Chapter 216 Lu Li's New Skills

It's time for a boy to read.

Before filing the case, Lu Li swiped his arm and wrote Dragon Snake, writing a regular script calmly.

“This poem persuading me to learn... reminds me of 'Young people don’t know what is precious, and old people look at nothing to shed tears’.”

Lu Li laughed, opened the scroll, Put down the brush.

During this period of time, in addition to painting for Liu Qin, Lu Li has been studying, and every day all has a very fulfilling life.

Calligraphy is closely related to famous poems. In order to write more and better calligraphy works, Lu Li also took time to read Tang poetry, Song poetry, Book of Songs, Yuefu, Zhuzi Baijia, Four Books and Five Classics, etc. 's ancient text.

Under the "unforgettable memory", this kind of mere memorization of the book will not take Lu Li much time.

The belly is full of poetry and literature!

As Lu Li has read more and more poems and books, written more and more calligraphy works and paintings, Lu Li's "literati" temperament has become stronger and stronger.

At the moment, Lu Li has a kind of stubbornness, and his bearing is like a scholar's demeanor.

After the national middle school student painting and calligraphy tournament, Lu Li has been honing his skills at home.

It's just...it's not that easy to continue to improve once you reach the mastery level. Even if Lu Li gets better with each practice under "heaven rewards the diligent", it will take longer to fill the level-up experience bar.

Considering that the future development direction is "plastic art", and simple calligraphy and painting cannot meet the requirements of "craft modeling", Lu Li is ready to learn new content.

On the basis of the original "engraving" skills, Lu Li is ready to extend to root carving, stone carving, wood carving, and even jade carving.

apart from this, sculpture is also important. Lu Li remembered that the Yucheng Youth Palace also had a project of "Clay Sculpture", and planned to learn "Clay Sculpture".

In the art world, calligraphy, painting, carving, and carving are the four basic skills. All other art categories, in the final analysis, are related to these four basic skills.

Lu Li's calligraphy and painting have reached the master level. "Seal engraving" is only proficient in engraving. Sculpture has not been studied at all.

These four basic skills require a lot of energy and time, and long-term practice.

In order to become a "Master", at least these four basic skills must be practiced to Master Rank.

The internet is the best way to get a job. As long as you look for it, there is no "knowledge" you can't find.

The money earned by "translation", plus the father gave 10,000 yuan when he went to Beijing to participate in the competition, Lu Li has already used it to equip a laptop.

Turn on the computer, go to the web page, search for "Introduction to Engraving", and countless pieces of related information pop up.

Root carving, stone carving, wood carving, jade carving, and even "micro-carving", all kinds of teaching videos are available.

Having watched the videos one by one and the materials one by one, Lu Li has already understood the basic techniques of "seal carving".

The so-called "techniques" are actually the use of various tools. What tools to use, how to do it, and what kind of results can be achieved.

For Lu Li, these basic techniques can be understood at a glance, and remembered after reading them.

After mastering the basic techniques, the rest is to spend time practicing slowly and gradually upgrading.

Wood carving is easier to solve, just cut the piece of wood. Stone carving does not make large objects, but it can be done with improvisation. Jade carving and micro-carving are not easy to practice.

Fortunately, the essence of the skills is the same, only the difference between materials and tools. After practicing woodcarving, everything else can be comprehending.

In addition to "seal carving", in terms of sculpture, Lu Li is only suitable for practicing "clay sculpture" for the time being.

Once the clay sculpture is practiced, other types of metal sculptures, plaster sculptures, resin sculptures, glass sculptures, etc. are essentially the same.

After learning the introductory course of seal carving and sculpture and mastering the basic techniques, Lu Li purchased a complete set of wood carving craft knives, clay craft knives, and electric stone carving sharpening tools online.

Now that the tools are purchased, the next step is to prepare the materials.

Wood carving materials are easy to solve, go to the forest farm to buy a few bamboos, buy a few crooked hardwoods, and they can be used for a long time.

The material of clay sculpture is more convenient. Go to your hometown in the countryside to dig a few bags of clay, mix it with clear oil, and knead it into a sticky sludge, which can be used to make clay sculptures.

Stone carving materials are also convenient, pick up some large and small stones by the Tsingyi River, go home and chisel and play!

These materials don't need to be taken home, just pile them up in the carport downstairs. Such junk was thrown on the ground and no one picked it up.

The materials are ready, and the tools for online shopping are also available.

Lu Li cut a bamboo tube with a hand saw, took it home, and started making his first bamboo sculpture.

This bamboo canister, Lu Li is going to make a pen holder.

I picked up the bamboo tube and observed it for a while, first made an overall shape in my mind, then picked up the engraving needle, drew on the bamboo tube, and drew the pattern to be engraved on the pen holder.

Sculpture is related to painting, but it is different.

To turn a two-dimensional picture drawn on a piece of paper into a three-dimensional relief, this process is a test of carving skills.

Every time you make a cut, it must be just right. If you cut less, you can make up for it. If you cut too much, it will be useless.

The most painful thing about carving this kind of thing is that the whole work is almost finished, but in the last part, it is all crooked...

This is what a lie groove?

Especially for precious jade carvings, once you cut it wrongly or crookedly, the loss... will make you feel unbearable.

Therefore, you must not shake your hands when you are engaged in engraving work.

Of course, you can't shake your legs! If your legs are shaking, Liuwei Dihuang Wan can't save you!

Fortunately, Lu Li didn't shake at all.

The skill "Calm" makes Lu Li calm, at a moderate pace, calm. "Ingenuity" makes Lu Li's hands delicate and dexterous.

In "arts and crafts", these two plug-ins are more useful than any innate talent.

Pick up the bamboo tube, and perform "rough machining" first, and make a "rough embryo" by cutting it sharply.

After the rough embryo is finished, the next step is the fine work.

Comparing with the pattern carved on the bamboo tube, use a carving knife to carve and cut a little bit.

This fine carving process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and impatient people can't do this kind of work at all.

Because Lu Li is also making bamboo carving for the first time, the technique is still a little unfamiliar, and it takes more time.

A bamboo carving pen holder was officially completed from morning to afternoon.

Lu Li's first bamboo carving work was very successful, and there was no wrong, crooked or broken carving.

If you don't open the plug-in, the average person will definitely have to cut the carving for the first time, even more than one or two pieces. It will take countless failures to make a finished product.

Even an old master who has been in this industry for many years cannot guarantee that he will not make mistakes and will not scrap a piece of sculpture with a slip of his hand.

Lu Li's first bamboo carving work was successfully completed, which can only be the result of opening and hanging.

This bamboo-carved pen holder is about four inches high, and is almost like a teacup as a whole.

The upper part of the mouth is carved with bright moon and flowing clouds. The middle part is carved with a landscape, with towering green mountains and surging rivers. The bottom is carved into rocks of various shapes along the riverside.

The whole composition looks like flowing clouds around the green mountains and the bright moon shining on the river.

"Not bad! Not bad!"

Lu Li looked at the bamboo carving craft in front of him, nodded with a smile.

The first bamboo carving craftsmanship, with this level, has been considered very successful.

Next, Lu Li switched to another project, picked up the kneaded clay and started making clay sculptures.

Kneading mud is easier than carving.

The biggest advantage of clay sculpture is that it can be done all over again!

Isn't it just a piece of mud? If you don't do it well, knead it into a ball and start again!

Clay sculptures are generally made of human figures.

Lu Li first fixed the clay on a wooden base, pinched out a rough shape, and made a rough figure shape, and then picked up a clay sculpture knife and carved on the clay.

In the sculpture part, the face is the most delicate, and then the movements must be expressive, but other parts are not so delicate.

The first clay sculpture made by Lu Li is the shape of the father moving bricks on the construction site.

If you let Lu Li draw such a picture, it is very simple, and you can draw it easily.

However, turning the painting into a three-dimensional sculpture is not that simple.

When making sculptures, Lu Li's mathematical skills made great achievements again. In the process of transforming from a flat pattern to a three-dimensional statue, various scales and various body data were quickly estimated.

According to the data estimated in his mind, Lu Li sculpts on the clay model, first corrects the overall movement shape, and then finely sculpts the facial expressions of the characters, correcting and carving little by little.

Clay sculpture took less time than bamboo sculpture, and a few hours later, Lu Li's first clay sculpture was officially completed.

"father" stood beside a pile of masonry, reaching out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, his expression was a bit tired, but his eyes were very firm.

This is Lu Li's first clay sculpture!

"Ok!"

Lu Li nodded with a smile, put the clay statue on the table to dry, got up and walked out of the room, ready to cook dinner for his parents.

Not long after, both Lu's father and Lu's mother went home.

Seeing the bamboo shavings that Lu Li swept out, mother smiled and asked, "Wa'er, these bamboo shavings...are you really carving?"

Lu Li I bought some bamboo and wood, and picked up some mud stones. Dad Lu and Mom Lu also knew that Lu Li was going to do sculpture.

Now, seeing the bamboo shavings in the trash, mother is also very curious, "Wa'er, what did you carve? Show us?"

"Two Bauble, the first time I did it, it wasn't very good."

Lu Li replied with a smile, turned around and walked into the room, and took out the bamboo carving pen holder and the clay sculpture.

"Wow...that's how your dad moved bricks, right?"

Mother Lu couldn't help exclaiming when she saw the clay sculpture, "It's exactly the same! The bricks look exactly the same. Too similar! Isn't this good? It's already good!"

"It's exactly the same as the way I moved the bricks!"

father came up , grabbed the base plate of the clay sculpture, held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, nodded with a smile, "It's so similar! My baby is not only good at painting, but also kneading clay figures... oh, sculptures, sculptures are also very difficult to deal with!"

"Aiya! This cup is also very beautiful!"

The mother took the bamboo carving pen holder from Lu Li's hand, looked at the exquisite pattern on it, and admired it. Nodding, "Looks good! Looks good! This mug is beautiful!"

This is a pen holder... uh, well, as long as you like it, if it's a mug.

Lu Li laughed, "Mom, I'll make a sculpture for you tomorrow. A pen holder...oh, and another cup. You and my dad each one."

"Good! Good!"

The mother's face was full of joy.

Lu Li picked up the chopsticks to pick up the dishes at dinner time. When I saw the chopsticks in my hand, my heart suddenly moved, it seems... chopsticks can also be carved and beautified!

Learning art is to make life better. Therefore, the daily necessities at home can be beautified!

Hanging some calligraphy and painting in the living room and making some ornaments not only practice skills, but also make the home full of artistic beauty.

Lu Li made up his mind secretly.

After dinner, Lu Li walked around the house, looking at the living room, the kitchen, and the bedroom.

Although I have been familiar with it for a long time, now I revisit it with an artistic eye, and Lu Li also has a new idea.

Decoration is also a "plastic art"!

The decoration of the home is many years ago, even if it is not replaced, it can be beautified. In addition, the furniture in the home is also very old, and the transformation that cannot be transformed can also be replaced with new ones.

My future craft master will start with home beautification!

Decoration skills still need to be learned, and woodworking skills for furniture also need to be learned. However, this is not difficult for Lu Li!

Study, is it still a problem for those who have hung up?

Between returning to the house, Lu Li turned on the computer, first looked for decoration design materials, then decoration materials and tools, and then looked at the woodworking technical manual and woodworking tools.

It is purely manual operation, requires few tools, and the technology is not esoteric, it is very simple.

After reading these materials, Lu Li began to draw the room structure diagram at home and began to design the decoration style.

A decoration drawing is actually not much different from a painting.

Lu Li drew the decoration renderings on the doors, windows and ceilings of each room.

Mathematics brought Lu Li a rigorous way of thinking. After drawing the blueprint, Lu Li was calculating the required material cost.

Abandon your own labor, re-do some decorations on the original decoration, modify and beautify it, and you don't need to spend any money at all!

What wallpaper? What wall covering? Is it comparable to a painting of mine?

What high-end doors and windows are comparable to my carved and painted doors and windows?

What high-end furniture is comparable to my carved and painted furniture?

It's not a joke, even the chopsticks in my family are works of art!

Thinking about it, Lu Li couldn't help laughing.

The pen draws very fast, and all kinds of pattern designs and ornaments appear on the paper one after another.

A good life starts with beautifying your home!
