"Eight years, maybe. When I was in the fourth grade of elementary school, I learned some calligraphy and Chinese painting in an art class. I started to get into sketching in the sixth grade. But at that time, it was just some hobbies and I didn't delve into it deeply. By the first year of junior high school
, I signed up for the school’s art specialty class, and that’s when I started painting until now.” Liu Tao murmured about his art experience, which are actually things he is proud of. First, he is really better at painting than others, and second, he paints better than others.
Come on, he has been painting for a long time. Sometimes, he always feels that compared to the art students in the class, he is like a senior~~~.
Although Liu Tao's idea is very obscene, it is undeniable that even the monitor in the class would give him a thumbs up when it comes to art.
"Oh? You have been studying for such a long time? No wonder you can draw so well. Haha, I happen to be more interested in your art. Please tell me about your painting skills."
"Skills? Well, I think the biggest skill in doing anything is to study hard and practice hard! Principal, you see, every line drawn in the sketch must be equal in length, and the distance and width of each line must also be equal.
It must be neat. If you don't practice more, it will be difficult to draw such neat lines." As he spoke, Liu Tao did not forget to show off by drawing dozens of lines on the drawing board.
The lengths of each of these dozens of lines are almost the same. At the same time, the distance between the lines is also the same width, just like the comb.
Looking at the lines Liu Tao drew on the drawing board with his pen, the principal on the side was slightly stunned. Then he said to himself, "This is really interesting. I noticed that you use all kinds of different lines in your paintings."
A combination of them. However, it is these various lines that can form a vivid portrait. Can you tell me what elements need to be mastered in order to draw this sketch well? "
"Well, sketching is the same as gouache. It pays attention to three elements. The first point of the three elements that sketching pays attention to is the reality and distance. That is to say, the scenery behind the painting should be more virtual, and the scenery near the front should be more realistic. One virtuality
Only in a real space can the prominence of the painting be revealed. The second point is the contrast between light and dark. Because of the existence of light, the color of every object changes. Even a white gypsum ball will change when exposed to light.
Under the circumstances, the backlit side will also appear darker. Only by paying attention to the changes in light and dark, and then depicting them in a measured way, can the volume and weight of the painting be reflected. The third point is the proportion of size, just like me
The old woman who is painting now must not lose the proportions of her facial features. How big her nose is and how big her eyes are. The painter must have a certain accuracy in mind. Otherwise, the painted things will look different."
