"What do you think is the most important thing about comics?"
Lin Ke naturally accepted this disciple.
If a random person comes, of course Lin Ke will not accept him.
But it was Wu Daozi who came, how could he not accept it?
From now on, if these disciples are all showing off to each other, then can he, the master, walk away sideways?
"In comics, I think the most important thing is the introduction of the picture." Wu Daozi said one of the characteristics of comics.
But this is just one of them.
"Yes, and no." Lin Ke smiled: "What I'm asking you about is the characteristics of comics, not the characteristics of comic painting techniques."
Wu Daozi immediately showed confusion on his face: "I would like to hear the details."
"Let's do this, Wu Daozi." Lin Ke pointed at them: "How about you come with me to my house and live in a small house next to my house?"
The yard Qi Shangshu gave him was small, but it was enough to build a small house.
In this era, buying a house does not require so many approvals or procedures, and there is no such thing as shared area, apartment area, actual building area, etc.
As long as you have a stamped title deed, you can even put an Oriental Pearl Tower on it, let alone add a small house.
"Is this...really okay?"
Wu Daozi didn't know what he had gone through, and he seemed to be alone now.
To put it bluntly, although Lin Ke is from a humble background, he has become famous now and has quite a reputation.
Not only does he have a reputation, he also has a family fortune, and he even showed a good background a few days ago.
And what about Wu Daozi?
To put it nicely, call me a student.
To put it bluntly, students are unable to support themselves and may not be promising in the future. At the same time, their aspirations are as high as the sky and their hands are as small as chicken feet.
The beggar can also say a few nice words.
And students start talking about their future.
Even if Lin Ke paid the beggar, it would be better than recruiting students randomly.
However, Lin Ke still accepted Wu Daozi.
Wu Daozi didn't know that Lin Ke knew about his reputation in his previous life.
I only know that Lin Ke at this time had a great reputation.
Therefore, Wu Daozi is very grateful!
Moreover, although master and disciple are expected to have a lot of affection, the relationship is almost the same as that of father and son.
But now Lin Ke is willing to let Wu Daozi live next to him and teach him carefully.
This kind of appreciation, this kind of kindness...
"Master, I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Wu Daozi stood up and bowed to Lin Ke seriously.
"Ah?" Lin Ke was a little confused, with a "what happened" expression on his face.
He just asked Wu Daozi to live next to his house, and by the way, he could take turns guarding the door with Ning Caichen, the plum blossom tree spirit.
Why is Wu Daozi so excited?
"Nothing, master, let's go." Wu Daozi smiled.
"Okay." Lin Ke nodded, and then gave Wu Daozi the cat ears and tail in his hand: "By the way, apprentice, you take this thing. Starting tomorrow, you will sell comics for me during the day and practice painting at night.
painting."
"ah?"
"By the way, if you have time, you can also draw more comics and just use it as a practice."
"Click."
"Hey, disciple, did you hear something break?"
"It's okay, Master, it's just my disciple's simple and young heart."
"Oh, that's fine. Young man, break a few more things, and when all your moral integrity is broken, you'll be out of business."
"Click."
"Listen to me, disciple, how pleasant it is to your ears."
…
Returning to the yard, he helped Wu Daozi make a floor in the room, and Lin Ke began to tell him about comics.
"Comics should be viewed from two perspectives, one is the artist and the other is the reader."
"I said before that what you said was right or wrong, that's where it came from."
"Cartoons are paintings that directly reveal the essence and characteristics of things through exaggeration, metaphor, symbolism and other expression techniques and concise brushwork."
"It is not limited by time and space, is easy to create, has strong satire, praise, lyricism, entertainment and other functions, and is good at expressing the artist's views on world affairs and human feelings, and is especially good at satire and humor."
Lin Ke and Wu Daozi were sitting under the moonlight, next to Ning Caichen who was cleaning and eavesdropping, and the rustling plum tree.
"From a painter's point of view, the most important thing is expression."
"Whether it is a simple picture, a special style, rich scenes, etc., they are just the painter's means of expression."
"Expression requires understanding and clarity."
"This is also one of the advantages of comics, that is, people without any text or artistic skills can also understand what is happening in comics."
"So, from the reader's perspective, the most important thing is one thing, perception."
"The look and feel is composed of many elements such as plot, picture, personality style, etc. Therefore, a good comic must first have a plot, and then form its own style in the style of painting, in order to be considered outstanding..."
Lin Ke sat on the small bench, and Wu Daozi listened attentively in front of him, writing down the contents word for word.
At the same time, Wu Daozi was also deeply shocked in his heart.
Completely different way of painting!
It is indeed a completely different way of painting!
All along, the painting techniques he has been exposed to are complex techniques, how to hide deep meanings in ink, etc.
I never thought that a painting could be drawn using a child's graffiti method, using a simple hard pen.
Moreover, the pictures drawn, such as those in the previous comics "Doraemon" and "Pokémon", even feel more realistic than ink paintings.
This opened a door in Wu Daozi's heart.
"And this is only part of it." Lin Ke smiled: "Have you ever thought about adding color?"
"Color?" Wu Daozi wondered: "But green, red, yellow, white and black?"
"No." Lin Ke shook his head.
The colors of ancient Chinese paintings are divided into five colors, namely green, red, yellow, white and black, which correspond to the five elements of wood, fire, earth, gold and water.
These traditional cultures influence people's use of colors in paintings.
What is important in landscape painting is coloring, which means arranging colors. The colors are subjectively arranged according to the needs of the picture. The colors are mainly decorative colors.
Rather than realistic paintings, sketches, etc. like in the West.
Western pigments formed relatively late, but have been developing.
There were only eight kinds of painting pigments during the Renaissance, and they were expensive, making them unsuitable for color sketching. Therefore, sketching at that time was mostly based on sketching, and oil paintings were also based on the expression of sketching relationships.
But later, the research on pigments continued, especially after the industrial revolution, many new pigments were born, and the pigments became richer, making it possible to paint in color against natural landscapes.
And this is also one of Lin Ke's biggest weapons.
The competition between him and Qi Ye was mainly divided into three categories: "civil and military".
Miscellaneous, the competition is about painting!
As for the title of the painting, Lin Ke would not decide on Feng Shui painting, figure painting or the like.
The topic he wanted to answer... was exactly color!
