Drawing 2017.02.21#
Last week, I suddenly felt that I didn't have any hobbies or interests, and then I read a long passage of inspirational articles. Impulsively, I signed up for a bell drawing training camp...
Before attending the class, I thought it would be easy. Maybe I'm a drawing genius and can easily draw a beautiful woman with just a few strokes when I go out;
After attending the class, I realized that I was thinking too much 😂
I attended the class on Thursday, and over the weekend, I kept thinking about whether I should draw or not, and then the weekend was gone...
On Monday, I suddenly realized, "What happened to the weekend? It's already Monday, and the homework is due by Wednesday." I quickly started drawing. By the way, what did we learn on Thursday? I can't remember. This is how I feel inside:
Then I quickly flipped through my notes to review. Yes, this is it. I remember now. I need to start by drawing a color chart, then lean on the table, label the pens with numbers, and diligently color the color chart.
After finally finishing coloring, I remembered that I also needed to mark the colors. Oh well, one by one. What color is this? I don't recognize it, skip! How about this one? I don't recognize it either, next! Another one, yellow, good, write it down. Wait, there's another one that looks more like yellow, and there's another one after that. Which one is it? I'm so confused...
Teacher, to be honest, I'm color blind, [facepalm]
Honestly, having a color chart is very convenient, especially when copying. If I don't know which color the teacher used, I can compare it with the color chart, find the pen with the closest corresponding number, and start coloring. It's convenient and fast.
Then I copied a bowl of noodles, drew the outline with a pencil, and didn't know that I needed to outline it, so I colored it directly...
Then I copied a big pot of vegetables. After drawing the outline, it looked ugly, so I told myself that it would look better after coloring. But after coloring, it looked even uglier;
You can still tell that the noodles on top are noodles; but this big pot of vegetables looks like [confused]. What is this? It definitely wasn't drawn by me. How could I, a person with such skillful hands, draw such an ugly picture? It must be fake, I didn't draw it 😂
Then I continued to draw a rolled omelette with okra while lying on the bed. This time, I finally remembered to outline it. I said, "Why does it look different from the one I copied?" It turns out my posture was wrong... After adding the outline, it looked much better.
After work tonight, I drew a steamed pork dish in a wooden barrel. I carefully copied it, but after finishing, it still didn't look right. Why does the meat look like it's placed on a wooden stump...
Summary: I feel like the last steamed pork dish exposed many problems. The lines weren't smooth and round enough when outlining, and I couldn't find a way to fix them when I made mistakes. When coloring, the color handling was incorrect. I feel like I didn't choose the wrong colors compared to the teacher's work, but I couldn't achieve the same effect.
