Attached: Wu Qiang's experience when he completed the group painting "Innocent Youth" when he exchanged letters:
Brother Tan Hui hello!
After more than seven months and spanning two years, I finally completed the creation of the theme illustration of the group painting "Innocent Youth", which is now sent to you, and I have a letter to exchange my experience and views on the theme creation of this group of paintings.
First of all, the creation of the group painting "Innocent Youth" is based on summarizing the creation of the group painting "Internet Age", and lays a more detailed and thoughtful premise for the creation of the group painting "Innocent Youth" in terms of conception, planning and theme determination. Because of this, in terms of creation time, the creative efficiency of the group painting "Innocent Youth" has been improved compared with "Internet Age".

Secondly, the determination of the creative theme of the group painting "Innocent Youth" provides the necessary conditions for creation. The group painting of "Innocent Youth" is an illustration of the caption created for the article "Son Grows Up" written by Tan Huijie, which is composed of three themes: "To Youth", "Sunshine Youth" and "Wise Youth". The real-life appearance of the work, realistic techniques, respectively, the front side portrait of the teenager, the front of the full body half-crouched portrait, and the side of the upper body portrait of the image data as the material, from different angles, actions, postures, looks, to portray the teenager from the youth ignorant, playful, to begin to think about the growth of the problem.
Third, one of the theme illustrations of the group painting "Innocent Youth", "To Youth", is basically created in the form of sketches according to Tan Huijie's ideas and ideas. In this way, not only does the son's pure, confident, resolute, and self-assured expression be portrayed vividly, which is unobstructed. It is even more fully expressed the youthful spirit of the vigorous and youthful atmosphere.

Fourth, the second theme illustration of the group painting "Innocent Youth", "Sunshine Youth", adopts the technique of modern ink figure painting. In the shape of a frontal, half-crouched teenager, his eyes are staring ahead. In the creation, special attention is paid to the sharp eyes of the teenager, so that people can feel his fiery, lively and agile gaze.
Fifth, the third theme illustration of the group painting "Innocent Youth", "Wise Youth", is also in the form of modern ink figure painting. Composition and styling through side figures. It is based on the well-defined faces, flowing hair and bright clothing. The focus is on activating the teenager's focused and thoughtful demeanor. The whole work is to express the attitude of the teenager who pursues fashion and is good at thinking. However, when writing the title of the painting, this illustration accidentally wrote "Wise Boy" as "Sunshine Boy", which is hereby explained.
The above is my rough understanding and impression of the creation of the "Innocent Youth" group painting, my own opinion, and I also askEd Brother Tan Hui for advice.
Put aside your pen and wish you well!
