participating in art exhibitions.
Entering the main booth should not be a big problem.
If you are very lucky and do not encounter strong enough competitors, even if it is a first-tier art in Asia such as the Lion City Art Exhibition, Exhibition, it is not completely impossible for this painting to win even a small prize.
There are also regrets,
For example, the handling of the characters’ expressions, the subtle depiction of the eyes, and the contrast between light and shadow are not smooth enough
In the final analysis, Gu Weijing believes that he is actually It has not yet fully realized the full potential that the original base map should be able to express.
If not for his insufficient proficiency in Chinese painting and sketching techniques, it became an obstacle for Gu Weijing to control his pen.
Then,
The final effect of this painting should be much better than it is now.
The full power of fusion painting is far from being as simple as not losing points.
It’s like a middle school girl, who was obviously the beautiful embryo of a fairy sister, but in the end, after being painted by Gu Weijing, she turned into a beautiful female colleague who can catch the eye.
This itself shows from the side that he still cannot fully grasp the essence of new body painting and give full play to the full advantages of this painting method.
"Let's give it a sixty for now. Then we'll keep trying."
Gu Weijing evaluated his overall satisfaction with this work, and then threw it away. The art of appraisal of calligraphy and painting.
Work title Good Luck Orphanage under the Sun
Sketch Techniques v4 Professional Painter Level 1 23985000
Oil Painting Techniques v5 Professional Painter Level 2 10110000
Chinese Painting Techniques v4 Professional Painter Level 1 11865000
Emotionally simple works
The standards for systematic evaluation of works have always been very strict.
On the virtual panel at this time,
it still uses twoThe dividing line reminds Gu Weijing that his new body painting level is just barely visible.
This shows that in the eyes of the system, Gu Weijing's technique is far from being able to operate smoothly and naturally.
While the three painting techniques are compatible with each other, little noticeable gaps still exist.
Even compared to the first painting he ever painted of the Lucky Orphanage in the Sun. There is actually an additional dividing line mark on the data panel that shows the gap.
Originally, on the panel of the first painting, there were eye-catching dividing lines with dark colors that looked like shark teeth between Chinese paintings, oil paintings, and sketches.
Now even the oil paintings and drawings are showing inconsistencies. It's just that the dividing line has become lighter and thinner.
Of course,
the extra dividing line does not affect the visual effect of this work to be much more successful than its predecessor.
The former has only one dividing line, but it completely tears up the effect of the picture.
Because Gu Weijing had only added Chinese painting techniques that were completely incompatible with the structure of the painting in his original traditional oil painting creation.
The painting method he uses now is a completely different painting theory and art philosophy.
From the moment of its birth, New Body Painting was born to blend these three techniques with each other and learn from each other's strengths to offset weaknesses.
Lang Shining has proved that there is no problem with the theory of painting.
The reason why there is a gap in the final painting is not due to his painting technique, it is simply due to the shortcomings of his painting techniques.
To put it bluntly, Gu Weijing just lacks practice.
For example,
The combination of Eastern Xia painting and Western painting,
in the hands of masters such as Castiglione, can probably produce the effect of 113, In Gu Weijing's first attempt, due to the mutual influence and interference between the two parties, there may be only 03 left.
It’s really at a level where painting is worse than not painting at all.
Judge by this standard.
The painting in front of him now could probably be rated 11 or 12.
It can’t compare to the ability of great artists to turn decay into magic, but it is several times better than the look and feel of his previous works.
Even if the gap and incoordination still exist, the effect will be slightly better than if he used Eastern and Western painting methods alone.
"Well, the emotional evaluation of this painting is only simple."
Gu Weijing looked at the emotion column and shrugged.
The second step of the task of embracing all rivers requires the emotional evaluation to reach a rating of "feeling" or above before it can be completed.
After putting down the brush and not hearing the prompt that the task was completed, Gu Weijing was mentally prepared.
He was a little disappointed, but not too much.
It is important for people to be self-aware.
In the process of painting, I had originally estimated that the emotion of painting this painting could only be regarded as a simple work at best.
The reason is also very simple.
When Gu Weijing was painting, all his thoughts were on controlling the brush, and there was no extra energy at all.
What else can we talk about using works as a carrier to express the painter’s emotional appeal?
“I want to be able to easily integrate my own emotions into the techniques of new body painting to complete this It is a systematic task. I estimate that the level of Chinese painting and sketching should be similar to that of oil painting, which requires reaching the second level of professional proficiency."
Gu Weijing thought about the brush he used when he just painted. I feel like I probably made a judgment in my mind.
"Perhaps if the oil painting is particularly strong, breaking through the third level of the profession or even the first level of the master may be possible just by relying on outstanding painting skills, like glue, the remaining two can be easily bridged together. When a painter paints You won’t feel too much pressure either.”
In short,
Either the three techniques are not bad, or if one is particularly strong, I should be able to complete it. System task requirements.
Gu Weijing looked at the rewards of the serial tasks on the system panel with great envy, and he had the urge to compete with the small blessing candle of the Muse he had just obtained.
Gu Weijing thought for a moment, then shook his head rationally and rejected the idea.
He knows that it is completely inappropriate to use precious one-time skills here.
With more than a hundred days left before the exhibition, Gu Weijing still has enough time to improve his painting skills by following conventional methods.
It is estimated that by May or June at the latest, the little prince’s remaining payment from the publishing house will be paid.
Gu Weijing should still be able to get a large amount of free experience points by then.
He can practice more during this period. If he has nothing to do, he can draw two pictures of the Good Luck Orphanage in the sun.
Unless there is a clear creative time limit, or it is specifically a family portrait for the employer, business cooperation that requires a completed draft within a short period of time.
When great painters paint a certain work, it is often very difficult to paint it to their satisfaction in one go.
Especially some important sketches.
In order to achieve the best effect, the artist needs to paint the same subject and the same work over and over again from morning to night. Some may draw it five or six times, while some may draw it hundreds of times.
I even paint as soon as I feel passionate.
In this way, in the vast amount of practice, I can capture the great work that makes the audience suffocate with its beauty.
Some opinions and documents believe that Leonardo da Vinci painted at least three Mona Lisas.
As for Monet’s haystacks, there are 25 extant paintings, and the estimated number of water lilies is between 181,252.
Even based on letters and friends’ memories,In order to master the colors and lines of a Renaissance church on the streets of Paris, the artist has been painting for several years and has hundreds of traditional practice paintings.
Some painters will destroy unsatisfactory works, while others will not.
Gu Weijing felt that he could first practice dozens of pictures of the Good Luck Orphanage under the sun.
Practice makes perfect anyway
Even if your skills are insufficient, the experience accumulated through repeated painting will be of great benefit to the final effect of the painting.
Furthermore, the creative time that the Muse’s blessing candle can activate is actually too short for a painting that is more than 10 inches long and wide.
This painting took much faster than his first attempt, but it still took half a day, from noon to dusk and sunset.
Having calculated everything,
The ten minutes or so when the candle was lit was just enough for him to quickly and slowly draw a small-sized drawing with a knife.
"Well, when it comes to painting with a knife, I thought of something before going to bed last night."
Gu Weijing scratched his hair and talked to himself for a moment.
He bent down and took out a dark aluminum alloy painting tube from under the bed in the bedroom. He unscrewed the lid of the painting tube and pulled out a rolled canvas.
Gu Weijing unfolded the canvas on the table, revealing the figure of a little boy sitting on the sand dune.
This is the little prince on the dunes at night that he painted before. The cover painting for the new version of Little Prince produced by the Schostic Group.
This painting was carefully received by Gu Weijing into the painting tube and preserved.
For the top illustrators,
many of them are still insisting on drawing with pen and paper even in the 1920s.
The deep-seated reasons include "paper and pen can bring better painting texture", "pursuing old-school odschoo painting habits", and "only feeling the pen tip on the paper." Only friction can inspire the soul of Laozi's creation, otherwise he will just be a slave to electronic products." Behind these high-sounding reasons.
There is also a very practical consideration that paper illustrations can be sold separately for money.
The copyright of the characters created by the illustrator and most of the related commercial rights usually belong to the publisher.
For example, it is absolutely not allowed for a Disney illustrator to secretly draw Mickey Mouse in a private name after get off work and sell it online.
Whoever dares to do this should wait to be sued by a lawyer.
The most powerful legal department on the planet is not kidding you, it will definitely pounce on you like a mad dog and bite you.
Similarly,
Gu Weijing must not wear the vest of Detective Cat and privately create any works related to the character of "The Little Prince" on Fiverr, even for his own paintings. No secondary adaptation of the character is allowed.
However, if there is no special agreement in the contract, after he gives the electronic pictures to the Schostic Group, he can retain the ownership of the original drawings and use them at will.
Gu Weijing can sell the manuscript at will.
If the illustrator has not reached the status of Stan Lee, the Godfather of Marvel, Walt Disney, the author of Mickey Mouse, or someone who has won the Hans Christian Andersen Award.
The original works sold by modern cartoonists and illustrators are rarely eligible for special auctions.
Usually belonging to the miscellaneous antique auctions held by Sotheby's and Christie from time to time, and used to sell hot works at the opening.
Painters in North America prefer to bypass middlemen and use eBay’s second-hand trading website. There are also flea markets and pawn shops in the Americas that specialize in collecting these things.
Among the Hua Dao paintings created by Gu Weijing, only this cover painting was left alone by him.
For the other works,
After he sent the drawings to Mr. Sloth and received a reply from the other party that there was no problem with the work, Gu Weijing simply took the oil painting knife to all of them. Shoveled away.
Rare things are more valuable.
Because the number of works is easily dozens or hundreds of times that of oil paintings and watercolor painters who take the serious art route in galleries.
An illustrator can produce as many works in one month as a serious artist can produce in two years.
As a result, the illustrator’s original works cannot be sold very expensively, and even tens of thousands of dollars are considered top-notch ones.
The original works need to be sold at a good price, or there are many original manuscripts for a complete set of characters in a certain series.
Otherwise, we might as well sell only the best few and destroy the rest to control the number of works in circulation.
He did not specifically think about creating a unique product for marketing.
When Gu Weijing was painting, he didn’t think about selling it.
It’s just that there was no space to dry paintings in the gallery at home, so Gu Weijing followed his past practice habits and took all the canvases for secondary use.
By the way, I don’t want to accidentally confiscate it and my grandparents and aunts will see it.
Gu Weijing was not willing to destroy the last cover painting.
After all, this is the best work he has ever created.
Not only did it include his own efforts, Mr. Sloth also worked hard to read him a book for such a long time, and Gu Weijing planned to keep it as a souvenir.
After he dried the painting on the windowsill of his bedroom, he rolled it into the canvas storage bucket under the window and almost forgot about it.
But after obtaining the one-time skill of the Muse’s Blessing Candle.
Last night, Gu Weijing was lying in bed sleeping. Half asleep and half awake, a bold idea suddenly came to his mind.
This painting is a step away from a deeper level of emotional expression, just like a piece of window paper.
There were several times when he was writing that he felt that the little prince in his painting was going to beIt came to life, but unfortunately, something was missing in the end.
Gu Weijing previously concluded that the reason why he was unable to pierce this thin layer of paper when creating was because his own understanding of the little prince was not deep enough.
The most profound part of the emotion in his writing is more about the insights conveyed by Mr. Sloth through the tip of his pen, and is not something that belongs to Gu Weijing himself.
The little prince was not enough to impress Gu Weijing.
He did not really get into the hearts of the characters written by Saint-Exupéry and resonate enough with the words in the book.
As for this,
Gu Weijing may have a chance to make up for it now.
The Muse’s Blessing Candle does not have the ability to improve the already legendary Knife Painting, but finding a new way to improve another skill may achieve the same good results.
Gu Weijing opened the skill panel and looked at his most commonly used calligraphy and painting appraisal technique.
Active skill Calligraphy and Painting Appraisal
The current quality is excellent
Special Effect 1: Calligraphy and Painting Appreciation After activating the skill, you will be able to analyze the color, structure and lines of a painting . And the painting information appears in the panel in the form of data. You can directly appreciate the physical paper products, or you can appreciate the high-definition electronic album. There is a certain difference in the appraisal effect between the two.
Special Effect 2: During the process of appreciating the master's paintings through soul sensing, there is a chance that a limited mission will be triggered. Please note that appreciating works that are too high in advance of your current aesthetic attainments may cause additional mental burden to the host. Please use skills with caution
Advanced special effects three skills. This skill is an upgradeable skill. After use appraisal After performing the technique a thousand times, the skill will be upgraded. The current progress bar is 511000
The equipment requires more than twelve years of relevant experience in the field of art study, appraisal or art criticism. Each use of the skill consumes 50 free experience points and has no cooling time.
Remarks: The soul absorbs the emotions of another soul to enrich itself, and then returns to the world with richer emotions.
The art of calligraphy and painting appraisal is almost the most widely applicable skill among the skills currently provided by the system on the virtual panel.
Even in terms of quality alone, appraisal is the lowest level among the three skills currently owned by Gu Weijing, and it costs 50 free experience points to use it once.
But it is the skill that Gu Weijing uses most often, and it actually helps him more than the unpopular painting method of legendary drawing knife painting.
Because he has used it too much,
He has become a little accustomed to the effect of identification, and has ignored that the blessing candle can be used not only in fields directly related to painting, but also in areas directly related to painting. This auxiliary skill should also have an effect.
Even from the very beginning of the system description, it is clearly marked that it has upgrade potential.
“The art of calligraphy and painting appraisal, theoretically called this skill, should not only be used to identify paintings and artworks, but also be able to dismantle masters’ paintings intoIt's like authentic lines, allowing people to understand the deepest inspiration and thoughts of the book's text."
Gu Weijing is a little unsure.
Currently this skill and its system panel Compared with the above name, it is a bit unrealistic.
Gu Weijing once tried to use his skills in textual readings, but there was no response at all.
