What do you mean by drawing a picture?

Painting a portrait is to paint a portrait of a character, and painting a character requires that the form and spirit are similar to those of people.

Portrait, in China's original meaning, is to draw portraits of people. It is the traditional name of figure painting in China. It requires people to be similar to themselves in form and spirit. Simply put, it's called portrait when painting.

The photos that are popular now are borrowed from Japanese. As we all know, the Japanese still use 1850 commonly used Chinese characters and a large number of Chinese characters composed of these Chinese characters. Among them, many Chinese words already have the meanings given by the Japanese. In Japanese, portrait has two meanings. One is photography, the other is photography. A photo studio in Japan is called a photo studio.

What is painted in a portrait is like a real thing, and its shape and color are like the real thing in front of us. This is similar to the pursuit of spirit in traditional Chinese painting, and does not seek different shapes. Similar to oil painting, watercolor painting and gouache painting. What it draws, different objects can also give people different textures. Bamboo baskets look like bamboo strips; A table, bamboo or wood can be seen at a glance.

Vegetables and fruits are like real things. Even the texture of ceramics and glass can be expressed. This is very difficult to do in Chinese painting.
