White painting is a Chinese painting technique in China, using a brush to outline the shape, completely using the lines of ink to depict the object, without color. White drawing is also a basic skill of gongbi drawing.
In Gongbi painting, the line is the skeleton and the soul, and it is also an important embodiment of the pen and ink interest in Chinese painting. There are almost no shortcuts to the improvement of the line, mainly by more practice. For beginners, at least it should be done: uniform thickness, smooth lines, free turning, and no obstacles to the eight-square line. In the later stage, the lines should also pay attention to changes in elasticity, strength, rhythm, space, virtual reality, texture and so on.
White sketch starts
Exercise suggestions: Start with the basic long and short straight lines, round lines, spiral lines, corrugated lines, and learn different pens. Then find the white drawing line after the mask to carry out the copying exercise, learn to feel the original white line drawing line with the pen, strength, and frustration. A week and then take away the white line manuscript under the paper to look at the side of the drawing, can copy the eight or nine points, then your white drawing is basically started.
When practicing white drawing, we should practice with a center forward. Because the center is full and elastic, the lines are very stable and appear more powerful. When you first start practicing, it's easy to have a flanking problem. Especially when the lines are turning. Because the brush is also conical, we should learn to lift the pen when turning. Use the force of your wrist to twist the brush tube in direction. This allows you to stay in the center.
Every line should have three steps: lifting the pen, writing the pen, and closing the pen. You should not go with the flow, and you should have enough patience in your brush strokes. There can't be a little difference in care. Many people have a lot of problems when drawing brush strokes. The main reason is that it is not careful enough, which many people will have. So we're painting. You should be able to listen to music and relax your mind.
center
The pen shaft is held stably and straightly, and the wrist force is focused on the nib, the nib is basically vertical on the paper, and the pen peak is hidden in the center of the stroke.
Flanking
The pen shaft is tilted in the hand, the tip of the pen is tilted to one side when the pen is written, the line on one side of the pen tip is smooth, the line on the side of the pen body is rough, and when the pen is slightly fluttered, there is a significant jagged change.
Shunfeng
The pen runs, and the lines are smooth.
Reverse pen
Tilt with the pen, lean in front of the pen holder, and the tip of the pen retrograde forward, encountering the resistance of the line and scattering. Lines have strength.
Split pen
After the brush is dipped in ink, the pen is flattened, and the flat sweep appears to be white and dense. This method is often used in part-time figure paintings.
Turning
The lines outlined by the weight, pressure, speed and slowness of the pen are rich in thickness and thinness, the rhythm and rhythm of the square circle.
Suddenly frustrated
There is a temporary pause in the hook line in the pen, but the pen does not leave the paper, step by step, the pen is out of breath continuously, resulting in a sense of rhythm of the line.
Line drawing basic brushwork exercises
The line drawing of Chinese painting is a technique that uses the thickness, thickness, square circle, and twist of the line and the lightness of the pen, the speed and slowness, the ups and downs, etc., to depict the structure, sense of quality, sense of space and shape of the figures, flowers and birds. It is the main means, form and foundation of Chinese painting modeling.
Practicing with a pen – the main practice of drawing lines – is the basic practice of Chinese painting, and the practice of drawing lines, i.e. each line, is a technique that directly shows a certain feeling.
Start practicing with short and medium lines, and then practice hooking corrugated lines, circular lines, long lines, and spiral lines. When sketching, it is important to hold the pen, to live the wrist, and to point out the real palm.
Round line exercises
Spiral line exercise - with fingers, wrist pen, from the inside to the outside, counterclockwise stroke, line drawing should be rounded and even.
The combination of ripples and spirals in the hook line exercise, from entry to closing, must master the rhythm of line drawing and the change of the pen and the combination of finger, wrist and elbow.
Entering the pen, closing the pen, line pen to the finger, wrist pen mainly, from the entry to the end, a stroke will be the spiral pattern hooked, and then supplemented by short-term hook small pattern.
The classification of line drawings
There are many types of character drawing line drawing, which can be summarized into three categories according to the change of line thickness:
Clematis: This type of line is evenly thin and the line is slow. When the line is drawn, the center uses the pen, the force is smooth and uniform, the pen does not have the action of pressing up and down in the run, such as the seal book in the calligraphy, the line is soft and rigid, round, straight, smooth, there is a kind of implicit inner power. The works of painters Gu Kaizhi, Zhang Xuan and Li Gonglin often use this kind of line drawing.
Orchid leaf class: this kind of line has a change in thickness, the line pen is faster, the hook line is still used in the center, the force is light and heavy, the brush is pressed in the pen drop and the operation, the line is thin when the pen is lifted, and the line is thick when the pen is pressed, just like the line in calligraphy. This kind of line change is more abundant, and the changes in the thickness, twist, bump, and virtual reality of the line are similar to the image of the orchid leaf. The works of the painter Wu Daozi often use this depiction.
Subtraction: The thickness of this type of line changes greatly, the line is fast, and the line is used to hook the center of the line and use the flank. When using the pen, the strength is large and small, the speed of the pen is fast and slow, the brush is pressed at run time, the momentum of the line is strong, and the subtraction stroke method expands the line to the surface, just like the cursive writing in calligraphy, and the freehand characters often use this kind of line drawing, which is convenient for expressing the author's thoughts and feelings. The work of the painter Liang Kai is typical of subtractive line drawings.
Clothing line drawing exercises
The line drawing method of the clothing pattern is extremely rich and diverse, and there are just a few examples for the practice to refer to. It should be noted that every line, regardless of its length, has the process of starting the pen (entering the pen), moving the pen (line pen), and closing the pen. The beginning is the beginning of a line, and the end of a line is the end of a line. Pay attention to the pen to be decisive (intended to be the first in the pen), calm, and weighty; when writing, it should be strong, dignified and steady, smooth and natural, free and free, and coherent; the pen should be able to be received, there is a tendency to return to the front, and avoid soft and floating tendencies. When the pen is running on paper, pay attention to the strength (bone method of the pen), weight, turn, setback, and urgency.
Analyzing the organizational changes of the left sleeve in different dynamics can strengthen the understanding of the relationship between the clothing pattern and the human body structure, and from the outside to the inside, it can understand the relationship between the main line and the auxiliary line, the complex and the simple, the real and the virtual, the dense and the sparse.
The changes of the upper arm coat pattern at different angles (front, back, front side, half side), pay attention to the change of the line and structure after the change of the angle of the coat pattern, and the change of the line and the line when they intersect
Dynamic line drawing exercises
The dynamics of the stooped butterflies, the organization of the clothing pattern is dynamic.
Transform angle character line drawing exercises
This figure is a variant of the "Palace Diagram", the posture behind the fluttering butterfly is changed to the front butterfly posture, you should pay attention to the dynamic changes, the change of the clothing pattern from the back to the front, this exercise must be from the three-dimensional comprehensive understanding, in order to imagine the character posture of the conversion angle.
