1. The difference between meticulous painting and realism.

Fine: precise and meticulous;

Realism: a true description of things.

I call my work realistic pen drawing because the word "realism" can define my work style more accurately and pave the way for the elegance of my work. In fact, the concept of realism is not to deal with works carefully, but to reflect the essence of real life through the description of specific people, events and scenes.

Very good, can be used in any field. Ordinary people (here refers to people without artistic accomplishment) can also handle their "works" cautiously under certain conditions, such as senior carpenters and bricklayers. As far as pen drawing is concerned, whether there is a painting foundation or not, as long as a lot of time is spent on "grinding", the "work" can be handled very carefully. Therefore, if we only judge the artistic level of pen-and-ink painting from the fineness, it will mislead beginners and future generations.

What's the difference between realistic pen drawing and black-and-white photos and sketches?

Strictly speaking, the difference between realistic painting and photographic works is that their creative activities are different from meeting the spiritual needs of the creators themselves. The reason why artists choose various art forms to create is because each art form has a "release point" that conforms to their own creative psychology. The choice of each "release point" is the demand of every artist's spiritual release, which can make artists who release their emotions at this "release point" excited and happy in the process of release. The process of painting creation is to transform the visual image into the subjective image through the artist's spiritual activities (analysis of aesthetic quality), and then form the "works" we see through the so-called art form. Obviously, in the process of photography creation, the photographer's subjective psychological activities are completed by photographic equipment, and a large number of "participation" of equipment will inevitably weaken the photographer's subjective personality in psychological activities (aesthetic literacy analysis), thus reducing the gold content of "subjective essence".

The difference between a painting and a photograph cannot be asserted only on the surface. Because many things are often "chaotic" on the surface, one-sided assertions can easily lead to inaccurate analysis of objective principles, thus restricting our thinking.

Why can't realistic pen drawing be called sketch? The reason is that pen-and-ink painting has creative ideas from beginning to end in the creative process. In other words, the creative concept is the main difference between pen drawing (including pencil drawing) and sketch. If sketch is called pen drawing or pencil drawing, it will inevitably confuse the ideological value of painting creation, and this consequence is serious. In the long run, people who engage in this form of painting will be lazy in thought and frivolous in their works, and it will be difficult to get elegant in the end.

Three: the performance of shrub weeds

In general, when representing shrubs and weeds, I write from the front of the object, and then "shape" it in layers. First, I outline the backlight side of the object with intermittent lines, and then outline the branches of the shrubs behind with intermittent lines. At the same time, I pay special attention to reserve staggered "photoreceptors" for the next detailed "processing".

When using a pen, always make sure that the nib is clean. Wash the pen with water before each dip, and then wipe it clean. These details are analyzed under the works uploaded by the website.

Fourth, study and cultivate the training of objective things.

Sketching is the best way to study and cultivate objective things, and it is also an important means to solve the "craftsman spirit" in works. But from a rigorous point of view, it is difficult for everyone who learns from it to cope with the ever-changing objective things. Because we observe objective things, from a relative point of view, they are static. However, scientifically speaking, "they" are always changing. For natural sketch, we can only draw its "impression" but not its "profundity". The development of cameras provides a very convenient tool for painters to study "nature". It can "lock" every moment of nature for our study. I think it is advisable to use photos to "assist" painting. Because sketching is originally a "copy" of nature. What is different from photography is the way of observing things. If we master the "superb" ability, we can use photography and other modern scientific means to complete great works.

Realistic pen drawing is best assisted by photos, but it must be carried out on a solid foundation.

Five: details and the whole

Regarding the grasp of the relationship between the details of the picture and the whole, I think it is mainly controlled by two aspects, one is contrast and the other is feeling. More technical, easy to master, feeling that there are innate ingredients and acquired experience. When dealing with complex pictures, comparison is often used to control the big relationship (when the shape and chromaticity are obvious). But subtle changes in the picture, as well as unspeakable level changes, all depend on feelings. In real creation, the above two aspects cannot be carried out separately. The creation of pen-and-ink painting is different from other paintings, and there is no room for revision. But this does not mean that there is no way to control it. I think the best control method is to draw more pictures. Only by drawing more pictures can we master its mystery and overcome its difficulties. Because feelings are to be discovered by yourself.

Detail is the soul and main feature of pen-and-ink painting. How to grasp the details of pen-and-ink painting, everyone has their own methods. My method is simple, that is, I have a strong interest in what I show, so the complexity becomes simple. According to your problem analysis, first of all, there are still some problems in understanding what you are showing, which leads you to be indifferent during the performance. Secondly, the topic selection is too complicated. Although there are other factors, these two reasons should be the most direct. Adjust the method and choose interesting topics to express. In addition, according to your own conditions (creative time, creative environment), choose some suitable materials for training, the frame should not be too big, and the time spent on each painting should be kept within the range of your own interest. If you are not interested, don't force yourself. At this time, the training effect is not great, so it is not recommended.

Six: messy performance

For "invisible" bodies (hair, beard, weeds, bushes, etc. ), we must grasp it as a whole. No matter how complex the object is, in the eyes of experienced painters, it is just a combination of simple geometric figures. Under the control of simple geometry, this chaos is divided into several groups. While expressing each group, we should always know that what we express is always the monomer in the whole, so no matter how complicated it is, it is easy to grasp. In this training, don't rush for success, first train your observation ability and understanding ability, that is, train your eyes to summarize and subjectively analyze complicated things, so as to analyze the world from a professional perspective.
