On the way home from school in the evening, Lin Yuan summarized the newly acquired knowledge in his mind.

What he gained this time was professional-level drawing skills.

But anyone who really understands painting knows that the so-called professional painting level, this description and description is too general.

The types of paintings are already very complicated just from the classification of paintings.

These include ink painting, oil painting, printmaking, watercolor painting, gouache painting, sketching and even sketching, and so on.

It would be even more exaggerated if you divide it from the carrier equipment.

Therefore, we only distinguish the most influential categories of Blue Star from the paintings.

These categories, ranked in order, are Chinese painting, oil painting, watercolor, gouache and drawing.

On the earth, the international status of oil painting is higher than that of Chinese painting, but the blue star is the main appreciation pattern of the East, so Chinese painting is the highest, and oil painting is the second.

Among them, watercolor and gouache and sketch are three categories. Because they are necessary items for the college entrance examination for art students, the threshold is relatively low, and the level of public appreciation can also keep up.

In contrast, the threshold of Chinese painting and oil painting is relatively high.

As for Lin Yuan's professional painting level...

It's not that the professional level painting level Lin Yuan obtained is too general, but because the professional level painting level obtained by Lin Yuan also includes these popular types!

He now understands Chinese painting, oil painting, gouache, watercolor, and sketching.

"Try the effect tonight."

Lin Yuan passed by a stationery store, moved in his heart, and walked in.

pigment

Sketchpad...

brush

Drawing paper...

Professional painting is undoubtedly an extremely expensive thing. Lin Yuan just bought watercolor, gouache and sketching materials and spent thousands of yuan in one go!

"Oil and ink painting materials will be bought later."

Lin Yuan plans to start with a relatively simple practice. After all, sketches, gouache and watercolor paintings are more common in life.

After leaving the house, Lin Yuan took a taxi.

There are too many things to buy, and one cannot carry them back.

Back at home, Lin Yuan chose the balcony as his painting base, first set up the drawing board, and then began to sharpen his pencils

He wants to try sketching first.

Ordinary art students need to copy some sketches. Lin Yuan does not need a professional-level painter. He can complete some sketches based on impressions. The first sketch in Lin Yuan's life is a self-portrait.

Many master sketchers have painted self-portraits.

However, you need more than one pencil for sketching, because different pencil models have different lines, so Lin Yuan sharpened more than a dozen pencils in one go

The first is the more common 2b pencil.

This kind of pencil is more common in sketching and painting. Lin Yuan uses this kind of pencil to complete the large frame of three courts and five eyes.

But this is not certain.

According to different sketching habits, some people also use other types of pencils to frame.

After finishing the frame, Lin Yuan began to paint.

The so-called sketch painting is actually to outline and fill on the basis of a large frame. Lin Yuan is not unfamiliar with his appearance, so whether it is the shape of eyes or nose, he can draw it vividly.

"Smooth lines..."

Lines are one of the most important elements of sketching. Many people dont draw well. In fact, they dont have enough mastery of the lines. Lin Yuan can easily type a dozen lines that look completely parallel and have the same thickness and similar length. This is absolutely impossible.

Then there is light and dark.

The direction of the light determines the brightness.

Whether gouache or sketch, it emphasizes the expressive power of light and shade. People often say that the three-dimensional sense is determined by light and shade, but the basis of light and shade is still lines, and dense lines are arranged together to form the dark side of the sketch.

"call"

Painting is a test of patience. After two hours of tossing, Lin Yuan finally completed this self-portrait!

This speed was achieved because Lin Yuan's level was high enough.

If you want to draw a sketch as much as you can, even if you copy it, it takes only a few hours to complete.

The kind of dynamic pencil drawing that can be completed in 15 minutes to half an hour is called sketching.

Although sketching is also a kind of sketching, the level of precision is completely different from Lin Yuan's painting.

Standing back two steps, Lin Yuan carefully looked at his self-portrait and nodded in satisfaction.

It is indeed a professional painting technique.

This self-portrait of Lin Yuan can be regarded as possessed by form and spirit. If you show it to others, you will definitely receive countless praises, because most of the things like sketches are relatively intuitive and realistic paintings, even people who dont know how to sketch can have them. The corresponding aesthetic.

"It looks alike!"

These four words are probably the basis for ordinary people to evaluate the pros and cons of a sketch. Although they are a bit one-sided, this level is enough, because the factors of the image, the light and shade and the lines are already included.

"Wash and sleep."

After confirming the level he could reach, Lin Yuan went to the bathroom to wash, his hands were already a little dirty at the moment

For painters, dirty is a normal state.

This is just a sketch.

When Lin Yuan was drawing a sketch, he occasionally rubbed some relatively dense lines with his thumb to make the line effect softer (toilet paper and the like can also achieve similar effects)

If it is gouache or even oil painting, because it needs to be dipped in paint, it will inevitably drip onto pants or clothes.

People with cleanliness may not be able to stand it at all.

Those who have written Chinese calligraphy should understand this situation.

After washing, Lin Yuan lay in bed and closed his eyes to go to sleep, and the system suddenly appeared: "Congratulations to the host for completing the first painting in his life. Now the task is released, and the goal of painting prestige value of one thousand in three months! "

"Connect."

Lin Yuan said without hesitation.

The system obviously also knows that painting reputation is not something that is easy to obtain, so the goal set for Lin Yuan is very low, as long as it can reach 1,000 reputation in the initial stage.

[Task Name: The Road of the Painter]

[Task content: within three months, make the painting reputation value exceed one thousand, unlimited ways]

[Task reward: a silver treasure chest, a bronze treasure chest]

Lin Yuan froze for a ~ This task is obviously not particularly difficult, but the reward is so generous, and it also contains a silver treasure chest. It seems that this task must be completed by itself!

"It seems that the system hopes that I can fully develop."

Vaguely aware of the system's mission rules, Lin Yuan finally understood why this system is called the "art system".

Painting, music, and literature are all important carriers of art.

"Tomorrow, let's see if there are any channels for gaining prestige. In addition, I guess I have to learn electronic painting, professional-level painting skills, and combining science and technology shouldn't be difficult."

The system gave Lin Yuan professional painting skills.

But there are some paintings that need to be done with electronic tools. This part of the technique is not given to Lin Yuan by the system, and Lin Yuan needs to learn it himself.
