"The Duchess of Newcastle has never deliberately concealed her political ambitions in her writing. There is no doubt that the utopian new world she created in her writing is a reflection of the New World of America discovered by Columbus at that time. However, in the article, this kind of The great geographical discovery was made by our protagonist, a beautiful young lady, and she naturally became the ruler and queen of the new world in the plot."
came from the earphones. Mr. Sloth's gentle voice recorded last night.
The amount of literature on the fiery world in this book is huge and complex.
The agent suggested that Gu Weijing record the conversation between them every night, and listen to it and review it when he was free, so as to cultivate his mood when painting.
When an actor plays a certain role, he will repeat the script and figure out the character's mood and behavioral motivations.
Low-end illustration commissioning is now an industrial assembly line.
But excellent illustrators will also have similar understanding and speculation when receiving high-end illustration contracts.
Because this looks a bit like an online class.
Gu Weijing was out of fun, so he named the audio files between them in chronological order Mr. Sloth's Fun Little Class Series.
They just finished sorting out the general outline of the entire book last night.
After all the characters in the book and the meanings represented by certain special intentions are clearly separated, the insinuations about the political struggle of the Royal Scientific Society in some chapters are not considered.
The main storyline of The Blazing World is not as complicated as imagined.
So much so that it can be said
its degree of "modernization" far exceeded Gu Weijing's original expectations.
The whole book seems to have an indescribable sense of immediacy with Long Aotian's smooth writing.
This is a semi-autobiographical fantasy written by the Duchess of Newcastle, using her imaginary self as the protagonist.
A young woman encountered a shipwreck and traveled to a parallel dimension continent called "The Blazing World" that had not been explored before.
There are not only human kingdoms there, but also giants, birdmen and sea monsters.
The heroine relies on the advanced technology from the Royal Society of England, as well as "the light of her beauty, the passion of youth and the protection of the gods" to survive all the way, tear the little bitch with her hands, step on the white lotus, and be crowned Became the king's queen.
Then he relied on his profound knowledge to establish and lead the Royal Science Society in another world, and mastered military power to repel the invasion of foreign lands.
She crowned herself and became the queen respected by all people.
From then on, he gained power over the entire foreign land and reached the pinnacle of his life.
Yes, the whole plot is so simple and crude.
After Gu Weijing stumbled through the entire novel, he almost spat blood on the plain-cover book given to him by the publisher.
This is really a four-hundred-year-old bookIs it a sci-fi classic from the past?
This is similar to the mainstream popular time-travel texts that go back to the past and travel back in time to the time-travel heroine "I am the Strongest Queen" that are popular on the Internet at home and abroad.
There is no essential difference
Whether it is Chinese, Japanese or English, many of the most popular comic series on the Internet follow this routine.
"The Duchess of Newcastle is so fashionable. I'm not surprised that this is a serialized story written by a modern person on Amazon."
Gu Weijing sighed.
"Ms. Detective Cat, well, I understand how you feel. You will understand if you watch more, this kind of thing is very common."
Mr. Sloth smiled, but that was not right Gu Weijing was surprised by the fuss.
She said that she had a similar feeling to him when she was taking a literary appreciation class.
Mr. Sloth discovered this very early.
The fiery world is not an exception.
Many ancient plots are not stale and are very suitable for modern people's tastes.
The once popular goths and knights are highly similar to the screenwriting routines of the contemporary Hollywood industry. Dracula, the originator of vampire literature, is a fashionable pseudo-journalism pieced together from a "travel diary".
Many stories written by Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King have a similar atmosphere when read.
As far as preferences are concerned, society has not changed much between four hundred years ago and four hundred years later.
There has always been a saying in the field of modern literature.
Over the centuries of development in various countries around the world, from Greek mythology, The Tale of Genji, Dream of the Red Chamber to Shakespeare, Hugo, and then to the golden age of Russian literature.
Since the immortal Leo Tolstoy and the great Dostoyevsky.
Everything in the world has been written.
This certainly does not mean that there are no new stories being born, but it means that all the desires that drive the action of the plot protagonist and the plot design templates with tension have been exhausted by the previous masters.
Every modern creative idea that they think is novel is just using a similar plot structure and putting on a different story coat.
Therefore, if the modern serious literature and art field wants to play something new, when the plot has been locked, they can only start with the narrative structure.
Polyphonic writing, status quo structure, network structure, symbolic structure. Great writers in the past half century have innovated in stylistic structure.
There is no distinction between literature and art.
The art field also has similar problems.
The direct reason why classical art emphasizes technique, modern art emphasizes form, and avant-garde art emphasizes concept is that some people believe that in terms of technique, classical painters in the 19th century and before have reached their peak. .
The sky painting board has reached the level of painting.
So in modern society, many artists onlyWe have to start from both the painting form and the art concept to create a new art form.
“I have reservations about this point of view. Sublime creative forms are certainly an outstanding innovation, but complex expression techniques also make serious and avant-garde art gradually get closer to ordinary people’s lives. "The evolution of art may not be able to bear the cost of being separated from ordinary people's daily life." "Then again, Ms. Detective Cat. This fiery world is far inferior to The Little Prince in terms of ideological depth and literary achievements, but considering the male-dominated social environment at that time, it is still respectable for a woman to write such a book. ”
“At least the journey our beauty took to the throne was quite exciting. When I was a child, I felt that if Queen Anne Boleyn had the decisiveness of the heroine in the book. And fortitude, she may not need to go to the guillotine. Well, as a woman, you should like this paragraph."
"Well, it's okay."
"When I read this book as a child, most of the plots left only a fleeting memory, but when the book was first published in 1666, the author Margaret Cavendish wrote on the title page The message above is still fresh in my memory. Although I am destined not to become Charles II or Henry V, I will try my best to become my own Margaret I. ”
“A very powerful and brave expression. "Gu Weijing nodded.
"A woman wants to be her own king, how aloof and touching."
At the end of the chat last night.
Mr. Sloth once said enthusiastically, "Let us toast to the great sprout of feminism. I will help you work hard to become the Detective Cat Queen in the field of art. This is my ambition, and also My hope. I encourage you, come on, come here today."
Detective Cat I Queen
Gu Weijing twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled helplessly.
Initially, he only drew figures online for the nerds to take orders, and chose the gender of the girl.
Now, due to a combination of circumstances, she is getting further and further under the cloak of "big sister".
There are some situations that are hard to counteract.
Okay, never mind.
Anyway, whether you can live as your own master should have nothing to do with your gender.
It’s the same as being a king if you can’t be a queen.
Somewhere in Gu Weijing's heart, he felt that Mr. Sloth's tone when he finally talked about the female author was a bit neutral.
But he didn’t think much about it.
I just feel that Mr. Sloth often gives him the impression of being mature and powerful.
But sometimes, it is quite cute.
He imported a drawing called Hercules on the Sea, which was the first drawing he completed for this illustration project while Mr. Sloth was studying there.Scanned copy of Hua Dao painting.
On the screen,
The giants stood on the coast. The foaming waves only extended to the waists of the giants. The three-masted sail warship was at their hands, as if it was made for little ones. Children's toys for kids.
Beside the burning red sun, birds with iron feathers could be seen whistling past.
Gu Weijing created this painting based on the second half of the painting, in which the heroine commanded giants and bird soldiers to defeat the enemy troops that invaded her territory.
Despite what Mr. Sloth thinks.
Detective Cat is also a woman, so she should have a lot of sympathy for the process of a heroine like the protagonist crowning herself.
But Gu Weijing is indeed not a girl, and he does not have an accurate concept or idea of what he should express "belonging to the queen's demeanor and majesty".
So,
He chose to temporarily skip the part about the heroine, briefly tested the waters with the war scenes in the article, and painted this work.
Hercules on the Sea
Painting techniques, knife painting, legendary level
Emotionally simple work
This picture popped up on the system panel Painting details.
The first painting turned out like this, and overall Gu Weijing was quite satisfied.
His understanding of the fiery world is definitely not as deep as that of the little prince.
Moreover, this set of books is destined to not have high sales.
Some of the detailed paintings in the special illustration manuscript submitted for evaluation can be regarded as meeting the requirements if they are drawn like this.
The reason why he brought this painting out was because he wanted to practice watercolor.
Gu Weijing thought that after he became familiar with its appearance, he could try to paint the same Hercules on the sea again with watercolor brushes.
On the whole, the composition lines and color matching remain unchanged, only the painting method has changed.
Let’s see how it actually works.
Gu Weijing turned the stylus and began to quickly draw lines and fill in colors on the screen.
He did not use colored pencils combined with the later water-soluble painting method.
Rocreate on tablet computers is a powerful software, and the functions it can achieve have exceeded some professional painting tablets of previous years.
But it can only import different types of brushes such as colored pencils or watercolors, and cannot change the chemical properties of paints like real paintings.
The more important reason is.
Using colored pencils to draw watercolors is similar to how infants and young children use anti-fall bicycles with auxiliary wheels on both sides. It is a very entry-level painting method. In addition to a single stroke texture, many complex color effects cannot be accomplish.
Usually used for being lazy and handing in homework, it’s not a big problem.
If you want to consider it as a career path development direction, you still need to take it more seriously.
After completing the line draft.
Gu Weijing used the cover dyeing method, as the drawing method for this exercise.
The over-dying method is to brush the paint evenly on the paper layer by layer, superimposing layer by layer. After painting one layer, use it as a basis to modify it.
Nothing fancy, just the most basic and most commonly used painting method.
Not only are watercolors commonly used, but they are also used every day when painting oil paintings.
Before writing.
Gu Weijing has already designed it.
He mainly painted giants standing in the sea water. The lowest layer of paint is light blue and earthy yellow, and then based on the change of light, cooked brown and black are added to the background color.
Once shadows are added, the three-dimensional effect of the picture becomes stronger.
The stronger the three-dimensional effect, the stronger the realistic effect.
Then, he slightly outlines the details of the facial features, and after a while, the entire painting is considered
"Oops, it's completely turned into a big mess."
Gu Weijing had only been drawing for a short while, and he couldn't help but frown.
We are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but we are afraid of comparing goods.
In fact, the semi-professional level watercolor effect is far from ugly, and is considered excellent among the entire Dulwich student body.
However, after half a year of training, Gu Weijing's vision has become much higher.
Those who have witnessed the gluttony of the gods will find all the delicacies in the world taste like wax.
Gu Weijing would have been complacent when he painted the same effect last semester, but now in front of the legendary knife painting technique he created last night.
The gap is like a country girl bumping into Cleopatra.
It was enough to make him feel ashamed.
A complete dish.
Gu Weijing did not have such unrealistic expectations that the effect of semi-professional watercolor painting would be better than the legendary painting knife painting.
But he originally hoped that he could paint the characteristics of watercolor.
I am good at painting children’s themes with a knife, but watercolor also has its own unique advantages.
The most awesome thing about watercolor.
The reason is that as long as the appropriate painting method is adopted, it can perfectly control any type of painting subject matter.
If the picture has a fairy tale feel, it must have a fairy tale feel; if it wants to have a sense of vicissitudes of life, it must have a sense of vicissitudes of life.
The colors of watercolor are light, moist and translucent, and the smallest mink-hair brush is only as big as the tip of a needle.
To put it in layman’s terms, if you look at a painting as a photograph, watercolor painting naturally has the highest resolution and pixel density among mainstream painting methods.
Oil paintings can also be very realistic.
But the physical properties of the texture created by the underlying brushstrokes on the canvas cannot be changed.
A watercolor artist who is very good at painting. He can paint paintings that are exactly the same as photos. When you look at them suddenly, you can't notice the difference between the paintings. Please remember to bookmark the website, the latest, fastest and free to read without anti-theft
